ing of the World War, succeeded
in holding the position until the end.

He served in many capacities, proving invaluable in all. It became
natural for officials or people anywhere, having difficult problems at
hand, to send for Lloyd George to settle them. Once 200,000 miners of
Wales struck and refused to work again until certain conditions were
granted by their employers. Lloyd George had really nothing to do with
the case. But the labor officials spent a long time trying to arrive
at some agreement, and failed completely. At last they sent for Lloyd
George to assist them. He traveled down from London to the miners'
camp and in one day reached a settlement and left the men in good humor
back at their work again.

He was impatient at delay and slowness of action. So when the British
soldiers went into the trenches to fight, he determined that they
should have as many and as good guns and shells as the enemy. He
decided that the government should have all the money it needed to back

necessities.

With his characteristic straightforward manner, he brought the problems

powerful, searching speeches. He thus secured all that was desired.
At the close of the war, he was the chief power in England and whatever

little girl of twelve years. His two sons fought in France. Nor did
he forget his aged uncle now past ninety, who staked all that he had
for the boy's education. As Premier of England, Lloyd George gladly
welcomed him to his royal home. No other name in the past few years,
save that of President Wilson, has been so often and so affectionately
upon the lips of people in every land as has the name of David Lloyd
George. He is a hero worthy of any boy's admiration and emulation. He
has made some glorious pages in English history. At the peace table,
in all his kindliness and power, he determined to see justice meted out
to poor, unfortunate people in all lands.

Georges Clemenceau, Premier of France, is another who stands for
justice and liberty. He has upheld these virtues with s
