A high compliment was paid to Mr. Lloyd George on

Monday, when President Wilson, M. Clemenceau, and Signor Orlando addressed him a letter "earnestly begging" him to remain in Paris "until the chief „questions connected with the Peace are settled." This was, they said, "imperative, in order that the world may wait no longer for Peace than is actually necessary." With his help, they added, the work could be done in a fortnight. The Prime Minister cannot be in two places at ones. He cannot be in Paris smoothing the road to Peace and in London stilling the tempest raised by impatient miners. It is clearly his duty to deal with the larger task, on which the future not of Great Britain alone ha of the world depends.
