LONDON, Dec. 6.—The situation
in regard to the cabinet crisis is still
far from calmed. All the members
of the Asquith cabinet including
Asquith himself sent their resigna
tions to the King.
Asquith’s inability to form a fu
sion government was considered to
be a foregone conclusion. It is point
ed out with the fate of a preced
ing coalition government falling to
pieces before them, many would not
be willing to court political disaster
by joining it.
Upon the King receiving Asquith's
resignation, he immediately follow
ing the ancient custom, sent for the
conservative leader, Bonar Law,
asking him to form a cabinet. Law
respectfully declined the premiership
and for this is congratulated in this
evening’s Mail as a patriot.
King George lost no time upon
Law’s declining the Premiership in
not following the usual course. In
stead he immediately sent for Lloyd
George who, it is stated, will form
a cabinet.
LONDON, Dec. 6.—fhe very worst
omen for an early peace is George’s
Premiership. It means says the
Times an unabatement of the war
policy and that a deaf ear will be
turned to all peace proposals. The
paciflsist tendencies of Asquith of
late have been undeniable.

TEUTONS WIN EVERY
ATTACK ON ENEMIES
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—The Russians
continue their Carpathian campaign
without even a slight success today.
The Teutons have regained practi
cally all the heights taken and are
driving the Russians back notwith
standing their bitter resistance. The
Russian losses are frightful and
staggering.
PETROGRAD, Dec. 6.—The Ru
manians are making unsuccessful
attempts to check the Teuton ad
vance on the road to Ploechiti |
where Mackenzen is viciously ham
mering the Rumanians.
The Austrians despite determined
counters in the Throuse valley have
captured a range of heights. In
surprising numbers they are inces
santly hammering the Rumanians
retiring eastward from Titu.
The Teutons have also re-taken
the heights gained yesterday by the
Russians in the Carpathians.
SOFIA, Dec. 6.—The Rumanians
have been repulsed in every front,
both in Dobrudscha and Wallachia.
It is reckoned that the entire
scheme of defense has broken down.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—The Rumanian
situation is such that the capture of
Bucharest is only merely a matter of
hours. The German guns are shel
ing the city but the main military
operation- is to hem the Rumanian
troops on every side to prevent
their escape.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.—
It is quite evident that there is to

Adamson bill with a view of em

in Wilson’s speech.
THE DIAMOND FROM THE SKY
AT DREAM TONIGHT
Chapter 7.—“The Fox and the
Pig”—The fight, thought uneven, is
superb. It seems going against
Arthur, when at breakneck speed
he rides his horse to the highest tier
of the grand stand, jumps and
escapes. Arthur comes upon a dead
fox hunter, changes clothes with the
body, and eludes his pursuers.
Meanwhile Hagar’s detective discov
ers that the finger prints on the
throat of murdered Dr. Lee are not
Arthur’s but those of Blair Stanley.
Hagar rushes to Mrs. Stanley with
the evidenece, and Blair strikes her
into unconsciousness. Then he hides
her handcuffed form in the Stanley
secret chamber, and flees madly with
the incriminating photographs of his
own finger prints. Not far away is
a small colored boy driving a pig.
He sees an owl's nect, clambers aloft
after it and finds the gleaming
“diamond from the sky." To

Action however is deferred pend
ing Gregory’s opinion on the con
stitutionality of compulsory delay in
strike maters until properly investi
gated.
There seems to be some question
as to this among Solons, and there
will be considerable opposition to
the measure.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.—
Laborites are laying low while the
present session of Congress formu
lates the Wilson Idea for industrial
peace in a measure soon to make
its apearance. Several measures
have been prepared all founded
upon the Wilson plan of compulsory
prevention of unauthorised strikes.
What position the laborites will take
in the matter is not indicated but
sufficient was said of the attitude
of organized labor on the proposi
tion at the Baltimore convention to
leave no doubt as to where they
stand.
As for the Brotherhoods they are
giving no sign, although it is still
insisted that if the eight hour day
does not go into effect January 1,
the strike certainly will.

NEW YORK, Dee. 6.—Ample ma
terial for another “note” arrived
upon the Liner Espagne today from
Europe. This is a crew of sixteen
men off the American steamship
John Lambert which was sunk
November 22 oft the Isle of Wight
by a German submarine, unwarned.
The story told by the former crew
of the Lambert is Identical from
everyone of them. The ship was oft
the Isle of Wight, about twenty
miles, when a German submarine
was observed. The submarine open
ed fire upon the boat with its guns,
the first shot shattering the bridge
and some of the officers were killed.
The men lowered the boats and
while they were doing so another
shot and then’ a torpedo was fired
at the Lambert. The crew of twen
ty who escaped were compelled to
row forty miles to the coast of
France being forbidden to row to
wards the Isle of Wight.
The steamer was flying the Amer
ican flag when attacked, had its
name marked in clear letters on its
sides and also the American ensign
painted on it, port and starboard.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The Lam
bert was an American ship, but late
ly it is said to have been sold to
French interests although still main
taining United States registry. The
sinking is causing a sensation.
PEACE IN SIGHT IS CLAIM
OF GERMANY’S EDITORS
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—The Berlin
papers with almost official unanim
ity see peace.
Editorial comment upon the
British cabinet crisis sees the col
lapse of a war ministry. The reports
of the French crisis aslo indicate
that the peacemakers are getting
stronger in France while the strik
ing victories in Rumania are almost
certain to bring about peace.
That is the view expressed in
every article. Great rejoicing is
heard at the collapse of Lloyd
George, the later reports of his hav
ing been summoned by the king of
England to form a cabinet not hav
ing then been known. George Is re
gardede as the most bellicose and
anti-German of all the ministers
and his disappearance from British
politics would, it is believed, bring
peace nearer.
The German papers are openly
triumphant over the continuous and
marvellous successes that are attend
ing their arms.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.—There is an
evident irritation at the fact that
George has been called upon to form
a cabinet in England. The fact that
this arch militarist is to have charge
of the destinies of Great Britafn
means that Germany will have to
completely destroy her in order to
bring about peace.
