Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'Did you read Lloyd George's speech the other day introducing the remark about the German potato bread — "I fear that potato bread more than all Von Kluck's strategy". Although, as you have seen, I don't often read the newspapers, I was glad when Kirk pointed that out to me. Most of the people one hears rather laugh at that bread "wheeze", but I rather think Lloyd George's is the wiser view.'
