FOUGHT
TO STANDSTILL
British Premier Gives Americans
Credit for Great Deeds
in France.
GERMANY'S EYES OPEN
Lloyd George Points Out That II
British Armies Had Been Crushed
In March French Would Have
Suffered Same Fate.

London, Aug. 9.-Premier Lloyd
George, In addressing the House Of
Commons, rejoiced that the German
armies have been fought to a stand
still.
Mr.. Lloyd George praised the work
of the Americans in the fighting in
France, speaking of the trained
skill' they had displayed, and the
skilled knowledge in the manage
ment of men under trying conditions
of which their officers had given evil
dence.
Everyone knew the American
armies courage, but its trained skill,
especially that of its officers, is be-
yond expectation" he said.
The premier said the chance Ger
many had March 81 never would come
again. The American army o will
be only slightly smaller than that OF
Germany, he said.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the Allied
navies destroyed at least $50 German
submarines, half of them this year.
Lauds British Effort.
II do not wish to minimize the
great assistance rendered by the
Americans and French" said the
premier, but the world should know
what the British are doing.
For the purpose of transporting
American troops we have gone with
out 200, 900 tons of essential cargoes
every month.
IF the British had been overwhelm'
ed in March, the Americans could not
have arrived In time to save France
Mr.. Lloyd George said.
Mammoth Losses.
"Our losses In men and material al
first were beyond expectations, but
within a month $4,000 reinforce
ments had been sent across the chan
mel. Within six weeks the Germans
had been forced to a standstill. Prob
ably they will again attack the Brit
ish army because OF their failure else
where"
Mr.. Lloyd George announced thai
during July 305. 900 American arrived
at European ports, of which 1861 0t
were transported on British ships.
AS an illustration of Americas re
serve man power, the premier sale
that If America had contributed sol
diers on the same basis as Great Brit
ain, it would mean 5000, 900 men.
DislIlusionment Comes.
The German people and Germany
allies are beginning to be disillusion
ed, the premier continued. In Marcel
Germany was promising great thing
and the peace tentacles from her al
lies were withdrawn. The promise
however, he pointed out, had failed.
MI. Lloyd George declared himsel
a believer in a league OF nations, bu
said its success depended on the cor
ditions in which 1t was set up. III
commended it was useless to negotiat
peace with the German sword clanl
ing on the council table"

not seem as though / can say enough
in praise of this wonderful medicine for
the health it has brought me. "-Miss
CORA LEE HALL, West Plains, Mo.
Perhaps it may seem an extrava-
CANT statement to say that this great
remedy saved a life; but women like
Mrs. Hall, to whom it has brought
health, appreciate the danger and
suffering they have escaped too well
to doubt it! All who suffer should
try it. Why risk life and health,
without it?

British, Under Haig, and Aided by
French, Hit Hard at Enemy
in Picardy.
GOING FINE, IS REPORT
Surprise Attack Southeast Of Amiens
Opens Favorabiy to Aiiies-New
Advance Covers Front of
Thirty Miles.

Giving the Germans no time to
catch their breath after their crush
ing defeat on the Aisne-Marne front.
Marshal Ferdinand Foch has launched
q fresh blow against them In a new
sector.
Haig in Command.
The attack started at dawn today
on a wide front in Picardy, east and
southeast OF Amiens. The French
First army and the British Fourth
army are engaged in this new offens-
I've, which is under the immediate d.
rection OF Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig, the British commander-in-chief.
British and French troops attacked
early today from Albert. northeast
Of Amiens, to Montdidier, on the
Avre, southeast of Amiens.
Meager reports from the field indi-
cate that the Allies have advanced to
q depth OF about two miles south OF
the Somme and probably have taken
the villages of M~arcelcave and La
Motto en- Senterre.
II Is reported from Washington that
It is not believed American forces are
engaged In the present fighting.
Americans were holding the line at
Cantigny some time ago. but were
withdrawn and sent to the Aisne-
Marine salient where they participa-
ted in the recent victory over the Ger.
mans.
Offensive Generally Expected.
This new attack, launched just
three weeks after Field Marshal Fer
dinand Foch's mastery counteroffens
I've against the western side of the
Soissons-R Rheims salient, has been
expected since the Germans were
driven back to the Aisne and the
vesle. II was not believed that the
Allied commander would permit the
initiative to pass to the enemy after
the stunning defeat administered
along the Marine.
Fight on Familiar Ground.
The field over which the British
are fighting today is familiar ground
to them. but to the south the French
must force the enemy back from Ter
ritory newly occupied during the
March offensive. Six miles to the
eastward they will come to the old
battle-ground OF Picardy.
When the Germans withdrew In
February and March, 1917, they de
stroyed every house and building IN
the evacuated area. cut down ever,
tree and, In the words OF a German
military critic, prepared the GROUND
for future operations" 1t is over this
battlefield that the Germans mus
again retreat II the Allies are sue
cessful In their present attack.
Stubborn Resistance.
Thus far Marshal Foeh has no
thrown very large forces to the norti
Of the Vesle. The units which have
crossed are stretched along tn,
Rheims scissors highway and are
meeting with stubborn resistance from
German infantry and machine gur
organizations.
Americans RepuIse counterblows.
Several enemy co~unterattacks hav'
been withstood successfully by tn
Americans who are striving to dis
lodge the enemy from the low hill
bordering the river.
