LATTER STEPPED OUT
AMID MUCH DISCORD
He Has Served at Head of
British Cabinet Since 1908,
Although the Unity of the
Government Was Threat
ened a Year Ago = New
Government Is Not Com
pleted

London. Dec. 6.-The Westminster Ga
zette SAYS that A. Bonar Law has de-
elined the invitation of the king to form
cabinet, and the king has sent Tor
Lloyd George.
After receiving Lloyd George, to whom
presumably he offered the premiership
King George summoned to the palace sew
eral members of the recent cabinet, IN
the hope of solving the crisis. Among
those attending were Bonar Law, Lloyd
Geogre, A. j. Balfour, first lord of the
admiralty, and Arthur Henderson, repre-
sentative of the Labor party
Whether Lloyd George, whose action
led to the disruption of the coalition gov
ernment and the resignation of Asquith
would have any greater success in form
ing ministry than Bonar Law is ques-
tion as yet unanswered Political CORE
spondents predict that Asquith will be
back at the head of the government be-
fore many days.
Asquths decision to resign and advise
the king to summon Andrew Bonar Law
to form a cabinet was taken after a day
of extraordinary political excitement and
activity. There were constant comings
and goings of the political leaders be-
tween Downing street and the various
government departments. Mr.. Asquith
met several Unionist leaders in consulta-
tion, including Earl Curzon, Lord Rob
ert Cecil and the earl of Derby.
Noticeable absentees from this confer
ence We're Viscount Grey, Lewis Har-
court Edwin S. Montagu, the marquis
of Crewe, Reginald McKenna, Walter
Runciman, Lord Buck master, Herbert
Samuel Lord Reading and Arthur Hen
derson The meeting lasted for more
than an hour and it is supposed that Mr..
Asquith explained that he was faced by
almost insuperahle obstacles to the recon
citation of the conflicting interests and
intended to tender his resignation. AL
most Immediately the premier drove to
the palace and had an audience with the
king.
Herbert Henry Asquith became the
premier of Great Britain in 1908, sue
ceeding Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman.
Mr.. Asquith at once began a policy OF
parliamentary, social and con-
stitutional-of radical nature, aided by
David Lloyd George, with whom to-day
he apparently is at odds.
Shortly after the outbreak of the war
the Liberal cabinet of Asquith began to
be assailed by its political enemies,
mainly on the conduct of the war, and
particularly with regard to the naval
branch of the British forces. So bitter
was this campaign that on May 26, 1915,
a coalition cabinet was formed, with As
quith, however, retaining the portfolio of
prime minister.

the year, according to the report of Sec
retary A. Vail Allen of Fair Haven, sub

ship campaign to increase the funds in

Butler of Rutland presiding. There was
the usual attendance at the opening OF

nine state cases A ripple of suppressed
laughter went around the courtroom in
calling the docket when the case OF
Wright against Virtue was reached and
proclaimed by the clerk. The jury were
