FORMER PRIME
 MINISTER DIES
 ENGLISH HOME
Earl of Oxford and Asquith Passes Away-Uncon-
 scious Many Days
t-oA;;nued from Page one)


 But Englishmen insist Asquitn stepped aside, not down. for there was no decline and fall for thc scholarly statesman who remain ed just what he was in the be- ginning. His power was in him self, not in his office. and in a sense he had just as much, or just as little, influence after his resignation as when he was prime minister.
 Calm Through All Throughout the awful years Of war, and the dreadful years. of peacemaking, Asquith remained the same calm, steady bulwaik of English ability and respect ability. During all those trying times he scarcely raised his voice above an even tone. Blood had never got into his eyes, even when Lloyd George split his beloved Liberal Party wide open.
 Asquith was growing old, but he held his grip of affairs with quiet tenacity. He lived not only to see the prodigal Lloyd George re- turned to the fold of orthodox Liberalism but to make Brita,n's 5 first labor government possible by withdrawing Liberal support from the Conservative regime which Stanley Baldwin had led to disaster in the general election of December, 1923.
 Upon Bonar Laws death Bald win had inherited a large majori- ty in the House of Commons. But Baldwin wanted a mandate of his own, so he went to the voters on the issue of imperial tariffs. Lloy l George returned from his trium- phant Aperican tour to plunge into the campaign under Asquith's banner, for when free trade was at stake the schism in the Lib eral party disappeared overnight. Baldwin's defeat was stunning; Conservatives retained only 25o of Bonar Laws 347 seats. Labor held 191, the United Liberals 159, while six independents were re- turned.
 Meets New Conditions
 An unprecedented political sil- uation confronted Great Britain. No party had the necessary ma jority to form a government. La- bor was knocking at the door az the second strongest party.
 With characteristic composure Asquith met the new crisis and on January IT. 1924. he announced that Liberals would support the Labor vote of no confidence in the Baldwin government. Bald win resigned. Labor was induit- ed to power and the two-centusy precedent of England's two-party system was destroyed. Thus at the age of 72 Asquith met another great crisis and dealt with t with the vigorous fresh viewpoint of the youth who had entered the House of Commons nearly % years before.
 Asquith started life with no ad- yantages of fortune. He was bora September 12. 1852 of middle class, non-conformist Yorkshire family. His father died when he was eight and the boy went 70 London to school. At school he won prize after prize. Then two scholarships to Balliol College came his way. At Oxford he de. veloped as an orator. and like Lords Curzon. Grey and Milner belonged to the famous Oxford intellectual clique influenced by Jowett. Young Asquith made no profession toward athletics but was more human than John Mcr-
