London, Dec. 6.-The government
crisis found a solution tonight which
Up TO the hour. of its announcement
was considered the least probable of
practical alternatives. Herbert H.
Asquith resigned the premiership
which he has held through eight
stormy years of domestic and foreign
history. The unionist leader, Andrew
Bonar Law, was summoned to the
palace Immediately after Mr.. Asquith
had departed, and the king offered
him the prime minister's commission,
which he had just accepted from
Mr.. .Asquiths hands.
No announcement regarding Mr.. Bo-
mar Laws decision has been made,
and there are some doubts whether
he will accept the heavy responsible
ity. If he declines it is considered
certain that the portfolio will fall to
David Lloyd-George. The continual
tion of the coalition cabinet, with
some changes in it's membership and
the speeding up OF the war man
agement, will be the policy in either
event.

The premiers decision to resign

nary political excitement and activ-

and goings of the political leaders be-
tween Downing street and the vari-
Gus government departments. Mr..
Asquith met several unionist leaders
in consultation, including Earl Cur
zon, Lord Robert Cecil and the earl
of Derby.

ference were A. J. Balfour, who is

Later in the afternoon the premier
met his supporters, including Wis
count Grey, Lewis Harcourt, Edwin
S. Montagu, the marquis of Crewe,
Reginald McKenna, Walter Runci-
man, Lord Buckmaster, H. Samuel,
Lord Reading and Arthur Henderson.
The meeting lasted for more than an
hour, and it is supposed that Mr.. AS.
quith explained that he was faced by
almost insuperable obstacles to the
reconciliation of the conflicting in
terests, and intended to tender his
resignation. Almost Immediately the
premier drove to the palace and had
an audience with the king.

FARMER NEVER SAW
ANY. BETTER TIMES

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
American farmer has never before
seen so general or widespread a peiod
of agricultural prosperity as that of
the present year, declared H. E. Stock,
bridge, president of the National Far
mers' congress, addressing the open
ing session of the annual convention
Of the congress here today.
Farmers throughout the country
are so busy counting their profits" he
declared, they haven't time to worry
over whether they are receiving fair
share Of the consumers dollar"
Stockbridge praised the Wilson a1-
ministration for its handling of the
Mexican situation, but condemned its
facilities for mobilizing and eqpipping
the army. He urged industrial pre-
paredness, declaring the European
war has shown success depends very
greatly on this being DONE Referring
to the recent threatened railway strike
Stockbridge called attention to asser-
tions that the eight-hour day is non
arbitrable as a principle, saying that
while no attempt has yet been made
to apply it to farms, the farmer con-
tinues to be the chief immediate suf-
ferer from the recent attempt to force
this principle in another industry. In
conclusion, Stockbridge urged the
farmers to ask congress at its next
session to enact a compulsory arbitra-
tion law.

Is ELIMINATING
DANGEROUS GRADE CROSSINGS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 17.-Nine-
ty-three grade crossings of the South
ern railways Washington-Atlanta line
have been eliminated in connection
with the double track work between
Orange, Va, and Central, S. C.
Thirty-eight were supplanted by over
head bridges, thirty-three by under
passes, while twenty-five were remoy-
ed by change in the route of public
roads.
In all construction work the fixed
policy of the Southern is to separate
important highway crossings wherever
practicable. This policy means large
additional expense which is undertaken
as permanent investment for safety.
The Southern has also co-operated
with local authorities in the elimina-
tion Of many dangerous crossings on
others of its lines, devoting to this
work as much as its resources and
other obligations would permit

AMER|CUS MUST
Do AS MUCH FOR
HIM As He FOR Us

Americus has only given $4,000 to
the Wilson campaign fund.
Will you give dollar, or more?
This great country and it's future
peace and happiness depends on the
ce-election of Woodrow Wilson.
What about your part?
Are you willing to pay a small sum
to help in the great cause?
The following appeal is from Chair
man John D. Walker, head of the Geor-
gia finance committee:
Henry Ford and Woodrow Wilson.
Henry Ford of Ford ar fame, a man
of international reputation who was
discussed at one time as republican
nominee for the presidency, is out in
a public statement, in which he says:
Because of the many good things
President Wilson has done for the
country, l think he should be COM
mended and heartily appreciated. Ev-
cry neighbor you meet will tell you o.
the good things in the administration
of President Wilson l feel just as
these people do about what he has
done and realize keenly that his great
neutrality policy during the European
war has had patiently successful re-
suit in keeping this country at peace,
and l am heartily in favor of his re-
election
President Wilson has served the
country magnifecntly and has stood by
the South so faithfully, that republi-
cans are attacking him on his partial
ity for Southern men. Can we Geor-
gians fail to give him our support
when a man like Henry Ford gives him
such unstinted praise? All those in
favor of the continuance of demo-
cratic administration? All those in
favor of the continuance of a demo-
cratic administration and the re-elec-
tion of President Woodrow Wilson are
asked and urged to send their contri-
buttons to the campaign fund to the
campaign fund to the undersigned. A
public report will be made of all funds
received, unless the contributor wishes
otherwise. A cordial welcome awaits
any contribution whether large or
small.
If you believe that the best interests
of the country and peace and prosper
ity will be conserved by the reelection
of President Wilson and that it is
worth as much as $40, or So, or 81, to
you and your interests to have him re-
elected, kindly respond to this appeal.
