Wizard Coming

Stars twinkle, the moon beams; thousands upon thousands of people, from gum-chewing Babbitts to omniscient Congressmen, traverse the Atlantic year after year. But the " first man in the world " has never set foot in the United States. According to general press reports, ex-Premier David Lloyd George is due to arrive in the U. S. next month. The Hearst press, however, (not to be outdone) said--on Aug. 25--that he would arrive " in three weeks' time&"i. e., on Sept. 15. At all events, the man who is hated in Germany, loathed in France, detested in Italy,'' whose name is anathema to Central Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, not to mention sundry other places, is coming soon. His visit will be nonpolitical. Sir Alfred Cope, Under Secretary for Ireland (1920-22), in the U. S. to arrange for Mr. Lloyd George's visit, said that Mr. Lloyd George had long been anxious to visit the U. S. and that " he wants to see you Americans who are teaching the world how to do things."
