SUPPORT LLOYD GEORGE
British Press Endorses Premier's
Position on Peace Proposals.

Position on Peace Proposals.
London. Dec 20.--Premier Lloyd
Georges reply to Germanys peace
| proposals meets with a chorus of ap.
| prevail in the British press, and the
| general comment is that If Germany
| really wants peace she will, when the
! joint reply of the Allies is received,
state terms which can form basis of
discussion.
The Manchester Guardian says
Premier Lloyd-George has not shut
the door on peace with that Iesound-
| ing olang for which some OF his less
| balanced supporters in the press have
| been longing. He insists on the i'm
| possibility of accepting the German
invitation as it stands. In this he
was ably seconded by Mr. Asquith and
will be approved by the country
The German Chancellor
must be both more modest and more
explicit before he can expect any fay-
oorable answer to his invitation But
the real danger in the situation which
his offer created WAS that the Allies
this country in particular. might be
led into an abrupt and sweeping re-
fusal, not merely OF the actual invita-
ton hqt OF the proposal TO. discuss
peace terms This snare Lloyd
George has avoided"
The Guardian says that as the
speech invited Germany to be more,
explicit, 1--WE do not then cast out
every idea of settlement and the neu-
trail world cannot take exception of
this attitude"
The Guardian notes that the speech
contained no hint of the crushing of
Germany, but says discussion of any
matter is conditioned on restitution
In the truest form. it continues. rep
aration is impossible, for the deepest
wrongs cannot be undone.
Security we certainly require,
The Guardian continues. The best
security is the firm, unbroken front
OF the alliance, fortified when the war
ends by universal league to enforce
peace. In such league America
would play great part and her pres
ence alone would be no small securi.
ty.
Expressing the opinion that Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg will
admit on reflection that the proposals
of the Entente Allies outlined by Mr..
LlCyd-George formed a basis for dis.
cussion, The Guardian says:
There is in this as in all countries
at war great volume of opinion too
little vocal unfortunately in favor of
serious effort on the part of
Europe's statesmen to put an end to
the carnage which is destroying the
whole generation of the young"

well-known farmer Of Woodstock, was
found guilty of maintaining posters on
his land in violation of the fish and
game laws The penalty is not Sc
we're, being a fine of $40 for each ille-
gal poster, but the affair is of much
interest, being, it is understood, a
test case and so far as known here
the FIRST of the kind brought into the
courts Of the state
The defendant admitted maintaining
posters prohibiting fishing. long after
he had ceased stocking his brook, but
claimed that as they did not give the
date of stocking the waters, as the law
requires and were therefore ineifec-
tive, he was committing no oifeuse.
He was merely trying to scare people
away
His counsel. William Batchelder &
Son, gave notice OF motion for an
arrest of judgement which may be
heard today. The case may go to the

AS VIEWED IN BERLIN
Press Comments on Lloyd-George's
Peace Proposal Rejection.


Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 90
Commenting on Premier Lloyd
Georges speech, the Taeglche Rund-
schau of Berlin says
Preparation could be demanded by
England only if Germany had de-
olared war on England, if we were to
blame for the war. if we had commit
ted crimes against international law
and if we had been defeated"
The Lokal Anzeiger takes the view
point that Mr. Lloyd-Georges re-
marks about the reparation are of no
value, inasmuch as nothing has been
said thus far about peace conditions.
This newspaper continues
IF Lloyd-George means to post
pone satisfying Europe's desire for
peace until the time when the Entente
is successful in conquering Germany s
armies and those of her Allies, then
the whole Of Europe as well as Lloyd
George, knows full well that this an
ncuncement means eternal war UNI
less it is in the power of the German
command to bring it to an earlier
termination than Lloyd-George sup
poses
The Tageblatt says it prefers to
await the promised reply of the En-
tente, adding; For the present it
appears that the gulf is very great
between Lloyd-George's standpoint
and that described from the German
side as the basis for peace"

newspaper Vorwaerts.

wantonly prolongs the war will have a

This was made necessary by a law
pc ssed some time ago that gave cities
