Our Greatest Man.
Lord Birkenhead, in an address to the University of Minnesota, referred to Mr. Lloyd George as "The greatest living Englishman, a man who, by disposition hates war. No man in England," he said, "would have made or did make a greater effort to avoid the struggle. He was one of the most tenacious, resourceful, and brilliant men. I never knew him in low spirits, he radiated confidence and gladness. For these reasons my opinion is that he is the greatest living Englishman." How we are Swindled.

Grimace.
"Mr. de Maupassant is one of the most whole-hearted story-tellers,of this country in which so many and such good stories have been told. His strong, simple and natural language has a flavour of the sort that makes us love him dearly. He possesses the three great qualities of the French writer: First, clearness; then, again, clearness; "He and lastly, clearness.... is more varied in his types, richer in his subjects, than any other story-teller of our time. There hardly exists an imbecile or a vagabond who is not to his pur pose and whom he does not put as, he passes into his bag. "He is the greatest painter of the human grimace. He paints without hate and without love, without anger and without pity, the miserly peasants, drunken sailors, lost women, cheap clerks dazed by their toll, and all those humble beings whose humility is as devoid of beauty as of virtue He makes them live, but he does not judge them. His indifference is equal to that of nature;frastonishes it irritates me. I would like to know what is the inner belief and feeling of this pitiless, robust and good-natured man.” g
