TWO EX-PREMIERS OF OLD WORLD MEET IN CHICAGO
(Continued from Page ohe)


 live in peace and harmony today, and the world will find it's way along the paths of peace, unity and eternal brotherhood"
 Democracy" he said, dramatically, must not bow to hypocrisy"
 "Germanys failure in the war, was due to lack of vision, courage and leadership by her rulers. That is not without it's meaning now, when democracy has been overthrown in one country after another, as though it were of no use. Now, when demo- cracy is in danger, when I can see democracy tumbling from it's throne, the only hope for the world is that the great democratic peoples will stand together against the onrush of despo tism.'
 In another sense. perhaps, Lloyd George exhibited his own inherent democracy at the beginning of the luncheon. Poor old exiled Count Ap- ponyi, former Hungarian premier who stuck to his ideals as viliantly as Lloyd George or Woodrow Wilson. and to ideals very similar, only to be drievn by his people from his native | land, was about to leave Chicago after a brief visit. He had met Lloyd George at Versailles and wanted to see him again. Nobody had given the count an invitation to the luncheon and the count, with his long coat. his dignified bearing and his long pointed double beard, just came. AS the guests entered the banquet LaH, he | began to edge nearer and nearer to Lloyd George, finally coming so close as to be recognized.
 Lloyd George said something that sounded like Hello. there? and rushed to grasp Apponyis hand.
 "Ah, so you remember mew ex- claimed the old Hungarian noble, his eyes beaming with happiness.
 Seated At Right.
 In answer, Lloyd George insisted that Apponyi be seated at his right hand side, displacing some local dig nitary whose name was lost in the shuffle.
 Riding from the depot, the little Welshman's modest derby hat stood out in striking contract to the silk tiles" of innumerable members of various committees.
 Hello, Davey," somebody yelled from the sidewalk, and the derby was raised. Twenty eight other times the former ruler of Britains destinies doffed it in response to unusually yo- ciferous outbursts of applause. The publics reception, with it's British and American flags, it's confetti, it's bankers, stenographers. brokers and office boys craning necks from high story windows, and it's bands render ing variegated versions of "The Men of Harlech" and "The Bells of Aber- damn" was much the same reception as in New York, Minneapolis and Canadian cities, although possibly more so.
 According to members of the party who heard the ovation at the lunch con. middle westerners clap far louder than either Canadians or east erners.
 Arriving at the Drake hotel, Lloyd l Georges first expressed wish was that he be given a suite looking out on Lake Michigan, beyond which the sun, setting with it's glow cast on the slightly disturbed waters, fur nished for the distinguished guest the most beautiful view the city has to offer.
 Irish Actually Behave.
 The Irish societies kept their pledge of mo eggs" and six sta1wart sleuths guarded the war premier's movements during the day and eve ming and his slumbers during the night. The only element of disturb ance thus far has been the seeming 2 attempt of hundreds of thousands to clasp the Lloyd George hand ;nd the fair success of hundreds of police in keeping these people back.
 Tuesday night Lloyd George was l the guest at a private dinner given 1 by Brig. Gen. Charles c. Hell and Maria" Dawes, the champion greeter and host of all European notables, and Dame Lloyd George and Miss Megan were entertained at another dinner by Mrs. Dawes. At a recep- | tion to local Wesh societies in the | afternoon the ladies of the party were the guests of Mrs. Fred Upham and Mrs. Charles Strawn.
 Wednesday the Lloyd Georges will have dinner with the J. ogden Ar mours at Melody Farm, the Armour estate. and Wednesday night Lloyd George will make his main Chicago | address.
