Vorwaerts Attacks Lloyd George.


 Berlin, via London, Dec. 22, p a. m. The Vorwaerts which was one of the first newspapers in Germany to talk of peace, expresses deep disappoint- ment over the speech of Premier David Lloyd George. The paper cites passages in the speech from what it claims the only inference is that, firstly, the entente refuses to make peace until it can do so upon the ruins of Germany's military power; secondly the entente. because Ger many breaks treaties, will make no treaty with Germany at all but will, itself, take substantial guarantees by force of arms: thirdly. that Germany must swallow the entente's terms whole ana unseen before Lloyd George will condescend to negotiate.
 Lloyd George, says the Vorwaerts, speaks like a judge in robes thunder ing a sentence against a poor sinner. It also compares him to a superman and to employers who, during a strike, demand that the workmen re- sume work unconditionally. The Vor- waerts sees everywhere in the lan- cuage of the speech a stern rejection of Germany's offer to negotiate and hence it concludes that Lloyd George is illogical in finally saying that the entente must wait until it hears Ger manys terms.

FIVE MISSED AFTER MASONIC HOME FIRE Children and Women Are Believed
 to Be in Ruins CRIPPLES AMONG DEAD
No Way of Checking Inmates as Rec ords Are Dcstroyed--Property Dam- Mains Frozen.

Wichita, Kas, Dec 22.-At least five persons are believed to have lost their lives and several are missing or suffering from injuries as the result of a fire that destroyed the main building of the aKnsas Masonic home here early today
 Ninety-two persons were in the building when the fire broke out and firemen directed their efforts to res- cuing them.
 The fire, which originated in the furnace room, got beyond control be- fore water could be turned on it, due to the frozen water mains. The home was thrown in darkness when the fire was first discovered, an attend ant pulling a switch to shut off the supply of fuel oil to the furnace.
 On the third floor of the structure, built in the form of a key, the chil- dren were sleeping. Their rooms were filled with smoke and firemen found many unconscious. The res cuers were driven out by flames and they fear that at least eight children were left in the buildings.
 The fire started under one of the wings and worked it's way forward to the main building, leaping across the court and taking the other wings.
 The main building was of three stories and the two wings that pro- jected to the west were two stories. The north wing was the women's de- partner and it was under this that the fire started
 Two crippled women have not been accounted for. Their room was di- rectly under a stairway that fell.
 Records of Home Destroyed.
 All the men were saved. The rec ords of the home were destroyed and D. P. Rurdick, superintendent, stated he had no way of checking the list of survivors with the register of in- mates. Ten of the inmates were talk en to a hospital suffering from ex- posture, burns and the effects of in haling smoke.
 Colonel Thomas G. Fitch, member of the Kansas Masonic home board of trustees said he did not believe there were any bodies in the ruins.
 We are positive all the children were taken out" said MT. Fitch, land we now believe there was no loss of life among the aged inmates"
 The property was completely de- stroyed with the exception of the chapel and hospital, both small build ings. The loss is said to be $25O,- 900.
 Bremen, however, believe at least one person lost his life in the fire. A fireman, when driven from one of the buildings by the flames, was trying to rescue a partly paralyzed man who had sought refuge under a bed. T. was impossible to reach him and the firemen are certain the man perished.
