MODERN ST. GEORGE
MR. CHURCHILL’S HUMOR LONDON, April 24. Speaking at a St. George’s. Day banquet, Mr. Winston Churchill amusingly pictured the modern St. Georgy 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 the 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 would be referred to Geneva, the dragon meanwhile reserving all rights. Finally. St. George and the dragon would be photographed, with the maiden inset.
