The premier characterized General Foch’s counter offensive as the most brilliant im the history of the war. ‘The Germans, said the premier, had attempted their land offensive because their submarine operations had failed. Lloyd George: stated that:during July 350,000 American soldiers had been. brought over, 150,000 of them in Brit- ish’ ships. } Since August, 1914, Great Britain alone, the premier said, had raised 6,340,000 men, mostly. through volun- teers’ The dominions had contributed 1,000,000 men and India 1,250,000 men. One hundred and fifty subma- rines had been destroyed, most of them within the last year. Germany, he said; cannot triumph on land until it wins by sea. ~ ‘The premier was speaking ‘i in the house of commons, making a statement on the war conditions. (By ASSOCIATED PRESS) ! Artillery duels and patrol actions continue along the Nesle front, while the allies and Germans make ready for future fight- ing. Whether the German crown prince will attempt a. definite stand ‘between the Vesle and Aisne is not yet clear, but,it seems * ‘apparent ‘that. he is. preparing for further efforts to check .the ‘allied ‘advance. -His medium caliber guns are bombarding..the ‘allied. positions .south ofthe Vesle intensely, and he has.been making strong efforts to dislodge the French and American troops nolan: bridgeheads on ‘the north bank: sia, >. | ATTEMPTS UNSUCCESSFUL ey All his attempts, however, have met with failure; It; was to be expected that several days would elapsé before the allies could be prepared to renéw their offensive across’ the:Vesle. “The Q ; impered | the thovemént. of guns and: reinforce. ments, a8: wall ‘as ‘aerial ‘scout work. in is’ reported: sto, have, pale again, on the battlefront Tuesday afternoon,” +7)!

West of Fismes, Tuesday, German battalions prepared to attack Amer- ican bridge builders in force. The entire force was wiped out by American machind gunners. , South of Mgllancourt the Germans attacked yesterday and took sdme of the ground recently won by Australians astride the Brai-Corby road. This morning the British counter attacked and ; Some of the enemy ‘troops were taken captives. British troops’ at the apex of the German salient in Flanders have pushed forward their outposts still farther on a front of 2,000 yards on the Pacaut wood. Prisoners were captured by, the British, ENGLISH GAIN GROUND \ London, Aug. 7.—In an attack carriedsout this morning Heat” Mallancourt the British regained the ground taken from them yes- i terday along oe ‘Bray-Corby road north ‘of the Somme. y "FRENCH, CONTINUE TO GAIN Paris, Aug, @—French troops last night in the Montdidier ‘area gained the.ground south of Sramicourt and, southeast of Montdidier the war-office announced today. Along the Vesle the French continued tg repulse German attacks, especially, at Braisne and Soissons. The war office announced that 100 prisoners have been ‘taken east of Braisne. The Germans, today made a local attack against,the French positions in Champagne. They were repulsed. In the course of the fighting along the Vesle the. French occupied the station at Ciry-Salsogny, just to the west of the bend in. the Vesle, where it’ turns northward to join the Aisne. GERMANS DIG THEMSELVES IN Amsterdam, Aug. 7.—Field Marshal Hindenburg and. Gen- eral von Ludendorff, in order to maintain their prestige, accord- ing to usually well informed forces here, intend to launch a blow against the British coast in conjunction with the German fleet, which is anxious to make this attempt. Meanwhile the lull on the Rheims-Soissons front continues. The Germans, it is believed’ here, are putting their heavy artillery in place and digging themselves in with the intention of defend- ing the position between the Vesle and the Aisne as long as pos- sible. The allies have only light forces west of the Vesle and are forced to await. the coming of ‘their big guns before launching an offensive, should such a course be determined advisable. EXCITEMENT ALONG RHINE Washington, D. C., Aug. 7.—Documents captured ‘by British airmen betray the state of excitement which prevails along the German Rhine, and because of the persistent bombing of British airmen. They also show that in one case where the Germans report the successful bombing of an objective west ‘of the allied front they did not come within 15 miles of the target... When the allied airmen were over Coblenz an alarm was rung at Cologne and the mills ceased work. It was as though an attack should be launched on Baltimore and Washington would: suspend all opetations. ! ‘Nwon back the positions. LAND.
