Lloyd George Defends Turk Peace Terms ? ???? Replying to Asquith, He Declares Delay Was Due to U. S. Hesitation Over Accepting a Mandate Gives Advice to Armenia Says It Is Time She Defend? ed Herself; She Could Raise Army of 40,000 LONDON, March 25. ?Replying to criticism of the government's foreign policy by Herbert H. Asquith, member of the House for Paisley, Premier Lloyd George this afternoon gave a de? tailed explanation of the Turkish set? tlement. The Premier said it would have been a blunder to have settled the Turkish problem without giving the United States the most ample opportunity to decide whether it would accept a man? date, because it would have given ris? to suspicions that Great Britain and France were taking advantage of the political dissensions in the United States to divide the whole of Turkey between themselves. "It was only when America definitely refused the mandate that we proceeded without her," Mr. Lloyd George de? clared. Can't Send Army to Armenia The Premier said the proposal to oust the Sultan had been rejected as inadequate, because it left the question of the government of Constantinople undecided, and the Allies were anxious to avoid the expense and responsibility of the administration of Constanti? nople. With regard to Armenia, the Premier continued, France would have been willing to hand Cilicia to the United States if the latter had accepted the mandate. "Up to the present we have received only requests from America to pro? tect Armenia, without any offer to as? sume responsibility," Mr. Lloyd George said. "We hope France will undertake the responsibility, but it is much to ask, considering all the burdens France already has." The Premier contended that it was impossible for England to send armies to keep order in Armenia and Asia ?Minor. England would do her utmost to exert pressure in Constantinople to obtain good treatment for Christians, he asserted, but was unable to accept a wider responsibility. Would Help Armenia to Arm The Armenians are an exceptionally intelligent people and must begin to de? pend on themselves for the protection of their independence, Mr. Lloyd George said, adding that he understood they could easily raise an army of 40,000 r.ien. Great Britain would be willing to supply equipment and officers for their training. If that were done they could defend themselves against the Turks, the Premier declared. Referring to Central Europe, Mr. Lloyd George said: "If Germany would perform her part of the treaty by volunteering to state what amount of reparations she is able to pay, and if she can prove the im? possibility of paying unless she first secures raw materials, I do not believe either Belgium or France will stand in the way of her obtaining the necessary credits. But there must be a definite indication that she intends to discharge her liabilities." Man Perishes Near Stills When firemen had extinguished the flames in the upper part of a three story brick building at 32 Hamilton Street yesterday morning they found the charred body of a man identified by the police as John Guarino, thirty six years old, of 28 Hamilton Street, lying near two still? and fifty-seven barrels of mash, on the third floor.

S. Will Finally Rati? fy the Rejected Treaty . PARIS, March 26.?A bitter attack upon Premier Lloyd George, of Great Britain, was delivered In the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon by Jean Louis Barthou, the former Premior, in connection with tho discussion of France's foreign policy. M. Barthou declared that the British Premier was in agreement with the Allies in the sending of Btern notes to Germany, and that he had been politi cially benefitted in England from a vigorous policy toward Germany. How? ever, M. Bartnou added, "when these , stern notes were ?sent to Germany they ' bore the signatures of Clemenceau or Millerand, while when concessions were allowed Germany tho notes were signed by Mr. Lloyd George. Thus France is left alone facing Germany as the country toward which Germany must prepare her revenge." M. Barthou said he would speak openly and frankly to the friends and allies of France. He referred to the difficulties that had been met by France | among her friends and allies in the j application of the peace treaty. j France Seeks Restitution "France," he declared, "cannot re? main in a position of inferiority toward the other free nations. She has uoth ing to hide of her policies, projects or j aims. France is net a militaristic na-1 tion. There is no military dictatorship in France. She desires no conquests, but she asks restitution." M. Barthou advocated the resumption of relations with Russia, sayincr that all the neighboring countries had re? sumed or were preparing to resume such relations and that Italy's stand along this line was being supported by Great Britain. ?'Great Britan knows how to defend her interests," added the ex-Premier. "France is still strong enough to de? fend hers with her allies if they agres, and without them if they withdraw." The declaration of M. Barthou that ' France was not a militaristic nation j was taken as a reply to the recent j letter of President Wilson to Senator Hitchcock. "I have confidence," M. Barthou con- | tinued, "that the United States will finally ratify the peace treaty which is rejected to-day. The United States one day will take its place in the league '? of nations, but, meanwhile, the treaty j which guarantees England, the United i States and France is a dead letter, j England has obtained its security by the destruction of the German fleet, but France stands alone." Likened to Caillant While M. Barthou was attacking Great Britain some one on the extreme right shouted, "You speak like Oail laux!" [Former Premier Caillaux is or? | trial before the High Court charged | with treason.J In addition to the attack upon Pre ; mier Lloyd Geoi'ge and advocacy of ' j the resumption of relations with the j soviet government, the outstanding | features of the speech was the Deputy's insistence upon the. strict application : of the peace treaty and the pursuance. ; of a hands-off policy toward Germany, ' so far as a choice of a government for ' herself was ccnceriied. It had been forecast that M. Bar- | thou's interpellation of the government : on its foreign policy, in pursuance of j which he delivered his speech, would I be of a "friendly" nature. After hear- i ing the Deputy's lengthy address, how- ! ever, Deputies and spectators alike , were confessedly puzzled as to the mo? tives which inspired it. The question ??.vas raised by some whether it tnigh. not have been a maneuver o? evolution by the Deputy toward the parties of the Left, with the assistance of which ; | M. Barthou, according to reports which ? have been openly circulated in the Chamber, hopes to govern the country in the near future. I $300,000 for a Girls' Home Given by John D.

Barrel Mystery Agitates Perth Amboy;4Men Held Containers Disappear and Offi? cers Want to Know ii They Held Whisky or Vinegar Four men, one of them a police de? tective, were arrested yesterday in Perth Amboy in connection with a bar? rel mystery, and a general clean-up of the city was ordered by the County Prosecutor. The mystery is whether the barrels contained whisky or vino gar and where they are now. The prisoners aro Detective William T. Hartmann, nephew of United States Marshal BoUschweiler; Andrew Gadek, Stephen N. Vcreb and Joseph Branbert. They are accused of robbery by John Moritko. Moritko declares that he was driving along a dark and unfrequented road with three barrels of?well, of vinegar, Moritko says?when four high? waymen stopped him and stole $32. Moritko is said to have led two pa? trolmen later to a deserted barn in which he had concealed the three bar? rels. The patrolmen reported the rob? bery, though one of them now declares he saw no barrels. The next day Moritko ask.ed Mayor Frank Dorsey for a pistol permit, say? ing that things had come to pass where a man couldn't take three barrels of vinegar for a ride without being held up, and the Mayor instituted an in? vestigation which culminated to-day in the four arrests. ? Held in Bellevue by Force, Says Mrs. Thorne Mrs. Mary Casey Thorne, who is suing Dr. Seth M. Milliken for $200,000 on the allegation that he took her to the psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital, where she was restrained for six days, put in a straitjacket and otherwise subjected to indignities, tes? tified in the Supreme Court yesterday. Mrs. Thorne, wife of Joel Wolf Thorne, son and heir of a millionaire banker, from whom she is receiving 750 a month alimony pending her suit or a separation, contradicted the statement made by counsel for Dr. Milliken in opening his case. The at? torney said the physician was per? forming an operation at Lincoln Hos? pital at the hour Mrs. Thorne says he and a nurse took her in the. physi? cian's automobile to Bellevue Hospital. She repeated her story to that effect ye&terday, the contention of Dr. Milli? ken being that the plaintiff expressed a preference to go to the hospital in an ambulance which she personally called for by telephone. Mrs. Thorne testified that Dr. Milli? ken first took her in his car to a sana? torium on Central Park West, saying she needed a rest. The person in charge there refused to accept her as a patient because he regarded her as a woman "in her sane, sober senses," and did not want to invite a suit for damages. Then, according to Mrs. Thorne, Dr. Milliken suggested that she go to Bellevue Hospital. "I know you have heard terrible things of Bellevue," the witness quoted Dr. Milliken as saying, "but it is a splen did place, an ideal place, where you get rest and care." Arrived ? at Bellevue, Mrs. Thorne said she did not like the appearance of the place. She added that she was compelled to don the institution cloth iri". und later she, was placed in a straitjacket. She was released after six days on a writ of habeas corpus. Mrs. Thorne will be cross-examined to? day._ Employees* of King George Ask 8-Hour Day, More Pay LONDON, March 25..The. employees on the King's estates in Scotland, in? cluding Balmoral Castle, are demand? ing an eight-hour day and a raise in wager, to ?3 weekly.

Slayer Near Lynching A quarrel between two workers at Seventy-seventh?, Street and the Hud? son River yesterday resulted in the death of one and a near lynching of the other.

The men exchanged blows and Veteo was knocked under a motor truck driven hy Samuel Abbateaulo, of 97 Carter Street, Elmhurst. The truck passed over Veteo, and he was dead before the arrival of Dr. Zurich, of Knickerbocker Hospital. The Italian workers made for Neal and chased him down Riverside Drive to Seventy-sec? ond Street and through to Broadway. By that time 500 persons had joined in the pursuit, and, when Neai Unally was captured, at Seventy-first Street and Broadway, he was roughly han? dled by the mob. Detectives Golding and Leonard rescued the negro and arrested him on a charge of homicide. Six other per? sons were held as material witnesses. Caillanx^s Defense Heard PARIS.

Hylan Blames School Politicians for Delay Teachers Would Have Received Increases if City Had Been Left Alone, He Says "If the Board of Estimate had it? way we would long since have worked out a plan by which we would have given tho over-supervised teachers im? mediate and substantial increases," Mayor Hylan told 1.500 persons in the Bushwick High School, Brooklyn, yes? terday. "Tho school politicians, however, continued Mr. Hylan, "havle caused their followers to ignore the municipal authorities, with the result that the legislation enacted generally proved profitable only to the few higher np in tho school system who were already highly paid." In describing the Lockwood-Donohue bill, raising the pay of teachers, the Mayor said he was making tbe ex? planation so that the rent payer would understand that while he was endeavor? ing to stop gouging landlords from raising rents, mandatory legislation was being passed in Albany which placed millions of dollars in taxes on the backs of the property owner and rent paver of the city. ?le said that he hoped before any more mandatory legislation was passed that a thorough investigation of the school system in the state would be made, and that a report would be re? turned to the Legislature on the amount of money spent for propaganda for salary increases. -?
