CRISIS IMPENDS IN
BRITISH 1NISTHY
ASQUITH MAY GO
■ > taj national News Service.
LONDON, Dec. 4—Three morning
papers,the Times,Telegraph, and Mail,
say that a political crisis has arisen
in the privy council and that there is
no way out of the difficulty except the
formation of a new ministry.
Premier Asquith is declared to have
been inadequate to the great demands
made on him and It Is confidently
predicted by each of tho papers that
IJoyd-George Is the one man on whom
the empire may safely rely in this
emergency.
Asquith’s vacillation in the settle
ment of the naval controversy, the
recent seizure of the South Wales coal
mines, the unnecessary affronts to
America's dignity, the Grecian im
broglio, and many other policies are
fiankly criticised. That dissatisfac
tion exists in England and all over the
empire is affirmed nnd the one man In
England In whom all parties and f ic
tions have confidence is stated to be
Lloyd-George.
The appearance of these papers
simultaneously this morning with ar
ticles of almost identical tenor Is taken
to mean that the announcement is of
official or semi-official Inspiration
and that a new ministry is almost
certain.
KAISER AND ALLIES AGREE.
