The Premier characterized Gen. Foch's counter of- fensive as the most brilliant in the annals of war. The Germans, said the Premier, had attempted their land offensive because the submarine offensive had failed. One hundred and fifty German sub- deen destroyed, Mr. Lloyd George announced; more than half of them in the last year. He said that until all the Allies were di feated at sea Germany could never triumph. } Bince August, 1914, including those already with the colors, Great Britain alone, said the Premier, had raised for the army and navy 6,250,000 men, | for the most part volunta The dgminions had contributed 1,000,000 men and India 1,250,000 men, The American army, the Premier said, would soon be not far short of the German army itself.

WITH THE AMBRICAN ARMY ON THB VESLE, Aug. 7 (Associated Press).—-The Germans appear to be determined not to permit American engineers to throw bridges across the Vesle, and as a result several Amer- jean officers have had thrilling expe- riences. The bridge builders had been eager to proceed with their work de- spite the German fire, and their offi- cers have had to hold them back. Lieut. B. F. Mail of California on Tuesday was under cover with sixty men on the south bank awaiting a lull in the German shelling in order to build a bric It was intended to build a footbridge on the foundations of a bridge destroyed by the Germans and then to put up a larger structure, Rather than expose his men, Lieut. Mail, carrying two planks, started on on an exploration trip by himself. The Lieutenant reached the south- ern pier just as the German machine gunners commenced a heavy fire, This did not stop him. He tossed one plank into a temporary position and then put the other in place from the south pier to the pier in the middle lot the river, The enemy fire becom- ing warmer, Lieut. Mail jumped into the river and took cover on the north b Afterward he recrossed to the south bank and rejoined his command amid cheers from the soldiers. At another point further west of cis R. Newcomber d Capt, James P. Growden, during daylight, felled a tree across the Vesle and crossed to the north bank. There they chopped down another tree, which fell toward the southern bank. Soon afterward they had completed a footbridge with the tree trunks as stringers, Newcomber and Growden had gone ahead of the bridge building gang to the position, and when the gang arrived they found the work well started, The enemy discovered the footbridge soon afterward and since has subjected it to a lively fire. behead eae CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
