So Lloyd George supported the dispatch Of
the ultimatunn to Germany requiring her to re-
spect the neutrality Of Belgium. The ultimatum
expired at II pm. on Monday. August 1. Lloyd
George has often told me Of the scene in the
cabinet room at 10 Downing street on that even
ing when Asquith and his moro important col
leagues sat waiting after dinner. waiting to
know whether there was to be any reply from
the Germany embassy. The conversation turned
from one trtvfality to another. None would
speak Of what was really in his mind. Still
no reply. and then the slow deep tones Of Big
Ben began to toll out the strokes Of eleven
through the night The die was cast. England
was at war, the world was at war. Scarcely
word was said, the event was too great for
speech, and the cabinet dispersed one by one,
feeling that they had passed into q new world.
. Once war was declared Lloyd George had no
further hesitations. He often used to say: II
can understand, the -pacihst, the man who be-
ieves that all war Is wrong. But 1 cannot un-
derstand the man who wages war nalf.hearted-
"" And he threw himself into the task with
every ounce Of his energy and his mind. It Is
literally true that: save for the minimum Of
and worked for nothing save victory from the
first day Of the war to the last.

During the first few weeks he was occupied
with dealing with tho financial crisis caused by
the outbreak Of war. Once he had solved these
by few swift and unconventional decisions, he
sat down to make up his mind as to how the.
war was to be won Within very few weeks he
had ssen through the optimism which prevailed
during 1914. The myth Of the Russian steam
roller" like the myth that Germany would COL
lapse II she: did not gain victory at the FIRST
blow. had disappeared from his mind. He real
lied that Kitchener was right, and that It Was
going to be = long war and . terrible war before
victory was WON.
He .was forever asking the military experts:

Prospect Of Success at Farley
Something More Than Mere Hope

ward or possible wrong or injustice.
The atmosphere Of the council room
should be clearer therefore, and con-
ducive to calm consideration in the
spirit OF compromise and concession.

1t Is pointed out that another ele-
ment which should d7contribute to the
success Of this supreme test, Of civili-
zation Is the fact that the conferees
are not taking their places at a table
where territory, is to be carved up
and divided, with the attendant
wrangles and bitterness Inherent. in
such an undertaking. And, as Secretary
Of State Hughes once said in his
Illuminating talks on the purposes Of
the conference, no one is to be on
trial.
Brought down to its simplest analy-
sis. the object Of one branch Of tho
conference is to visualize obstacles
threatening to arise in the path Of
the future and to provide for their
removal before; they take actual and
threatening form. To any reasonable
man that ought not to seem an insu-
perable undertaking. especially when
all are agreed in the wisdom and
necessity Of it, it is contended by off,
cials.

Omcials of this government are not
in sympathy with the impression
sought to be conveyed in some quar-
ters of the presence of an element Of
occultism, mysteriousness or deep
chicane in the purpose of the United
States or its policy in this confer
ence. One writer recently used a
striking expression to cover this
point. He said that the advantage
Of the United States lay in the sim
plicity and the strength Of its policy
He might have added that tho
strength Of the American position
was derived from the very simplicity
Of it's policy. And there is no Chi
canery in or behind It, 1t is as plain
as pikestan. Neither was the call
ing Of the conference the result Of
any deep-laid plan or purpose Of
overreaching a neighbor. 1t was In
response to a world wide movement
which was gathering daily momen-
tum. '
President Harding saw it and took
the leadership In II. It was fitting
that the United States should take
the initial step, because Of the fact
recognized by the world that this
government has NO selfish national
interests to serve. The United
States is not a weakling. either, seek

.-The War, the First Phase

~ EFoRE 1914 Lloyd George had generally
been reckoned among the gpacifist Sec
ton Of the liberal cabinet. That he
- was a fighter by nature and did not
shrink from conflict was obvious from his whole
career But he was preoccupted with the IN

Prussia was trying to frighten Europe into
subservience by persecution. As Lloyd George
said: 1.-THE world cannot be carried on along
these lines" So he made his speech and the
Prussion bully retired. It Is curious, too that
Lloyd George, despite his opposition to expendi-
turs on armaments was one Of the few minis
ters whom the German diplomats did not at

Leaders Of CO. P: Concerned
Over the Results of Elections

Win the reSp0nSlDll1ty OF republican
success. are becoming somewhat .un-
easy over what appears to be a hope
less situation in one branch Of the
legislative body--to speak bluntly, in
the Senate.
While last Tuesdays election did
not involve national issues. but were
local in character. tho committees
do not overlook the number Of erst-
while republican cities which have
elected democratic mayors. They are
now making exhaustive surveys to
ascertain the basis of. the results last
Tuesday.
The republican national committee
has for weeks been perfecting its
publicity organisation to convey to
the public the real situation regard
ing legislation. While the next year
Is regarded as an "off year" during
which the national committee Is Or
dinarily not active, the committee
will take vigorous measures for ef-
fective work. This is planned for the
reason that any slump in 1922 would
be interpreted as adverse is the
President and his administration.
The party in power Is always sub
ject to the complaint Of the dissat-
isfied, who make up a fairly large
percentage of the electorate. This ele-
ment can always be counted upon to
be against the administration. 1t will
be necessary to show to the thinking
element Of the electorate that no
necessary legislation for readjust-
ment fails of passage either by. mat
tention or indifference of the party
in power or by an organized filibuster
Of the minority party.
The country knows that the party
in power controls both branches Of
Congress by enormous majorlties. 1t
will be difficult to satisfy the country
that the majority cannot put through
a program in spite Of the minority.
Party leaders are aware of rnis basis
Of decision on the part of the voters
throughout tho country.
What is the answer? What is 60
ing to be done about it? CONFIDENTIAL
ly. the republican leaders will say
There has got to be a concentrated
public opinion to expedite in the
Senate necessary legislation which has
long since passed the House." 1t is
very obvious that the House Is now
only marking time and flirting with
dribs and drabs Of legislation, watt
ing for the big measures to come back
from the Senate.
There Is an interesting sidelight on
the situation in the increased activity
Of the friends Of those senators who
are, TO come up for reelection. 1t is
a foregone conclusion that every one
Of them will be put on the gridiron
by the people. Friends OF those SEN
ators who have to fight for their seats
appreciate that It Is not enough to
say to the people that the democratic
senator's are thwarting these meas
ures. because tho country-whether
right or wrong-is holding the repub-
lican senators responsible. Protests
coming from all parts Of the country
and particularly from the states where
senatorial elections are impending
say that IL lack Of legislation is due
to tho lack Of rules 1t is mp to the re-
publican majority to put through such
rules as will enable them to enact
legislation.
This direct pressure against SEN
ators seeking reelection will come
from the public If relief does not fol-
low soon by final action on the big
measures now delayed.

The great bulk of the liquor seiz-
