MEMOIRS OF THE WAR
LLOYD GEORGE’S BOOK ME CHURCHILL’S REVIEW. LONDON, October 19. The opinion that the Irish rebellion unintentionally helped the Empire is expressed by Mr Winston Churchill, in his review of the second volume of Lloyd George’s war memoirs. It was originally intended that Mr Lloyd George should accompany Lord Kitchener to Russia, but he remained behind to attempt to solve the Irish question, which he ultimately flung to the scrapheap in disgust, according to the reviewer. Mr Churchill says he considers that Mr Lloyd George did not desire the Premiership in 1916 until the last moment, and thought it beyond his reach. He would have been contented to manage the war under Mr Asquith’s leadership, but, instead of receiving the authority ho deserved, he was sent to the War Office, where he had to bear the odium of every failure.
