ASQUITH TO QUIT
AS CABINET HEAD,
BRITISH BELIEVE
Ministry at Loggerheads.
A. Bonar Law Reported
as Slated for Premier
MILLERAND IN ENGLAND
LONDON, Oct. 20.
That Premier ABquith's illness will
prove so serious as to compel his res
ignation, ending a virtual deadlock in
the British Cabinet, was the growing be
lief In some quarters today.
The present Cabinet crisis was caused
by sharp differences of opinion over the
the Dardanelles campaign and the Gov
ernment's Balkan policy. This was re
vealed today by Sir Edward Carson when
he mirte known his reason for resigning
from the Cabinet. .
Cm son staUd his position today In the
House pf Commons. lie -made It clear
that the ca,.'j of Jills' resIgVtftiorf-waTr not
the aim pf defeating Oermfiny, but, tHa
manhe'r In whldh it should be done most
quickly and most successfully.
Following tho audience granted by King
George Tuesday to A. Bonar Law, Colon
ial Minister In the present coalition Cab
inet, who, as a Conservative, certainly
would become Premier If Asqulth. a Lib
eral, should retire, his Majesty today re
ceived Sir Edward Carson, who quit as
Attorney General out of dissatisfaction
with the Asqulth Ministry's war policy.
Thee conferences were widely Inter
preted as Indicating that a general Cab
inet shakeup Is at least under considera
tion. Though there was no idea that Franco
was making uny suggestions concerning
tho British Ministry, it waB believed also
that the matter may have been indi
rectly Involved In tho Cabinet committee
meeting Tuesday with War Minister
Mtllerand, of France, and French Minis
ter Cambon, at which It was taken for
granted the Allies- military policy was
discussed.
That Asqulth was losing Influence was
generally conceded, many even of his
friends having openly come over to the
view that, though a capable adminis
trator, the Premier Is not the man for
such an emergency as the present one.
Jt was learned on reliable authority
today that Sir Edward Carson's resig
