LONDON, July 13. SIS p. M

of War, presiding today, at an Entente

clared that the combined offensive OF

The conference was held at the war
office and was participated in by Al

ague.
ence'" said Mr. Lloyd George there
has been a considerable change In the
fortunes of the Allies. On the date
the great Champagne offensive in the
west had Just failed 10 attain It's oD-
iective, and the French and British
armies had sustained heavy losses
without the achievement Of any partl-
cular success. In the east the enemy
had pressed the gallant armies or Rus-
sia back some hundred miles, and the
Balkans had almost been oYerrun by
the Central powers.
Victories Strike Terror.
The overwhelming victories won by
the valiant soldiers Of Russia have
struck terror into the hearts OF our
foes, and these, coupled with the I'M
mortal defense of Ferdun by our
French comrades and the brave re-
sistance Of the Italians against over
whclming odds in the southern Alps
have changed the whole complexion or
the landscape.
"Now, the combined offensive in the
east and west has wrenched the lnitla-
tive out of the hands of the enemy
never, | trust, 10 return 20 his grasp.
We have crossed the watershed and
now victory is beginning to flow in our
direction.
why have our prospects improved,
the answer is, the equipment OF our
armies has improved enormously and
is continuing to improve:
Most of our new munitlon factories
now are complete; most OF the ma
,chinery has been set up. Hundreds
of thousands of men and women, hltn-
erto unaccustomed to metal and chem
ical work. have been trained for munl-
tions making.
Every month we are turning out
hundreds of guns and howitzers, light,
medium and heavy. Our heavy guns
are rolling in at great rate and we
are turning out nearly twice as much
heavy shcl--as We fired for the great
offensive in September.
The new factories and workshops
we set up have not yet attained one
third their full capacity. but their out
put is now increasing with great
rapidity.
