statement is carried by the semi-of-
ficial Westminster Gazette, which
prints today an article believed to be
from high official sources, saying that
Law refused the opportunity to form
the cabinet, at the invitation OF the
king.
Presumably Lloyd-George was next
to be called on.
That the Welsh leader will accept

will select his cabinet from all the
factions in parliament Is regarded as
assured. thus continuing the coalition

in the makeup of the cabinet, howev-

conduct of Great Britain's share In

1t Is over lack of satisfaction with
the war policy of Mr. Asquith that the
criticism of his leadership centered.

will gain the most is the Labor party,

There Is much talk Of general
election, such as would ordinarily fol-

there is also strong opposition to the
suggestion Of political campaign

divert the attention of the voters for

There are two factions, both equal

differing as to methods One believes
in strong action; the other prefers to
move slowly and cautiously. The first
considers Great Britain's methods In
Greece weak. The other Is satisfied.

agreed on the vital issues. The Irish
Nationalists, for instance, unite with
the Unionists on one proposition and
with the Liberals on another.
Some Of Issues Arising
There are number Of issues which
are causing dissatisfaction. Among
them are the Irish question, Greece,
the food situation, the admiralty man

want peace until Germany admits she
is wrcng-until they have obtained

They want to fight hard; they do

to this the county's attorney had asked
for time to investigate and advise the
board whether or not McNeill was
still commissioner or whether he had
been succeeded by e. c. Houston who
had filed his bond and oath Of Office
Saturday,.
Here George E. Keeler, of Portland
and Denver, appeared before the board
and rendered the following written bid
"For $125,000 general negotiable cou-

TUESDAY, DEC. )

Bids for the $685., 900 worth of water
refunding bonds of the city were
opened by the commission yesterday
and the issue awarded to the State Of
Washington, whose bid of par and 4
per cent interest per annum, payable
semi-annually, was the lowest SUBJ
mitted.
Bonding company representatives
and financiers from many sections of
the county were present when the
bids were opened in the morning, at
the regular meeting Of the commits
sioners. Adjournment was taken un-
til 2:30 o'clock, when the states bid
was accepted.
By this transaction the city will
save $500 during the life of the
bonds, over the old issue which car
ried 5 per cent. Also much better
provision is made for the payment Of
the bonds, as the state will allow pay
ment as desired by the city, and it is
probable that such payments will be
made every year, so that the indebted
ness will be wiped out in 20 years.
This four per cent bid is considered
one of the lowest ever recorded in thr
northwest for paper of such nature
another bit of evidence that money is
getting cheaper, and that Walla Wal
las finances are considered in the best
condition.
The state also secured the bonds re.

which was awarded to the Coonse,
Bond & Taylor bid of par with an an

The bond buyers who were present
in person at the session of the school
board, held last night at the high
school, at which the bids were consid-
cred, asked for an auction to deter
mine the award. Their request was
refused on the grounds that it would
give an unfair advantage to the COM
panies represented in person and the
proposals called for the submission OF
sealed bids. When the decision was
announced, all the buyers submitted
their sealed bids.
"Now comes the fireworks" an

to be the Coonse, Bond & Taylor bid
and, as it was read, there was evident

nounced "That lets me out" but
others hoped for some consideration
on the score of their high premiums.

bid, one of 41s9o interest, redemption
privilege after 10 years, and $762.5(
premium. o. P. Dix of Seattle, whose
