MODERN ST. GEORGE
MR. CHURCHILL'S HUMOUR LONDON, April 24 Speaking at a St. George's Day banquet, Mr. Winston Churchill amusingly pictured the modern St. George arriving at Cappadocia, accompanied by a secretariat instead of a horse, and armed with several flexible formulas, instead of with a lance. After a welcome by tho local branch of the League of Nations Union, Mr. Churchill continued, St. George would propose a round-table conference with the dragon, with whom he would make a trade agreement, and would lend the dragon a lot of the Cappadocian taxpayers' money. The maiden's release woi.ld bo referred to Genev-r, the dragon meanwhile reserving all rights. Finally, St. George and the dragon would be photographed, with the maiden inset.
