London, Oct. 25.-The unionist

London Oct. 25-The regime of
Premier Bonar Law and his conserva-
tive government starts today
Great Britain is to pass formally
out of the control of the Lloyd George
coalition government when King
George welcomes the new unionist
ministers in office and turns over their
seals to them. This will take place
this afternoon.
The King, before this, is to receive
Lloyd George and his repudiated cabi-
net and bid them God speed,
The new government will resign az
least until November Is, when the
general elections, which will be the
first real test of strength between
Premier Bonar Law and Lloyd
George, the former prime minister,
will be held.
Bonar Laws government to stay
in office, must command q majority
of the votes in the House Of Com
mons. members of which are to be
elected at the general elections.
The new cabinet is undoubtedly a
disappointment to the "die-hard" fac
ton 0 fthe Unionist party, whose ma
neuvers were directly responsible for
the overthrow of the Lloyd George
government.
Only one "die-hard"-Lord Sasis-
bury-received a ministerial ap-
pointment. The Lord, the recognized
leader of the recalcitrants, was chos-

position which carries with it much
dignity and honor but little power.
1t is anticipated, however, that the
"die-hard" faction will be placed later
when minor government positions are
awarded.

In answering the conservative plank

which favors the non extension OF the
RESPONSIBILITIES of Great Britain the
former prime minister stated:
"Britains policy must be peace low

"Our first object was to win the
