FOC,H'S COUNTER
STROKE MEETS
WITH APPROVAL
Lloyd George Declares i,
Most Brilliant in Annals
of War"

London, Aug. 7.-"General Foeh by
his counter stroke has driven the
enemy back. and althoukh the dam
ger was not over. "he would be. a
sanguine man on the German general
staff who would. now predict that
Germany could obtain a military vic
tory" said Premier Lloyd George to-
day. The premier characterized Gen.
eral Foch's counter offensive as ''the
most brilliant in the annals of war"
T The Germans, declared the premier
had attempted their land offensive
because Of the submarine warfare
had failed. &
Mr.. Lloyd George stated that dur
ing the month of July 305.000 Ameri-
can troops had been brought over,
1850 of them in British ships.
E Since August, 1914. including those
already with the colors, Great Britain
the army and navy 6.250.000 men,
for the most part, voluntarily. The do
minions had contributed 100000
men and India 1,25O,OOO men.
One hundred and fifty German SUBJ
marines have been destroyed Mr..
Lloyd George announced more than
half of them in the last year.
Untils all the Allies were defeated
at sea, Mr.. Lloyd George declared,
Germany could never triumph.
The premier was speaking in the
ment on the war situation. The house
will adjourn tomorrow until October
Is. @
Mr.. Lloyd George, in alluding to, the
subject Of peace, said that the people
who had made the war were still in
evidence and they could not have
peace so long as they were predomi-
mating in the councils Of the enemy.
Everyone wanted peace, the premier
added, but.4it must be peace that
was just and durable-one with pow
ser behind it.
In further reference to the fighting
in France. the premier declared It
was too early>ftos say the German
efforts have been exhausted. The
Germans still had powerful forces in
reserve. he pointed out, but 1T. was
not too early to say that the chance
which they had son March FL, would
not again present itself. s-e 4 It
+ The American army, the premier
said. would soon be not far short OF
the German army itself.
Promises FAil. /.
The German people and Germany's
Allies were beginning to be disillus-
ioned, the premier continued. In
March, Germany was promising
great things and the peace tcntacles
from her Allies were withdrawn. The
promise, however. he pointed out,
had failed. and the German harvest
was short although Nilitarily the
Germans had been at the, height Of
their power. 5ss. n II IA, 35St

was supplementary to that of Provost
Marshal General Crowder yesterday.
Questioned regarding the appar-
emily Change Of 'front.' Of the war de-
partment in its war program, General
March told Of the governments de-
cision in accord with the Paris con-
ference. q
For the new program Secretary
Baker and other officials concluded
that there must be an extension Of
the draft age.
While about three million men are
now under arms, army officials think
there should be approximately s.
100000 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, ex-
tension of the draft ages is necessary.
From General March's testimony
and other, information received the
committee has gained the impression
that while all men between the ages
of 8 and As would be subject to mill
tary duty under the new law, it is
proposed that. those between 1s and
20 years. Of, age shall be kept in this
country until the last.

WATERLOO PRESS
men ORDERED TO
WORK OR FIGHT
Exemption Board Declares
Newspaper Work Not
Essential.

Waterloo, Iowa, Aug. 7.-Thirteen
employees of local newspaper, in
Guiding reporters, pressmen and ad-
vertising solicitors, today were noti-
fed by the Waterloo exemption board
that they must either engage in a
productive occupation or be placed in
class one Of the draft. Members Of
the exemption board said they had
interpreted the work or fight order
so that it includes newspaper en-
ployes..
The business manager of the news
paper intimated today that he would
appeal, declaring it was his opinion
that newspapers and their employees
had been held as essential by the gov
ernment
Washington, Aug. 7.-Newspaper
work never has been included among
the non-essential occupations out
lined in the work or fight order,
nor has it been the intention of the
that men legitimately employed in
publishing newspapers should be re-
Quired to seek other occupations.
Officers connected with the admin
istration of the draft law regulations
today expressed surprise at the ruling
Of the board at Waterloo, that en-
ployes of a. paper there should seek
more productive employment or be
called into the military service. They
said the action Of the local board
probably would be overturned by the
district board to which it will be ap-
pealed.
Raoa arso the wafer1oo ru1;rr on
parently is so opposed to regulations
governing the work or fight" order,
some doubt was expressed as to
whether it had been interpreted cor
rectly. 1t was suggested that the or
der might have been issued to certain
individuals in the search Of deferred
classifcations for men for active serv-
