victory in the English House Of
Commons on his plan for going to
the Conference at Genoa; he seems
TO win every contest that he goes
into" SAID Joe.
81 don't always agree with pre-
mier Lloyd Georges IDEAS" replied
Uncle Harry. but there is no doubt
but that he is one Of the most re-
markable men in public fife any
where in the world today. Many, in
Guiding some OF his most bitter po-
litical enemies regard him as the
worlds foremost statesman and dip
iomat.
\ Dominant Figure Since 1914.
"Of all the men who were the
active heads Of their governments
in the early days of the World War
Lloyd George is the only one who is
in that position today. When you

six or seven years. you begin TO ap-
preciate the significance OF Mr..
Lloyd Georges triumph.

since the early days Of the war. At
times there has been much opposi-
ton to Lloyd George and his down
fall has been predicted a dozen
times. But in each crisis his know
ledge Of conditions plus his judg-

enabled him TO go before Parlia-

The work of the British Premier
is all the more remarkable when We
recall that al the time Of the Boer

stand that Lloyd George took in the
Boer War in the success that the
South African Republic has
achieved in an Independent British

mist Of st. Louis apparently has won
his long fight for a pension for injur-
les sustained a score of years ago while

Rump gained his sobriquet because
OF his good humor and steadfastness
despite his suffering caused in 1902
when ne was struck by a postal sack
thrown by a fellow worker. The blow
injured his spine and caused ossifica-
ton Of the joints. Total paralysis OF
the body set in in 1909, and Rump
has been bedridden since. The only
part Of his body that he can move is
his jaw. and that only about a quarter
OF an inch.
Rump was granted s. 1000 in q lump
sum several years ago, ana because OF
this award, his fight for a pension was
contested.
The house finally passed a bill grant.
ing Runp a life pension of $50 a month.
The senate, it was said. likely will ac.
cept the house bill, it having passed a
bill some time ago granting him SCI.
Despite his infirmities, Rump has
been earning money by soliciting maya.
