* * V* 4 SUCCEEDS LLOYD GEORGE S PREMIER OF GREAT BRF Entire Coalition Government Followed the Prime Minister Into Retirement Hi* Majesty Summoned Bonar Law to Form a New Ministry. A despatch from London aaya: David Lk>yd George, after hcWing the office of Prime Minister through even critical years, resigned on Thursday. Andirew Bonar La-w will become Premier for a short term of office, and has undertaken the task of naming a new British Cabinet. Lloyd George cairried the entire Coalition Gcvernnvant with tdm into retirement, when the Unionis't wi'i|T of his followers-, at a meeting held in the Carlton Club, voted 186 to 87 against the proposal 1 cf Austen Chani- ber'jarin piledgi.ng th Unionist party to sustain the coalition and favoring a general ejection to confirm that course. The ministerial crisds devwVoped TJhureday afternoon along "lines that were tctal'.y unexpected, especially by Ae Ministers themselves. N-owhere m the prcias wias it anticipated that Chamberlain would be defeated at the Carlton Ciuib, and up to almost the last moment the leaders of the revolt were seeking a bridge by* which dis- ruption of the party ccnsl'd be prevent- ed. On the cirher hand, the followers of Lloyd George felt perfectly secure of gciir/^ before the country 'buttress- ed' by the vote of nearly two-thirds of the Conserva '.'ive party. When the re- sult of the ballot was annotmced, it was at first believed there moist have been some mistake, 'bat when the figures were verified the anti-CoaK ifcionls-ts were vociferously jubilant, white the CoaCi'jionists were simply astounded. The result is a stunning victciry for the rank and fLls led by Bonar Law and a crushing 1 vote of censure on Lfcyd George and" the Conservative . members who have supported him. As soon as K'Lng George could re- ceive him. Premier L'-oyd George wait- ed on_him at Buckdng-ham Palace and handed in the resignation of the Gov- ernment, which, of course, the King had no other course open but to ac- cept. At the same time Lloyd George, it is andterstocd, advised the King to Eeni for Bonar Law to form a new Government, a Borrar Law had led the opposition that resulted in thei overthrow of LJoyd George. In some quarters it ..was suggested that Lord Curzon might be recommended by Bonar Law -for the position, but Lord Curz:, althtMiiph he has been behind the "Dce-'ha.nSs" in the present crisis, and g-aiced much prestige by hia handling of tba Anglo-French trouble, has no personnl following, and besides, most Conservatives are ready to rec- ognize that MI iheie times the Premier ; should be a member of the House of Commons. This feeling apparently rules cut Lcrd Derby. When King George received Bonar Law Thursday right he Questioned the latter rc'jartling the Unionists' stand on the Irioh Treaty, ajid was assuredj that tlie Union is 1 '* wo-uld s;and by rt. : Later, Lord Salisbury, vci:ing the at-! titode cf the "Die-hardis," (is.-lared in ; a speech th'i-t if Ireland stood by th-3 treaty, so would the Con?ervatlv3. The resignation of the Pramier, in 1 any case, invoT-vea that of the whole goverranecit, tut in normal circum- stances a ne.v adnrirr tration might be fc'rmod. In the present instance, however, as sev7v! snribcrd'inato min- isters Itad already resl-grnai before the Carl-ton Club meetir/j, and as a gen- eral election had been practically de- cided upon, any adJnvmistratii'on consti- tuted to replace the Lloyd George 1 Government can only d<o so with the express object of going before the country without delay.

' Natural Resources Bulletin The Natural Resources Intelligrence Branch of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa says: Last year there were near- ly one million cords of pulp- wood cut in Ontario, as well as nearly three hundred million feet of other tim- ber. Over four million rail- way ties were also taken out. Nearly three and three-quarter millions of dollars of revenue waj col- lected from the forests.
