RIDDELL FINDS

London, Dec. %.
The energy, vitality and brains Of the
present day great minds such as
Woodrow Wilson. Georges Clemenccau
and David Lloyd George were analysed
by Lord Riddell In lecture at Birbeck
College. Lord Riddell was In an excel
lent position to watch the war leaders
at work in conferences since. He places
Lloyd George, Wilson and Clemenceau
at the top of the list. and then Marshal
Toch Lord Kitchener. Lord Beatty, the
Earl of Balfour, Herbert Asquith and
Bonar Law.
"Clemenceau," said Lord Riddell, "is
a man of overwhelming energy, vitality,
courage, ruthlessness, humor and quick
ness of perception. His chief defect is
his inability to work with others on
equal terms and his intolerance OF the
opinions of others with whom he dis
agrees.
Lloyd George resembles Clemenceau,
but ho is not ruthless or bitter. He
delights in compromise and is subtle.
If an enemy is dining with him who he
knows likes roast duck. Lloyd George
will provide n roast duck.
Wilson has energy and driving
force. lie lacks the quickness of Lloyd
George and Cleinenceau and their ready
powers OF argument. He does not pos
sess the gift OF working with or MAX
ing use of other people.
"Foch possesses simple. direct mind
with great powers of imagination IN
military matters. lie has great OBJ
stinacy of purpose.
Kitchener had energy, vision and
ideals He was not a. great organizer
At times he was mentally active and al
times dull and inert.
Beatty possesses a daring spirit, and
is calm and sagacious. He has the sea-
mans love for fair play.
"Balfour Is mistaken for an ainisble
learned man. who has been able to over
ccme an indolent disposition. Such an
idea is absolutely incorrect. lie Is =

keen, subtle mind. His charming man

Many persons marvel how he has

The old argument as to how many

rival here of John Eyre, the owner OF
the 1slcworth Mona Lisa. which has been
in England 200 years. Eyre has brought

or that OF pupil produced It.
Besides the lsleworth Mona Lisa there
is one In the Prado Gallery. Madrid

give definite verdict, as thus far no
one goes further than to say 1t came
from Da Vncfs studio.

Berlin, Dec. %.
Sonneberg in Thuringia, Germanys
greatest toy center. has been captured
by Americans and Americanized.
Whereas so per cent of the entire out
put of the factories of this town for
merly went TO America, the exports
dropped amazingly this year and as a
result American toy firms rushed in and
put the business back on It's feet.
Within the past few months the ap-
pearance of the streets has been changed
by the rapid erection of business build
ings of American type. The factories
are assuming an American aspect and
storage houses are being erected In the
expectation OF filling them before the
next Christmas season.
Among the most conspicuous struct-
ures on the main street is a Woolworth
building. that firm having gained con-
troll of large part of the toy industry.
Several New York firms have perma-
nently established businesses in Some
berg and also one Detroit and one Pitts
burg company.
Another American touch la seen In the
brilliantly lighted show windows where
purely American toys are exhibited.
Humorous Paddles with shamrocks in
their hats intended as st. Patricks Day
novelties share the windows with
Christmas displays. while American
pumpkin Jack-o LANTERNS, Thanksgiving
turkeys and miniature Washingtons
with hatchets and cherry trees show
that the town has passed from under
the old German influence. Even the
toy Santa Claus has assumed the
jolly appearance familiar to Americans
instead of looking like a gnome. which
German children imagine him to be.
The representative of one of the New
York firms told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent that the American inva-
sion was due to the fact that German
toy manufacturers this season let their
prices rlse above the world level. 1t
was then decided that supervision. in
vestment of capital and keeping UP
production In the dull season was the
only way to restore the old market con-
dtions. Sonneberg's toy exports this
year fell third below the 1913 figures.
