H0YD-GEORGE IS DOMINANT,

By EARLE C.. REEVES

 London, Nov. 1.-The dominant po- Htfcal figure of the world today is Da- xfd Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England and the chief of Britain s delegation to the Conference for the Reduction of Armaments.
 - Hellweg, Orlando, Clemenceau and Wilson went down in turn, disappear lng from the key positions of the in leaders only George remains to turn his hand to the problem of reducing the ornaments of the world. esE His power and influence and fame grew steadily from the early days of tfhe war. Much of it has been due to "a 1eftneSS in handling men, much to I91is dexterity in handling the English f1anguage-

 A National Hero
 .-r He emerged from the war a nation gal hero. naturally His home prestige a1as been badly shaken since, as was >Elnevitable. Yet he remains the one kAnd only man able to sit astride a two fparty, coalition government in Eng faand today. To his credit it may be 5Eaid that he has guided, inspired and ssince. the war that he has brought it fthrough a period of world revolutions fand unrest more sound than any other tEuropean government
 = Stories are told of bis ignorance of international affairs. The story, for .instance. of his bland Inquiry as to where Teschen was, when it was the i crux of the central European settle ment, in Paris. He has been attacked openly in print on such scores.
 .e Issues doubtless will rise at Wash ington with which he will be totally mnfamiliar, where that diplomatic en- cyclopedia Lord Curzon, would have tips. But in Washington, as else where. George will be surrounded by men far abler than himself in their specific lines, who will guide and ad- wise.
 = Rest assured however, that his per sonality will be the dominant one of the delegation, perhaps of the whole Conference.
 Wanted Confab Postponed
 Pressed on all sides at home and with a troubled Europe nearby, Lloyd George desired to see the Washington conference postponed until later, when he might attend with safety He was, perhaps, influenced by the gen eral Indifference regarding. the confer ence which existed in England.
 As a conference on disarmament, with a background of suspicion that it was the American start in another experiment in League of Nations making. President Harding's invita- ton did not immediately commend it. self to cordial reception.
 As the time fer the conference ap- preached there was a veritable tide of official sentiment regarding it be- < cause of the empire significance of Pacific questions. It was discovered that the conference in Washington is

IDEA OF IGNORING
 UNKNOWN HERO
 - WAS MINISTER'S.

New York, Nov. 1.-The idea of conferrfng a nations proudest honors on the bones. of an unknown soldier as will be done by the United States at Arlington Natione1 Cemetery on Armistice Day, was first put forward l England by Nathaniel Rai1ton, a young clergyman and war veteran
 According to information reaching American Legion 1eaduarters here England's initiative fin holding a great public mourning service at the bier of one of her nameless heroes. was taken after Rai1ton had publish ed in a London paper an open letter addressed to tho English public
 This article pointed out that many thousands of soldiers had died on the battlefield for their country and their ideals and had gone to their graves unidentified, and urged that such a soldier, utterly lost in the great hoIo, caust, typff1ed more perfectly than could any other of the victims of the war the spirit Of se1f-sacrifice and love of flag and country.

People meeting the steamer offered their home treasures for food or money. There was signs of pitiful attempts to make use of the Volga water during the rainless summer to irrigate miles of cabbage patches between the low water and high water marks

 An incident typical of the specula- ton which takes place amid this struggle for life occurred at Uvek, below Saratov, when the man in charge of two food cars of the Amer ican Relief Administration told the correspondent that his cars had not been ferried across the river to the village of Pugashusk, because the sta ton master wanted either part of the food for himself or cash tip.

Urging a great demonstration in the form of a public funeral for an "Un- known Soldier" the letter expressed the thought that such a solemn cere- mony would rivet forever in the hearts of British subjects the profound les sons of war and a worthy apprecia- ton of the sacrifice of the young men who laid down their lives.

 \ Delicate Compromiser
 If there is in truth another interna- tional war to be averted Britain's ablest pacif1eF will be on the job. Lloyd George, who was in his earlier days a hot-headed assailant of Tory ism, loaded with hot shot of an ex- tremely radical variety, has been toned down until he is the most elo- quent and delicate compromiser of modern times.
 The son of Unitarian schoolmas- ter, ophaned ati an early age and reared by an uncle. the village cob bier of Criccieth, Wales. who was also a preacher, Lloyd George was largely self taught and a ''self made man. He recently told a delegation of unemployed that Jhe was only too fla miliar with their problems, as he had at one time, supported a family on 14 shi1lings a week. He became a prac- ticing solicitor in 1884, entered Parlia- ment in 1890, and his first big po- litical appointment came in 1905, when he was made president of the Board of Trade. He has held the Cabinet posts of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of Munitions and Secretary of State for War. At 58 he has been Prime Minister for five years. The strain has told on him, of course, but he has weathered the greatest crises with good nature and meets all prob lems with a smile.
