Lakeland, Oct. Is, 1920.


happened Tuesday night which
thought would make a good piece for
your column, so | thought I would
write you about it. Miss -- ana
MI. - were out driving in his car
and they stopped alongside the road
to talk about the weather and other
things. They were sitting rather
close together and he had his arm
around her.
About that time another automo-
bile came up from behind. Miss IS
father was in it. He made her get
out and get into the other car and
took her home with him. Write up
something about it. WALRUS.
THAT'S EXACTLY the way.
THAT THE letter read.
EXCEPT THAT l left out.
THE NAMES Of the people.
WHO HAD a part.
IN THE incident.
AND l don't know.
80
WHO WALRUS is.
ALTHOUGH don't imagine.
THAT THAT'S his name.
NOW EVERY once in a while.
l GET letter.
SOMETHING LIKE the one.
THAT IS published above.
WITH THE request.
THAT print it.
JUST AS written.
AND IF l had gone ahead.
AND LEFT the names.
so EVERYBODY would know.
WHO WAS being referredto.
THE CHANCES are.
THAT MISS -.
AND MR.. -.
WOULD CALL on me.
AND l don't like to guess.
WHAT WOULD happen.
AND AFTER they got through.
MISS IS father.
WOULD PROBABLY drop in.
AND HE'D say something.
OR DO something.
AND 1T would make it.
AWFULLR UNPLEASANT for me.
TO SAY the least
AND FOR that reason.
80 TF''-
I'VE GOT to be careful
ABOUT SUCH letters.
AS WALRUS sends out.
AND OTHERS of his type.
l THANK you.

relations between the two govern
ments. The correspondence began
with an interesting, indirect quota
|tion from Col House. In an undated
Bernstorfr dispatch from washing
ton. which the Berlin Foreign once
received April IL. 1918. which reads:
House describes to me the feel
ing In regard to the Sussex In very
gloomy terms. At the white House
the situation Is regarded as hope
less. because of the opinion that
despite the resignation of Admiral
Won Tirpitz the German Government
is not able to curb submarine war
fare. even with the best Intentions.
''The American government is con-
yinced the Sussex was torpedoed.
Repetition of such blunder would
force America into the war against
Ius. which Wilson would greatly re-
gret because in q few months. as 1
have reported. he would like to bring
about peace. II the United States
were to be drawn, into the war all
prospect OF speedy peace would be

tions. upon basis which will placate

doubts our bona fides.

Warns Against the Press.
In reply. Secretary 5agow tele-
graphed Ambassador Bernstorf on
April IL: For confidential communica-
ton to Col. House and not for the
press. IL President Wilson desires
peace he therein completely meets
the wishes of Germany. which hopes
for the formation of German-Amer-
lean relations which will render pos
sible cooperation to bring about
peace. JAGOW.
An undated despatch from the
Ambassador in Washington. received
in Berlin on May 4, reads:
House told me that, at his wish.
Gerard had already been informed
as to the minimum demands of the
American government. Wilson is
strongly Influenced by the voices
| for peace. Even the anti-German
ring desires an end to the war. as
otherwise financial losses are
feared.
NY suggestion is based upon the
opinion that submarine warfare, ac-
cording to international law. is
worthless and the beginning of
peace negotiations is far more i'm
Lortant. : fear that the conduct
OF submarine warfare, as of cruiser
warfare. means only postponement
with possible rupture, as fresh in
cidents will surely happen.

DIPLOMATIC CLASH
Disposition of .Constantinople Likely
TO Cause Friction Between Great
Britain and France

TO Cause Friction Between Great
Britain and France
Paris, Jan. 8.-A sharp diplomatic
clash between France and England is
inevitable when the subject of the dis
position of Corstantinople and the
Turks comes up for discussion at
next weeks conference of Allied
statesmen, it is generally admitted
here today.
The question is: Shall England be
allowed to deliver blow that will!
lrive the Turk from Europe, or shall
France prevail and inject stimuli
mt that will keep "the sick man" of
Europe going several years longer?
Recent utteranccs of British states
men have indicated that England de-
sres to drive the Turk from Europe
end force the Sultan to establish his
c7pital either at Broussa or koniah.
This has aroused a stream of protest
from French statesmen and publ
lists.
France has two important reasons
cor keeping the Sultan at Constanati-
79p!c. First, as a country with many
Musselmans among the inhabitants
# her dependencies, she does not wish
to do anything that might shock their
possibilities. Secondly she frankly adj
nits that to Dust the Turk from Eu-
.ope would result in England assum-
:ng a protectorate of the Dardanelles
and, consequently, a predominating
position in the affairs of the Near
East. This would completely eliminate
french influence in that part of the
world.
French statesmen insist that to Gust
he Turks from Constantinople would
Emulate the greedy aspirations OF
several European nations to possess
The great city and thus lay the founda-
tions for future wars.
The French press points out that
Greece already claims Constantinople
and that Bulgaria constantly menaces
it. Whenever orderly government IS
finally established in Russia it is prac-
t;cal!y certain that she will again be
anxious to realize her ambitions to
