RNearts Of The World
One of the most 'interesting side-
lights on the personality of David
Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Eng••
land, has just come to view 'since the
arrival in America of D. W. Griffith,.
the fantods producer of "Hearts of the
World'': coming to TOWN HALL, CLIN
TON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER'
13TH. Undoubtedly the greatest
statesman in England today, Prime
Minister and Premier of the 'War
'Cabinet directing the participation of
Great Britain in the present campagn,
David Lloyd. George has found time
to devote the greater part of an entire
morning to discussing motion pictures
in general and the production of
"Hearts of the World" iu particular.
Eighteen hours a day is the normal
time Lloyd George places at the dis
posal of this great task, Eating and
sleeping are but subordinate scatters
to his tremendous energy. Busy as
this man is, with demands upon every
second of his time; with admirals, gen-
erals, ambassadors, leaders of par-
liament, members of the house oft,
Lords, emmisaries froKing George;
1 with a thousand and one persons anx-'
,
bus to interview him upon important
matters, 1•t is learnedupon the author-
ity of Mr. Griffith that the Prime
Minister devoted this major portion of
an entire morning to a most interest-
ing 'discourse on the work that Mr,
Griffith had in hand.

Soldiers Parcels.
Duty is frequently collected by the
British authorities on parcels- for the
Canadian soldiers ill the United
Kingdom, due to the fact : that the
parcels are addressed by the Senders
n Canada to private addresses in the
United Kingdom. It is,' therefore
pointed out by the officials of the post
Office department that, in order to se-
cure delivery duty free, friends in Can-
ada sending gift parcels to the Cana-
dian soldiers should address theme to
regimental addresses instead of to
private addresses,
