THE British propaganda goes
on unabated in this country.

Reosntly in Maine there ap-
peared two notorious British
/, propagandists, speaking to Amer
lean audiences. One of them is
! the notorious Rathom, of the
[ Providence Journal, whose con-
/ nection with the British Secret
\ Service was exposed not long
! since. The other is George w.
! Wickersham, Attorney General of
the United States under Taft be-
cause he was the partner of Taft s
j brother.
Wickersham has been British
propagandist in this country for
some time. He has spent a great
deal of his energy in behalf of
the League of Nations, which the
British wanted, and in behalf of
the present four-power treaty,
which the British desperately
want.
He got up a big petition for
the four-power treaty, which he
sent to Washington. He spoke
for it everywhere. But nowhere
did he reveal to the people his
British connections. Therefore, it
is the duty Of this paper to call
attention to them.
He is the American attorney
for the biggest steel company in
Great Britain and the largest mu-
nitions maker. His sister is mar
ried to the head of one of these
firms.
Elihu Root also did as effective
work as he could for the League
of Nations without breaking with
! his party. 1t was dangerous
work, because it was insidious and
pnder cover of an attempt to de-
rive the League of its evil fea-
res.
The reason that Mr.. Root was
able to do effective work in
position to the League of Ma
ps was revealed by President
ding when he was Senator and
self in the midst of the fight
pst the League.

ing's letter to a friend in

CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST LLOYD GEORGE

London, Oct S.--(By The 4. P.)-The later phases of the near eastern crisis have been accompanied by tbs growth of a political and newspaper campaign against David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, which reached it's eli max when the four leading weekly re- Views and one of the premier $ staunchest supporters among the Sunday newspa- pers joined in demand for lis resigna- tion.
 This campaign has far surpassed in it's widespread extent and seeming influence any of the similar campaigns which the premier during the troubled postwar pe- riod has had to meet and which hither- to he always has successfully cireum- vented. What has distinguished the present campaign from all the previous ones is that it is not confded to the premiers natural political enemies but embraces solid organs of publ, opinion of all political sha6es.
 The basis of the charges against MT. Lloyd George is that his strong pro- Greek policy brought the nation to the brink of war, which was only ayerted, in the first place, through the statesman ship and diplomacy of Lord CurzoH, the foreign secretary who emerged from the alleged prolonged eclipse from which the foreign office has suffered through the premier retaining in his own hands all the threads of British fo. eign policy and secured an agreement with France on a Near Eastern policy, and in the second place through the moderation and tact displayed by Brigadier General Har- lngton in his dealRgs with the Renal istz
