LLOYD GEORGE is
PLEASED WITH house

London, Dec. 15.-When a corre-
spondent of the Associated Press call
ed on Premier Lloyd George with the
news of the arrival in America of the
House mission, the premier authoriz-
ed the following statement;
II am very glad to learn Of the re-
turn of the first great American mis-
sion to Europe. | say first because
hope it will be the prelude to many
more, for the experience we have
gained on this occasion has brought
home to me even more strongly than
before the paramount Importance CT
even closer and more constant asso-
cation between the United States,
the free democracies Of Europe and
the nations of the British common
wealth, not only in the prosecution
CT the war but in future contact in the
worlds affairs. The mission which
has thus successfully terminated its
labors was, so far as we are con-
cerned, an unqualified success. It
did not receive great deal of adver-
tisement at the time, because Colonel
House was rightly. insistent that it
was to be, first and last, business
affair.
But the fruits of its labors will be
seen by all in time to- come. 1t not

Petrograd, Dec, 15.-Former En-
peror Nicholas of Russia has escaped
from his confinement at Tobolsk, ac-
cording to a dispatch received today
at the Smolny institute, Bolsheviki
headquarters. A special train manned
by sailors has been dispatched from
Petrograd for the pursuit of the for
mer emperor.
The American consul at Tiflis, in
the Russian Caucasus, recently sent
a report which was received in Wash
ington December 5, stating a rumor
was in circulation that former En-
peror Nicholas had escaped. The
message made it clear that there was
no confirmation and there had been
nothing since received confirmatory
OF the report until the Petroggad adj
vices today.
Tobolsk is in Siberia, about $500
miles east of Moscow For some time
after the outbreak of the revolution
and the monarch's deposition he, with
his family, was confined to the royal
palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. August 10,
however, the Russian provisional
government announced he had been
transferred to Tobolsk, with the mem.
bers of his family and his suite. AT
first he was quartered in the COVER
nor's palace in the town of Tolsk out
october II it was given out that he
and his family had been transferred
to a monastery about twenty miles
outside.
Shortly after the recent escape of
General Korniloff and almost concur
rently with the rumor from Tiflts
that Nicholas Romaroff, as the ,em
peror has been known since he was
deposed, had affected his escape, one
of the Bolsheviki government organs
in Petrograd announced that several
detachments OF sailors of the red
guard had been sent to Tobolsk 10
guard him.
One of the many rumors that were
current at about the time the riflis
report was in circulation reached
London by way of Zurich and was to
the effect that Nicholas hal made his
way out of Siberia through Harbin
and had arrived in Japan. The route
through Harbin was regarded as the
most natural one for him to take and
this may have given rise to the rumor
that he actually had travelled this road
out of fis former domain. The diff
culties ir his way, however, were rec
ognized, as Tobolska is 1000 miles
from the Pacific coast and 1000 miles
from the Chinese border
On the other hand there were IN
confirmed reports in November of a
political overturn in Siberia which had
made the vast province land frteni'
| ly to the former ruler. The report
which came through Finland. said
Siberia had declared its independence
and had proclaimed Nicholas 'ts
emperor.

Norwegian Relief Ship Changed
Course and Rammed Mont Blanc;
Signal Not Given by Pilot Hayes

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 15.-The signals
given by the steamer Imo just before
she crashed into the French NUM-
tions steamer Mont Blanc. causing an
explosion which wrecked the northern
section of this city, were not given by
Pilot Hayes, in charge of the Belgium
relief ship, according to the firm be-
lief Of Francis Mckay, pilot on the
Mont Blanc, expressed in his testi-
mony at the government inquiry into
the disaster today. Hayes, who was
killed in the explosion. was a careful
and experienced pilot, Mckay said,
and would not have given the orders
which Mckay asserted sent the Imo
crashing into the munitions vessel.
Describing the signals that passed
between the two steamers, Mckay
said his object was to get both craft
into parallel positions. Suddenly, he
testified. the limo blew two blasts
when she seemed to be moving to

starboard. Five seconds later. he
said he saw her throw a wake from
the starboard quarter Of the propeller
and she swung quickly to starboard
into the course of the Mont Blanc. AS
the limo was travelling at good
speed there was no alternative, Nc
Kay testified, but for the Mont Blanc
to 60 full speed astern, and he so or
dered. But so quick had been the
Imos maneuvers, he said, that the
order was too late. He was thrown
to the deck by the force of the COLI
sion, he stated, but there was no con-
fusion on board his ship and there
was no misunderstanding Of orders.
When the crew Of the Mont Blanc
took to the boats, at his suggestion
they headed for the Dartmouth shore
away from the impending explosion.
II did not occur to him, Pilot Mckay
said, to telephone to the city of the
impending danger.
At this point the court adjourned.

The Russo-German peace negotia-

German official announcement says
the conditions and draft of a treaty"
have been formulated, the discussion
having been put over from Friday to
Saturday, however as the Russian
delegates desired to obtain supple
mental instructions from their gov
ernment. Whether the word treaty"
refers to a formal peace treaty or
merely to the armistice agreement
that had been pending is not clear
from the German announcement
Hard Figh ing i'm Italy.
The ltalion front remains the only
major field of military operations in
which there is more than local activi-
ty on the part of the infantry. The
Italian line, although almost cease
lessly assailed in the mountain re-
gions, still is intact and holding well
except for small recession here and
there forced at the cost of extremely
heavy casualties on the part of the
Austro German invaders. Berlin
claims the taking of more than 5000
| prisoners in the fighting of the last
few days and the repulse of Italian
counter-attacks on positions won by
| the Teutons.
German Thrusts Continue.
The Franco Belgian front is mac
tive except for local fighting mostly
due to German thrusts here and there
delivered with the seeming intention
of keeping the Anglo French COM
mand guessing as to the enemy in
tentions. In Palestine the British
have scored further advance north
