Count Leopold von JJorclitold,

olgn Affairs, whoso nolo to Servla
brought on war, resigns.
Tlio Germans claim to have driven

WHAT THE WAR IS
ENGLAND Is now turning to
Lloyd George, tho great Liber
al labor leader to holp her In
tho war muddle. Ho Is tho ono
prominent man In England who lias
seemed to grasp tho significance of
tho great upheaval.
From tlio beginning Lloyd Georgo
nlono comprohended what tho war
meant. Listen to this, from an early
speech! tj
This Is not n passing shower.
It Is thp deluge. It Is' n con
vulsion of nature. It Is a cy
clone winch Is tearliiK up by Us
roots the ornamental plaifts of
modern gocloty and wrecking
Bomo of tho flimsy trestle
bridges of modern civilization.
It Is an earlhntioko which Is
upheaving tho very rocks of
European life; It Is ono of thoso
BOlsmlc disturbances in which
nations leap forward or fall
backward generations lu u sln
glo bound. All this chattering
about relaxing n rulo or suspend
ing a custom Is out of place.
