LONDON. Dec. 7.-G0:55 p. m)
David Lloyd-George at Buckingham
palace tonight formally kissed the
kings hands on his acceptance Of the
offices of prime minister and first
lord of the treasury. This indicates
that in an unexpectedly short time
the now premier sees his way to the
formation of an administration and
he probably was able to submit to the
king preliminary draft list of the
principal proposed ministers.
Doubtless mu.h remains to be done
in the way of the ALLEGATION of the
new posts and, so far as the pubic Is
concerned, the personnel of the min
istry is "A matter of pure speculation.
But the premier stil has plenty of
