Blease Aduocates Lynchug
and Defends Pardon Record

Richmond, Va, Dec. Am the name
of the state of South Carolina, Gov
ernor Blease served notice to the
Governors Conference that lynchers
of negro assailants of white women in
his state would go unpunished. Gov
ernor Blease warmly defended his use
of the pardoning power as we'll, de-
claring that in twenty-five months he
had pardoned or paroled approximate
ly 400 prisoners and that he hoped the
number at the end of the second term
would be 800

South Carolina, and l say 1t again
now," he declared, "that 1 will never
order out the militia to shoot down
their neighbors and protect a black
brute who commits the nameless crime
against white woman.
Therefore, in South Carolina let 1t
be understood that when negro as
saults a white woman all that is need
ed is that they get the right one and
they who get him will neither need nor
receive trial"
Governor Blease justified the use he
had made of his pardoning power, he
said by conditions he had found in
penal institutions in the state.

of South Carolina" he said, 'and

but to stand and work or take the
lash. Just the other day, Jim Rob-
erts, negro from Charleston, stopped
me as l was walking through and re-
spectfully asked permission to speak
to me. He told me that he had been
kept in Jail for twenty-five years for
stealing $27 watch.

truth you will eat your Christmas

"He said, Governor, have no

it away from here and he will.
Another negro had served eleven
years and seven months for stealing

fenced a man to death when he did not
believe the man had been convicted
beyond reasonable doubt. Another
wrote that he sentenced to death a
man whom he did not believe should
be put to death. He did not believe
it at the time, nor does he believe il
now.

Greece Expected to Sign ArmlstIee.
London, Dec. 4.-The protocol ar.
ranging an armistice was signed late
Tuesday evening by the Turkish and
Bulgarian delegates, the latter repre-
senting also Servia and Montenegro.
Prior to this there had been long sit
ting of the Turkish council Of minis
ters to consider fresh proposals. sub
mitted by the alliea,
The refusal of Greece to sign the
armistiee Is susceptible Of different
interpretations. In the first place. -
taeit aFmistice has been in existence
for more than q week already, It 4
not impossible that the negotiations
may have served to bring about an
agreement on the general principles Of
peace terms, such as would promise
the speedy arrangement Of peace
treaty when the conference meets In
London, In this case the fact that
Greece is standing out from the arniiss
tice protocol would not be of great
Importance.
In the second place, Greek alb
sention may seem a serious split
among the allies arising from jealous
les concerning the possession Of So
loniki and the insistance Of the Greeks
on the capitulation of Adrianople.
Scutari and Janina.
Other points which may influence the
situation are to be found in the fact
that Turkey recently sought to con
clude a separate treaty with Greece
that Bulgaria apparently is not unwiIl
ing to enter into an alliance with Tur
key and that the allies are desirouI
that Turkey shall enter the Balkan
customs league.
There is rumor in Sofia that sug
gestion has been made to substitut,
Roumania for Greece in the Balkal
league. It seems clear from the repor
that Bulgaria will ignore the Greel
offer to land an army in Gallipoli pc
ninsula and to send her fleet to at
tack the Dardanelles, that the rela
tions between Greece and Bulgari
are greatly strained and these signs o
dissension among the allies leave tn
r situation full Of dangerous possibil
ties. ~
