ASK CREEKS TO POSTPONE
 WAR AGAINST TURKEY
Constantine Is Urged to Accept Medi- tion, Which May Settle Near
 East Situation

Paris, June 22.--Offensive opera tions against the Turkish Nationalists in Asia Minor are opposed by Great Britain, France and Italy, which have dispatched note to the Greek gov ernment asking that Constantine post pone his campaign against the Turks and accept mediation which may settle the Near East situation. The note was sent to Smyrna, where King Con stantine and Premier Gounaris are at present, and it is believed the Greek government will make an immediate reply. Should this reply be favorable. overtures to the Turkish Nationalists will quickly follow.
 It is understood the British stand for the withdrawal of Greek forces from Smyrna and the restoration of Turkish sovereignty over that district. Racial and religious minorities would receive protection from an internation- al police force under the London plan. An agreement regarding Thrace has not been reached, and discussion has been postponed pending the Greek re- ply to the allied offer of mediation.

The discussion arose over the ac- quittal of a young engineer who shot and killed the husband of his former mistress iii the street, without any preliminary discussion taking place His only excuse was that he loved the woman and that his victim had taken her from him.
 The Countess de Noalles immediate ly pronounced her opinion.
 The jury was right" she said. In a crime like this, where love is so im- portant an element, where there is so much human tragedy involved, a iu1y has the right to find that there were two vlctims-the man who fired the shot, as we'll as the man who fell dead at his feet.
 "To acquit such people is simply absurd" replied Alfred Capus, we'll known French writer and member of the French Academy. "They should be punished like any other murder CTS.
 De Porto Riche, French playwright, applauded the verdict.
 Il am always happy when the jury shows itself lenient in such cases" he said. "A death sentence against the young engineer would have been mon- strous.'
 Henry Bernstein, one of the best known of modern French dramatists, took exactly the opposite view.
 There should be no such thing as the 'unwritten law or the aequittal of a person alleged to have been sudden ly moved by great love to kill an- other" said Bernstein. 'In most cases real love has nothing to do with the crime. It is simply the last act of hatred directed by weak mind"
 Minister of Justice Bonnevay has taken cognizanee of the controversy by introducing bill in Parliament to permit jurors to comment on all crimes and recommend sentences. At present French juries only return yer diets of acquittal or conviction. with out comment.
