with the requirements of the home
stead law.
In all other particulars the bill
agreed upon was the bill completed by
the subcommittee.
Representative Ferris introduced in
the house the bill on which the COM
mittee has agreed, and as soon a print
ed this bill will be referred to the at
torney general, secretary Of the Inter-
DIR and secretary Of Agriculture for
comment and suggestions.
1t is not expected they will now pro-
pose material changes of policy, but
the committee before reporting the
bill to the house want it to have the
approval of the three departments.

London. Dec. 1o.--Tbe official list Of the
nov ministry issued tonight follows the
unofficial forecasts with two or three
minor changes. Mr. Lloyd-Ceorge, Lord
Miner. Earl Curzon, Andrew Bonar Law
and Arthur Henderson form what Is off
cially termed the war cabinet while the
others. who ordinarily have been desig-
mated as cabinet ministers. are called
heads OF departments.
An important point in this novel orgari.
zation is that IL concentrates far more
power In the hands of the prime minister
than the British system has ever known
before. MI Lloyd-Ceorgcs proposals to
Premier SOUTH were for war council.
Of which the premier should not be a
member, although he should have tho
power Of passing on its work. Mr.. Lloyd
George has not hesitated 10 place him
self in a position more closely resembling
q dictatorship than he was willing to
give his predecessor.
TO HOLD DAILY SESSIONS.
The war cabinet will hold daily sessions,
directing tho prosecution OF the war, ana
the freedom OF Mr.. Lloyd-George, Lord
Miner and MIR. Henderson from depart
mental duties will allow them to devote
all their time to the war council. The
work Of the exchequer and tho govern
ment leadership in the House Of CONF
mons will absorb most OF Mr.. Bonar
Laws time. and attendance on the House
of Lords will necessitste Earl Curson's
absence from the council frequently So
that, Mr. Lloyd George. Lord Miner and
Mr.. Henderson will be the chief directors
Of the war.
REALITY A CABINET OF FOUR.
For practical purposes the government
will be by cabinet of four. Whether
there is any plan for meetings If all
the heads of departments OF cabinet rank
| Is nT known yet. but councils in which
the ministers Of foreign affairs. war and
the admiralty participate with the others
whose duties directly concern war meas
ures will be certain.
A meeting Of the privy council will be
! held tomorrow for the swearing in OF
, the ministers. The prime minister will
make a speech in the House of Commons
Tuesday. in which be will declare the
policy of the new government and bill
will be introduced enabling the members
TO take their seats without going through
the formalty OF a new election. which
the law demands when a member accepts
position under the crown.
Tho complexion Of the new government
is Il liberals. Is uniontsts, three laborites
and the presidents OF the boards Of trade
and education and the shipping control.
Ter, who have been attached to no par.
ties.
! Tho most important new officials are
the food and shipping controllers. Baron

Alps TO the Danube. Just where it, will
stop and face about. and with its Russian
allies, make a stand against the TeutoniC
