No favoritism Is met with in the Allied armies in the matter of the distribution of decorations for heroism. Courageous action by a Hindu cr African receives the same recognition as if by an Englishman or a Frenchman. This is a picture of Captain Abkar, an Indian officer of the Fritish army, leaving Buckingham Palace, after being decorated by King George for heroism in battle. The captain was seriously injured. After leaving the hospital in London he was summoned by the King. One of his eyes Is still bandaged.

GERMAN PRESS RESENTS TALK OF REPARATION

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 20, via London Commenting on Premier Lloyd George's speech, the "Taegliche Rundschau" of Berlin says: "Reparation could be demanded by England only if Germany had declined war on England, if we were to blame for the war, if we had committed crimes against international law and If we had been defeated." The "Local Anzeiger" takes the viewpoint that Mr. Lloyd George's remarks about reparation are of no ralue, inasmuch as nothing has been laid thus far about peace conditions. This newspaper continues: Means Eternal War "If Lloyd George means to postpone latlsfying Europe's desire for peace antil the time when the Entente is successful in conquering Germany's irmies and those of her allies, then the whole of Europe, as well as Lloyd Seorge, knows full well that this announcement means eternal war, unless it is the power of the German :omniand to bring it to an earlier termination than Lloyd George supposes. The "Tageblatt" says it prefers to twalt the promised reply of the Entente, adding: "For the present it appears that the gulf is very great between Lloyd Seorge's standpoint and that described from the German side as the basis .'or peace." The following is from the socialist newspaper "Vorwaerts": "Lloyd jporgo says that whoever wantonly prolongs the war will have a crime upon his soul. Do not these words imply strong self-condemnation, if England rejects the negotiations offered by the Central Towers?"
