LLOYD GEORGE AT WORK AT TASK OF MAKING CABINET Indications that Prominent Lib. erals and Unionists Will Refuses to Accept Places. SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT Unionists, Seventy Liberals, Possibly Laboy M:ambers to Back New Regime. FIRST TEST COMES MONDAY BULLETIN. London, Dec. %, —That David Lloyd Geosge has virtually succeeded in forming a cabinet is indicated in the following announcement in the court circuldr tonight: “The Right Honorable David Lloyd George had an audience with the king this evening and accepted his majes- ty's offer of the post of prime minis- ter and first lord of the treasury and kissed his hands upon his appoint- ment.” | London, Dec. ’.—It having been decided that David Lloyd George will undertake the forma.ion of a ministry, political circles today were inferested chiefly in personnel of the new cab- inet and the prospects of the new pre- mier getting together a combination that will have the support of a mg- jority in the House of Commons. Few, if any, of the liberal members of Mr. Asquith’s cabinet are likely to accept office unde ' Mr. Lioyd George and some of the unionist members like J. Austen Chamberlain and Lord Robert Ce:il are likely to stand aside. However, it is assumed that at the conferencc at Buckingham palace they assured the new premier of their benevoleat,neutrality, thus making his task muck. sinipler. Support Now in Sight. Provincial liberal newspapers like the Mancheste, Guardian and the Liverpool Post makc a plea to the liber.Is to giye the government a fair chance as it is wenerally assumed that it is the embodiment of British determination to win the war. Ac- cording to one estimate Mr. Lloyd George can rely on the suppoi. of vir- tually all the unionist members and of seventy liberals and hopes to obtain the backing of labor members, who will come to a final decision at a meeting today, It is also reported that Mr. Lloyd Gecrge believes he will be able to offer goncessions to the nationalists which will bring theay ifito power. r Nucl¢us at Hand, As far as the cabinet is concerned the new premier has a nucleus in A. Bonar Law, Lord Derby, Lord Cur- zon, Sir Frederick E. Smith and Sir Edward Carson, while Viscount Reading, the lord chief justice, is likely to join the ministry. Other liberal members may be drawn from men such as Sir Frederick Cawley, member of the House of Commons| from the Prestwick division of Lan- cashire, and Sir George Pollard, member from the Eccles division of Lancashire, who, although the public has heard little of them, have done cfficient work in committees. Dr. Christopher, Addison, parliamentary under-secretary for munitions, is .ai- most_certain to have a place in the cabiffiet, and Colonel Winston Spen- “cer Churchill, former first lord of the admiralty, is slated for a hjgh office. First Test Monday. Under the circumstances it is be- lieved the construction of the cabi- net will be a matter of only a day or so apd that by Monday the new government will meet the House of Commons to learn what manner of reception will be accorded it. A test of its strength can be made on the vote of credit, which must be moved immediately. Today's session of the House of Commons was expected to be a for- mal one, it being doub.iul whaether any of the ministers would put in an appearance.

A, WELSH, Meteorologist, OMAHATO HAVENEW | PASSENGER STATION Union Pacific Secures Option On Large Tract Near-Six- teenth and Leavenworth. NOW HELD BY ROCK ISLAND | The rapid growth of Omaha and !Nchraska and the immense increase in business that has come along with it has stirred the Union Pacific Rail- ‘mad company to action. As | sult Omaha is in a fair way to get somie of the things that are coming to it in the way of better passenger tand freight facilities, and active op-| | erations looking to this end are ex-| | pected v start before the end of an- { other year, | Indications now point to the begin- ining of work upon a modern sufficiently large passenger station ter’ | handle and care for the travel. At the same time indications point to the construction of an immense up- to-date and modern freight” depot, taking the place of the antiquated structure built at Ninth and Jones streets. by the Union Pacific more than twenty-five years ago. Two New Stations. It seems to be pretty well assured that the Union Pacific is going to take the lead in the erection of a mod- ern passenger station and that in- dependently it is going to construct a freight depot for itsclf and the other roads that are its tenants, Some five years ago, at a cost of about $600,000, the Rock Island bought a large tract of ground west of the Sixteenth street viaduct, in- tending to use it for freight depot and yardage purposes. Since then the Rock Island has hit the toboggan and has beep in hard lines, finan- cially, Now reorganization is in progress with a view to putting the company on its feet.

So when he | had a chance t¢ buy thirty-five wild | range horses from Coconino county, | Arizona, for a price that was rather low, thought he would cautiously | look into the matter, This was a part of the tectimony | brought out in the United States dis-| trict court in the celebrated horse” case, in which the governmnent is prosecut the Uited States Li Stock com- ~v and the € Land | and Investment company for using ihe | mails to defraud. I M:st Be Caught. Mr. Dufur decided he would give | §$1,780 for thirty-five of the animals, provided they were caught for him | and put in cars at Flaggw 3, Ariz. Ac- cordingly, he drew up hisTown bill of sqle and specified exactly the kind! of animals he preferred. He didn't| care so much for the breed, but he was rather particular as to the color. | Dufur, banker of Lorimer, la.,| casting about, the officials have con- cluded that they do not need the property west of the Uixteenth. street viaduct. Some days ago it was put on the market, with the Unign Pa- | cific being in un an option to take it over at a cool $1,000,000, which is said to be cheap, considering the lo- cation, # ‘This property, which extends north almost to Sixteenth and Leaven- worth streets, it is asserted, makes an ideal location for a uaion passen- ger station, convenient to the busi- ness portion of the city and atcessi- ble to all the roads that would usc the building. Railroad men who are not connetted with the Union Pacific, bu: are high up in the councils of other roads that would use the sta- tion, assért that this is the place for the passenger station and that there it will probably be lotated. Chance - to ‘Enlarge ~Yards: With the construction of the pas- senger station south of Leaveaworth street, the way is cleared for the enlargement of the Union Pacific yards, something /that is badly needed. The business :as outgrown them and the condition of the old freight house is bad. Removing the passenger yards to the Sixteenth = and Leavenworth streets ¥ location, over the distance from Thirteenth to Fourth strect, would give the Union Pacific room for eight to ten additional freight tracks and with this increase in fa- cilities it is figured that there would be sufficient trackage for twenty-five i years to come, even if Omaha en- joyed an unprecedented growth dur- ing the whole of that time. New Freight Depot. | In connection with converting the present passenger train tracks into freight car yardage comes along the construction of a new freight depot by the Union Pacific, but the location for it has not “yet been. determined. However, it is to be built south of the present structure or on the ground bought by the company around the | Eleventh street viaduct somle years ago. The determination of the Paxton- Gallagher company to erect a new building on the site of the present jobbing house is another move that comes along with the proposed new freight depot by the Union Pacific. it i rted that it was not un- urances were given that a new freight house would be erected that the Paxton-Gallagher people de- cided to build on the present site. The Paxton-Gallagher company has taken a lease on the Ames building, directly - north of ,the old house, and will move into it. E dore, wrecking the old building will be started and the ground cleared that construction may begin early next spring. The new building will cost close to $500,000, eleven stories high, of brick and steel construction and | modern in every respect. It will rise ven stories above the floor of the | Tenth strect viaduct and will be the largest grocery jobbing house west | of Chicago.

Smith of the Union Stock company would be an easy thing to do. Smith came out to help me and show me around, but we never ran across any of ‘('he brands that Smith had sold | me. After going into the wild recesses | of Coconino county, he said that the | few, horses“he saw grew wilder in-| stead of tamer, as Smith had told| him. Failing to find horses with his | brand, he said that Smith gave up the | search and left him to pursug his own ! animals.

Military commentators in_entente capitals point to the probability that the actions just prior to the capture of Bucharest were fought merely, with a view to delaying the advance of Field Marshal'von Mackensen's forces and aiding-in-the escape of the main body of*Roumaniana.
