ington conference by the presence OF
Lloyd George has received such hearty
approval in London that there is def
mite hope that the distinguished Welsh
man will be among the statesmen fore
gathered in response to President
Harding's invitation. With the sole ex-
ception of Marshal Foch. the British
prime minister would attract the Amer
can public more numerously than any
one person connected with the war and
the subsequent peace negotiations.
Should he decide to join his confreres
pire, Washington will be an extraordi-
nary center of activity during the
usual somnolent months of opening
autumn. Mrs. Lloyd George invariably
accompanies her husband on such mis-
sions. and there is a charming young
daughter, who was a bud and belle OF
the last London season. The British
statesman enjoys the reputation of de-
lighting in game of golf and 1t will
be memorable occasion when he pits
his skill against the Presidents. and
possibly on the municipal links. for
Lloyd George is a famous commoner
| and aschews clubs and class distinctions
of every variety. He has just turned
his ffty-eighth year, and yet not
! member of the American Congress can
approach him in continuous service in
the same legislative hall. He has rep
| commons since 1890, whereas the clos
! est to this record still in active life
\ is Henry Cabot Lodge. who entered the
! House of Representatives in 1888 and
| was promoted to the Senate about six
years later. The Speaker of the House,
Mr.. Gillette, was elected in 1892 and
has served uninterruptedly since. Mr.
| Cannon lost a term and so ranks after
the two distinguished sons of Massa-
chusetts. The coming of Lloyd George
will thus concern not alone the State
| Department. but will be an incident Of
| the highest Importance to the lower
4 house of Congress.

Miss Catherine Hill are among the
Americans domiciled in Berlin for the

stay at least into September and Oc-

more the radical changes to be noticed

letter from Mrs. Hill tells Of their
supreme satisfaction in dashing
through the central arch Of the Bran
denburg gate in a hired taxi. When
time in 1912. to commit such breach
| of etiquette as this would have been
fatal for a diplomat and might per-
haps have landed a less distinguished
seeker after adventure in Jail. At least
six mighty mounted guards were re-
quired to see that none but the imperial
family and its personal representatives
drove through the central arch The
absence of the military from the
streets also strikes a new note in Ber-

are in another city. DR.. Hill is en-
gagged on some studies of sources
which mark the beginning of the cele-

main in Europe all winter. Miss Hill
however. has accepted position to
teach French and German in Bryn
Mawr, and she will return to this
country late in August.
