In lfhtt he book the aristocracy of Eng'nnd with the most terrific blow :hnt had I .in alined against It in centuries and opened a new era In the fiscal history of Great Britain. ' The government faced a deficit of S75.000.OO0 In the budget, and Lloyd George advanced the unheard of propo sition that this should b raised by further taxation of the property of the wealthy, His bill was directed espe cially against the lords uf vast domains, who had rejoiced until then in t lie un earned increment of land. The privileged lasses (fpposod him bitterly from the ttrst. The enmbnt led to a great constitutional light between tlie houses of commons and lords, and Lloyd - George drove his measure through by limiting the veto powers of the peers. This conllict over, lie threw himself into others. By the time, the wur cloud darkened he had : passed u workers' Insurance act and an old age pension scheme. Then cume war. t'mler Its hammer ill the last two years many of the for mer Idols of Britain have cracked and crumbled. Lloyd-George whs never an Idol with the English people. He was radical and disturbing', and as a nation they suss-(ted him. But he alone throughout the terrible ordeal in which tho empire Is being proved has neither flinched nor proved himself unworthy of the trust imposed upon him. England needed money, and Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, quietly shouldered the vusf responsi bility of raising that money. He set to his task and provided for the first of the great loans that were flouted to meet .Britain's.' war" cost lie, the man who had formerly been opposed to great military expenditures on the part of his country. Then came British defeat and charges 'against Lord Kitchener. The army .needed, high explosive shells; It had none, It needed vast quantities of ammunition ; It was receiving only drib lets. Britain turned to Lloyd-George. Ho was made minister of munitions. A special munitions bill was passed, giving the government' .control--over all factories. Strikes and lockouts were made illegal, profits to employ ers were limited, and slackers were fined. The fuctorles were ready, but the workers were Blow to volunteer until Lloyd-George gave their -leaders just seven days to furnish men for the plants. He got h's men. Drinking was found to be an evil among tho workers. Lloyd-George stamped that out. Then the Hampshire was stink In the North sea, and the head und hope Of England's armies went to the bottom with her. Lord Kitchener, "organizer of victory," Was gone, and Britain turn ed to Lloyd-George to take his place. On June 0 of this year he became min ister for wur. Under his administra tion tho deadlock on the western front was broken for ; a time at least. Through the placing of a civilian -on her high seat of war England thought she suw faint glimmerings of victory.'.- U. S. TO GET GIANT FOREST. Monsy Appropriated Tor Tract In Heart of Sequoia Park. Giant forest, the privately owned tract of the world's largest trees In the heart of Sequoia National park, Is about to pass into the hands of the governniunt through co-ojeratlon be tween the Interior department and the National Geographic society.
