The war minister was summoned to Buckingham palace By King George immediately after the king had held a conference with Andrew Bonar Law, who 'declined to accept the premiership. s Lloyd-George's visit to the royal palace also followed a conference be tween the" war minister and Bonar Law. It was officially stated that Bonar Law formally informed the king, dur ing his conference at Buckingham, that .he would not attempt to form a new cabinet. L King George summoned coalition cabinet members in council to dis cuss the present situation. Lloyd-George's uncompromising attitude of past few days, an attitude in which he was cordially supported by such of his former political op ponents as Andrew Bonar Law and Sir Edward Carson, was simply con crete expression of popular resent ment at the ineptitude of Asquith coalition regime. It represented pro found and country-wide conviction that an entirely new deal was neces sary if the war was to be prosecuted intelligently, energetically and effi ciently. In addition to the denial from. Sir Edward Carson that any, plan was afoot whereby Ireland. would be giv en home rule in exchange for accep tance of conscription, John Red mond, Irish nationalist leader, also disavowed any such proceeding. o o Two men and two girls in auto robbed Peter Hill, auto garage own er, 116th and Carondolet av., of $256.
