FOREIGNERS AT TORREON
FLEE FOR THE BORDER
British Consul Aids Them to Escape
as Villas Army Ap-
proaches.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, December III
An unofficial report from Eagle Pass,
Tex, is to the effect that British Con-
SUI OHea has departed from Torreon
With two trains carrying all the Ameri-
cans and other foreigners. The report
says they left Torreon for the south,
hoping to reach Zacatecas, thence to
make their way to San Luis Potosi, and
to the border through Monterey.
Before communication was cut south
of Piedras Negras, messages from Con-
sui O'Hea stated he had been success
| ful, at the behest of instructions from
Washington, in persuading all the for
Observation-Disclosures, Germans and Eng
lish-to leave.
1t is believed at the border that Villa
has by this time entered TorreOn.
American officials had no communca-
ton beyond Paredon. Great concern is
felt for the 800 Chinese in the Torreon
Chinese, and il is feared there will be
repetition of the massacre of four
years ago at Torreon. when hundreds
of Chinese were shot down.
Those closely in touch with the situa-
ton, basing their belief upon the last
wire message to arrive, say that il is
probable Villa will gather large army
in the Iaguna district.

Hope to Better Record.

The work of the Fatherless Children Of
France was begun i'll America about a
year ago, and to date more than
$4,000 has been collected in Washing
ton. and 100000 throughout the coun-
try at large. 1t is the desire of those
in charge to better this splendid record
this year.
The name of the child adopted" will
be furnished, it is announced, and
through the medium of letters and
Photographs those who adopt the chill
dren may become acquainted, although
1t is not the desire of those in charge
of the work that the children be taken
away from France. Rather. it is deSir-
ed that the children grow up in the
land where their fathers died. Not
only does the committee thus plan to
aid the children themselves. but it is
believed that through the mutual
friendships which would be enGendered
between the children of the United
States and France a better interna-
tional understanding may come about.

In the view of the Vossische Zeitung
the reference to the moose is nothin g
more than recognition by England
Of Germany's strength and the failure
of the entente's military enterprises.
1t adds that not a single word of
Lloyd Georges speech indicates any
desire to repair the torn intercommunal
threads and asks why the entente
should stand SO stubbornly for resti-
tuition and reparation when it is highly
improbable that Alsace can ever be
conquered by France Constantinople
by Russia, and that it is even improba-
BILE If Germany can be driven out of
the conquered territory. The Eossische
contends that it is a fortunate thing
that Germany possesses miiitarism to
withstand the "entente's ambition to
reach Its world goal
The most significant sentence in the
Deutsche Tages Zeitung is Count Won
Reventlow's comment on Lloyd Georges s
reference to Napoleon. He says:

Vienna Expects Rejection.

AMSTERDAM. December 20. via Lon
don, December 21--Some of the Vienna
newspapers, commenting on the speech
of David Lloyd George, the British
premier. express the opinion that the
rejection of the peace offer of the
Teutonic allies by the entente allies is
virtually certain The Fredmenblatt
says:
after Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech the
continuation of the world war is in
evitable- Great Britain does not want
to end the war until her aim has been
attained. This aim Mr.. Lloyd George
designated by the dark word Repara-
ton He obviously demands repara-
tion for the fact that the central powers
dared defend themselves against world
enemies standing under England's com
mand. Fate viii now take its
course. and the day doubtless will come
when Mr.. Lloyd George shudderingly
wild recognize that England by reject
ing the peace offer has really stuck its
head into a moose with the rope in our

The Neue Freie presse, however,
thinks that Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech
still leaves open the possibility that
the question will lie put to the central
powers as to what proposals they have
to make and adds that the declaration
of the Italian foreign minister also JUS
titles this thought"
The Cologne Gazette says:
The language of the British prime
minister must not be taken too seri-
ously. We are taught this by some re-
Elections on English peace conclusions
in the past, such as that in which she
lost the United States and the peace OF
Amiens in 1902. There is a limit where
the blindest obstinacy finds itself con-
fronted with the Impossible, and this
limit is being brought nearer and near

bic contingency compelling England to
make peace would be the secession of
