ENGLAND NOT ID PURCHASE PEACE
 WITH DISHONOR
Great Britain Will Not Aceede to Demands of KemaIistS, Curzon Announces in
 Address
Rx AssocIated Press

London, November S.-Great Brit ain refuses to purchase peace with the Turks at the cost of Humiliation and disgrace Marquis curzon. Brit ish secretary for foreign affairs, de- elared today in an address,.
 The attitude Of the KemaIists re- fiected in their demand that the al- lied troops leave Constantinople. will not be tolerated, he added and he gave flat warning to the nationalists that they will come to sure disaster if they venture to oppose their mili- tsry power to the strength of Great Britain, and the might of Europe
 The gravity of the situation in the Near East was emphasized by Lord definite menace to the peace of the world"
 Replying to what he described as jibes made at himself by former Prime Minister Lloyd George and Winston Spencer Churchill, he de- clared that MT Lloyd George did much to win the war. and that his record would be inscribed on the pages of history but that some of his actions as prime minister had not been helpful to Curzon's department.
 The foreign secretary referred to the British manifesto of September Is. which declared the empire was pre- pared to fight to maintain the free dom of the Dardanelles. This. he added, was issued without his knowl- edge. and was unfortunate in its character and tone.
 Resents Interference
 When there was a premier with the peculiar gifts of Lloyd George, such a man must exercise unusual in fluence on foreign affairs. General opinion, he thought. was with the new premier. Bonar Law. in his declara- tion that the work of the foreign of- flee. which is largely expert. must be done by the department Itself.
 All that the foreign office asks" declared Lord Curzon, Ifs that 1t should not be interfered with by ire sponsible amateurism, however bril- liant it may be-"
 "The foreign policy now" he added 'is the foreign policy of the British empire. I lay the cardinal principle that peace can only be recovered by the common action of the principal allies who achieved the victory in the war"
 In another part of his address, dealing with allied solidarity. he said:
 You will only settle the repara- tions and Near East uestions if France, Great Britain ana Italy act loyalty toward each other. and with each other. What we ought to do is get back to the condition of mu- tual esteem and regard which ex- isted before the war between France and ourselves. The resuscita tion of that is much more important than any written document. or signed pact"

Republican casualties which broke with the first returns yesterday, de- feating Governor Miller and Senator Calder of New York, continued with somewhat lessened force today as re- turns dribbled in. They told of fur ther republican losses in the Senate and House and governors and state legislatures although the belated congressional results were some what more favorable to the repub- licans.
 Among the additional republican stalwarts who went down to defeat definitely today on additional returns were: ScnatoSs Kellogg of Minne- sota, beaten by pr. Hendrick Ship stead farmer-laborite; Senator Suth- erland of West Virginia. and Senator Townsend of Michigan. the latter losing to former Governor Wood bridge, the first democratic senator to be elected from Michigan in 70 years. Also definitely defeated by Senator Kendrick. democrat, was Representative Mondell of Wyoming, republican floor leader. who aspired to the Senate.
 Lodge Lead Bigger
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, 1t finally turn>-l out, had plurality of S.425 over his democratic opponent, Colonel Gaston. instead of 1,946 re- ported early today. Through trans position of figures in the Associated Press tabulation. Senator Lodges plurality was shown as being re- duced to 1,945, and other news dis tributing agencies in some manner arrived at the same figures.
 Loss of control of the Senate by the republicans was not threatened although they suffered a net loss of six. Eight republican senators were defeated, but this the party coun~ tered by defeating two democratic senators, Hitchcock of Nebraska. and Pomerene of Ohio. The republicans had carried II and democrats ls of the 35 senatorial contests. Of the five still in the balance democrats
 were leading in all--Montana. Utah, New Mexico, West Virginia and Wash- ington. In the latter the race be- tween Seaator Poindexter. repubai-
 can. and former Representative Dill, WAS SO close that 1t was thought an official count would be needed to fix
 the outcome Another recount fore- cast was In Texas, where republi- cans announced they would contest inc election of Earle R. Mayfield. democrat, who had Ku Klux Klan in dorsement, but this would be based on a claim of defective nomination rather than a question of the count
 of votes.
 Delay in the House result. because of the keen contest has not been paralleled since 1916. A number of
 missing districts are in far western
 states In others received today the early announcements were changed. The democrats continued their gains. totaling 67 seats at latest figures. principally from New York. Ohio,
 Missouri, New Jersey and Oklahoma. As against thls democratic sweep the republicans failed to unseat single
 sitting democrat.

EVERY COUNTY BUT THREE IN DEMOCRATIC COLUMN

Not only was the entire democratic state ticket swept into office along with the passage of the two consti- tutional amendments. but later re- turns from Tuesdays election show that counties long regarded as rock ribbed republican. flopped intos the democratic column.
 Among the counties which were struck by the democratic wave, which was evident all over the country. was Shelby county, which deserted the republican fold for the first time in 30 years. Franklin county for the first time since the Civil war, elected an entire demo- cratic ticket. Cullman county two years ago elected all republican can didate. but this time 1t lined up sol idly behind the democratic banner. Coosa, which had two republican of ficers. has returned solidly to the major party. St. Clair also switched in a similar manner.

November b.-Dlttl- = culty in selecting jury to try the men indicted in connection with the Herrin mine killings last June, was foreshadowed today when many or the 13O veniremen from which the jurors will be chosen offered ex- cuses for release. Attorneys on both sides believe the selection of the jury will require probably two or three weeks.
 Indictments against 41 of the 4s charged with having killed Howard Hollman. an employe of the Southern Illinois Coal company around whose mine the killings occurred were nolle pressed today when the eases were brought to trial. Objection to dropping the indictments was offered by A. w. Kerr, counsel for the de- fense who insisted that jury be selected and be instructed to return A verdict of mot guilty" against these 4s. The objection. however, was overruled.
 The defense made several unsuc- cessful attempts to forestall trial.
 The five men to stand trial for Heffman's death are: Otis Clark, the first man arrested during the grand jury investigation; Bert Grace, Peter Hitler, Joseph Carnagi. and Leva Mann, all of whom have been held without bond. excepting Carnagi. All but Hitler and Mann are miners

SENATOR REEDIS WITHOUT A PARTY,
 WILSON DECLARES
Former President Says Mis- souri Man Has Been Re- pudiated by Democrats.
 Replies to Supporters
Rr Associated rroa.

St. Louis, November s.-United States Senator James 4. Reed. who was reelected for his third term in the Senate in a democratic victory In Missouri yesterday, after having been repudiated by his party two years ago. Is "a man without party" ac- cording to letter from former President Woodrow Wilson which was made public here today.
 The letter, dated october 27, 10 days before the election, was ad dressed to former Governor Lon V. Stephens and stated that if Reed should be elected he would be in the Senate, "repudiated by the demo- crats and elected above their own man by republican votes"
 The letter was not made public dur Ing the campaign and served as a reply to one to the former President by Governor Stephens. 1t was pointed out by Governor Stephens in his let ter to the former President that the result of the primary showed clearly that a large majority of democrats of Missouri are with you. indorse your politics and favor the League of Na- tions."
 It was written with the thought of informing President Wilson of the outcome of the primary.
 Wilson's Letter
 MT. Wilson's letter:
 My Dear Governor Stephens: am sincerely obliged to you for your letter of October 21. I know how en- tlrely competent you are to assess the true situation in Missouri, and value accordingly the carefully con sidered information conveyed in your letter.
 "I do not think that I ought to at tempt any advice as to the election. am too far away from what I may call the interior conditions of the sit uation. l feel. besides, that leaders like yourself can be confidently counted upon to guide the loyal democrats of Missouri to the right course of action.
 If Reed Is returned to the Senate he will. of course. be there a man without a party repudiated by demo- crats and-s elected above their own man by republican votes. l should think the usual organization of the Senate would be rendered quite im- possible.
 With cordial greetings to all true democrats. who like yourself, uphold the real interests and best ideals of the party and of mankind. and with sincere personal regards. faithfully yours. WOODROW WILSON"
