to Turkev it appears to have been de
elded that the sultan shall stay in Coii
Rtnntinople. This, It Is understood, did
not Ht in with Mr. WPmjh's plans.
With regard to Ilussla it was decided
to resume trade relations and perhaps,
though this is not clear, tn negotiate
pence. The news that Mr. Uoyd
Georse had decided to trade with Russia
was followed by the publication of n
dispatch, probably inspired, in one of
the administration newsnapcrs sharply
rritlclsii.ing Mr. I.loyd George nnd his
new Hussion policy. The probability

to let Mr. I.loyd George and M. Mil

't 'Moslem possessions, and her Moslem
peoples are everywhere on the edge of

ligious head of the Moslem world. A
respectful disposition of him. which
fdiowed regard for the feelings of his
followers, would probably do much to
quiet the Moslems of the 15ritWi em

the British for a similar reason do uof

what to do with the Turk threatens
the peace of the world. It cannot wait
upon our President, our Sennte and
the coming intioual election.
To get back to normal I'uropc must

cannot buv from us. And we show uo

Europe's first steps in sclf-ieliauce
Avoiding Affront to Wilson
Europe is going to settle its own
problems, avoiding affront to President
Wilson, but justifying action by her
own necessities and the demonstrated
' Incapacity or unwillingness of the Amer-
1 lean Government.
When the Grey note was published
in the London Times the Echo dc Pans
; and other well-informed Paris papers
' oid. "the Allies have abaudoued Wil
son," and in a large sense that is true.
They have found the game of waiting

the United States; on", money to re
store the devastations of the war, and.
one. troops in case allied Europe had
to fight a considerable hostile combina
tion in the future.
With regard to money Mr Wilson's
secretary of the treasury has told
Europe she must expert nothing, and
Europe knows perfectly she must ex
pect nothiug. With regard to troops
the United States Senate has refused
to guarnntec the territorial Integrity of
allied Europe, which now knows that
she cannot count upon Mr. A llsou k
pledge of military support either under
cover of tlie ebvenunt or miner me
French alliance which the President
negotiated.
Hi place of that allianei the dis
patches emphasize the Anglo French
alliance, which is politely described
ns subordinate to the American French
alliance. Militarily it is plain that Eu
rope counts upon this rather than upon
the uncertainty of American participa
tion in European affairs.
Peace Reins liuropeanUed
Whnt is tnltlntr nhiee Is a Elllolicati-
izing of the peace. And Eurojie when
wc get ready to enter the League of
Nations, if the trcatv goes over into
the nevt campnign. will be very much
the old Europe.
The less likely our participation be
comes the more important it becomes
to Lloyd George1 and Milleraud to please
Italy rather than Mr. Wilson, (hough
undoubtedly the utmost will be done to
avoid as much as possible giving offense
to America. If we will not take a man
date in Constantinople and Anatolia,
which will give us the heart of the
Moslem problem, then it become more
linnnrtnnt tn T.lnwl (Sconce and Mil-
! leraud to conciliate the Turk. And if
we will not finance Europe, then Eu
I lope will have to buy cheap in Itus
sin.
Wilsou may not have threatened in
so many words to withdraw utterly and
I finally from Europe. Hut virtually we
are out of Em ope and Europe knows it.
And Europe is b-ing forced by its needs
I in our absence to go abend nnd settle its
, troubles in a European way, which at
least is lessening the prospect of our
ever going back effectively into Europe.

iug upon the trend of international re
lations, These, according to .the
Gioruale d'ltalia. may be influenced by
the last "ukase from President Wilson
which has agnin encouraged the greedy
and disproportioned claims of the Jugo
slavs." Commenting on Picsident Wilsons
unto to the Supreme Allied Council, th
Gioruale d'ltalia fays: "lbs Interven
tion was couched in such an uugeuial
form as to mouse the suspicion it was
.suggested only liv his invincible aversion
toward Italy. He must hue convinced
eveu his compatriots that lie is guided
only by animoiity. Therefore, the Allies
have reacted energetically against his
attitude, which is offensive also to their
dignity, as the compromise nroposnls
sent to Belgrade were l.amed chiefly by
Pretirer Lloyd George. Mr. Wilsou,
wlm purposely was not presented at
the discussion of the compromise, ha?
no right to veto his application."
The Corriere d'ltalia contends Presi
dent Wilson should have expressed his
opinion of the solution of the Adriatic
question when It wns discussed. Instead
of when it was about to bo executed,
while the Idea Naaionnle says: "Sec
ictary Lansing's resignation proves Mr.
Wilson's opinion is not the. opinion of
the United States.
"Italy's Calvary is to he prolonged
by the will of one man who is dictating
the laws of Europo." says Italic, a
newspaper printed in the French lan
guage. The Epocn says! "If the powers
maintain their support of Italy, Bel
grade may eventually accept the com
lromhe. thereby lellcviug the tension
lOtween Europe and the Vnltcd
States."
"Mr. Wilson's action " remarks (he
Tribuna. "places an insurmountable
obstacle in Jhe way of a settlement of
the Adriatic question. Free Europe
cannot tolerate the imposition of the
will or one man. who m no wise rep
reeuts the view of ins cotintiy nor his
own party."
A dispatch to the Mcssagcro from
London says that in discussing the
Adriatic question Malurilny at tlie Lon
don conference, Slgnor Nitti, the Ital
ian premier, remarked that the eco
nomic situation of Europe was unfor
tunately such as to preclude negotia
tions which would lead to the best
solution.
"Hence." says the Messagcro. "in
the discussion of the question which
si ill can be settled we always must
keep present the American factor. Wc
must not forget that America has the
knife by the handle, 'ine temporary
absence of American representation on
the council does not menu that Amer
ica takes no interest in the work of
the conference. She watches the pro
ceedings and can intervene at the
psychological moment ajid annul every
decision."

Tlie text of the note sent by the '
allied powers to Holland follows :
1 "The imnrense sacrifices made in the
general interest by the powers during
the war entitle them to ask the Neth-I
, erlands to reconsider its refusal, based '
, on the weighty but entirclv personal I
i considerations of a state which he'd .
I aloof from the war and cannot, per-
hap-j, appreciate quite accurately nil
the duties ahd dangers of tho present
hour.
"Trie note of January Ifi was sent in
the name of the Allies, twenty-five in
number, who were signatories to the
treaty of peace and the collective man
datories of n majority of the civilized
nations of the world. It is Impossible
to disregard the collective force of this
request, which is the expression not
only of the feeling of indignation of the
victims but of the demand for justice,
made by the conscience of humanity as
a whole.
"The Netherlands Government surely
has not forgotten that the policy nnd
personal actions of the man required for
judgment by the powers have cost the
lives of approximately 10,000,000 men,
murdered in their prime, and have been
responsible for the mutilation or snnt
tcrcd health of three times as many,
the laying waste to nnd tho destruc
tion of millions of square miles of ter
litory in countries formerly industrious,
peaceable and happy, nnd the piling up
of war debts running iuto billions, tho
victims being men who hud defended
their freedom and incidentally that of
Hollaud. , ,
"The-Allies cannot conceal their sur
prise nt (hiding in the Dutch reply no
single word of disapproval of the crimes
committed by the emperor, crimes
which outrage the most elementary scu
timentx of humanity and civilization,
and of which, in particular, so many
Hutch untionals themselves have been
the innocent victims on the high seas.
"I'o help bring to justiSc the author of
such crimes plainly assorts with the
aims of the League of Nations.
"Narrow Conception of Duties"
"Holland, whose history tells of long
struggles for liberty, who tins suttercd
so grievously through disregard for jus
tice, could not place herself by such n
narrow conception oJf her duties outside
of the comity of nations. A duty which
none cau avoid for national reasons,
however weighty they may be, is to
unite in order to mete out exemplary
punishment to responsible nuthors of the
disasters and nbominations of the war
and endeavor to revive conceptions of
solidarity and humanity in the German
nation, which is still unconvinced of the
falsity of the tenets of its government,

"The powers desire to remind the
government of the Netherlands thnt if
it should persist In its attitude of de
tachment toward the presence of the
imperial family on Its territory so close
to Germany It would assume direct re
sponsibility both for sheltering from
the claims of justice nnd for that propa
ganda which is so dangerous to Europe
and the whole world.
"Tho powers cannot conceal the pain
ful impression made upon them by the
refusal of the Dutch Government to
hand over the ex -emperor to them with
out any consideration of the' possibility
of reconciling1 tlie scruples of Holland
with some effectual precautionary
measures to he taken either oii the spot
or by holding the ex-emperor at a dis
tance from the scene of his crimes,
making it impossible for him to exerl
his disastrous influence in Germany m
the future,
"Although n proposal of this nature
would not correspond fully to the re
quest of the powers, it would at least
have afforded proof of those feelings
which Holland cannot but possess, ,
"The Powers urge upon the Dutch
Government in the most solemn and
pressing manner the importance at
taching to fresh consideration of the
question put before her. They desire
that it may bo clearly understood how
giavc tbe situation might become if th
Netherlands Government were not in n
position to give those assurances which
the safety of Europo so imperatively
demands.
