Washington, Feb. 19. Preeldont
Wilson's second note, to tho allied Pre
miers concerning the Adriatic dispute
Is being prepared and 'probably will be
cabled to-morrow evening:.
Thero was every Indication to-day
that the Premiers, confronted with tho
President's first note disapproving
their course, and his threat to with
draw the treaty, had' put it up'.to the
President to suggest some other solu
tion than that which they embodied in
their ultimatum to the Jugo-Slavs.
This ultimatum .has been, extended
from time to time, but to it the. Allies
till stand committed. Before rescind
ing it the Allies apparently wont to
eee what the President has to propose
In its stead in view of the Italian re
jection of the Joint memorandum of
December 9.
Just how far the Allies have gone In
discussing the relation of this Govern
ment toward European affairs, brought
up by the President himself in hlsj
threat to withdraw, the treaty, has not
teen disclosed. Upon this point. In
volvlng not only as it does the-Adrlatlc
question but the Turkish problem. In
terest In the Senate now Is focussed.
Dictates for an Hour. ' '
Tn meeting the situation created by the
allied answer to his recent note Presl
dent Wilson showed more of his, old firm
to-day than on any previous occasion
Hnc his "illness. After spending all
reiterday afternoon turning over In his
tnmd the reply of Premiere JJbyd George.
JIUlerand and Nlttl he sent for his confi
dential stenographer at $ :30 o'clock this
morning and spent more than an hour In
Ma study dlctattng what appears to
have been a rough draft of his reply.
It then was carried .over to the State
Department, where It engrossed the at
tention of Frank Polk, acting Secretary
of State, who. It Is understood, was called
upon by the President to supply certain
technical details which the President
lacked.
It was evident from what went on to
day that unusual care Is being taken In
the preparation of this note, and the
finished draft yet awaits the President'
approval It probably will be despatched
to-morrow evening.
There Is now no question that .this
'hole correspondence; momentous in its
nature as revealing Mr. Wilson's present
conception of our foreign relations and
ue allied dilemma, will be given to the
world In Its entirety within the next
few days. The President was reported
tc-cay merely to be awaiting the "receipt
by the allied Governments of the note
he Is now preparing before -jnaklng all

leaving M. Trumbitch made a state

Samuel Gompers, head of tho Amer

Is preparing a protest to tho President
against tho measure on tho grounds
that the labor provisions are unsatis

that federal' contro'f should be contin
