The "Gazette" notides the appointment of Vice-Admiral Sir Cecil Burney to be Second Sea Lord and Captain Lionel Halsey to be Fourth Ses Lord.
THE CABINET CRISIS.
Mr. Lloyd George Willing to Serve.
December 6, 1 35 a.m.
The resignation of Mr. Asquith and the summoning of Mr. Bonae Law caused a senaation in the Cluba.
There is little disposition to criticise from a partisao standpoint. It is generally hoped that Mr. Bonar Law will be able to form a strong united government, which will cop- mand the support of the majority of the members of the House of Commons, regardlem of pre-wse tien
It is understood that the Unionist Ministers, after con- sulting Mr. Booer Law, intimated that Mr. Asquith's pro- posed changes in the War Council were not soceptable.
It is too early to discuss the probable personnel of the Cabinet, which will be based upon commitations between Mr. Bonar Law and his Unionist colleagues; but it is believ- ed that Mr. Lloyd George is willing to serve, and other Liberala are regarded as likely office-holders,
Press Speculations.
Doème 6 6 50 i m. There were many conferences of Ministers, yesterday. Prior to the sanguncement of the „resignation, Mr. Bonar Law conferred with his Unionist colleagues, of whom Lord Curzon acted as messenger to the conference for Mr. Asquith and the Liberal Ministers.
-- It is stated that the Unionista, în view of Mr. Lloyd George's resignation, told Mr. Asquith that they would resign unless the Government did so.
It is generally assumed that the new Government will
be predominantly Unionist, though Mr. Bonar Law will attempt to keep the coalition in existence.
Sir Herbert Samuel and the Hon. E. S. Montagu are the only Liberals mentioned as likely to join The "Daily News," indeed, declares that the new Government will con- tain no Liberal except Mr. Lloyd George, though the Liberal will support it patriotically.
The papers agree that whoever in the new Premier be will find it difficult to command a majority in the House of Commons, not merely because of Mr. Asquith's hold on the latter, but because of the acute antagonism of the Labourites to Mr. Lloyd George.
The Unionist papers are confident that in the event of an election the new National Government will secure a great victory, but the, genera] fesling is that an election is un- thinkable during the war. Moreover most of the clectorate is fighting, while the women have no voter.
The Daily Chronicle" states that should Mr. Bonar Law decline to form a Government the King might summon Mr. Lloyd George, who would doubtless endeavour to form a composite Government and attempt to secure Nationalist support. Should neither succeed, the King would probably invite Mr. Asquith to reconstitute the Coalition Cabinet. Is says there were speculations yesterday that the King might call the party leaders together and invite them to adjust their differences.
The "Daily Telegraph" recognises that much will de pend on the attitude of Mr. Arquith. It is convinced that with his high sense of duty he will not refuse a subordinate position in the new Government.
