Lloyd George, Come Over.
Sentimental Sometimes.
Fllsrs and BattIeships.
Business Stopped.
ARTHUR BRISBANE.

~. Sopyri8ht. -
With Difference to Lord North
cliffe, who objects, this country
would like to see David Lloyd
George and hopes he will come
here for the disarmament con-
ference.
There were two big men on the
English side in the war. One,
Northcliffe, who had the cour-
age to tell the truth to his coun-
trymen, although they burned
him and his newspapers in
efhgy because he did tell the
truth. The other was Lloyd
George, outstanding democratic
giant Of the century, who had
the intelligence to accept and
act on the truth. He first found
the MONEY for England, then
MADE the ammunition, then
USED the ammunition and was
boss OF the whole business. We.
should like to see him.
Mr.. Sydney and young lady,
Miss Ia Pointe, needed q goat
for . vaudeville turn" The
lady arrested the gentleman,
who used her Afty-fve dollars to
hpy himself a blue serge suit
and derby hat instead Of buying
the goat to delight audiences
with it, cries when wheeled on
the stage in . baby carriage: -
That's one picture of Ameri-
can life. The young lady,
when the man was convicted,
said: Judge, ! don't want to
Dee this boy 60 to Jail for only
$55." So the man was set free
under suspended sentence. Many
q man has gone to Jail for
stealing less than half as much
when his children were hun
cry. That's another picture Of
American life. We are SEN
timental people-where a vaude-
willie turn. including a goat, is
concerned. ,,o
Sixty flying machines, after q
short attack yesterday morning,
sank the former German de-
stroyer G-102. Land planes
were used to test their value at
sea. The experiment shows that
half a million dollars worth of
flying machines, with a little
practice, might easily destroy .
forty million dollar battleship.
The moral Of that should be-
plain to snybodyZbuild flying
machines and save on battle
ships. =
b. G. Forbes, able writer on
finance and business. addresses a
letter to the banks. He reminds
them that they would deeply
resent it If business men organ
lied run" on banks. He asks
how they think business men like
the hammering that bankers have
been giving them, compelling
them to liquidate stocks at any
price and pay up with violent
suddenness.
One line In Mr.. Forbes articles
referring to 100000 idle freight
cars tells you what business condi-
tions are. In one year the coun-
try's exports and imports have
been cut down three, Thousand
million dollars. We have stopped
doing business with the outside
world, and that is no Joke.
It is pathetic to hear Mr.. We'll
lington Koo urging that his 400
100000 Chinese countrymen should
have q seat in the disarmament
contest. China. of course. will BE-
represented. But numbers mean
little. In the forest, at a dis
armament conference. one wolf
and one. fox would be more i'm
portant than 00,000,0 900 geese
and rabbits. That is why Eng
land makes a treaty with Japan
and doesn't bother with China
except to get coal and railroad
concessions.
Princess Fstinaa, here from AZ
rhanistan with a valuable jewel
In her nose, is angered because
Prince Mohammed, with other long
names, also from Afghanistsn,
doesn't call on her and says he
doesn't know anything about her.
Princess Fatima wants Mohammed
to understand that her family tree
goes back to Alexander the Great
and, through him, farther back. It
is generally understood that Alex
ander's family was wiped out,
