DECIDE
TO MAKE PEACE
WITH THE TURKS
Will Take Action Soon, Even
Without America, Lloyd
George Says

London, Dec. 19.-Without any
disrespect, and without wishing to
deprive America of the honor of
sharing in the guardianship of Chris
tian communities. the Allies have
decided to make peace with Turkey
mier Lloyd George declared in the
House of Commons.
Premier Nitti, of Italy, has been
invited to meet Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau,
and possibly an American repre-
sentative in Paris in the course of a
few days. Lloyd George in the
House of Commons said an effort to
settle the question of Fiume was the
purpose of the meeting.
Agreement on Russia.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there was
complete agreement among the AL
lies on the question of non-interven-
ton in Russia. but that discussions
We're progressing between the Unit
ed States and Japan concerning fu-
ture action should the Bolshevik ad-
vance reach to any considerable de-
gree eastward.
Premier Lloyd George said it was
impossible to make peace with Rus
sia because of the civil war existing
there. If the Bolsheviki wanted to
speak for Russia, he added, they
must summon a national assembly
based on a broad franchise that
would represent something with
which the Allies could make peace.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the agree
ment to guarantee France against
wanton aggression was subject to
ratlilcation by the United States of
that particular point. If the United
states should not ratify the guaran-
tee to France. he stated. Great
Britain would be free to reconsider
her position.
No Secret Diplomacy
The premier began by defending
a certain reticence in negotiations.
lnstanclng the danger of dropping 1
word calculated to kindle infiam-
mable opinion in Italy regarding
t1ume but contended that this was
not secret diplomacy and pointed
out that the publicity given to all
decisions of the Paris conference
was unprecedented.
with reference to the Anglo
Amerlcan-tr conventions. he
said that the British government
mad given no underta king on the
subject, for the simple reason that
1t could not imagine that the United
states would dishonor the signature
or ITS great representatives. He ad-
mltted that for Great Britain to nm
dertake the charge alone would he
serious obligation, which he would
not enter upon without the consent
of parliament.
Mr.. Lloyd George defended tbe
delay in making peace with Turkey
on the ground of the necessity 10
know what the United States intend
ed 20 do. France and Great Britain
ne declared, already had heavy bur.
dens, while the United States was
under no great extraneous burdens
and had her gigantic resources.
1t would have been precipitate
and led to misunderstanding and
suspicious, Mr.. Lloyd George said
had we not awaited Americas de.
cision. We are now entitled to saw
that we have waited UP to the very
last minute we promised America
and there is no prospect of America

Gossip From Abroad

Richard Wagner's widow, Cosima,
was reported dead in recent cable
dispatch from Berlin. Later the "Vor-
warts" denied her death. The widow
Wagner is seventy-eight years old
Latest reports have it that she is af-
licted with senile debility.
The story of Wagner's liaison with
the daughter of his greatest friend,
List, and the wife of his friend, Hans
Won Bulow. whom he afterward made
his wife, is ancient history. Before
this came Wagner's affair with Jessie
Lausson, young French girl whom he
met in Dresden, and later deserted to
marry his first wife, Minna Planer. At
ter Minna came Mathilde Wesendonck,
then Cosima. The widow Wagner's
mother was the Comtessc d'Agoult, the
daughter of French Napolecnic Off
GER, the Comte de Flavigny. When she
eloped with List, she WAS the wife of
another Frenchman. Coslma's maternal
grapdmother was Marie Bethmann-
Hollweg, an heiress of Frankfort on
the Main, grandaunt of the former
Chancellor of the late German Empire.
For many years the WIDOW Cosima
has ruled Bayreuth with rod of iron.
