London, Oct. 20, (By the Associated
Press Andrew Bonar Law appeared
to be making rapid PROCESS to-day in
forming a cabinet to replace the faller
coalition government.
This was evidenced by the announce,
nent that Marquis Curzon and the Ear
Of Derby, both men Of influence and
experienced cabinet ministers, have
sgreed to serve under him in any
capacity.
. Mr. Bonar Law cannot officially an
nounce the formation Of his ministry
until he is elected head of the Unionist
party to succeed Austen Chamberlain
but, it is generally conceded that this
election will be only formality.
Despite the fact that the split in the
unionist ranks has deprived him of
such cabinet material as Mr.. Chamber
lain, Lord Birkenhead, the earl of Bal
four and some lesser lights, political
experts believe Mr.. Bonar Law will
find plenty Of timber among the young
err members of the party who have
shown promise in the political field and
ire marked for advancement at favor
able moment.
The premier designate was busy seek
ing out eligibles at an early hour to-
day. His secretary declared he is in
good health again and ready to buckle
TO" the work which lays before him.
Certainly he is giving every evidence
Of his old intense energy, though wheth-
er he is strong enough to stand the
long, hard strain of Office is problemati-
cal
Meanwhile Mr. Lloyd George, bereft
of his rank as prime minister, but still
giving evidences OF retaining TO the
full the indomitable courage and the
fighting spirit which have characterized
his thirty odd years of political life,
was making his way to-day along the
first stage of his trek into the wilder
ness with those of his comrades who
had remained faithful TO his leader
ship. Whether he was hoping that
chance would smile upon him and lead
him quickly along some as yet undis-
covered path TO realm of renewed po-
liticsl prosperity, or whether he was
planning the pioneering job of hewing
new way out none could say except the
little Welshman himself
The political caldron' in England is
seething as the country has not seen
IL in long years. Whatever fate might
have in store, il was certain Lloyd
George was entering a stage of his
career which would call for all his
skill and craft. II was equally ceftain
that he would prove TO be strong OPP
ponent in the coming political battles.
The unionists, the liberals and the |
lsborites alike, we're conferring and |
working intensely on an attempt to |
solve the problem confronting them
Formes Premier Asquith, who was in
the country when he heard of the col |
lapse of the Lloyd George government,
rushed back 10 town this morning to /
confer with his colleagues as to what /
line the liberals should adopt and 9th
er conferences were proceeding among
the various party leaders.
II is declared in high political cir |
eles that the government which Mr.. /
Bonar Law has in view will be pre-
pared 10 continue in all essential re
spects the work of the late ministry.
