LLYOD GEORGES PUBLICITY

Premier Lloyd George, the dough- ty Welshman whose rise to the lead ership of the British government Is the biggest political development of the war, has scored another spectacu- lar success is stirring England to the need of co-ordinated effort. His speech in the house of commons last week, which was a challenge to his critics, smothered opposition so completely that he emerged from the controversy more powerful than ever.
 The cloud the size of mans hand appeared when the premier delivered a speech in Paris about a month ago assailing the lack of unified effort and saving that Serbia had been lost be- cause none of the allies was charged with the responsibility of saving 1t. MT. AsQuith, the former British pre- mier. accepted this as an indictment of his administration. and his par tisans, including that part of the press that stood behind him. immedi- ately raised a tempest which for the moment threatened to test Lloyd Georges popularity to the limit.

 The fact is that in the United States public opinion not only is "in" but 1t would have even greater powers vest ed in the inter-allied war council than have been given 1t. Its authority now is only advisory, but no doubt Lloyd George compromised on this point in order to be sure of supporting Brit ain. which has not been convinced that to take the decision of strategy from the individual staffs would be an advisable step.
