By Harold Published by John H. .Spender. Doran Company, New York. David Lloyd George was born in Manchester on January 17, 1863, of Welsh parents. His father dying at about the time of his birth, the child was taken by his relatives to Wales, to the little village of Llanystumwky. It was in this little village that David grew from infancy to manhood. Mr. Harold Spender, who wrties this biography of the British premier, spares us the usually tiresome domestic details with which the biographer so often encumbers his work. On the fiftieth page we find a reference to the young mans admiration for Joseph Chamberlain, who at that time was the hope and inspiration of British radicalism. He writes an article for the North Wales Observer in which he describes Chamberlain as unquestionably the future leader of the people. In 1884 David Lloyd George went to London to pass his final law examination, and he describes the ceremony of admission as disappointing: DRESS UP old car.

He was fortunate enough to be present at a lively skirmish between Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr. Gladstone. "It was a clever piece of comedy," he said some years afterwards, recalling the scene. "I thought Churchill an impudent puppy, as every Liberal was bound to do but I thoroughly enjoyed liis speech." Then, as now, he could never sufficiently express his admiration for courage in any field of life and on any side. Lloyd George was what was known He opposed the war as a tooth and nail and he entered into a campaign against it throughout the length and breadth of the country. He was now a member of parliament, and although many of his parliamentary friends refused to join him, he went straight on and laced the music in every part of the kingdom: pro-Boe- r. Since John Bright s great fight against the Crimean war nothing of the kind had been seen in England. It is no light tiling to meet, the war passion full front. But none of these fears held back Mr. Lloyd George at this great moment He went everywhere and faced hostile crowds in the very heart of the war country. He faced a violent mob at Glasgow; he defied Mr. Chamberlains own followers at Birmingham; he natrowly escaped death in one of his own boroughs Bangor. Whatever men might think of his views, no one could deny his courage. It was no easy campaign to conduct. The charge of treason was always in the air. "Do you wish the Boers to win? shouted a heckler after one of his most eloquent defenses of the Dutch republicans. He was silent for a moment, then he said slowly and impressively: "God defend the right. Lloyd George speedily made a name for himself in parliament. He was the spokesman of the radicalism of Wales. He championed free trade and all of the ameliorative reforms that were then coming to the front in England. Mr. Asquith took the lead and Lloyd George was always his faithful junior." Chamberlain was the first states- I Your Automobile Troubles Are at My Fingertips man to recognize the existence ff that England which so few statesmen had yet recognized the England of the poor: As the campaign went on Mr. Chamber-lai- n grew bolder and bolder along these lines, He contended that tariffs, and tariffs alone, would provide the money for Old Aage Pensions. He hinted at even vaster booms that were coming to England if she would only turn her back on that sour and pinchbeck old lady Free Trade. Mr. Lloyd George perceived at once the danger of the attack. He, at any rate, knew the deep sighing of the poor." He realized the black abyss which iay below the surface of Englands wealth. He feared the appeal to the hungry mouths of our neglected masses. From that day forward he set out to prove that free trade also could, remedy poverty aye! and remedy it all the more easily because it brought wealth in its train.

He saw the experimental flight of one of the first Zeppelins and the disaster that befell the new monster. Bethmann-Hollwetreated the visitor with distinction. He invited him to dinner at the Zoological Gardens, and Lloyd George, for the honor of England, or perhaps of Wales, did his best to cope with the gigantic glasses of foaming beer: did not talk politics until towards the end of dinner. The con- versation drifted to to the Russian czar had caused a great and grave suspicion King Edwards visit at Reval. That visit ferment in Germany, of Britism intentions. Bethmann-Hollwe- g voiced these suspicions in the frankest manner. "You are trying to encircle us! he cried to Mr. Lloyd George. "You and France and Russia are attempting to strangle us! Mr. Lloyd George assured him of the friendliness of Great Britain towards ail the great powers; but for the moment he refused to be appeased. He thumped the table with his hand. "The Prussian government has only to lift a finger, he cried, "and every living Prussian will die for the Fatherland!" Mr. Lloyd George listened to all this with his characteristic calmness and good But what about the other Gerhumor. he mans?" put at this point. A shadow passed over the face of the Prussian minister. "Oh, they?" he said with a gesture. "They, too, will' come along! From the moment of the declaration of war against England, Lloyd George put away all his doubts and perplexities.
