ton of the War-LIoyd-George

London-Premier Asquith has de-
cided to advise the king to consent to
the reconstruction Of the government.
This was officially announced Sun
day night.
There is nothing suggesting that
Mr.. Asquith contemplates abandon
ing the premiership, or that any res
ignations are impending, and for the
moment the only important differ
ence in the personnel of the min
istry seems to be the readmission of
Sir Edward Carson.
LIoyd-George Would Quit.
David Lloyd-George, who evidently
is the moving spirit in the whole
crisis, has not, it is now definitely
stated, offered his resignation to Pre-
mier Asquith, but he has threatened
to resign in certain contingencies.
The political correspondents concur
that the crisis will result in the con-
stitution of a small war council of
four or five members, exclusive of
naval and military advisers, for a
more vigorous prosecution Of the war.
Their information, however, regard
ing the personnel of this council diff
fers considerably regarding certain
prospective members, with reference
especially to Mr.. Asquith's inclusion
therein.

might know how to get the most gu.

Each year the increasing excel

Of experiences among the farmers

not surprising that It's nevsr-wanfng

that he will never allow the presen-
