LONDON. December 1 Whether
the threatened crisis In the British
cabinet has been passed ls still an
uneertainty--but the indications are
that Premier Asquith Is maintaining
his reputation as one of the greatest
political placators in British history.
From the best information obtain
able David Loyd-George, minister OF
war. did not resign as rumored sun
day, nor did he actually threaten to
step down. But he did firmly ex-
press the belief In the absolute
necessity for small, compact coun-
ell with full authority to conduct the
war. Apparently Premier Asquith
exceeded in this belief. II is circun-
stantialIy reported that the unionist
cabinet members had advised the
premier 10 resign. intimating that
If he did not take this step the whole
unionist representation in the cabi-

KING GEORGE GIVES ASSENT
FOR THE FORMATION OF
NEW GOVERNMENT.
NOT CHANGE POLICY
Whatever Changes MAY he Made
There Will BE no Departure
From Policy TO Compel the
Restoration of Belgium.

LONDON. Dec. 4.--England is pre-
pairing for a reconstruction.
Premier Asquith made formal an
nouncement in the house of COM
mons today that King George had
rendered assent for the "reconstruc-
tion of the government" which a
statement yesterday announced was
contained in plans What course
that plan will take was not made
clear today by the premier. He sug-
gested that all questions from the
members regarding the cabinet per
sonnel would be deferred and con-
cluded with the request that when
the commons adjourned it would not
meet again until Thursday.
Asquith said, however. that what
ever reconstruction of the govern
ment was decided upon there would
be no departure from the policy an
nounced at the beginning of the
war. Asquith's own statement at
this time held that England was in
the war to compel restoration of
Belgium and until such time as
German militarism was subdued and
the integrity of small nations as
sured, at which it was assumed the
whole plan of reconstruction would
be discussed.
