The World War, Dec. 5-6, 1916—The British secretary of state for war, David Lloyd George resigned from the Cabinet, upon the refusal of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to delegate the conduct of the war to a committee of four, with himself as chairman. Many believed with him that it could not be prosecuted suc cessfully so long as policies were dic tated by a cabinet of 23 men. Asquith, whose name had been pointedly omitted from the proposed personney of the war committee, first assented, then refused. After all, it meant that Lloyd George should run the war and not himself. So Lloyd-George resigned, and his act caused the Asquith Liberal min istry to fall. The king sent for Bonar Law, the Unionist leader, to form a government. > v N. C.

At first glance his plan appeared to have nothing but bad points, like a porcu pine’s back. “The trouble with European na tions,” Dummy began, “is that they arc not satisfied with their own coun try, they want the other fellow’s too. Look at Mussolini, for instance.” “Well,” continued the sage of Sau erkraut Center, “II Duee thought he wanted Ethiopia. So. at big expense, he went out and grabbed it. And what did he get? Plenty of nothing, entirely surrounded by deserts. “Has this taught the other Euro pean statesmen anything? Can you teach an aged airedale to play the xylophone? The answer is ‘No’, from every angle. “Therefore, to teach the ambitious boys across the big pond a lesson why not, peaceable, give each what he wants. Let the Germans have France and give the French Ger many, for instance. “In two weeks’ time the transplant ed Frog would be so homesick for his beloved Eiffel tower that all the beer stubes in Berlin couldn’t console him. “In less time than that the yen of Hans und Fritz for some homegrown mitt potato pancakes would be so terrific they’d sell their souls for a ticket home. “The railroad rare necessary for this shuttling back and forth would be terrific but what’s a 100 million round-trip tickets if it means eternal world peace?” THE MYSTIC MAZE!
