London, July IA. - The Entente allies
offensive on the western front is only
in its beginning, declared Premier. AS

House of Commons that the Govern
ment had decided to ask worker to
forego their August holidays because
of the demand for munitions in France.
He expressed conviction that the work.

as to make it plain to Great Britain's
foes that the offensive in it's present
intensity of bombardment and assault
would. If necessary, "be continued in
definitely"
The Premier also announced that by
royal proclamation the August bank
holidays would be postponed, and he
appealed to all classes for postpone
ment of all holidays until further and
definite progress of the offensive has
been secured.
Munitions Supply Essential
That offensive" he continued, as
only in its beginning and it necessarily
requires for its success a continuous
supply of munitions OF all kinds. From
the success achieved we have been able
to gauge the paramount necessity OF
avoiding even the slightest risk of re-
striction of the use Of munitions in the
field, not merely in the weeks immedi-
ately before us, but until our objective
is achieved.

weeks accumulation. The new factories
and workshops we set up have not yet
attained one-third their full capacity,

dent Poincare in an address to-day
and of winning from their WEAKNESS
a peace which for Prussian militiarism
would be only strategam for hiding
preparations for fresh aggression.
'"They know well that the seas are
closed to them, that they have lost
their colonies; and they know equally
well tha the allies rely less on the
geographical positions of their
trenches than on the condition of their
trop5 and their reserves, their capacity
for resistance and offensive and the
moral temperament of their peoples
and their armies.
I'VE are fighting not for honor alone
but for honor and life. To be or not
to be-that is the painful problem
imposed on the conscience of the great
European nations.

the violation of rights at the expense
of France or her allies, and for the
guarantees for a definite safe guard

delivered in connection with the cele-
bration of the French National holi-

have fallen at the front. Turning to-

London, July 14.-At daylight this
morning the British, resuming the Of
fensive north of the Somme, attacked
the German second line defenses, and
according to the report of their COM
mander, General Sir Douglas Haig,
succeeded in penetrating them on a
front of four miles. Press dispatches
from the front add that the villages
of Bazentin-le -le- Grand and Longueval,
north of Montauban, and the remain
ing portion OF Trones woods were
taken by the British
While it is said the British would
not allow any great length of time to
elapse before continuing their op-
erattons, 1t was hardly believed the
second German line would be attacked
after only one day of artillery prepa-
ration, for 1t was only the day before
yesterday that they completed capture
of the first line in the region between
Hardecourt and Ovilleres. The direction
of the attack, too, was something of
surprise, for instead of pushing on
toward Combles. General Haig chose
to attack the flank of the Germans
who faced Contamination and Ovilleres
and those who still occupy Posieres.
The advance to Longueval and Bazen-
tin-le-Grand, II accomplished, gives the

roads running in various directions,
which have been a great help to the
Germans in supplying their army
directly south OF the Ancre river.

News of the British successes was
received in London with the greatest
enthusiasm. It has given added weight
to the request of the government to
workmen to foreeo the August holi-
days so that the army may be kept

supplies already on hand must be
greater than was generally believed
else General Haig would not have been
able to continue his offensive without
an intermissiou.
There was no news this morning of
important developments on the re-
mainder of the western front, but at
last accounts the French were pre-
pairing to resume their offensive south
Of the Somme. while the Germans were
still hammering st the defenses of Yer
dun. The opinion is held in France,
however, that continuation of the
Somme battle will compel the Ger
mans to slacken their efforts at Yer
