LLOYD GEORGE HOPE: OF BRITISH EMPIRE, SAYS NORTHCLIFFE An Appreciation of the New Premier by the Man Who Forced the Crisis. “HE WILL WIN THE WAR.” Wili Also Maintain Good Will Between Britain and the United States. {Conrrieht Upltel Pree.

SOMETIMES WRONG, BUT AL- WAYS COURAGEOUS, Bince then Lioyd George has led all forts of movements at variance with the tenets of the political party to which I belong. Sometimes he has been right—and proved right; some- times he has been wrong—and proved wrong—but in all he has undertaken he has evinced the same rage sbown throughout this one momentous ‘week's history. Lioyd George was the only mem- der of the Government with the cour- age to exhibit discontent over our feeble and vacillating conduct of the war, Occasionally in Parliament and | on the platform he attempted to tell | little of the truth, but on | sions he was always) howled down by members of his party and their newspapers as unp triotic and us giving comfort to the enemy. The reat did their best to hide the truth, BELIEVES PREMIER HAD NO/| PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
