iiSl bA the lutlnusTH VA lAA1 His own name Is not men { tioned in the official list, which leaves i it to be inferred that he takes no other office than that of prime minister and first lord of the treasury. the latter be- ing post without specified duties be- yond those attaching 10 the premiership
 Marquis Curzon retains his post as secretary for foreign affairs and will be leader of the house of lords. Viscount Peet retains che Indian seeretaryship. Stanley Baldwin. as expected, goes to the exchequer, but 1t has not yet been announced whether he will be leader in the house of coinISon.
 The Earl of Derby at the war office resumes post which he has held before. The prime minister had the greatest dif- ficulty with the law office. IL is mo- | ticeable that Lord Carson's name does | not appear in the new ministry, Viscount i Cave becoming lord high chancellor.
 The attorney general. Douglas Nc | Gare Hogg. is new to his office; he l was formei | closely associated with ! Lord Carson. Ills wife is the dagghter of Judge TriIsbIe Brown. Of Nashville.

 There are still a number of appoint ments to be made, and it is noticeable that the five offices held under Premier
 Lloyd George by Austen Chamberlain,
 II. A. l.. Fisher. T. J. McNamara, Sir
 Hamar Greenwood and the Earl of Craw-
 ford and Balcarres, who all joined Lloyd : George in the wilderness. are not yet filled. It is expected that the office of chief secretary for Ireland will be : abolished and that the ministry of labor
 will be merged into some other depart
 ment.
 The prime minister held hin first in- 5 formal cabinet council of the ministers : already appointed at a small dinner party at his residence tonight to dis
 cuss general lines of policy previous to
 his visit to Glasgow, when il is believed he will make his political pronunciamen- U to.
 I Election campaigning went into full swing today. and as light begins to emerge from the confusion into which the
 sudden collapse of the coalition threw
 the political world, two distinct ten- : dencies are becoming evident The ' first, and most important, is the fear ev- . idently aninating all the other parties ' i of the unknown quantity in the labor
 vote of the electorate.
 Labor has been by far the most sue
 cessful of the various parties in all the 4. bye elections since the elections of 1918 :, moreover, 1t Is known that the labor 2 party is better organized for elections I- than any previous occasion and that
 it will have a greater number of Candi'
 dates in the field than any other party
 except the conservatives. Hence. ther' h. is considerable justification for the ap - prehension entertained.
 'u It is quite possible that this apprehen | sion accounts for the second notabl
 tendency, namely, the desire Of thc con
 servativcs to do everything possible t' at avoid accent1ating the cleavage in thei to party There is no doubt that Mfr Bona lg Law still hopes for eventual reconcilia or ton with those conservative leaders win
 remained faithful to Lloyd George am
 the real motive for the wish to heal tn L. split in the party is the hope of counter at ing labor's expected attack on property ei Perhaps the most notable event of tn ce day has been Reginald McKenna's fran n- support of the Bonar Law adTninstrs III tion. This must be a tremendous disar
 pointment to the Asquithian liberals an
 is at the same time an enormous asSe 1s to the new administration. Whether M s- McKenna will return to active politics Io life in the sense of joining the new ac - -, rninistration or becoming identified wit II the unionist party is still unknown, an
 probably depends on the course of futui ., events.
 .. The motive of his new turn. howeve
 Is the same as that animating all q to other parties, as revealed In the rsceI speeches of Austen Chamberlain, Vii -' ston Churchill and even in the manifes-
 of the Asquithian or independent. Til n. erals fear of socialism and the natioi E, alization of industry. There is man ft- festly fear of the advent of a labor go d- ernment, with attacks on capital, in q nr shape of levy on capital, and upC
 private enterprise in trade and industr
 The speech delivered by Arthur He m derson, one of the prominent labor lea sr- CTS, last. week, before it was know rt- that coalition was collapsing and a ge or eral election was coming, has been larg K ly responsible for this development nd his speech Mir. Henderson said that "l
 bor has declared war on private ente
 prise," and he made other similar stat the merts, which 1t Is thought that he VOL np- probably have toned down had he knoy his an election was so near. re- With regard to the question of prots ar- tion.
