LoNDoN, Oct. lin his speech at

Of the United States. 1t was impossible.
he said, to settle the destiny of Turkey
before knowing whether che United

During his references to Turkey Mr..
Lloyd George turned to American AM
bassador Davis, who was present, and
said:
Il am glad that you are brought face
to face with the American Ambassa der.
We are undertaking a great civilizing
duty at great cost to our country
Providence has sent this mirsion to our
race. We beg our kith and kin in
America to Join us in this task. Unless
they do so I do not know what will
happen to parts of the Turkish Empire"
The Prime Minister, in a further Sef-
orence to Turkey. said:
The people Of Turkey have been living
in the shadow OF great tyranny for
centuries. They are appealing to Ameri
ca for help, l hope that the appeal
will not be in vain. Such a remark
might sound impertlnent from a Brit
ish Minister. but we are undertaking
