Lloyd-G George Kisses Kings Hand, Wins Labor's Sup port; Starts Cutting Red Tape to the Bone.
WISE MERCHANTS TO
 REPLACE POLITICIANS
But Every Party Except Ma tionalists Is. To Be Repre- sented-A Small Working Force Is His Slogan.
(By Review Leased Wire )

LONDON, Dec. z. - David Lloyd George at Buckingham Paalce tonight formally kissed the kings hands on his acceptance of the office of prime min ister and first lord of the treasury. This indicates that the new premier sees his way to the formation of an administration, and he probably was ary list of some of the proposed min isters.
 Picks Business Men.
 Doubtless much remains to be done in the way of the allocation of the new posts, and so far as the house is con cerned the personnel of the ministry is matter of pure speculation. But the premier still has plenty of time before he has to mee- parliament Tues day. to complete details and he will to the House of Commons his new na- tional ministry, representing all par ties with the possible exception of the and, if common report is to be trusted. comprising a strong busi- ness element.

 MisgivingS to a large extent have mainly owing to the fact that he has been able to gain the sup port of the labor party by an offer of two ministerial posts and three under

 Red Tape Exits.
 Possibly many parliamentary and traditions will be jettison- ed, for MT. Lloyd-George has a reputa- ton for courage and boldness and is not a great sticker for tradition. There fore some surprises may appear in the of the new offices. What already is apparent. however. is that the new ministry will not, as was at first assumed, be a mere glorified war council of only a few members. but l ministry on the old lines, but much smaller than the Asquith administra- ton.
 How MT. Lloyd-George proposes to get over the difficulties of his own mak ng when he declared that the premier was too occupied to be able to preside over the war council. is still of the problems to be solved.

 German Reply Weak
 In official quarters the German eX- planation is regarded as weak and un- satisfactory. no weight being attached to the statement that the Arabia was painted like a transport and was fol- lowing a route usually taken by trans ports and that the submarine com mander saw many Chinese but no women and children aboard her.
 May Cause Break
 It is realized. however, that if off cial data finally establishes the inno- cent character of the vessel. in vew of the Sussex note. virtually one course of action remains open to the United States and that would not be taken until every possible opportuni- ty had been given to prove Germa- ny's position.
 Doubs German Faith
 Secretary Lansing refused all com ment today beyond the publication of the note. The temporary quietude in submarine operations which followed the pledges in the Sussex case appar- ently has been dispelled and officials are recalling the belief then announc- ed that submarine warfare is utterly incompatible with the principle of humanity. the long established and in- controvertible rights of neutrals. and the sacred immunities of non-combat- ants"
