DAY OP BIO EXCITEMENT Prime Minister Urges Monarch to Have Colleague Form Ministry. RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED London, Dec. 5. The resignation of Premier Asquith is officially an noonced. It is understood that Mr. Asquith will advise the king to entrust to An drew Bonar Law the formation of a new ministry.

Mr. Asquith had an audience with his majesty, the king, and tendered his resignation as prime minister and first lord of the treasury, which the king hasJeen graciously pleased to accept." Day of Great Excitement. The premier's decision to resign and advise the king to summon An drew Bonar Law to form a cabinet was taken after a day of extraordi nary political activity. There were constant comings and goings of the political leaders between Downing street and the various government de partments. Mr. Asquith met several unionist leaders in consultation, in cluding Earl Curzon, Lord Robert Cecil and the earl of Derby. Noticeable absentees from this con ference weresA. J. Balfour, who is ill; Andrew Bonar Law, J. Austen Cham berlain and Walter Humlong. Meets His Supporters. Later in the forenoon the premier met his supporters, including Vis count Grey, Lewis Harcourt, Edwin S. Montague, the marquis of Crewe, Reginald McKenna, Walter -4?unci-man, Lord Buckmaster, H. Samuel, Lord Reading and Arthur Henderson. The meeting lasted for more than an hour and it is supposed that Mr. Asauith exolained that he was faced by almost unsuperablc obstacles to the reconciliation of the conflicting interests and intended to tender his resignation. Almost immediately the premier drove to the palace and had an audience with the king. - - Resignation Not Accepted. Lloyd ..George's resignation has not been accepted thus far. Became Premier in 1908. ' Herbert Henry Asquith" became premier of Great Britain in 1908, suc ceeding Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man. ifr. Asquith at once began a policy of reform parliamentary, so cial and constitutional a radical nature, aided by David Lloyd George, with whom today he apparently is at odds. 1 ' Shortly after the outbreak of the war the liberal cabinet of Mr. .As quith began to he assailed by its political) enemies, mainly on the con duct of the war, and particularly with regard to the naval branch of the British forces. So bitter was this campaign that on May 26, 1915, a coalition cabinet was formed with Asquith, however, retaining the port folio of prime minister. Origin of Situation. The present political crisis in Great Britain apparently had itsf origin in a similar situation, especial ly on account of the government's postponement of consideration of the British air board's demands for fuller ppwers to meet the situation created by German air raids, of England; the recent change in the command of the British fleet by which Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty was made head of the grand fleet, and especially Lloyd George's demand for a smaller war council, which should have pow ers to act independently of the cabi , net. 1 Mr. Asquith in parliament made a statement that there was trouble in his cabinet and that he had asked King George to permit a reconstruc tion of it. Just how it was proposed to change the ministry was not stated. The Weather For Nebraska Fair; not much change In temperature. Temperatnrefl at Omaha Yesterday. nour. ueg.
