Tha- so-called "fall of Lloyd
George" ia more like the sidestepping
sf Lloyd George. It might hove boon
a fall, bat for hi* fast foot-wort. B«
is probably the last of aa lirtsnmadi
ats type of statesman who are more
noted for their movement than far
their achievement. Roosevelt was of
that typo, though RaoaovaW loft bo

Lloyd George can do. It ia impoasibi#
to connect George's name with any
great oatstaading wort al ill limes u

to forget the Old Contemptible* and
say “ha won tbs war.” Lloyd Georgs

volubility hypnotised them. But when
Briton saw the yawning gulf of a
Mohammedan war at their eery feet,
they awoke with a start, the voice of
popular authority rang out and broke
the spell of Georgian hypnoUem. And;
then the premier played hi* big card 1
—he resigned. But Britain goes on.
The resignation itself may bo only
a move in the game. In America, its
significance is easily misunderstood.
The situation may be eta led briefly:
Uoyd George owed his suprenmey to
a coalition between British parties;
that is, the British people agreed to
forget panics during the war. It was
the same spirit which in America
pnd Germany punished, and the per
dropped partisanship during the war.
in the ordinary course, the Coalition
would have dissolved immediately the
*sr was ended. But it was just there
that Lloyd Ceorgs's world-thrilling
activitiae began. He Mioutod far and
