CONSCR|PTION IS ROCK
THAT SPLITS. CABINET
Asquith's Illness May Compel
Resignation Which Would
End Deadlock
By Ed L. Keen.

London, Oct. 20.-The Premier AS
quith s illness may prove so serious as
to compel his resignation, thus ending
the deadlock in the cabinet, was the
growing belief here today.
Following Lloyd Georges audience

will be premier if Asquith, liberal, re-
tires his majesty today received Sir
Edward Carson, resigned attorney gem
eral
These conferences were widely in
terpreted as meaning that general
cabinet shakeup is at least considered.
\ Though it is not thought that
France is making suggestions regarding
the British ministry, it is believed the
allied military policy was discussed in
yesterdays cabinet session, which was
attended by French Minister of War
Millerand and French Ambassador
Cambon.
That Asquith is losing his influence
is conceded. Even many of his friends
openly stated that, though he is ca
pable administrator, he is not the man
for the present emergency.
The present cabinet deadlock is over
the conscription issue. The pro.con
scriptionists have finally agreed upor
plan exempting workers engaged il
munition making, general manufacture
ing, exporting, mining and railroading
This however, provides that the country
shall be divided into districts and that
conscription shall be used in the dis
