WOMEN ABUSE AsouiTh.
Suffrasists- Gather to Rail at Former
British Premier.

London, Dec. S.--A small party of
suffragists lent variety today to the
arrival of a group of liberals at the
Liberal Club to decide it's attitude
toward the Lloyd George government.
The women greeted the arrival of the
liberals with the cry Another walt
ard see" They became more agrees
sive when Mr.. Asquith came up and
shouted traitor" and other abusive
terms When Viscount Grey arrived
the women created such a disturbances
that the police had to escort him into
the club.
The crowd, with tho exception oe
The women. gave the former premier
and his colleagues hearty reception.
The Reform Club adopted resolu-
ton expressing confidence in Mr.. AS
quith and also the determination of tho
organization to support the new gov
errment in whatever steps 1t may
take to prosecute the war vigorously.
The Manchester Guardian says that
the report that Premier Ilord-GeorRa'
will attempt an immediate solution OF
the Irish question by means OF an inn
perial conference is not unlikely.
According to the Chronicle, King
George yesterday wrote to former
Premier Asquith offering him an earl
dom and the order of the garter. It
lis understood that Mr.. Asquith asked
permission to decline both honors.
The Evening News, one OF tho
strongest supporters OF Premier Lloyd
George, publishes prominently a pro-
test against the suggestion that A. j.
Balfour be appointed foreign secretary
and, Lord Robert Cecil retained as par
liamentary under-secretary for foreign
affairs It says:
"The great enthusiasm with which,
| the formation ef = new government IS
received everywhere is dampened for
the moment by the persistent rumor
I on apparently good authority that Mr.
Balfour is to go to the foreign office
witt, Lord Robert Cecil. Lord Roberts
record is well known. 1t would be
nothing short. of disastrous for man
who adopted policy leading to the
wea akening of our blockade and the
feeding Of the Germans, to again be
placed in command"
