CABINET PLACES
TO BE FILLED

London, Oct. 22 (By the Associat-
ed Press).--With the departure OF
Lloyd George for his country resi-
dence and the secretariat at No. 10
Downing street busy preparing for
removal, political interest today
shifted to Onslow Gardens, where
Andrew Bonar Law is giving the fin
ishing touches to his cabinet list for
presentation to the king tomorrow
Lord Cave, former home secretary,
visited Bonar Law today, but nothing
developed to throw light on the fu-
tute.
The Sunday papers are full of pre-
dictions regarding the program of the
new government and the composition
Of the cabinet. All give advice TO the
prospective prime minister on the ne
cessity of settling foreign affairs, so
that the country's trade may be car
ried on. The Sunday Observer ap
peals for fair play for Bonar Law and
his colleagues and urges the immed-
ate clearing up of foreign affairs.
"For," it adds, "the coalition has lef;
behind it far more serious situation
than the country has yet begun to
realize. The Chanak crisis, reacting
far and wide on the rest of our ex-
ternal connections, has worked to the
profound prejudice Of our whole world
policy and of our own most vital in
terests. After disastrous six weeks
the general situation is no longer
what it was before-it is deeply
changed to our detriment."
Referring to Lloyd George, The OBJ
server says:
"The retiring premier is by far and
away the most brilliant popular lead.
er in the world. His peace ministry
was much below his war ministry in
merit. A greater tenure of office and
power will return to him in due sea-
son-not, we hope, before he has had
leisure enough to refresh and deepen
his thoughts"
The Sunday Times in an editorial
says:
For the time being the greatest
PSioOhoi lOiSC dIu luc t1lOSt IdSClIlaC-
ing figure in our politics is out of
power"
The paper considers that it should
be recorded that "there is one portion
of his career that will always be
blazened in letters of gold in British
annals E. By his transcendent
services in the war, first as minister
of munitions and second in the pre-
miership, he brought about victory,
on which alone his whole being was
centered. Threw into the scale ev-
cry defect of personality that criti-
cism may discover and every mistake
in policy that may be imputed to him
since the armistice, Lloyd George still
remains of al living Britons the one
to whome the country and the EN-.
pire are most indebted"
The Sunday Times thinks that the
country will be safe in the hands OF
a prime minister as level headed aS
Bonar Law.
HE is not great man, nor clever
man." says the paper, "but Great
Britain just now is looking for man
whose character it can trust and OF
whose not too exciting abilities IT
hopes to repose in tranquility, and
1t is disposed to believe that it has
found what it wants in Bonar Law"
Regarding the rumors of Bonar
Laws health. the political CORES
pondent of The People claims TO
know that the statement that Bonar
Laws medical advisers warned him
against taking heavy responsibility
Is not correct.
"The new leader was never in bet
ter health" he declares, "and his doc,
tor gave him a clean bill of health
