Turks Appeal for
 an Early End of
 the State of War

Constantinople, Dec. 3.-Abdul Medjid Effendi, son of Former Sul- tan Abdul Aziz, and heir presump- tive of the Ottoman throne, in an in- terview given The Associated Press today expressed the hope that the United States would ratify the treaty of Versailles and made an ap- peal in behalf of his own people.
 Ut is stated that the Turkish peace is being delayed because of the attitude of the United States, Abdul Medjid said.
 Ut should be remembered that we have been warning for the last 10 years. We are exhausted. Pity should be taken on us and on our homeless people who are living in the utmost misery.
 "It was not our fault if we got into war, but because France and Great Britain sided with Russia against us. For centuries we lived on good terms with the French and the British and also we sought no quarrel with Russia.
 "I warned the French and the English before the war that they were forcing us to Germany's side It would have been a shorter war for them, with the Dardanelles open, if I had been listened to. Also I real ized that . German alliance would ruin us, as we already had had too many wars. What should be- done now? It will be remembered that Alsace and Lorraine were on the causes of the great war. We'll, if Turkey is partitioned it will make new problems of the same kind.
 "For the sake of the whole of humanity let the United States of America continue it's fight for an honest peace. The Wilsonlan prin- ciples are based on eternal peace for all the world. Let the United States, whose honor is pledged in behalf of number peoples, continue fighting until real victory peace is achieved"

 Mexican Justice

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 3.-"1 am now in prison becouse refuse to give bail for one cent, as I will not even compromise with them under any circumstances" w. o. Jenkins, the American consular agent at Puebla Mexico, declares in a letter received today by John P. Edgarton of Lebanon, Tenn, who was captain of the Vanderbilt football team when Jenkins played tackle.
 Jenkins said:
 "I regret very much the great notoriety that has been given to my hard luck, in being carried away by some bandits who live near here, but it has been unavoidable, although the incident would have been forgotteh if the authorities had not tried to cover up their criminal responsibility in allowing the city to be unguarded, by charging me with my own ab- duction. So they have used every means possible to get certain evil dence to cover up their absurd pre- tensions.
 q have never in all my life seen such a farce as they are carrying out here for have been condemned without being allowed to present a single address in my behalf, though l had them ready, and even present. ed them to the courts, but was told that they were too busy to hear them. At the present moment (November 21) the secretary of the embassy ot Mexico City is here taking th.s testimony that it may be presented to the state department inasmuch as the courts refuse to accept it.
 "I have plenty of testimony to off set any false evidence that they can possibly produce, but as I say, Mexi- can justice is of a certain brand Tt the present time and it can't be changed"

GERMANS REFUSE TO SIGN PROTOCOL DUE TO
 OBJECTIONABLE PART
Declare to Put Peace Treaty Into Effect Because of Scapa
 Flow Clause.

Paris, Dec. 3.-Germany is willing to sign the protocol putting the peace treaty into effect the mo- ment certain clauses objectionable to her in the protocol are eliminated, Daron hurt von Lersner, head of the uefman oeles atlon here, told the As- sociaCeu rreSs this afternoon.
 when the German plenlpotentiarye was SnoWn the statement gwen out this morning that on Monday he had informed raul Dutasta, secretary of the peace conference, that Germany had decided not to sign the protocol. baron von Lersner said:
 II nave tull powers to sign the protocol and am ready to sign 1t at any moment when the question of ocapa rlOw is eliminated and refer req to The hague, and when there also are eliminated the paragraph re- larlng to the evacuation of Llthuanla, when we consider already settled and final, and the paragraph which would permit the invasion on our country by armed force in times of peace on any trivial pretext."
 "We have represented to the su- preme council" he continued, what we consider ample proofs that the German government is not responsi- ble for the sinking of the ships at ScApa Flow and yet in order not to aelay the final conclusion of peace we will submit the matter to The hague tribunal"
 The German plenipotentiary point ed out that the paragraphs of the protocol to which his government ob- jected were additions to the protocol as provided for in the peace treaty.
 While it was not true, he said, that Germany was seeking to profit from any circumstances to delay making the peace effective, she did not consider it possible to sign the ad- dltional clauses to the protocol un- conditionally.

FRIENDS OF IRISH
 FREEDOM SCORE SOUTH

Washington, July 16.-(Special.) )-Friends of Irish freedom met in Washington and became so passionate in expressing them selves that friends were almost instant ly transformed into enemies.
 William J. Ryan started the troAole. He denounced the south, in many eyes responsible for all situations, and Sen
 ator John Sharp Williams as holding briefs for Great Britain and against Ire land The speaker was especially angry
 with Williams because he refused to vote for the Senate resolution which urged the peace commissioners to plead for free
 Ireland He did not state his grounds for inveighing against the south.
 John G. Capers of North Carolina, for merly internal revenue commissioner, fol- lowing MT Ryan, so heatedly refuted the statements of that man that the delegates were thrown into an uproar.
 My father" said he, was Confed- crate soldier and as good one as ever lived It puts dangers in the hearts of lovers of Ireland for someone without thought or knowledge to inject such out rageous sectional feelings into meet ing like this.
 The storm was precipitated when sew eral leaders in the Washington Ireland movement read letters from Senator Will Jams which they considered insulting. Senator Williams cast the only vote against the Irish resolution in the Sen ate Many senators declined to vote.

LEWIS FORESEES NEW
 POLITICAL ALLIANCE

Washington, July 16.-(Special.)--J. Ham Lewis, former senator, came to Wash
 ngton from Chicago, talked at length with Joseph Tumulty. the Presidents sec retary, and evolved a new political the ory.
 According to the subsequent announce ment of the ex-senator, the old parties vii, exist hereafter only in name. The
 league of nations, MT. Lewis declares, will so play upon the affections of the
 people that "a great many will leave the republican for the democratic party, and few will leave the democratic for the republican party"
 With all the seriousness of which the
 former senator is capable. he warned his
 hearers not to eyince surprise if run
 ming with the democratic candidate for
 President is a republican running for { vice president on a league of nations
 platform; and if running with the repub- lican candidate for President is demo- crat running for vice president on plat form declaring against the league of na- tions
 There was one statement by the ex- senator that many pople thought entirely plausible He believed the republicans will force the President to become a can
 didate for a third term. He thinks that the republicans will either defeat the league of nations or be able to burden it with specific reservations. and that in
 consequence MT. Wilson will find it nec-
 essary to carry the fight for his high ideals to the American people. "In that event" said MT Lewis. the President would not be considered third | term candidate. He would be a candi- date for first term. For the issue would I be an entirely new issue, and party lines, | as we have known them, would be en- | tirely eliminated"
 |. This is the situation from the Lewis viewpoint.

DIVIDE REVENUE WORK
 OF ALABAMA COLLECTOR

Washington, July, 16-(Special.) )-Mis- sissippi will be separated from Alabama as territory for the collection of in ternal revenue, according to official an- nouncement this afternoon by Daniel Roper. commissioner. as soon as the President names and the Senate con firms a collector for Mississippi.
 For many years revenue in Alabama and Mississippi has been collected by collector having headquarters in Bir- mingham. The effect of the separation, according to MT. Roper the present com : missioner, will be almost negative. The travelling deputies now operating in Mis- sissippi territory will be taken from Ala bama and assigned to Mississippi, ana MT. Roper hopes that he will be able to use surplus Alabamians in the service to form a nucleus for the operation Of the Mississippi office.

taken place, and that the differences be tween the two cannot be composed.


 tween the two cannot be composed.
 It begins to appear that the fight is be- ing waged not by the generals them selves but by their friends. General March has denied to local ,correspon- dents that differences have developed se- rlous enough to cause the retirement or either. He was especially vigorous in denying reports that he had builded up within the war department machine Tn his own behalf.
 The friends of General Pershing do not hesitate to present their bill of complaint against General March. They say that as soon as Pershing made March chief of staff the latter got busy in efforts to hamstring the commanding general. IL
 is claimed that his first move was to maintain Pershing in charge of the army. but to take away from him control or the supplies for that army He then pro ceeded to reduce in rank scores Of officers promoted by Pershing, according to these reports He next reduced the scholastic term at West Point an institution which has ever been next to the heart or Fer shing. But this would appear so small grievance that it is not seriousiy pressed.
 And then, according to the Pershing school, a brother of General March, re-  Steel. democrat in normally republican district of Pennsylvania. It is claimed that the soldiers in camp and france were favorable to the democratic candl- date. and that the chief of staff, by or der denied them the right to vote. But the brother of General March was beaten despite the alleged procedure against the right of soldiers to vote, so this case should not go so hard against the chlef of staff.
 While the great bulk of the foregoing is simply gossip, it is matter Of very great interest that in all probability eitber Pershing or March will retire with in very short order. Before the war General March was a lieutenant colonel Were he to remain in his present position he would outrank General Pershlng, wno commanded the American armies in the world war
 It is said that March would retain ms position. But the administration Will DC required to show it's hand. and 1t IS ne' l liieved generally that Pershing, for senti' mental if no other reasons. will be rec ognized.

Efforts Under Way to Make

General Sbert Honored by FrenchDifferences Between March and Pershng Grow Serious-Frends of
 Irish Freedom Roast South
GH W. ROBERTS con GENERAL SIBERT IS
 orial IGNORED BY FRENCH

Washington, July 15-( SpeciaL)-In con- nection with the embryonic senatorial fight in Alabama, the question of equal suffrage becomes more and more impor tant especially since the President bore out the predictions of The Age-Herald and Alice Paul, militant leader, that he would appeal to the legislature for rat ification of the Susan B. Anthony amend ment.
 As is recalled. Miss Paul predicted that the President would intercede. She de- clared that it was necessary that demo- cratic legislatures show more interest in ratification than democrats in the Sem ate showed in submission. She declared that if the President did not act on his own accord. he would be urged to act And the President acted. It is not known who, if anyone, inspired him.
 Miss Paul, after dispatching one of her organizers to Montgomery, expressed hope that Alabama women would have the right to suffrage by next spring in order that they might vote against Sem ator Underwood She was informed that the people of Alabama would re-elect Sem ator Underwood no matter how he stood on this or any other one issue. She wanted to know why. and was informed that the people regard him as a very able man and an excellent representative in the Congress of the United States"
 But in the matter of equal suffrage he vias not very able man., rejoined Miss Paul All of us would like to vote against him"
 The issue seems clearly defined in Ala bama. L. B. Musgrove, the candidate of the Brooks Lawrence faction is said to have furnished the ladies with an automo- bile and a chauffeur, and otherwise to have offered them comfort and support. Senator Underwood, on the other hand, at the very same instant was mailing to the people of Alabama, including members of the legislature, his recent speech against the submission of the amendment $. b. Weakley of Birmingham is apparently not so aggressive in the cause's behalf as Mir. Murgrove, but information in Wash ington is that he stands for ratification.
 There was report in this city this week that the national wing of the Anti Saloon league would endeavor to draw Judge Weakley out of the race in order tEat Mir Musgrove might run single handed against Senator Underwood It is also said that the leaders were warned that Judge Weakley was as strong if not stronger than MT Musgrove, and that in any event he could not be budged that when he announced over his sigma ture that he was 'in to stay" he was
