ranged BY Joint Cemmis-
sion Net Yet Annsslced

Philadelphia, Dec. 18.--Carranza's Is
decision regarding the border pro-
tocol signed at Atlantic City, was still
unrevealed this afternoon. Alberto
J. Pani. who presented this document
to the first chief, occupied the entire
morning session In making . verbal
report OF his interview with Carranza
at Queretaro, to the American and
Mexican commissioners. He offered
no written document from Carranxa.
The joint session adjourned at
noon and the American commission
ers went into secret conference short
ly afterward. The joint meeting will
resume at 3 o'clock.
Neither side would diyulge the
nature of his statement Only in
ferences can be drawn from the fact
that he offered no written report.
It Is said that Secretary Lane will
not see J. ]. Raves. the villa repre-
sentative. who arrived here from New
York today.

First Chief Carranza will institute
an Investigation into the conduct ol
General Murgia for his failure ia
come to the relief or chihuahua City
several weeks ago. General Trevino
left here last night en- route to Mex
leo City for a conference with Pres.
ident Carranxa.
Trevino denied that his action In
evacuating the city has been criti.
cized by the Mexican administration
and stated that lack Of ammunition
and fear for the safety OF non-com'
batants caused his abandonment ol
the northern capital.
According to Trevino's statements
Murgia stayed six days at Santa Ro-
salia and although within 25 miles
Of chihuahua CITY when the attack
began. he failed to come to the aid
Of the garrison.
Because OF the need OF rolling
stock for troop movements General
Murgia, Carransista commander al
chihuahua City, has ordered all pas
senger trains discontinued to and
from Chihuahua City.

Restoration Of
BELGIUM MUST
CONE WITH Peace

States ofIicials are convinced today
there can be no formal discussion OF
peace until Germany and Austria
avow their willingness to restore Bel
gium and Serbia. and until all ma
tions involved are ready to disarm
on q rather large scale.
In his forthcoming speech. Prem
Ter Lloyd George Of England. IL ex-
pected to insist on such terms and .
fundamental groundwork for any
formal parieys and such action ON
his part would serve to pass the
buck" back to Germany.
Moreover officials believe he will
culssne fully what the allies are fight
ing for. but in no circumstances will
he voice a scornful or fiat rejection
Of the German offers.
The United Press is in a position
today to give a dttailed outline Of
his governments convictions on the
several angles OF peace developments.
They are:
II is believed Germany offered
peace because her people were be-
coming restive: 1t il believed the
people OF all countries want peace
America included--so long as there
is no sacrifice Of the principles for
which the fighting has been going
ON.
This government is convinced there
can be no formal discussion Of peace
unless such discussion carries an
avowed willingness Of Germany and
Austria to restore France. Belgium
and Serbia.
There can be no peace without as-
snrances Of disarmament ON . large
scale IN all countries with some plan
for alliance Of nations to prevent
future wars.
No reason is seen why Lloyd
George. when he addresses the COM
mons should fail to outline the gen.
eral peae terms OF the allies.
Unequivocal rejection OF the Ger
man proffer would Immediately reacs
to England's disadvantage in neutral
coantries. II Is believed.
It would also result in embittering
the German people to the point where
they would unite even more solidly
than ever behind the government, the
|fc-m OF which England desires to des-
troy.
The German people would then be
convinced the allied war ON them
was one against their existence. and
would fight to the death.
As a result OF these convictions.
this government believes Lloyd
George may say what England and
her allies regard as necessary to
make peace possible. Should he do
this. the belief is strong that Ger
many might be forced by her own
people to acquiesce to such terms as
do not threaten her existence.
On the other hand, should the Brit
ish premier stand by his recent dec
laration. that the war must go on
ito knockout" little hope Of peace
is seen and every possibility Of grave
danger to his country's friendly re-
lations with the Teutonic powers.
