GEORGE
WAY BE PREMIER
Increasingly Powerful Op-
position Fighting
Asquith.
By ARTHUR S. DRAPER.

London, July 22.-Political ma
neuvring is going on rapidly hear
to-day the prediction that Lloyd
George will be Premier within six
weeks.
The opposition is so confident OF its
strength that it feels it can ahord 10
give the government an opportunity 70
clear itself in the eyes Of the country.
Now that the opposition is beginning
to gain the balance of power, It's ranks
are filing rapidly. =, .,s
Asquith's Cabinet must pul! ltseIl
together and act swiftly and reso-
lutely. This is the verdict OF one OF
the evening papers, and 1t reflects tue
Judgment of many OF the govern
ment's opponents.
LLOYD George, who seems to be con-
sidered Britain's indispensable man.
apparently is able to step aside when-
ever the storm threatens, only TO re-
appear more powerful than ever. lie
has been extremely friendly with Sir
Edward Carson, Winston Churchill, Sir
Henry Dalziel and other leading mem
bers of the Opposition. while under.
stand the King considers him one OF
his ablest ministers. There is no ques-
tion where he stands now with the
people.
Unquestionably the government is
greatly handicapped because the
pressure Of war work permits little
time for the consideration Of past
blunders, while the Opposition Is able
to concentrate its whole energy on the
attack.
A meeting Of the Nationalist men,
bers of the House of Commons to-day
approved the demand of John Redmond
that the Irish Home Rule bill be in
troduced without delay and that 1t
shall not go in any respect beyond the
terms of the settlement agreed upon.
The meeting adjourned until Monday,
by which time 1t is expected Mr.. Red
mond will have been advised Of the
course adopted by the Cabinet at its
session to-day.
The Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Dublin says that opponents OF
Mr. Redmond intend to hold what
they describe as an "anti-partition"
meeting in Phoenix Park tomorrow.
