The George Who Did It
"I watched Lloyd George fill prac-
tically
raytically every post of high distinction
within the bestowal of the British gov-
ernment during the war," says Mr.
Isaac F. Mareosson in an interesting
account of his interviews and ex-
periences
aperiences with the wonderful little
Welshman who is England's premier.
"Often when figuratively I saw the
flag of distress hung out, heard. the
alarm bells ring and felt the heart of
Britain turn to him for leadership in
her hour of peril and crisis, I realized
that the American phrase, `Let George
do it; fitted him and his astonishing
service better than anything else, I
once told him about this expression,
and he was amused and pleased."
No doubt. And if Mr. Marcosson had
chanced to quote the phrase, with a
similar complimentary application—
as he might almost as aptly and ap-
propriately have done to M. Clemen-
ceau, the George who has served
France so long and so `remarkably,
that wise and gallant old statesman
would also have been amused. Per-
haps—since he knows America bet-
ter
etter than Mr. Lloyd George does—he
may have heard the phrase; but
quite certainly, in any case, he would
know that it originated in his own
country, and that the George who
originally "did it" had lain at rest be.

Cardinal Archbishop Georges d'Am-
boise, prime minister of•King Louis
XII.
A courtier from childhood, a bishop
at fourteen, a conspirator with princes,
a prisoner for two years, a reformer
of legal procedure, army discipline and
taxes, a counselor of generals and
kings and an aspirant for the papacy,
the fifty years of his life were crowd-
ed with wide and various achieve-
ments. The beneficence of the re-
forms he promoted caused. Louis to be
called "the Father of his People," al-
though the credit for them belonged
chiefly to his minister, who was called
"the tongue and soul of the king."
Sometimes, when troublesome af-
fairs
Yfairs were presented for decision, the
king would say neither yes nor no, but
instead:
"Let George do it. He is a man of
experience," and "George," the invalu-
able churchman, statesman and friend,
would do it. "e.
Georges d'Amboise, Cardinal of
Rouen, was,in his prime and pride, a
man of high ambition; but as he lay
dying, attended often by his sovereign,
and oftener by a humble . brother of
themonastery, it was not to King
Louis that he addressed the words so
often quoted:
"Ah, Brother -John! If only'' could
have remained Brother John!"
That was in. 1510. So it is a long

must go to find out who was George

than the uplifting inspiration of de -
