Decision Reached At Recent
Peace Meeting
FACTS AS MADE PUBLIC
David Lloyd George Has Agreed To
Work Under Premier; Fur
Their Plans Agreed.

London, November 15.-The cues
ton whether Herbert Asuuith or
David Lloyd George will assume the
leadership Of the reunited liberal
party, which has been exciting the
greatest interest in view of the deep
rotted political luminosity between
these two statesmen appears to
have been settled quietly at their
peace meeting on Tuesday. a.
No official announcement has been
forthcoming from the liberal head
quarters. In fact this issue has been
carefully avoided by the liberal po.
liticians and the liberal press, but
political experts In a position to
know the facts say the situation is
this: Mr.. Lloyd George has agreed
to work with and under Mr.. Asouith,
In view of the latter's position as
the elder statesman and leader of
the third strongest party in the
house, as that body is. constituted at
present, the labor party being the
second and the Lloyd George party
ranking fourth. =
Should the liberals be successful
in the election Mr. Asquith will be
asked to form a cabinet in which
Mr.. Llovd George will be second in
command. ) q
But Mr. Asquith, it is asserted,

would quietly retire from the pre-
miership at the expiration of a few
months, upon which Mr.. Lloyd
George would assume the leadership
of the liberals and fill again his old
role OF prime minister. S
