fact that two extensive biographies of
him are now in course OF publication, be-
sides two or more smaller popular biogra-

reached his nftieth year last month.
One volume of one of the large biog-
raphles has been received from the press
and in 1t the author describes the chan
cellor as 1.-The ideal OF the British democ-
racy.
Lloyd George possesses the gift OF elo-
quence to a remarkable degree. On two
occasions recently in the house of COM
