Lloyd George mentioned in one OF his
speeches that had some phantasies.

OF the difference between the late
Prime Minister and myself when
working together. Let me read it to
you:

and canny." That's Scotch. (Laugh-

harsh realities Of office furniture.

Lloyd George ms a Drummer.
Now / shall try to give you some
account of the aims with which the
Government undertakes its task. 1t
is said that il Lloyd George was
good in war why is he not equally
good in peace? I do not think it
quite follows. In large field of bat
tie the drummer plays a great part. as
any of you who have read Kipling's
story. "The Drums Of the Fore and
Aft" recall. He plays as great
part as any Of the combatants. (The
motion picture men started to work
here and Mr.. Bonar Law lodging the
lights, remarked: This is as bad as
a battle.D
During the war a drummer was
needed not only to keep up the spirits
of the men on the field of battle. but
he was needed equally at home to
keep up the courage of all OF us who
were not at the front. Lloyd George
was the drummer. He did that better
than any one else could have done 1t.
But when the charge is over some
have fallen and some are in the hos
pital. A drummer would be rather
out Of place in hospital unless his
drummer sticks were taken from him.
(Here Bonar Law proceeded to IL
lustrate his point by telling the story
OF Highlander who was lying Ill

a hospital and asked that some one
play for him on the bag pipes. The
nurse had a warm heart and brought
piper into the room to play his
entrancing music.)
The Highland soldier recovered.
But every other patient in the hos
pital died.
Policy of NcUatfou.
