want to hear about the new English
government. I'll tell you about II
briefly.
Many Bnglishmen have been dis.
satisfied with the conduct of the war
so far. They have felt that the for.
mer cabinet was an excellent cabinet
for peace times. but not for war times.
Former Prime Minister Asquith was
an excellent diplomatist, but England
has wanted a man Of action In this
great crisis. She has apparently found
him in David Lloyd George"
Tell us who Mr. Lloyd George is"
Rsked Helen.
Lloyd George was an unknown
lawyer in Wales In 1890 when he
was thirty seven. he became a member
OF Parliament. Five years later he
entered the cabinet and when Asuuith
became Prime Minister in 1908, Lloyd
George became Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. When the war broke out,
he became Secretary of State for War
and in that office he has been one of
the most vigorous advocates OF a
strong, virile conduct of the war
Didn't he resign Just little while
ago as Secretary of State for WARP"
yes" replied Uncle Harry. "He
was dissatisfied with the slow and ap.
parently Indifferent way In which
England was conducting the war, and
resigned This caused a political up.
heaval which ended the Asquith min
istry. The King offered the Premier.
ship to Mr. A. Bonar Law, but MT
Law refused it. The King then asked
Lloyd George to act as Premier and
Lloyd George consented"
What was the first thing MT. Lloyd
George did?" asked Helen.

Uncle Harry Explains The New English Cabinet

"He selected his cabinet first OF all,
Snd In doing so he ignored all politi-
cal considerations and appointed able
business men. The actual carrying on
of the war is put up 70 Lloyd George,
who, with BOnar Law, Lord Miner,
Arthur Henderson and Earl Curzon.
comprise the war cabinet. Earl Cur
zon and Bonar Law will act as leaders
I'm the House of Lords and the House
of Commons and will be very busy
as a result. So the actual conduct OF
the war will fall into the hands OF
Lloyd George, Lord Miner and Ar
thur Henderson"
"All this gives Lloyd George an
awul lot Of power, doesn't t?"
Probably more Than any British
Premier has ever had before. Lloyd
George is almost a dictator You know
nations often appoint dictators in time
OF peril. You know from your history
how Themistocles saved Greece from
the Persians and how Pompey saved
Rome from the Csrthagians Per
haps in the same way Lloyd George
will save Great Britain from the Ger
mans"
Uncle Harry was silent a moment.
There is something very significant
in all this" he said. Germany. you
know. is what we call a centralized
power. The entire management of the
country is directed by very few men.
England. on the other hand. Is a cOun-
try in which control is widespread
among the people, who rule themselves
by choosing who shall rule them.
1T has been said by many that a
centralized power like Germany is
much more efficient and powerful than
a country like England. because what
ever the governing group says goes
and no time is wasted in disucssiou
and argument. Perhaps it is in meas
ure true. Germany has certainly been
terrible in her unfailing efficiency
while England has been slow at times
when she should have been quick and
: has made terrible mistakes. But now
after twenty-eight months OF war
} England has shown us that a nation
which In times OF peace believes IN
government by the people, can in wal
time concentrate its power in one
small group Of men--and thus be as
efficient as its great despOtic adver-
sary."

remains Of Tom Tiger Tail were dug
up from their final resting place, west
OF Fort Pierce and taken to Washing

that waited on the board of county
commissioners of st. Lucie county and
demanded that the body be brought
back, which was done.

people which afterward developed to

ger was one of the number that
threatened an uprising. He is also
said to have been an instigator of a
number of troubles with the natives
during his lifetime.
Of late years Tommy has been a
familiar figure on the streets of Mi
ami. He never mingled very much
with the other members of his tribe,
however, but he was seen frequently
about the local hotels where he
begged money in small amounts from
the visitors who frequently fell for his
stories of the Everglades. He was al
SO addicted to drink which is not I'M
common among certain members of
the Seminole tribe.
The body was taken to Combs
morgue but no arrangements have as
