 Coalition Cabinet to Continue.
 No announcement regarding Mr. Bonar Laws decision has yet been made, and there are some doubts whether he will accept the heavy re : spcnsibility. If he declines, it is cen

 It is now remarked that when Mir. AsQuith was asked in tho nouse Of commons yesterday if food dictator had been appointed. he replied sharp ly:
 "I don't like food dictator Possibilities of General Election. There is much talk tonight of the possibilities of a general election. MT. Boaar Law would first form a cab- inet, if he takes office, as it is neces- sary that the government be carried on, and then appeal to the electors for a ratification of his administration. There is strong opposition, however | to any political campaign, which must | necessarily divert the country's- ener- gies from the war work while it lasted l and the new government may decide 1 to go ahead. with the approval of the 1 house of commons only, and not of the voters
