GERMAN LEADERS
PLAN BLOW AGAINST
The ENGLISH FLEET
fBy Associated Press.)

PARIS, Aug. Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg and Gen. Ludendorff, in
order to maintain their prestige and
stimulate the depressed morale at
home, usually we'll informed observ-
ers here insist, intend to strike blow
against the British front in conjunc-
tion with the German fleet. An order
issued by the new chief of the Ger
man admiralty staff, Admiral Scheer,
is said to express the wish of the fleet
to attack the British naval forces.
Meanwhile, the lull on the Rheims
scissors front continues. The Ger
mans, it is believed here, are putting
their heavy artillery in place and dig
ging themselves in with the intention
of defending the positions between the
Vesle and Aisne, as long as possible.
The allies have only light forces north
of the Vesle and are obliged to await
their heavy guns before pressing the
offensive If the allied commanders
judge it opportune to push home an
attack on that sector.
Mercel Hutin, in the Echo de Paris,
says there is not hurry and declares
the allies have proof that the Germans
are suffering seriously from lack Of
effectiveness Some observers believe
that the Germans are regrouping their
divisions in preparation for a broad
defensive rather than early often

LONDON, Aug. General Foch by
his counter-stroke had driven the en-

was not over, he would be a sanguine
man on the German general staff who
would predict that Germany should
obtain military victory said Pre-
mier Lloyd George today. The Pre-
mier characterized General Foch's S
counter offensive as the most bril-
liant in the annals of the war"
The Germans, declared the premier,
had attempted their land offensive be
cause the submarine offensive had
failed

already with the coiors Great Britain

the most part voluntarily The Do
minion 100000 and India 1.25O,0O0.
One hundred and fifty German sub
marines have been destroyed, Lloyd
George announced and more than half
of them in the last year. Until all the
allies were defeated at sea, Mr.. Lloyd
George declared, Germany could never
triumph.
The premier was speaking in the
house of commons, making a state
ment on the war situation. The house

Gus leaders in the second battle of the

by the press. General Foch has been
made a marshal of France, while Gen

early conclusion. General March said
the shipment Of the men overseas
would continue according to the pro-

general discussion of the subject and
the necessity for amending the pres

Marshal General Crowder yesterday.
Questioned by senators regarding
the apparent change of 'front.' of the
war department in its program, Gen.
March told the governments decision
In accord with the Paris conference.
For the new program, Secretary
Baker and other officials concluded
that there must be an extension of the
draft ages.
While about three million men are
now under arms, army officers think
there should be approximately five
million men at home and in France.
In order not to disturb the present
draft system and to avoid calling men
who had been given exemption enten-
sion Of the draft ages Is necessary.
