WOMEN ARE
FOR LEAGUE
(By the United Press)
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—The League
of Women Voters, in the closing ses­
sion here today approved of the
League of Nations without reserva­
tions. A resolution was adopted af­
ter a bitter debate on the motion urg­
ing the “adhesion of the United
States to the League of Nations with
such reservations as are considered
necessary, but with the least possi-
ble delay.”
The phrase “with such reserva-;
tions,” was eliminated before it was
i
adopted.

LONDON, Feb. 18.—President Wil-
son’s note to the allies in which he
threatens withdrawal Irom the treaty
of Versailles, and the American with­
drawal from the French protective
agreement if the allies refuse the
president’s plan for the settlement
of the Adriatic dispute, has arrived,
it was learned officially today.
PARIS, Feb. 18.—Considerable
confusion regarding President Wil­
son’s stand on the Adriatic dispute
exists today due to the contradic­
tory dispatches from Washington.
Despite one dispatch quoting the
White House as denying the presi­
dent threatened to withdraw, French
newspaper men who accompanied
Premier Millerand to London and
who claim to have seen the Wilson
note, positively said the President
did threaten to withdraw.
The note, these newspapermen de-
clare, consists of five pages written
by former Secretary Lansing with
a postscript signed by the president.
They said the postscript declared the
president would “consider seriously
America’s withdrawal from the Ver-
sailles Franco-American treaty” if
his position in the Adriatic dispute is
not accepted.
