always with a mental reservation re-
lating to Jellicoe's late arrival with
the battleships and the failure to cut
off and destroy the German fleet. To
this was added the growing dissatis-
faction over the ease and frequency
with which the southeast coast was
raided by German vessels.
The German naval policy was to raid
the English coast and compel the Brit
ish Admiralty to break up the feet
concentration in order to protect the
coast, thus opening a channel for sub
marines and raiders and perhaps set
ting the stage for a sortie by the Ger
man fleet in force. Jellicos's policy
was to hold the fleet together in north
ern waters, draw the blockade lines
tight and be ready at all times to meet
the German fleet in full force, leaving
the coast protection from minor raids
as secondary problem.
Northcliffe's papers led the demand
for coast protection. Their slogan was
more aggressive naval policy against
submarines and submarine bases, pro-
lection of the southeast coast and a
policy of action instead of q policy of
waiting for the Germans to come out
Of hiding. Northcliffe owns more than
fifty publications Of all kinds. They

Then came Robertson. Northcliffe
attacked him and Robertson went. The
people did not like it. They had never
liked Northcliffe, looking upon him as
the exponent Of yellow journalism in
England. 1t soon became noticed that

FROM this grew the charge of collu
sion between Northcliffe and the gov
eminent. 1t was said that he was
tipped off in advance and it was said
that Lloyd George was under the con-
troll OF Northcliffe. But the most gem
orally accepted explanation, stated
BADLY, was that Lloyd George used
Northcliffe to prepare the public for a
change. He first, through Northcliffe,
wrecked a reputation and threw the
man overheard.
Sir Hugh Trenchard was another ex-
ample. He was head of the air service.
Northcliffe went after him, demanding
reforms, demanding aggressive action,
demanding new policy, demanding a
new head of the Air Board. Within a
very short time Sir Hugh was shorn
OF his reputation and replaced in the
Air Board by Lord Rothermere-of all
men, Lord Northcliffe's brother. At
the same time Northcliffe, who had
been chief Of the British Mission to
America, became the head of propa.
ganda in enemy countries.
1t was wonderful day for the
Hsrmsworth family, but it was heaping
UP trouble for Lloyd George. Neither
OF the brothers held onto his position
very long. They got out on the same
day, each giving i'll health as the rea-
son. Tho question was Immediately
asked If Northcliffe intended to turn
his batteries on Lloyd George.

There followed Irish CONSUMPTION and
Home Rule for Ireland. Parliament
accepted Irish CONSUMPTION in fact and
seemed ready to accept Home Rule IN

Lloyd George had battled his way
through another crisis and achieved
another triumph.
But it was not to be for long. The
Irish were Immediately in rebellion
against conscription and refused to
accept Home Rule offered as a aelye
for Consumption. A series Of com.
promises began. While ireland pre-.

gave the newspaper men an interview
which contained grave reflections on

Question Of Politics
Not War Policy

This controversy goes back to the
almost prehistoric period Of before the
war and has it's roots in the deep-seated
hatred of the Conservatives for Lloyd
George. 1t is, in fact, less concerned
with winning the war than with the
political luminosity that even the tor
rent Of patriotic impulse has been I'M
able to quench.
At the very beginning of the war
there were murmurs heard in London
Of the misfortune that the great strug.
gle should have come while a Liberal
government was in power. 1t was re-
called that the Boer War began under
Conservative government, but that a
Liberal ministry had to come into
power to bring it to a successful issue,
and 1t was bitterly resented that Lib
eral Premier should once more be at
the helm In great imperial crisis.
Only shortly before party feeling had
run very high over the Irish question.
II was in March. 1914, that Sir Edward
Carson was king" Carson, leader Of
the Ulster wooden gun revolt. Asquith
was coming very near to the end Of his
tenure Of Office. A general election
was approaching and there was good
reason to believe the Conservatives
stood an excellent chance Of coming in
again.
There has hardly been a time when
party feeling was more intense in Eng
land. And through it all Lloyd George
was the right-hand man Of Asouith.
He was the radical of radicals. He was
the originator Of old-age pensions and
national insurance. the income tax was
his dearly beloved step-child and he
had housing schemes and land schcmes
that made the Conservative so,fl write.
As Chancellor Of the Exchequer his
budgets were the most controversial
ever introduced in the House Of Com
mons. for they provided huge sums for
oil his pet ideas.
Then came the war and athe old

parative inaction On the Western front
helped this situation. There was
plenty of time and opportunity to play
POLITICS, and the political pot boiled.
The peace feelers of Germany also
helped.
A powerful peace party grew up
among the radicals, Socialists and
and laborites led by Arthur Hender-
son. They wanted peace by con-
and arrangement.

Recent Victory
Far From Final
Many Quar-
rels Lie Behind
Latest Attack S
By Fred B. Pitney

r LLOYD GEORGE has just won the
biggest fight of his political ca
reer, and in winning it has eased
the minds of the Allied world at large,
for the world knows that with Lloyd
George in the saddle Britain will never
make a German peace. There will be
victory first.
This knowledge, undoubtedly, greatly
influenced the vote in Commons and
gave such an overwhelming majority
293 to LOG, practically three to one. AS
much as Lloyd Georges opponents
hated him, they feared Asquith more.
Even Sir Edward Carson, bitter enemy
as he is of the Premier, pleaded with
his followers to support the govern
ment, for this was direct contest be-
tween Lloyd George and Asquith. If
the government should be overthrow
the circumstances would compel the
country to turn again to Asquith as the
leader, and that was something the
Conservatives could not stomach, even
for the sake Of getting rid of Lloyd
George.
When the storm suddenly broke it
came as the climax to long and bitter
quarrel between Lloyd George and GER
tain politico- military leaders, supported
by the Premier's ancient, unforgiving
and untiring enemies in the Conserva-
tive party Instead Of a politician,
however, it was an army officer Of high
standing, General F. B. Maurice, for
merly closely associated with Lloyd
George in the government, quasi
member of the Cabinet, who was
chosen. or who chose himself, to de-
liver the deathblow by means Of the
serious charge of untruthfulness and
deception against the Premier and his
chief counsellor, Bonar Law, Chancel-
Tor of the Exchequer.
Asquth seized the opportunity and
made himself the leader of the attack.
He took up the Maurice charges and de-
manded an investigation by Parlia-
mentary committee The affair was set
tied then. The Conservatives would not
consent to be the instruments Of put
ting Asquith in power again. What re-
manned was for Lloyd George to pre-
sent suitable defence.
"The Daily Telegraph" of London, in
commenting on the affair, said: "If it
comes to comparing fiascos, this last
may be considered the most futile"
But it does not follow that Lloyd
George is now to be let alone to attend
to the business of making war. There
may be an armistice, but there will be
no end to the feud while Lloyd George
remains in Office.

WAR GARDEN MOVEMENT
MAY SEND PEOPLE BACK

Atlanta, Ca, Mar. f2.-Will the
great war garden movement which is
now arousing such tremendous inter
est in the cities result in a movement
back to the farms when the war is
over? Thoughtful observers of the
trend of events, both in Atlanta and in
other cities. express the opinion that
CITY folks will get such a love of the
siol by raising vegetables in their yard
that they will pull up stakes" and
move to the country when conditions
settle back to normal again.
Last year hundreds of gardens were
raised in Atlanta, but this year thous-
ands are being raised. The hardware
stores can hardly supply the demand
for garden tools. The seed stores are
imploring the people not to buy more
than they actually need. Stable ma
'nure is so scarce that it's almost like
buying coal Citizens are getting up at
daylight all over the city and taking
a good workout before they leave for
the business district
On every hand the great war garden
movement is tremendously advertised.
One of the Atlanta dailies has planted
a big garden near the center of the
city which is attracting great atten-
ton. The Fourth National Bank has
mailed to every one of it's customers a
planting schedule showing in detail
what to plant, how to cultivate, and
when to gather A big war garden pa
ride was held in the downtown section
a few days ago in which thousands of
enthusiastic food producers marched
in overalls.
