BRYAN BEGINS HIS
PROHIBITION DRIVE

Washington, Dee. William Jen-
nings Bryan made his first public ap-
pearance in Washington today in his
prohibition drive" Inc former sec
rhtary Of state, who has announced
his intention of making prohibition a
politica as we'll as a moral issue, was
accorded rousing reception when he
appeared on the floor o. the house a
few minutes before t.la arrival of
President Wilson to deliver his mes
sage to congress.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied BY his
friend, Representative Claude Kitch-
in, of North Carolina, majority leader
of the house. The outburst of ap-
plause which GREETED his entrance was
but little less in volume that that
which marked the appearance Of Mr..
Wilson a few nhinutes later.
After listening to the president adj
dress the joint meeting of congress,
Mr.. Bryan had luncheon with Mr..
Kitchin. He made no comment on
the presidents address and added
nothing to his former announcements
Of determinat;on to make the United
States "dry."

Dir. Kazutami Ukita, the historian
and well-known editor of the Taiyo
Magazine, discusses american cues
tion3 in a leading article on the ef-
feet OF the Russo-Japancse alliance
in the control or domination of the
Pacific. He believes that by that al
lance Japan has strengthened her po-
sition in the Asiatic continent.
Pointing oat that during the war
the Pacific ocean will be exclusively
dominated by Japan, Great Britain
and the United States, DR.. Utika says
that the United States with it's
steady naval expansion will become
the greatest naval power in the Pa
ciiic III the future. He added: "If ia
pan, Great Britain and the United
States cooperate peacefully in the Pa
ciiic, and derive the common benefits
accruing thercfroD,, tranquility will
reign in the Pacific ocean, but if a
peaceful cooperation among these
three powers should be found difficult,
the Pacific may be turned into hos
tile area and the world may witness
another great war. At any rate the
relations among these three powers
in the Pacific are worthy Of special
study, and we have no doubt that the

"I don't like a food dictator,

II don't like food dictator"
There is much talk tonight of the
possibilities of a general election Mr.
Bonar Law would first form a cabi-
net, If he takes office, as it is neces-
sary that the government be carried
on, and then appeal to the electors
for ratification of his administra-
tion.
There is strong opposition, how
ever to any political campaign which
must necessarily divert the country's
energies from the war work, and the
new government may decide to go
ahead with the approval Of the House
OF Commons only.
The part David Lloyd George is
playing in the crisis was demonstrate
ed today by the fact that he remain
ed in his office while the premier con-
ferred separately with the Liberal
and Conservative members of the
Cabinet. Mr.. Lloyd-George's policy
had supporters in both camps. His
strongest Libfriend, Lord Reading,
carried messages between the pre-
mier's councils and Mr.. Lloyd
Georges desk. 1t was significant al
SO that Mr.. Bonar Law refrained
from. attending the Conservative
meeting with Mr.. Asquith.
Resignation Big Surprise.
Mr.. Asquith's retirement has taken
the politicians so by surprise that
they are not yet ready to predict the
results. The possibility that he will
consent to remain in the Cabinet with
Mr.. Bonar Law taking the post of
Lord High Chancellor IS discussed.
Herbert Samuel's promotion from
the home secretaryship to Reginald
McKenna's position at the treasury
also is predicted, while acceptance Of
the resignation of Viscount Grey and
A. j. Balfour, which some of the pa
pers backing Mr.. Lloyd-George are
demanding, is less likely under Mr..
Bonar Laws regime than if Mr..
Lloyd-George came into power.
The labor party will hold a more
mportane part in any new Cabinet.
The more sensational London pa
pers have enjoyed three or four days
tof almost frenzied excitement, with
demands and denunciations, often in
language stronger than in the mem
ory of the present generation. Events
lnRumania and Greece have been
given secondary place except as
they were used as a basis for attacks
on the ministers.

London, Dec. 5.-Herbert H. AS
quith tonight resigned the British
premiership, which he had held
through eight stormy years of do
mestic and foreign history, and the
government crisis found solution
which had been considered the least
probable of practical alternatives.
The Unionist leader, Andrew Bonar
Law, was summoned to the palace i'm
mediately after Mr.. Acquith had de-
parted, and the King offered him the
prime minister's commission, which
he had just accepted from Mr.. AS
quith's hands.
No announcement regarding Mr..
Bonar Laws decision has yet been
made and there are some doubts
whether he will accept the heavy re-
sponsibility. If he dec1lnes, it is con-
sidered certain the honor"will fall to
David Lloyd-George.
The continuation of the coalition
cabinet, with some changes, and the
speeding up Of the war mana agement
would be the policy in either event.
The premier's decision to resign
and advise the King TO summon An
drew Bonar Law to form a cabinet
was taken after day of extraordi-
nary political excitement. There was
constant comlngS and goingS of the
political leaders between Downing
street and the government depart
ments. Mr.. Asquith consulted with
several Unionist leaders,, including
Earl Curzon, Lord Robert Cecil and
the Earl of Derby.
Noticeable absentees from this
conference were A. j. Balfour, who is
III, Andrew Bonar Law, J. Austen
Chamberlain and Walter Hume Long.
In the afternoon the premier met
his supporters, including Viscount
Grey. Lewis Harcourt, Edwin S.
Montague, the Marquis of Crewe, Re-
ginald McKenna, Waiter Runciman,
Lord Buchmaster, II. Samuel, Lord
Reading and Arthur Henderson. 1t
is supposed Mr.. Asquith explained
that he was forced by almost insup-
cradle obstacles to the reconciliation
of the conflicting interests and in
tended to resign. Almost Immediate
ly the premier drove to the palace and
had an audience with the King.
1t now is remarked that when Mr..
Asquith was asked in the House of
Commons yesterday if a food dictator
had been appointed he replied sharp
ly:
