EGLAND7S GREATEST STATESMAN REP0RTED SLAIN
C0MMONFR, DAVID LLOYD-GEORGE,
 REPORTED MURDERED

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-Brokers' prI- vate cabIegrams from London brought the report here today that David Lloyd.George, formerly chancellor of the exchequer, had been assassinated. No. confirmation had been received up until two o'clock this afternoon.
 David Lloyd-George was the son of non-conformist clergyman and was born in Wales. He was reared by his mothers brother, shoemaker, and rose to pre-eminence in the Brit ish Cabinet. on his own endeayor.
 Recently the Atlantic Monthly pub fish cd the following: 'If Mir. As- quIth Is the brain of the Cabinet, and Sir Edwrad Grey it's character. Mir. LlIoyd-George is it's inspiration. There is a magic of genius about this wayward, debonair Welshman, who. with nothing but his own native wit and dauntless courage has stormed the seats of the mighty and changed the whole current of British politics. All the forces of wealth. influence, socie- ty, and privilege have been mobilized for his suppression. for with true in- stinct they have seen in his agile mind, his far-reaching aims, and his unriyaled influence over the democra- cy. the supreme peril to the domin- ion of the aristocratic order in the sphere of public affairs. The secret of his unprecedented career Is not obscure. He is the first real expres- sion of the supremacy of democracy. Other men have interpreted democra- cy from without, phiIisophically, ob- actively; but here is one who comes hot from it's very heart, uttering it's thought in it's own language. No man of distinction ever carried less imped- iments, or was more free from the dominion of the past or other minds. If he wants to introduce a shipping bill he takes a voyage to study the life of the sailor at first hand. If he wants to know about coal-mining he goes uOWu III d COdl iuiucs II uC wants to know what is wrong with casual labor he mixes with the crowd at the delegates in the early morn ing to hear with his own ears and see with his own eyes. His first real passion is for the common people. He has no petty vanity; and though he does not go to the text books he goes to men. On every subject as 1t arises he gathers around him the best expert minds available; thrashes out the problems over the breakfast table, on tine golf links. in committee. everywhere, and with his easy access sibillty to ideas arrives at conclu- sions that are at once informed and practical"
 When the British Cabinet was re- organized two months ago. Lloyd George became Secretary of Muni- tlons, a new post made necessary by the wah. His place as chancellor was filled by Reginald McKenna.
