I The i>ollt icu l crisis tn Great Bijtnlfi has resulted in " i l?t* w'Hif coalition cabinet headed by Herbert II. Asqulth us prime minister. The resignation of Mr. Asquith has been aw?|itwl by Kititf George, who has tendered Hut portfolio to Andrew itouar Law,. Unionist leader in the House of ('ominous. Should Mr. TPtouar Law decline the appointment the feeling In London l? that David Lloyd George will receive tender. In Rumania ( he font's of the t Vil li al Powers art* continuing their drive toward Mucharcfct. Already almost en compassed on the south and m -nth west hy the Invaders the capital apparently Is belli}? rapidly approached from tin' wtvst and northwest, with, the Ru manians and Russians nowhere able to stein the tide. The encircling movement to the* northwest from the regions of Tergo vlstea and Petrosltm is dangerously threatenlng tlu? town of Ploeclitt and the only railroad runnliig front Ruchn rost efcept to the east. If the pres sure of the Teutons is manifested, the Indlcalons are that they soon will be at {he doors of the capital. In the northwest, from tlijf Carpa thians to the Moldavian frontier re gion, the llusxlun ovenslve is ,mnklng little If any progress. While Petro grad announces the capture of another range of heights on the Maldavian front, the Russian war otfice admits the recapture by the Teutons lu the wooded Carpathians sector of a height son tfi of Voroneshka. Berlin says the Russian attacks everywhere have been without avail. On the Macedonian frone cast of the Cerntf river the Serbians north of Grunlshte and Burtiinlrtza have taken nu additional fortitled position from the Bulgarians. The Bulgarians in this region are said to be retreating. Artillery duels and various small at tacks by iufantry continue on the Western front in France and Belgium. The Austro-Itallan and Russian war theaters have been barren of liujM>r tauf events. v The Italian steamer Palermo bus been torpedoe<l and sunk, off the SnajAr. 1wti COflUt, HCCfiftTTnglo dispatches from Madrid.

Supplies of coal In Great Britain to vessels other than British or Kn fenfe n tiled craft and neuirals^-wht* in such a way that British or allied Interests are benefited," can no longer 1k? guaranteed, according to an an nouncement by the British embassy In Washington. The shortage and in creasing scarcity of tonnage Is given as the reason for this action. First Monday Hale*.
