LONDON. D60. 8-The political
writers in the Loudon morning papers generally emphasize the importance of Mr. Lloyd-Georgefs success with the Laborites. His offers to them' during the- .prolonged coferenceg are stated -to have included, in addition to five or six ministerial posts, the establlshrpent of a labor ministry, the inclusion of a Labor delegate at lhe- eventual peace conference, andI a voice in all matters relating to peace. it is said in certain quarters that some of these concessions were demanded as part of the price of ad- hesion, and that the Laborltes re- quired government oontrol of mines alld shipping during the war, and that it should take possession of all vacant land for production.
The statements of the political
correspondents further show that Mr. Lloyd-George was prepared to adopt
ll sweeping measure of state control, embracing all industries and means/ of transportation on land or sea,/ so that the nation’s man powerI could be directed to the utmost pro-I duction of munitions, the mainten- ance ot necessary export trade, the fullest development of fc-od cultiva- tion by state organisation and the control of agricultural operations.
The conference, it is said, pressed
the Premier with the questions “Conscription of lalbor and the con- scription of wealth.” and it ihjun- derstood that he answered assuring
,the conference that his ollcv would l
D - .
be in the direction of regulating the work of the whole manhood of th

ceeded in striking chords and tones in a manner that attracted the atten- tir.-ll of the Duke who was himself a Brest patron of music. He' persuaded the child’s father to encourage the talent and as a result Young Handel was placed under the tutorshlp of Jachan. The lad made wonderful progress and when only eleven years of age had composed six sonatas which show both skill and feeling. He readily mastered all the musical instruments of his day, giving pre- ference to the organ the majestic tones of which appealed to him. ill his ele'venth_ year he was sent to Ber- lin where he studied under Father Arloste. a distinguished master of the clavier. Later Ile went to Hamburg which at this time was at the height of its musical prosperty_ Here he wrote his Passion Oratorio. a work which disappeared for a long time but was ultimately found and publish ed by the German Handel Society in 1860, nearly 100 years after Han- del's death. He afterwards visited italy where he wrote the italian Opera Roderlgo, which won for him immediate popularity. The leading role was sullg by the famous Vit- torla's Tesl and such was her admi- ration for the composer that she fol- lowed him to Venice. This was his lnost successful work up to this time

PAPER BY MR. WATKIB.
The feature or the evenins was the
reading by Mr. Watkis of a palwl' UH the life and works of the great com- poser. After a brief reference to the fact that Handel was a German “lid that Germans and Germsnism were at_ s considerable dipcount Bl- Present- Mr. Watkis reminded his heurerf that the Germany of l~lano'el‘s time was not the Germany ol today. that Handel was the subject of a dukedmll whose overlord afterwards became Ki-ng of England and that he. Handel had spent the greater part of his life ami achieved his greatest s\1CC€'BB6B in England. But, of more importance than this was-the tact that the lite of every gl-egg, .manpolo matter what his nationality, was a fit subielll I0’ consideration. "We owe all that is belt and noblest in music." “Id Mf- Waikis. “to German Master musici- ans.

A year's leave of absence here' gave him all opportunity to visnt Eng- 'lalld where he wrote the opera Rinal- dof Two years later another leave of absence, granted on condition tllat he return within a reasonable time gave lllm an opportunity to visit Eng- land. Here he found favour with Queen Anne by writing all ode for her birthday. She comnlisslonell him to write a Ts Deum to conllnemolnte
the Peace of Utrecht.
This work made a great hit and he
was rewarded for it by a life pension of two hundred pounds.
Success followed success and his
work brought him not only public favour and the honorary degree' ol Doctor of Music from Clxford lllll- versity. but considerable wealth.
He gave up writing, operas ami de-
voted his remaining years to sacred music. His grandest oratorios. “rlaul' "israel in ESl"Dl." the "HBU°¢°¥`m chorus" followed in rapid succession.
lnvited to Dublin by the Duke oi Devonshire, than Lord Lieutenant oi_ ireland, he visited that city in 1742` and while there wrote the famous
"Messiah" in the brief space of twen- ty-one days, and dedica ed it to the ll-ish people. Mr. Watkis here gave a graphic and masterly analysis of this great work, one of the greatest in the whole range ct musical undef- takings, giving an excellent and in-
Qplring exposition on the loftlnell 0f no theme, and the appropriateness of fthe music to the subjects touched
upon.

He' concludes by inviting the Cardinal to study the situation from n social and economic viewpoint.
Replying on November 10. Cardinal
Mercier recalls tile promise made by Baron von Huchne. and subsequently confirmed by Baron von Der Goltz. and saysl-
"The understanding was explicit
and entirely without time limit that 'young people have noth.ln'g to fear that -they may be sent. to Germany. either to be' enrolled in the army or employed at forced :iubor_’ This en- gagement has been violated every day a thousand times for fifteen days."
in answer to General von Bisslng's
charge that England and France' have done such things, Cs/rdinsl Mercier reminds him that he should look to those countries for revenge. not towards peaceful and dlsarmod population.
Cardinal Mercier than says that if.
