social question; when she becomes once
more the assured country she was when
she boasted Of her splendid isolation, the
hour of the Lloyd Georges will pass and
the institutional type of man will re-

Lloyd Georges Methods
In the Peace Conference at Paris the
world has had chance 20 see how
! Lloyd George acts. Perhaps the most
amazing thing he has done was to de-
mand recently the remaking of the
treaty offered to Germany, in the in
tcrests Of moderation. just before the
Peace Conference met at Paris Lloyd
George held Parliamentary election in
! England. He chose that time to hold it
because the crisis in Britain's future
presented by the Peace Conference was
most acute. And for reasons already
given in a crisis the head instinct re
asserts itself.
Lloyd George chose wisely. A man
without a party he succeeded in achiev
| ing a larger majority in the House than
any premier ever had before. In a
crisis men can not think. In crisis
men can not divide. Nothing counts
except expediency and Lloyd George is
eXpediency.
At the time of that campaign Lloyd
| George held out before the British
electorate the idea of II punitive peace
against Germany. I..~r Il good politi-
clan he avoids precise language. Even
major prophet uses words suscep-
| tiblc of n dozen interpretations. Dur
| ing all the peace negotiations until re-
Gently he held firmly to the plan of
making Germany pay. making it pay a
crushing suut making it lie under n
burden of Indebtedness from which il
could not rise, especially rise and com
pete with British manufacturers. His
chief financial adviser at Paris, an
English banker of world wide reputa
ton, started out by demanding that the
Germans should pay S120, 100000 ,000
| in reparation.
His Right About Face
Today it is Lloyd George who IS
| leading the fight TO make the burden
upon Germany lighter. The whole of
! England in December seemed to demand
n harsh peace with Germany. The
whole of England, too. protests against
the peace which was actually drawn
up. and for the severity of which Lloyd
George was so much responsible that
President Wilson once called for the
George Washington to take him home
to the United States as n sign of his
protest against the attitude Of the
British premier.
And so now Lloyd George has
changed sides and is for moderatlng
the peace.
He is for n severe peace when he
thinks that is good politics. He is for
generous peace when he finds that
not Ionly are the British labor and
liberals against the peace as drawn,
but the British shipping interests. anx

England, oil the contrary, has been
more shaken. From first place she has
dropped back to second place among
the powers of the world. London is no
longer the banking center of the world.
New York has replaced it. America
might at any time take the command
of the seas away from the British navy.
And at any time America does actually
threaten the supremacy of England's
mercantile marine. Moreover. the ad-
vantage of cheap labor on which Eng
lands prosperity rested is lost. Her
labor is fast becoming as costly as our
own, and is not nearly so efficient, by
reason of short sighted labor union
policies and by reason of the failure of
British capital to make the most of
labor saying machinery. On the seas
La Toilette law against which so much
complaint has been made by American
shipowners is likely to be the model of
legislation in other countries. Certainly
in England where the power of the
labor unions daily increases. Our short
age of labor and its high cost have been
a blessing. They have taught us to do
the utmost with what we have. The
f4nRllSH, the anu lHt ItSL VI lHt
nations of Europe have not learned the
lesson and are not ready.
The social problem threatens in Eng
land as it does not in France or in
America. The. colonial question pre-
scnts difficulties. Ireland, India, Egypt
are full of the new spirit which the re =
taking of many races from the bondage
of Austria, Turkey and Russia has
awakened. And the truly English
colonies demand a new share in the
government of the empire. England
thus faces many new things-a country
greater than itself formidable in its
rivalry: new organization of the EN-
1 pire itself is almost imposed by the re
suits of the war; and the class move :
meut which has brought uncertain
fruits in Russia and Germany is nearer
England than any other victorious
country.

Herd Leaders Reign Temporary

For these reasons England has lost
her confidence. For these reasons thers
is the herds cry for leader. And for
these reasons you find Lloyd George
radical. conservative, master politician
who has no rule but experience, who is
superior to party, superior to institu
tions. He has no convictions precisely
because the hour demands no convic-
tions but resourcefulness. Belief in
something might handicap him or
handicap the nation, therefore there is
none.
Britain looks with a troubled eye on
the main chance. Lloyd George is its
man. He carries no impedimenta in
the way of policies, but is quick to see
the turn of results and profit by it. Even
the voice Of a major phophet, such as
Wilson has, might be an obstacle.
Therefore he has it not. He is sign
of weakness. uncertainty. troubled

SERVANT PROBLEM
Now Puzzle Industrial England Becaus
OF Scarcity.

Now Puzzle Industrial England Because
OF Scarcity.
Because of the scarcity of servants,
England is flooded with schemes for
daily servants and servants by the
hour, says Ruth Clark, British Y. w.
c. A. worker, in a letter recently re-
ceived at headquarters of the National
War Work council of the Y. w. c. A.
in New York.
"These schemes have every element
of success" Miss Clark says. THE
only drawback is that girls cannot be
found to take them up. whereas mis-
tresses are clamoring at the doors. The
problem is acute and a solution must be
found which will tempt girls who have
been in industry to return to domestic
service. Conditions being offered now
seem attractive enough, very fair and
just, and proclaim a revolution In the
status of this type OF service.
1.-THE general unrest, which was in
evitable, will, I believe. soon settle
down. Meanwhile 1t is splendid fun to
watch things grow happy again. In the
old days London was a walking hospital
for wounded soldiers, but now there are
few to be seen. Hundreds are getting
back into multi again.
