Berlin, via London, Dec. 21.-The c Berlin press whith commented only fragmentarily on Premier Lloyd Georges speech this morning becau only excerpts were available now has the entire text and devoIes it full at tention to the subject The papers on a whole express little surprise at the British premiers attitude although most wonder why he believes that volve. the Eentente as placing it's head in 8 moose Lloyd Georges references to restitution and reparation are uni versally interpreted as an Entente de- mand that Germany surrender all Oc- cupied territory and pay an indem- nifty. The Tageblatt says:
 "Lloyd George is not willing to negotiate or willing only in case that Germany will submit to England's S ances regarding restitution, repara- ton and guarantee. This makes the gulf from the German standpOintS so broad that not even most careful Op- tmism can find a way to bridge it.. Lloyd George, in stipulating the ac- ceptance of his conditions before the opening of negotiations showed that he does not wish to negotiate"

San Antonio, Dec. 21.--An unoffi- cial report from Eagle Pass, Texas, today was to the effect that the Brit ish consul arrived from Torreon, with two trains carrying all the Americans and other foreigners.
 Messages from the consul stated he had been successful, on instruc- tions from Washington, in persuading all the foreigners, Americans, Ger mans and others, to leave.
 Great concern is felt for the 500 Chinese in the Torreon district. It was impossible to move the Chinese and it is feared there will be a repeti- tion of the massacre of four years ago at Torreon, when hundreds of Chinese were shot down.
 These closely in touch with the sit uation passing their belief upon last wire messages to arrive say that it is probable Villa will gather large l army in the Laguna district.

months ago President Wilson spd most earnestly before the league enforce peace. of his hope that q United States would join in some nI interest arrangements but not ur' now has he made the proposal oI cially to the nations of the world.
 It is thought here that along th{ lines President Wilson's note VI find its most ready reception abroJ for all the parties have indica{ their belief that war will have bd in vain unless from it come guard tees against it's repetition. Form foreign minister Sir Edward Grey England, premier Briand for FraiI and Chancellor Bethmann-H -HollJ for Germany have all committed thI nations to some sort of internatioj organiza ton. - May Mean Disarmament. AS yet, however, the actual pI cedurc which may be adopted is l certain. Germany, apparently, given up her earlier opposition to d armament, which nearly split the s| ond Hague conference. No offid statement has come from either Ed present circumstances. It was Ed land, however, at The Hague conf ence, seconded by France and United States, that insisted on statj it's view if in favor of disarmamcI
 Deepest interest centered todayl the probable time and form of belligerents' reply It is assunI that the members of each group,I allies will consult one another cj agree on a uniform statement views, but whether this statement VI be joint, identic or different in ed case Is not known. It is thou& sometime may elapse before the q ferent groups can settle down to actual agreement, on terms to be D sented.
 Meanwhile the Allied Ententc's sponse to the Central powers r posals are expected also any time transmission through this country their various destinations.
 President Wilson is relying II public opinion in other neutral natl to add force to his efforts to clar the situation. While e''-~the,--Amerlt government acted entirely on its o responsibility, President Wilson, fe that other neutral nations, economic reasons, are vitally int ested in the outcome.
 It was stated authoritatively tod that the president acted without assurances that his move would favorabIy received by the Ente Allies. He took the position, it said, however, that his note calls replies and that even though unfav able, the responses would tend make clear the objects of the be gerents and establish some comm ground.
 There is every indication that Prs dent Wilson is hopeful of the outld and believes the way has been opeI for negotiations.
 What steps he takes in the fut depends entirely upon the respon from tho belligerents. -
