Ixindon, Dec. LTi. (United Tress by
Mail.) The cataclysm of a world war
has forced England to apply real
American methods to her govommon.
Lloyd George's reorganized cabinet is
but a glorified American city council
under a commission form of govern
ment. England, lis a nation, was faced
with exactly the same problems that
confronted hundreds of American ci
ties before the advent of the Galves
ton and Pes Moines plans for admin
istering municipal affairs. Great
Britain bad a council that was un
wiehlly; its decisions were taken aft
er ridiculously long debates and tho
mistakes it made could not be traced
to any responsible source.
Such was the condit ion of affairs in
told of the lirst meeting be-
tween Mr. Archbold and John J
? D. Rockefeller. S
! It was about the year 1S72 J
that Archbold met Rockefeller. t
s Describing this meeting, Mr.

there was a gathering of men s
