LLOYD GEORGE'S MOYY.""
Much amnaement, has been caused -in polition circles in England by the dis closure of the fact that the much-advert ised film of the life of Mr. Lloyd George is being produced by a company of which all the directors, formerly bore German names. Two formerly named Boson- baum now call themselves Rowson, Wohlgemuth becomes Wilmot, Gelberb Gilbert, and Koppel Kay. Mr. Hodyand Kipling must have been much troubled over the discovery, for he believes tant trade with people of German birth should ba 'próhibited" for twenty-five years, faj at is through trade that the virus of Ger an infection may be lätroduced inta English politics.
