uoyd-GeOTge Becomes Virtual
Dictator in New Pole.
AS WAR LEADER IS SUPREME
Premier, Lord Miner, Earl curzon,
Andrew eonar Law and Arthur
Henderson Form Cabinent.

London, Dec 1.-The official list of
the new ministry issued here follows
the unofficial forecasts with two or
three minor changes.
Mr.. L1oyd-George, Lord Miner, Earl
Curzon, Andrew Bonar Law and Ar.
thur Henderson form what is official
ly 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
organisation is that It concentrates far
more power In tho hands of the prime
minister than the British system has
ever known before.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges proposals to
Premier AsQuith were for a war coun-
ell Of which the premier should not be
q member, although he should have
the power Of passing on its work. Mr..
Lloyd. George has not hesitated to
place himself in the position more
closely resembling dictatorship than
he was willing to give his predecessor.
The war cabinet will hold daily ses
sions, directing the prosecution of the
war, and the freedom of Mr.. Lloyd
George, Lord Miner and Mr.. Hender-
son from the departmental duties will
allow them to devote all their time to
the war council, the work of the ex-
chequer and government leadership.
The complexion of the new govern
ment is twelve Liberals, fifteen Union
lists, three baborites and the presi-
dents e&~t1le boards of trade and edu-
cation and the shipping controller,
who have been attached to no parties.
A meeting of the privy council will
be held for the swearing In Of the
ministers.

The chancellor transmitted note
to them and asked them to bring it to
the knowledge Of the hostile govern
ments.
The Austrian, Turkish and Bull.
garian governments are making simi-
lar proposals. These proposals have
been transmitted also to the Vatican.
The propositions which they will
bring forward are, according to Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg, appro-
pirate for the establishment of a last
ing peace.
The chancellor, addressing the reich.
stag later, said the propositions which
Germany was bringing forward had
for their object the guarantee of ex-
istence, of honor and of liberty Of
evolution for the four central powers.
Would ParaIyze Austria.
The chancellor said Roumania had
entered the war in order to roll up
the German positions in the East and
those of Germany's allies. At the
same time the grand offensive on the
somme had as it's object to pierce the
German Western front, and the re-
newed Italian attacks were intended
to paralyze Austria Hungary.
"The situation was serious" the
chancellor continued. "But with
Gods help our troops shaped condi-
tions so as to give US security which
not only is complete but still more so
than ever before. The Western front

scarcity We could have lived on our
own supplies, but now our safety is
beyond question"
"To these great events on land"
the chancellor continued, heroic
deeds Of equal Importance are added
BY our submarines. The specter of
famine, which our enemies intended
to appear before US, now pursues
them without mercy. When after the
termination of the first year of the
war, the emperor addressed the na-
ton In public appeal, he said: Hay

Neither our emperor nor our ma
