BONAR LAW Is
BRITISH PREMIER
Resignation of Asquith Has Been
Accepted by the King
LAW MAY NOT ACCEPT PLACE
Unionist Leader Has Been rendered
Position Made Vacant by AS
outfits Resignation

London, Dec 6.-The govern
ment crisis found a solution last
night, which up to the hour of It's
announcement was considered the
least probable OF practical alterna-
tives.
Herbert II. Asquith resigned the
premiership which he has held
through eight years of stormy do
nestle and foreign history
The unionist leader, Andrew Bon
ar Law, was summoned to the pal
ace Immediately after Mr.. Asquith
had departed and the king offered
him the prime minister's commits
sion, which he had just accepted
from Mr. Asquith's hands.
The real basis for the political
crisis which has upset Great Britain
is a conflict between eastern and
western strategy. The westerners
favor concentrating the whole man
power on the western front. forcing
the Germans to fight out the war
in France and Flanders.
They argue that the lines of COM
munication to the western front are
short and secure, and that they de-
your less ships, while the deviation
of the forces to the eastern theatre
would place an intolerable strain
on the depleted shipping.
The eastern school is in favor of
standing on the defensive on the
western front and taking the of
fensive from Saloniki, whittier they
propose to send a huge army-be-
tween a half million and a million
men.
The westerners regard this as
lunacy which is only too likely to
lead to disaster by playing the Ger
mans game, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's supreme aim being to
shift the center of gravity from
France to the Balkans. The Somme
offensive is one thing he breads.
David LloydGeorge supports the
fasteners.

UNION MEN DON'T SHARE
IN SANTA FE BONUS

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway com
pany today authorized a distribu--
tion equal to 10 per cent of year s
pay to employees in the service Of
the system for at least two years
and whose annual compensation
does not exceed $500. Union men
do not share. The explanation is:
The employees whose wages are fix
ed by an agreement of organized
labor are barred from this bonus.
President Ripley decided that these
men who threatened to strike for
higher wages, who refused to arbi-
trate and who went to President
Wilson with their troubles, did not
show a loyalty to the company that
is manifested by men and women in
other lines of the service. Not a
few of the engineers would be bar
red from the bonus anyway, be-
cause their salaries exceed $500 a
year

KANSAS COURTS

Too Much Confusion of Technical

DISTRICT JUDGE TELLS WHY
Sweeping Changes in Handling OF
Legal Matters Are Essential
Says Judge Ruppenthal
His Ideas

Topeka, Dec 6-The biggest re.
form Kansas needs right now is a
change in the court system Of the
state This is the view of ]. c.
Ruppenthal. judge of the district
court in Russell county. In letter
to Governor Capper today, Judge
Ruppenthal indicts the Kansas court
system, which he says is better
than most states but not good
enough for Kansas.
I'VE have too many courts, too
many judges, too many different
kinds of courts, Judge Ruppen-
thai said. eve have too complicated
procedure, too many court officials,
too little flexibility, too little pro-
vision for adequately doing the
court work fully at all times and
places under all circumstances. We
have too many unframed, inexper-
fenced Judges too many courts
with no legal training We let one
judge work ESQ to 300 days in
year, and twenty-five miles away is
another who works only seventy
five or one hundred days, it is said
If work piles up for any reason in
one district, we have no provision
to reduce it, even if the next Judge
has nothing to do.
