Commenting upon President Wilson
noto to the supreme allied council rel
ative to the compromise UKrccment on
the Adriatic question the Journal says
It was "a larsp paving stone iu the
.conference, pond."
This aptly, sums up the trend of
Pirnch opinion. There 1 no attempt
to disguise the fact that the incident
crcitte a serious Mtuation. ringland
oad France, according to the news
papers here, arc "placed between the
devil and the deep sea." Although Mr.
Wilfon's attitudo Is viewed as ex
cessive in the light of the "discredit
thrown upon hN policy by the resistance
of the senate, yet tuc tact remains .ur,
of Dslmatls to Jugo-Slavla nnd Trieste
and the adjacent country to Italy, there
never has been any !fflcial statement of
the American position regarding the
Adriatic issue.
Since that original position was as
sumed a number of notes have been
exchanged between the Stntc Depart
ment and the Entente premiers, and
there have been several conferences in
Washington between former Secretary
Lansing and the resident ambassadors
and ministers of Italy and .Tttgo-Slavia.
It has been reported that the United
State was willing to accept some
amendments of the original plan, but
all of the exchanges have been closely
guarded. It is understood, however,
that the American position has 'been
one of unalterable opposition to the

Jugo-Slar Cabinet Resigns
Wiile not connected with the situa
tion resulting from the Wilson note, a
cabinet crisis has arisen at Belgrade.
The ministry led by Premier Davido
Titch resigned yesterday, announce
ment stating this i-tep was the sequel
of the refusal of Prince Regent Alex
ander to dissolve the present provisional
parliament and call for the election of
tlm ".sudden and new intervention by
President Wilson." The newspaper
observes he might have expressed his
point of view before the Italian-Jugoslav
question reached its present status.
Washinrlon. Feb. 10. (By A. P.1
President Wi!-on. it was learned today
at the Whi;- House, did not say in his
note to the Entente premiers regarding
the Fiume question that the United
States would no longer be able to con
cern itself in European affairs if a
Tiume settlement were made without
consulting America.
Officials said the int"rpretntion of
the President's note by the Paris Temps
was "too sweeping." They said the
United States would not withdraw
from participation in the peace treaty
and the League of Xation. if the treaty
were ratified by the Senate, but that
it would withdraw from any participa- ,
tion in the Plume stt'ement, including
the policing of the Adriatic. I
The President's position regarding ,
Fiume and the whole Adriatic situation ,
was said to be unchanged. This posi- I
tion. however, never has been officially
outMned and officia's declined today to'
define it.
Xo reply to the President's note has
been received, it was said at the State .
Dennrtmcnt. Dispatches from abroad j
said the renly had been drawn up and i
that in it the nremiers adhered to their j
ultimatum to Jugo-S'.avia that it must
accept the compromise on the Fiume j
question or suffer the carrying out of
the terms of the original treaty of Lon- j
don. .
The suggestion that President 'Wil
son has indicated in his latest note that
the United States would not be disposed
to proceed with its European food re
lief measures if the allies remained ;
obdurat" was made in some official '
quarters todaj . Desire of Great ltrit- .
nin. It.ily and otlipr nations for Ameri
can funds to re'ievo famine in Austria
and other countries, it was suggested,
might influence the allies' Teplies to
the President.
The principal concessions indicated
by the President as possibly acceptable,
it was said in diplomatic quarters, has
iiocn the creation of a buffer state, and
the Entente premiers so far have op- (
posed it.
Conferences at Washington
Beyond the general statement that '
the United States adhered to the orig
inal proposition of the supreme council
iu Paris allotting Fiume uud the coast
319 New Cases of Grip
Three hundred nnd nineteen new cases
nf grip and seventy-two cases of pneu
monia have been reported to the De
partment of Health in this city during
the last forty-eight hours.
There is
the De
partment of Public Safety and the De
partment of Public Works. Through
this combination we shall be able lo ac
complish much.
"There is an impression that throw
ing rubbish and ashes on tho street is
confined to the lower part of the city,
but in outlying districts nnd on pre
tentious thoroughfares' nnd in wealthier
neighborhoods the practice, I find, is
very common.
I "I shall play no favorites. People
who dump ashes nnd rubbish into the
, streets and alleys will bo punished with
1 out regard for social position or politi
cal amliation. .o one, no matter where
they live or what political protection
they may have hitherto cujoyed, will
escape.
"There arc two reasons why tbe law,
with reference to making tUe streets
and alleys a dumping place for ashes
nnd rubbish, has been Ineffectual In the
past; ono is that It mi unpopular j the
other because the violators have had
n political pull that saved them from
punishment.
"Political pu'Is don't go In my de
partment. If au Individual Is arrested
charged with this offense ho will have
to suffer the consequences, It Is a
somewhat roundabout way to reach
them, because we have to take the case
to the city solicitor's office, but I pro
pose to stopthe practice at all costs.
"There IsU long trail behind this in
which politics and business' are mixed
up, but I am not ready to discuss that
yet. I put Chief Hepburn on the street
cleaning job, and, as you know, he went
to work and did things."
"I am just getting around to the
bureau of city propcrtj. It doesn t
sound very impressive, but it represents
millions of dollars. I have had n
survey of City Hall made, but It is
only one item in the grand total. There
are the city markets, fifty-six public
parks and squares, and fifteen unnamed
city parks and plots in charge of that
bureau. , , ,
"There arc the highways on which
we shall spend $2,000,000 for repairs
and patching, and nbout ?3.000,000 Is
to be expended on bridges, po you see
what is nhead of us."

The value of
L. B. filing service
A Library Bureau representative recently sold the L. B.
Automatic index filing system to a large woolen mill.
The service he rendered in connection with the sale is
typical of the service that every L. B. representative is
equipped to give.
The sale included more than folders and guides more
than so much inanimate wood and steel. It included films
service of a superior kind. And this meant, first an intel
ligent analysis of individual requirements.
Only through such an analysis could the L. B. representa
tive have sold this woolen mill a complete, workable, up-to-the-minute,
modern system for taking care of their general
correspondence, bills of lading, contracts, freight bills, paid
invoices, etc.
We cannot tell at long range what improvements may be
possible in your filing methods. But if you have filing
problems which you believe can be smoothed out, it costs
you nothing but a letter or a telephone call to draw upon
our experience of 44 years in this one particular field.
