spans only ffty-twO years, and who
 has risen in thirty two years from
 the status of a humble immigrant to
 sit around the council table as Privy
 Councillor, is anything but strong
 ma nphysicaIiy. He is thin, and pale,
 with a face resembling Robert Louis StevensOn's, but with the fire and energy which often glow in a frail body. His career has been @ hard working one. An old Australian friend in London remembers him keeping a little umbreIla-n -nending shop in Syd- ney, and always with a book before him-sOme work of economies or Henry George or Herbert Spencer. His first noteworthy political enterprise was the organization of the unslzilled workers on the Sydney docks. He ad- vOcated compulsory military service as early as 1901 and made it plank of the Labor Party platform. As the head of the great state which has most nearly approached Socialism, his views on that system are interest ing. His belief is that the growth of private mOnOpOlies naTrOws the issue to ''cO-OperatiOn for the benefit of the few versus cooperation for the benefit of the many.
 The Hughes orations are more after | the American than the British model. i Compared with the classic, Oxford nurtured and precise, diction of an Asquith, his style is as a Welsh chap eI exhOrter's to the Church of England ritual. It was because much of the country was in a mood for some pro- phet who would cut loose from the ritualistic atmosphere, and let himself go, that Hughes has been welcomed and acclaimed. He may be a, pOrtent of the leadership, the nation will de- nand after the war.

dred. At Liverpool, Manchester, Edin-
 burgh and other great provincial cities,
 such crowds have welcomed his arTiV-
 al as few public men in civil life nave seen since the famous electiOneerinS
 tours of Gladstone during his most
 popular years. He has made speech es before every type of public and
 private organizations from municipal
 bodies through the various strata of
 Scholastic and charitable societies. In the same week he has responded to the bestOWal of the freedom of a cCnSerVa- tive municipality (handed to him in a gold casket) greeted societies of Welshmen, received a degree from Q
 university, stirred to enthusiasm a meeting. of dock labOrers on the Thames, and gained d-gloved ap- pIause from committee of peeresSes engaged in war work
 The Hughes platform, roughly put has been this: War to the hilt against the Germans, both on the battlefield, and in the field of trade Commercial union within the British empire, and closer union, with a share for the colonies of making decisions on inn perial questions that concern them"
 The reason a colonial statesman could become leader almost over night in the mother country was that there were currents of thought and agitatiOnS, which were waiting for leadership. They wanted Cnly a leadership. They wanted a spokesman. They had advocates in the neWspap- CTS but not among the Weighty men in parliament, or in public life outside Westminster. While the war had enormously changed and focused the work of the government and rallied and brought together much of the latent power in a slow moving peO- pie, it has not changed the tone of
 statesmanship, nor the conservatism with which the heavy guns of the CO., alitiOn cabinet cling to what they deem high traditions of British public life. They have denounced the present ene-
 mics of the country, but have de- nOunced them with dignity, and with care to avoid what they would con-
 slider congregations. Many burning
 patriots accuse the government of
 handling vital matters too delicately.
 The up-tO-date newspapers read by
 millions, notably the Northcliffe press, assert that mysterious influences work
 to shield German interests in Great
 Britain. Ginger groups have been
 formed by members of both parties in
 parliament but these groups have had
 no weightier leadership than that of
 Sir Edward Carson and Winston
 Churchill, both of whom are popuIarIy
 rated as brilliant but unstable guides

AUSTRALIANS PRIME MINISTER
 HAD SUDDEN RISE
FraiI of Body, William Morris Hughes
 Has UnconquerabIe Spirit.

London, July 18.-Seldom in the re- cent history of FlgliSh-S speaking peO- ] ples and perhaps never in the mem 1 0Ty of Britain, has any politician all
 most unknown to the general public made so swift a conquest of the ! imagination and enthusiasm of the masses as William Morris Hughes the l Prime Minister of Australia. Only the sudden achievement of William J. Bry- an after his Grown of ThOrns, and 1 Cross of Gold" speech before the Chi l cago convention twenty years ago gives parallel in America.
 Last year Hughes was known to the United Kingdom as a colonial premier one of a list of overseas statesmen or politicians, with Borden, Fisher, Laur- fer and Ward, men whose names are familiar to Englishmen, whose per sOnaIities are merely vague shadows in the public mind. These colonial leaders always were treated with formal respect when they visited the Mother Country. A few public din- ners and receptions, perhaps a knight hood, a decoration and a university degree were given them. Rut outside the official world a general who had conducted one of England's little wars," or an explorer who had writ en some new names across the map, was more of a parsonage.
 Now the story of Hughes is the story of the most interesting civilian or the year III EnglanQ The EeIt- made Yankee-like Welshman, the self schooled workingman, protectionist, labor unionist, socialist, is now leav- ing the old country after a visit of four months, and is leaving a popular following comparable only to that commanded by another self made Welsh politician, Lloyd George. The only reason Hughes has not made more public speeches, attended more banquets arranged to do him honor, given more newspaper interviews, re- ceived the freedom of more cities, ad- dressed more Chambers of Commerce, and accepted degrees from moEe uni- versailles. has been that his time was | crowded to the utmost with such func- tions, and that his voice and his frail body succumbed at an early stage of
 the ordeal and compelled him to retire
 for some weeks to a sanatorium.
 The oratorical output of the Aus tralian Prime Minister has compared favorably with the efforts of an Amer
 ican presidential candidate of the most heroic stuff. The number of addresses,
 large and small, which the newspapers
 have reported stretch well over 9 hun
