 LONDON, Dec. 7.-David Lloyd George at Buckingham Palace to- night formally kissed the kings hands on his acceptance of the of flee of Prime minister and first lord of the treasury This indi- cates that tho new premier sees his way to the formation of an administration, and he probably was able to submit 10 the king a preliminary list of some of the proposed ministers.
 Doubtless much remains to be done in the way of the allocation of the new posts, and so far as the public is concerned the per sonnel of the ministery is a matter of pure speculation. But the pre- mier still has plenty of time be- fore he has to meet parliament Tuesday, to complete details and he will doubtless be in a position 10 present to the house of com mons his new national ministery. representing all parties with the possible exception of the national istS. and. ii common report is to he trusted, comprising a strong business element.
 Missivings 10 a large part have disappeared, mainly owing to the fact tha: ne has been able to gain the support of the labor party by an offer of two min isterial posts and three under secretarvships.
 With the vote of the laborites. together with the bulk of the unionists and a large section of the liberals demanding more ener- getic prosecution of the war, Mir. Lloyd George probably will com mand a working majority in the house of commons. while fur thor asset will be the benevolent neutrality even of the supporters of the late cabinet in the national interests
 Possibly many parliamentary and ministerial traditions will he jettisoned for MT. Lloyd George has reputation for courage and holiness and Is rot a great stick Ter for tradition. Therefore. some surprise may appear in the dis tri pution of the new offices. What already Is apparent. however. is that the new ministerv will not. as was at first expected. be q mere glorified war councinl of only a feY members. but a min istery on the old lines. but much smaller than the Asquith admin istration.
 How Mir. Lloyd George proposes to get over the difficulty of his own making when he declared that the premier was too occupied to be able to preside over the war council. IS still one of tke proO- lems unsolved
 The greatest interest centers in the personality of the new foreign secretary. Two names arg men

BRITISH PLACE
 RESTRICTIONS
 LIN OUR TRADE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-New re- strictions on American trade with Rus sia were announced today by the Brit ish embassy in a circular setting forth conditions to govern shipments passing through blockade lines into Sweden, through which couptry most American exports to Russia are handled. Aside from goods destined for the Russian government, only 34 commodities can be sent to Russia under the regulations, and rigid conditions must be complied with before letters of assurance for the shipments will be issued.
 The step is believed here to be the outcome of a conflict in the trade pol icies heretofore followed by Great Brit ain, Russia and Sweden and is under stood to have as it's object the limita- ton of Russia's imports through Sweden to necessities, particularly war goods. Sweden, smarting under the British blockade and rationing measure. is said to have taken steps to retaliate which resulted in the more stringent regulations announced today.
 The list of goods for which the Brit ish embassy will issue letters of assur- ance to American exporters to Russia and Finland, includes the-following for which such assurances are given under the present regulations: binoculars, medical instruments and thermometers. sulphur tartaric and citric acids. dyes, varnishes, photographic plates, phos- phorus. machinery except lathes, carbo- nate of ammonia, blue copperas tsul phate of copperas), vegetable seeds. paraffin. oils, tar, wax, colophany (rosin), American cotton, salt and rice
 The remaining articles on the Inst have not been subject to such regula tions before and officials are uncertain what will be the effect of their inclusion in the group which may be shipped un- der letters of assurance. Most of them are produced from raw material usually exported from Great Britain. They are: metals except lead rubber leather, cas- tor oil graphite, jute sacks. wool. twine, shellac. cocoanuts. Egyptian cotton, wooden materials and pepper.
 Letters of assurance will be granted only if the goods are consigned to the aktiebolaget transito, Stockholm. which arranges all Swedish transit licenses. This company must first have granted such a license and must have complete
 information as to the goods. gross and net weight, value. the name Of the sender. the shipping line by which the 'consignments are to be transported. and the name and address of the consignee in Russia or Finland, together with the original bill of lading and indorsed copy.
 The Swedish American line. the Swedish America Mexico line. and the Scandinavian American line are named for the shipment of goods under this scheme and five New York banks have been suggested as agents and financiers. Freight must be prepaid to the point of discharge in Scandinavia and must carry an agreement that if anything interferes with its transit it may be stored. sent by a different route, or re- turned to the United States or one oi the allied countries. always at the eN- pense of the owners.

 LIVING, INVESTIGATION |S ON

Every federal agency with even q re- mote relation to the situation was called on today to play it's part in the great machinery of investigation which the government has put into operation.
 With the investigation in it's infancy. officials were unwilling to predict to- night where 1t might lead.
 Primarily the general investigation by the government will be confined to foodstuffs and coal. it is said, but If leads are uncovered indicating that other commodities, such as leather and clothing. are affected. they will be fol- lowed. Cases have been found where families had stocked their cellars with q supply sufficient to last from two to three years. bought al top prices. thereby contributing td the rise and diminishing the available supply for others. The advance in the price of beans Is said to have been caused, to some extent. by unusually large ship ments of canned beans to Belgium by the commission for relief in Belgium. Butter has advanced to a price to which 1t might be normally expected to advance. the investigation has dis closed. but eggs are said to be unwar- rantably high.

 It has been ascertained that the amount of foreign gold which has poured into the United States since the war, about $500. 000, 900 has direct bearing on the situation, an increase of about IS per cent per capita, since the war started, also tends unmistakably. it Is claimed. toward an upward level of prices.

They listened to num- Der of addresses by women and men deploring the seeking by women of political equality and urging that they can be of more and greater ser vice to the nation in other fields.
 Most of the speakers. including Mrs. Arthur NJ.

CABINET CRISIS ,,,''i 'Uijj'v1ER

tioned-Mr. Lloyd George himself and Lord Curzon.
 Lord Northcliff. who has dis avowed any intention of entering the cabinet. said in an interview with the Associated press this evening:
 T strongly urged Mir. Lloyd George to take the foreign secre- taryship l consider that he is cmlneatly fitted, particularly in view of his Knowledge of America and his sympathetic feeling for the American. people and institu- tons. We are through with those who knew little of America of for eign conditions in general. and Mir. Lloyd George is the only man available. having in an eminent degree the qualities needed in handling the foreign situation. am hopeful that he will see his way to accepting this view"
 The announcement in the court circular tonight-that he had &C., cepted the post of prime minister and first lord of the treasury seems to show that MT. Lloyd George has no pl esent intention of taking the foreign portfolio. and this apparently leaves the field to Lord Curzon.
 One of the most interesting matters still to he discussed is the attitude of the Irish party. Mir. Redmond now has perhaps the greatest opportunity he ever had to secure settlement of the home rule question. The position of the new cabinet will not be so secure in the house of commons as to be able to disregard the Irish vote; hence the nationalists will have an opportunity to bargain. of which they are likely to take full advantage.
 It Is believed that the crisis will be surmounted without the need CT fear of general election. which the country would regard as a great disaster in the midst of war. when So many electors are serving in the field.
