BRITISH PREMIER RESIGNS

After Resignation OF Asquitn---
Forming New Cabinet

London. David LoydGeorge has
overthrosn the AsQut,h cabinet and
will become prime minister himself
The new government will be coalition
like the old one, bu, probably with
out the same measure OF harmonious
support which attended the formation
of the first coalition government, be-
cause its birth has created additional
factional differences.
This result has emerged from an
other day Of active and hurried party
conferences and a d, y OF intense sus-
pense and interest throughout the
country
The court circular announcing the
political audiences and conferences at
the palace adds:
The king gave further audience
to Mr. Bonar Law, who intimated that
he was unable to form an administra
ton Thereupon the ksmg summoned
Mr. Lloyd George. who at his males
tvs request, undertook to form an ad-
m!nistratlon.
