 standing With Allies. :.

London, Oct. 20 (By Associated Press)-Andrew Bonar Law appeared to be making progress today in form ing cabinet to replace the fallen coalition government.

 Is in Good Health.
 The premier designate was busv seeking out eligihles today. His sec retary declared he is in good health again and ready to buckle to" the work which lies before him.

 Lloyd George Active.
 Meanwhile Mr. Lloyd George, be- reft of his rank as premier but still giving evidences of retaining to the full the tndomitable courage and the fighting spirit which have characte ized his 30 odd years of political life, was making his way today along the first stage of his trek into the will derness" with those of his comrades who had remained faithful to his leadership.
 Whether he was hoping that chance would smile upon him and lead him quickly along some as yet undiscov- cred path to realm of renewed po- litical prosperity. or whether he was planning the pioneering job of hew- ing new way out, none could say except the little Welshman himself.

 The unonists, the liberals and the laborites alike were conferring and working intensely in an attempt to solve the problem confronting them Former Premier Asquith who was in the country when he heard of the col lapse of the Lloyd George government rushed back to town this morning to confer with his colleagues as to what line the liberals should adopt and other conferences were proceeding among the various party leaders
