Had Confidence in George.

Lldyd-George first financed the war as chancellor. Then, as munitions minister, he made up the shell shortage. Recently he settled the Irish question. Then he was the head of the war department. Now he is premier. A convict came out of iiil recently. A friend met him fit the gate. The convict, as he shook hands, said: “Well, mate, wot’s happened since I got tucked away twenty years ago?” “There’s war been declared,” said the friend. “Yes, what else?” “We’ve got a pew king.” “So Edward’s gone, eh? Who’s took his job?” “George.” The convict gave a chuckle of pleasure. “Good old Lloydy,” he continued. “I alius knowed he’d come out on top in the end.” *
