Some newspapers mix words of personal esteem with expressions of doubt regarding his influence in America. Others declare that the Welshman had his eye on the coming British elections and his remarks were not so much addressed to Americans as to the English voter. The “'Chicago Tribune’’ strikes an extremely pessimistic nolo. It says: When .Mr Lloyd George came over, y.e did not exactly know for what he had come, hut we know now. He has persuaded the British that lie is their next Premier and the Americans that when Britain lias gone to war with Franc® America should east its great might on the side of Britain. The “New York Tribune" says that nobody doubts that- Mr Lloyd George’s heart is in the right place, but it seems a pity that his tongue should say so many things that are not so. The “Boston Herald” remarks that the personal reasons which inspired the trip were those which might move any other man. hut, concerning what ho accomplished. events will have to answer the question.
