LLOYD GEORGE'S TOUR.

AMERICAN DISQUIETUDE.

A HARBINGER OF WAR. A. and N.Z. NEW YOKE. Nov. 5. Editorial comment on the result of Mr. Lloyd George's tour varies. Some newspapers mix words of personal esteem with expressions of doubt as to his inliuence in the United States. Others declare that the ex-Prime Minister had an eye to the coming British elections, and his remarks were not so much addressed to Americans as to English voters. The Chicago Tribune strikes an extremely pessimistic note. It says: "When Mr. Lloyd George came over we did cot exactly know why he had come, but we know now. He has persuaded the British people that he is their next Premier, and Americans that when Britain has gone to war with France, the United States should cast its great might on the side of Britain." The New York Tribune says : —" Nobody doubts that Mr. Lloyd George's heart is in the right place, but it seems a pity hi 3 tongue says so many things that are not so." The Boston Herald says: " The personal reasons which inspired his trip were those which might move any other man, but concerning what he has accomplished, events will have to answer the question."
