Political Atmosphere
 n England Clearing

spirlug a new coalition of progressive forces.
 The strength of the coalition at the moment Is the fact that the opposition parties are as much concerned in at lacking each other as in attacking the coalition.
 Lord Grey Returns
 The renewed pollticsl activities have brought Lord Grey back and he is found pleading for normal party conflict as the only means of check ing and ultimately ending the coali- ton government, He says the govern ment has been spendthrift and un- stable and that the House of Com mons has become quiescent to the governments wrong doing. A liberal reunion. Lord Grey says, is the only way 10 salvation.
 All of this is simply paying at the moon, so far as the fife of the coali- ton is concerned. The coalition can not be seriously endangered from the outside while there is hostility be- tween liberalism and labor. And here there are fundamental differ ences. Liberalism stands for free dom for industry; labor for national ization. Liberalism stands for indi- vidual enterprises: labor stands for state control. And neither Is willing as yet to waive theoretical differ ences on remote issues to corporate on immediately practical things.
 Nevertheless, the spell of political oratory has been very refreshing.

INFLUENZA NOT A
 MODERN DISEASE
Special Cable to The AEe-Herald


 London, January 2s.-Influenza. which is gripping England and has spread to America is by no means a modern disease. The dread word made It's first appearance in Eng land just before the middle of the eighteenth century. in connection with an epidemic ague which per hsps came. like the word. from Italy. The word Is a by-form of Influenza" which was originally an astrological term for the power of virtue supposed to flow from ths planets upon men and things, so in it's very origin it suggests something mysterious and probably baleful.
 The use of the word in England became more general during the cpl demic of 17e2 and with the severe visitation of 17S2 tho term became settled and was formally adopted by the College of Physicians. X Shropshire parish register thinks the disorder" remarkable enough to make note of 1t in that year, and Lady Sarah Napier Qsennox), in a letter to friend dated May 29. 17s2, says that ESQ general an illness has never been known here in the mem ory of man" She had heard of no fatalities, but 1t was "horrid trouble some" and "ail bilious people are very bad with It." If it reaches you," she further advises, you must get rid of 1t by sweating or a gen tic physic and drink wine. for it's of the putrid kind"-an adjective with which many may agree, though not In its eighteenth century sense.

The flapper daughter was de- pressed. It showed plainly as the family sat down to Sunday morning breakfast She buttered her toast languidly and took small part in the family conversation.
 Her father noticed her melancholy and asked kindly:

Lloyd George and His Coali- ton Government ContinueI Strong Because of Weak neSSeS of Opposition Parties
By GEORGE \. BARNES
Special Wireless Dispatch to The Age -Heral

Special Wireless Dispatch 10 The Age Herald
 Copyright, 1922. by The Age -Heraid)
 London, January 28.-Events of the last few days have cleared the political atmosphere in England. The general election, threatened for February, has been ruled out. The proposed reorganization of the House of Lords, restoring to that august and useless body the right of veto, has been shelved, according to Lloyd George.
 The coalition government is to continue, but It's two parts are more disposed than heretofore to rally to their own distinctive viewpoints and each pay more attention to it's own organization. The pact will in fact be strictly in the nature of the CO., operation of two separate groups working together for special pur- poses.
 The coalition will never develop into the homogeneous organization which followed the absorption of the liberal unlonists into the conserva- tive party generation ago.
 Too Tough for Tories
 David Lloyd George Is too tough a morsel to be digested by toryism and he will some time part company with his present conservative colleagues. All of thls has developed from the liberal-coalitionist convention and other proceedings of the past week.
 Both the Asquithian liberals and the torians are contendlng that Lloyd George has lately done in Ireland and elsewhere what they would have done two or three years ago and that far from his government deserving confidence 1t only merits mistrust.
 The fact is that England Is going through & transitory stage of it's po litical life during which government must be by coalition. There may be a time when conservative govern ment will hold office. while the pro sgressive forces are composing their differences, but If so 1t will be but as "a fleetlng and embarrassed phan- tom"
 To my mind the trend has set to- ward a dlsintegration of the existing coalition. It will hold, however. for the Genoa conference. for retrench- ment in public expenditures and pos. sthly for the House of Lords reform Severance will come when the appli- cation of progressive and collective principles will be forced by the growth of public opinion. When that time comes the present coalition will cease to exist because lack of af- flnity between its component parts will stand revealed
 But where then will Lloyd George |? He may be either leading or in-
