"The World Wfcir did not produce a Stonewall Jackson** the former liriti*h premier solemnly admitted to Hear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,! who hr.s bt n acting a?' !:.? n..';!" iv-, er the Virginia battle fields. Lloyd George's visits to the civil war battlefields has emphasizd to th ?! A.niican public a fact which every. American officer and war correspon dent. thrown in touch with the high er command of the British lrmy. binned during the World War. fh.? B#ish Army has made much of the campaign of the American civil war. ..Although that conflict had faded 50 years into history when the fir^t gun of the World War was fired, the British army tried to take the teach-( ings of the Civil War into the n?v, and greater bdtlles before them. It was no part of the British mllitarv idea to judge the justice of either side in the Civil War. Tli? Brltis!.1 officer of today has studied the war between the states in retrospect. Ho. has recognized many able comman-j dtrs on all sides. But above all the commanders, in English estimation, stands Stonewall Jackson. Effortsi to interest Lloyd George in the ca-i reer and the work of Robert E. Lee1 have met with virtual failure, where as he has avidly absorbed every fact connected with Jackson. The former British prime minister, who had a larger share in the-Wght Ing of the world war than any other European statesman, marvels at the fact that so many houses that figured historically in the fighting of the Civil War still are standing today. . Time after.time lie has expressed his amazement to Admiral Grayson and has said that to him it illustrates the tremendous Increase in ferocity made in the methods of warfare j since the war between the states ended. Lloyd. George is an author ity on the battlefields of France. He has not merely studied them since the armistice. Ho visited them in the heat of the conflict. At times the British premier was but twenty four hours behind ? or ahead of the German army. He walked through villages which had been pounded into dust by the bom bardment and counter bombardment of the contending forces. He stood at times where he could see pink clouds of dust rising cyclonlcally to the skies as shell after shell of high explosive tore its way into the brick "milding of some French village. He saw every recognizable vestige of villa ge life swept remorselessly away. Then, coming to America. Lloyd George' has visited at Gettysburg, nt Fredericksburg and in the Wilderness ?lmlhtlims wblili snmd there during the terrible days of fighting on this side of the water. Like every other man who had contact with the World War. Lloyd George has been startled to see the small cannon and the lit tle solid round balls that were fired from them at the high water mark of the South's invasion of the North. Brought face io face with these relics one realizes that the Civil War was a battle of tactics; the world war a battle of weapons and mechanisms. In making comparisons between the Civil War and the World War .Mr. Lloyd George has marvelled at the fact that only 40.000 men were lost In the battle of Gettysburg in three days of fighting, wherea* more than 1.000.000 men were lost In the battle of the Somme, which lasted three months In the autumn of 1910. When his attention was called to the fact that 40.000 men lost In three days amounted to a groat many more than 1.000,000 lost in three months, the former premier replied that the 40,000 lost at Gett ysburg were decisive; whereas the million lost In the Somme became but an incident of the more than four years of fighting on the Wes tern Tront. It also has been argued with Lloyd George that there was no such "collective killing" If It might so be termed, in the World War as there was at Gettysburg; there was no' such close proximity of armies. The very terribleness of the weapons ust-d in the World War naturally: lengthened the distances between the main bodies of troops. Often in [ the World War the front line trench es were held by but a handful. In the later stages of the World War, the artillery was depended "irp-* on to open ujiNan all but unobstruct ed way for the Infantry. It is true, of course, that the World War nuns could Are a projectile far heavier than nn entire Civil War cannon and with a potential destructive force greater than a Civil .War 1?at t?-ry. >"? t tin* fact remains that it has been floured by the experts It took | an average of 10,000 shells In the World War to kill a man. In other words, the deaths measured against the amount of ammunition expend ed, built up that ratio. Lloyd George's object In compar ing the ferocity of the World \V?r with the simplicity of the weapons used In the Civil War. however, has been solely to argue against any wars in the future, and in this he has met an enthusiastic response wherever li? has gone In the United States. He will take back to Europe the inspiration of his stay among a peace-loving people. I I u a i. r\ ?

Made in llie ('urulinas YOU can easily measure the high motive power of "Standard,"the balanced gasoline,-with the proper apparatus.

If your engine is right, your switch on, and the choke out for a moment,"Standard" gives you instant start' ing, because it's balanced, which means that it has exactly the right proportion of lo-.v, quick-catching fractions that ignite instantly in the coldest motor.
