with the formation Of new ministry.
The King summoned Mr.. Law to the

The Premier's decision to resign and
advise the King to summon Mr.. Law to
form a cabinet was taken after day
of extraordinary political excitement
and activity. There we're constant
comings and goings of political lead
ers between Downing street and gov.
eminent departments. Mr.. Asquith
met several Unionist leaders in con.
sultation. including Earl Cursor, Lord

today he apparently is at odds.
Shortly after the outbreak Of the
war tho liberal cabinet of AsQuith be
gan to be assaulted by its political enc

So bitter was this campaign that on
