ALLIVS TO SEEK
TURKISH PEACE
No Disrespect to America Intended.
o Time for Delay.
London, Ded. 18.--Without any dis
respect and without wishing to deprive
America of the honor of sharing in the
guardianship of Christian communi
ties, the allies have decided to make
peace with Turkey at the earliest pos
sible moment. iPremier Lloyd George
declared in the house of commons to
day.
Mr. Lloyd George said there -was
complete agreement among the allies
on the question of non-intervention in
Russia, but that discussions were pro
eceding 'between the United iStates and
Japan conce ning future action should
the Bolsheviki advance reach to any
('onsiderable degree eastward.
Premier Lloyd George said it was
impiossible to make peace with Russia
because of the civil war exh:tlng there.
If the Bolsheviki wanted to s'peak for
Russia, he added, they must summon
a national assembly based on a broad
franchise that would represent sonic
thing with which the allies could make
peace.
Mr. Lloyd George said the agree
ment to guarantee France against wan
ton aggression was subject to ratifi
cation by the United States of that par
ticular point. If the United States
should not ratify the guarantee to
France, he sta ted, Great Britain would
be free to reconsider her position.
The premier began by defending a
certain reticence in negotiation, in
stancing the danger of dropping a
word calculated to kindle Inflamma
tory opinion In Italy regarding Fiume,
but contended that this was not secret
(ipl)omacy and pointed out that the
publicity given to all decisions of the
Paris conference was unprecedented.

simple reason that It could not im
agine that the United States would
dishonor thd.f ignature of its great rep
resentative. lIe admitted that for
Great Britain to undertake the charge
alone would 'bo a serious obligation,
which he would not enter upon with
out the consent of parliament.
Adding to his Russian statement he
said it was a dismal prospect .but all
that could be done was to keep vigi
lant watch until Russia issued from its
present darkness with a stable govern
ment to carry on negotiations.
The premier referred to the assist
ance the allies were rendering Austria
in food, coal and other supplies which
he described as a mere coup kitchen
policy to mitigate a situation equir
ing large methods.
"But," the Premier continued, "Eng
land aone already is severely burden
led and cannot undertake the task of
restoring the shattered nyorld and I
f '1 to see what can be done unless
America comies frankly to take her fair
share."
Mr. Lloyd George defended the delay
in making peace -with Turkey on the
ground of !he necessity to know what
the United States intended to do.
France and Great Britain he declared
already had heavy burdens while the
United States was under no great ex
traneous burdens and had her gigantic
resources.
It would have been precipitate and
lead to nilsunderstandings and suspic
ions, Mir. Lloyd George said, "had we
not awaited America's decision. We
are now entitled to say that we have
waited up to the very minute we prom
iscd America and there is no pros
pect of America coming in."
It was here that Mr. Lloyd George
declared that ,without any disrespect
and without 'wishing to deprive the
United States of the honor of sharing
in the guardianship of Christian con
munities, the allies had decided to
make peace with Turkey at the earli
est possible moment.

WOLFE ADVISES ABOLITION
OF DEATH PENALTY
Suggest8 to LegIslature that Such an
Act be Passed'st the Coming Session
Columbia, Dec. 22.-Attorney Gen
eral Samuel M. Wolfe favors the aboli
tion of the death penalty in South
Carolina and he is so recommending
to the legislature (which conevenes in
January, in his annual report, which
he is now preparing.
The attorney general takes the po
sition that the death penalty is "cruel
and unusual punishment," which the
constitution prohibits. He also takes
the view that juries revolt at the
thought of the Infliction of death and
therefore give the criminal the bene
fit of the "reasonable doubt." Ile .be
lieves the death pnalty brutal, and he
states that rtatistics do not sustain
the contention that. the penalty of
death tendi to reduce crime.
In his renort. the attorney general
makes he following recommendation
with- rgard to the death penalty:
"I reconiend the abolition of the
death penalty. Section 19 of Article
1, of the constitution provides that
excessivo bail shall not be required,
or excessive fines imposed nor cruel
and unusual punishlient inflicted. I
would con.itrue this to prohibit the
death penalty but evidently this is
not the construction put upon it by
the people of the state at large.
"Extreme penalties like other ex
tremes, tend to defeat their desired
end. The averago Juror revolts at
the idea of being made a party to
Inflicting kuth and acquits when
there should be conviction. And his
heart becomes fertile ground for the
'reasonable doubt.'
"It is difficult to differentiate be
tween motives when the state metes
out to the criminal the same horrible
fate he inflicted upon his victim. The
death penalty imposed by the State
is in the minds of the mob, excuse
for their own twantonness. They rea
son that -he only difference lies in
the method.
"The citizen never rises above his
government. If it is brutal and bar
baric In its methods, likewise will be
his awyn. The death penalty is not a
deterrent to crime. Statistics are am
ple on this point. With this argument
gone, th er", is nothing to justify it,
Irand Vhitlock, one of the closest
students of criminology, says: 'Therc
were never as many traitors in Eng
land as when even the suspect wat
drawn and ouartered.'
"Certainly the death sentence shouli
not be imposed in cases of convictiori
