to Form One.
ASQUITH MAY COME BACK
Brief Sketch Shows the Present
Cabinet Maker as a Very
Strong Statesman.

I.ONUON. D<?e. Mr A. Bonnr
Law lias declined tb*- invitation <;f
Isrntr George to form a now cabinet.
arid the king has sent for David
Lloyd George.
Whether Mr. Lloyd George, whose
action led to the disruption of the
coalition government and the resignation
of Mr. Asquith. would have
any greater success in forming a ministry
than Mr. Law is a question that
lias not been answered. Political
correspondents predict tiiat Mr. Asquith
will be* back at the head of the
government before many days.
David Lloyd George is an idol in
British democracy. His extreme radicalism
has made him at times "one
of the most hated men in England,"
particularly among the aristocracy,
but on more numerous occasions he
looms up as "the man of the hour"
and his personality sometimes overshadowed
the whole Asquith ministry
with which he was id,entitled.
He is pre-eminently the British
government's man of "push and go."
energetic, determined and fearless:
Though a little man, almost frail in
physique, he Is such a successful
lighter that he scarcely knows the
meaning of defeat.
in strange contrast to Lloyd
George's leadership in the prosecution
of the European war, is the fact that
liis first political prominence came
through his attacks on the pro-war
party during the South African campaign
of i 8yO-hO. lie carried his opposition
to maintain the army. His
disparagement of the British cause
was so unpopular, however, that he;
put his life in jeopardy by expounding
his views. At Birmingham, for one
instance, his life was sought, by a
riotous nioii which the noliee were
unable to handle arid Lloyd George
was able to escape from their hands
only by disguising himself in a policeman's
uniform. In later ye-irs hewas
trie object of physical violence on '
the part of the suffragettes, who
hurled m,issles at him on several occasions.
acid wrio. in February, 1:)12,:
destroyed his country house with dynamite.
As chancellor of the exchequer he
was the author of the budget reforms
which opened a new era in the fiscal
history of the Unite dKingdom. and 1
which, by putting new levies of taxation
to the propertied classes, led to
"the great constitutional conflict between
the Commoners and the Lords,
and the curbing of the legislative
veto powers of the peers. The political
revolution and other great
causes in which he figured as the
popular lea<V\ notably his successful
fight of the insurance act for protecting
the working classes against
illness and unemployment, and his
old age pension scheme, made him a
dominant figure in the Liberal gov-1
eminent.
When, with the sudden outbreak of
the European war in 11)14. internal;
politics were eclipsed by England's
entrance into the war. Chancellor
L'oyd George was shouldered with;
the chief responsibility of financing
the empire's part in the great conflict.
Though he had been one of the chief
obstructionists to great military expenditures
on the part of Great Britain,
in peace times, face to face with
the war he tackled the problem of
raising money with his whole
strength and set in motion the first
of the great loanswhich were floated
to meet Britain's war cost?estimated
at ten billion dollars.
In the midst of these financial
problems Lloyd George was called to
assume a new role, as minister of munitions.

cabinet was formed and when it
was charged that Lord Kitchner. the
secretary of state of war. had failed

PANAMA. Dec. 6?A law to
1 abolisttthe privilege of purchasing at j
the commissaries of the Panama ca- ;
nal. by others than employes of the1
L'nited States government, has been |
passed by the Assembly of Panama
and signed by the president. It has j

Official Gazette, and will not become !
i effective until three days after such j
publication.
The presence bf the connnis? vies,
vlt 1) their advantages of no rent, no
taiflff and reduced steamship and railroad
charges, has long been a thorn
in the flesh of the isthmian merchant.
The number, of influential persons
who have enjoyed the privilege, gi ven i
by the president of Panama, of buying]
in the commissaries has been an ob-j
stacle in the way of preventive ac-i
tion. The restriction of the use of !
the commissaries to the people con- j
netted with the canal and its defensive
forces, for which the commis- j
snrv system was intended, will be
unite an accomplishment of the
chambers of commerce of Colon and
Panama. It will remove a cause of
annoyance and distrust between the
Panamanians and Americans, and is
generally regarded as altogether to
be desired, except by those who have
enjoyed special privileges.
