Accepted Order of Garter
After Washingt0n Conference

1t was only after the Washington
Conference. where he represented Great
Britain, that he consented to accept the
Order Of the Garter, England's most
exclusive knightly order. Shortly af-
terward he was created the Earl OF
Balfour.

Eid his name with title, conferred

sors for quantity production of peers.
The forces in British politics now
moving to expose the traffic In titles
contend that a regular scale Of prices
aas been fixed.
For greater clearness 1t must be ex.
plalned that the loftiest grade in the
nobility Is that of duke. Immediately
below is the grade Of marquis. Sue
sesslvely lower In the scale are the
trades Of earl, viscount and baron.
Suspended between the nobility proper
md the knights are the baronets, lit
'ally little barons," a titular rank
created by King James !.
The grade Of baronet was created
openly as revenue raiser for the
monarch and the payment of five hun
area pounds was sufficient to obtain the
honor.
Aside from the Order Of the Garter,
.ae principal knighthoods are those OF
.ae Order of the Thistle, the Order OF
o'' Fatrick, the Order of the Bath, the
vsaer OF st. Michael and st. George,
Wy Order of the Star of India, the
v suer OF tho Indian Empire, the Royal
E.or'an Order and the Order of the
aash Empire.

King Of England Regarded
as the Fountain of Honor

as the Fountain of Honor
Nominally, the King Of England
Is "the fountain of honor" the
source from which flow all patents
Of nobility, all baronetcies and mem-
bership in all the orders Of British
knighthood.
But actually it is the Prime Min
lister, the responsible head Of the
Imperial Government, who "sug-
gests" candidates to the King.
In proportion to his years Of
service as the real head Of "the
crowned republic" Of England, Lloyd
George holds the championship as .
dispenser Of titles and honors.
Numerous titles, Of course, were
conferred for extraordinary service
during the war. But many others
wers conferred for other reasons.
Unless Lloyd George can calm the
storm, an investigation will develop
that may tarnish the gilt on many .
coronet.
Lloyd George became Prime Min
lister of England in 1916. In the
last six years nearly eighty addi-
tions have been made to the House
Of Lords, the enfeebled upper cham
Der of the Imperial Parliament.
The late third Marquis of Sails
bury, three times Prime Minister,
holds the record for the number Of
titles granted. Eighty-eight men
were raised to the peerage while he
held the highest administrative
office. But his entire service as
Prime Minister covered fourteen
years.
Gladstone, England's "Grand Old
Man," who was Prime Minister four
times, awarded about fifty titles
during his administrations.
The Earl of Rosebery, Prime Min
lister in 1894 and 1895, recommended
and obtained nine titles for as many
men. A. ]. Balfour, Prime Minister
from 1902 to 1905, made twenty-four
additions to the House of Lords,
although for many years he firmly
refused to accept title himself.
