BRITISH CABINET IN CRISIS;
TO FORM NEW MINISTRY
ton of the War-Lloyd-George
Would Quit.

London.-Premier Asquith has de-
cided to advise the king to consent to
the reconstruction of the government.
This was officially announced Sun
day night.
There is nothing suggesting that
Mr.. Asquith contemplates abandon
ing the premiership, or that any res
ignations are impending, and for the
moment the only important differ
ence in the personnel of the min
istry seems to be the readmission of
Sir Edward Carson.
LIoyd-George Would Quit.
David Lloyd-George. who evidently
is the moving spirit in the whole
crisis, has not, it is now definitely
stated, offered his resignation to Pre-
mier Asquith, but he has threatened
to resign in certain contingencies.
The political correspondents concur
that the crisis will result in the con-
stitution of a small war council of
four or five members, exclusive of
naval and military advisers, for a
more vigorous prosecution of the war.
Their information, however, regard
ing the personnel of this council diff
fers considerably regarding certain
prospective members, with reference
especially to Mr.. Asquith's inclusion
therein.

OF TRIP TO FLA.

Writing to the Plant City Courier,
a Michigan man says:
In response to your request, Will
give YOU a short description OF our
recent trip from the North. The par
ty consisting of myself, wife, and two
sons left our home in Watervllet'
Mich. October 4th. and made run
to Cleveland, Ohio, in three days,
without incident, over mostly goou
roads, and stopped with relatives I'LL
October 21st. when we again took the
trail for the South. We were soon out
of Ohio and and headed for Pittsburg'
pa The roads over the Allegheny
mountains are all maccadam and IN
fine condition, and the scenery is gran,
the forests being clothed in their au'
tumn garb. In making the ascent OF
the mountains we made one craze
seven miles long and another hve
long. but Henry" took them all ana
never missed snort Il neglected to
say we made the trip not with an au-
tomobile, but with a Ford.
Our next point of interest was
Gettysburg, where we laid over one
half day and made tour of the bat
tlefeld. which were very interesting
as explained by the guide
The next city was Baltimore, the
part of the city which we passed
through being very clean and attrac-
tive. We next came to Washington
ID. G.. We had intended to take din
ner with the President but he was
out on one of his speaking tours, and
when we drove up to the kitchen door
they told us to move on and started
to call the dogs, so we moved and
contented ourselves with making
tour of the Capitol grounds, and start
ed on our way to Richmond, va.
Broad street of Richmond is fine
street, having double driveway effect
with lawns and flowers through the
center. We next came to Raleigh, N.
c. and on to Columbia S. c. AT
Camden, S. c., we crossed the path OF
the tornado of last July. The High
way and railroad bridges were both
washed away and we had to ferry the
river.
At Savannah Ga, we began to see
the first tropical vegetation At Dari-
en-, Ca, we ran against a snag in the
shape of bridge four miles long and
no other way of crossing, so we had
to plank down three dollars for the

From Daytona we headed for Plant
and pushed across four rivers and
lot of swamp land. When we got
across this we made tracks for Jack
sonville, Fla which we reached in
due time. and from there to st. Aug
Justine and Daytona. 1t is needless
for me to say anything about these
cities, as you know more about them
than ! can tell, but it is here that we
saw the first oranges and grapefruit
growing, which was grand sight for
the rest of the party, as they had
never seen anything like it before.
City, arriving here November 9th,
somewhat the worse for wear, but still
in the ring, and were received by our
friends and neighbor of Michigan, F.
