While the premier's triumph was
assured, Mr.. Lloyd Georges explain

awaited. The opposition element dis

Attitude of the Times.
The Times took the attitude that
debate upon the affair can hardly
help but do harm.
Gen. Maurice's assertion will
raise doubt about our cooperation
with the French and the esta blish-
ment of generalissimO," said the
Times. "If Gen. Maurice's assertion
is proved, the ministers must go. but
if they are improved the insidious
intrigue against the government,
which has a deeper inspiration than
its agents realize, must end +"
The Daily Mail says that the Ger
mans are about TO attack again on
the western front and that the af-
fair must be decided before we arc
again at death grips"
The Telegraph deplores the in
cident, pointing out that the pro-
ceedings are disadvantageous TO al
lied interests in enemy countries.
The Morning Post expressed the
fear that "the fall of the Lloyd
George cabinet would bring in the
administration ousted in December
1916" The paper added: we want
an administration chosen on the
principle of ,suita bleness for the
job"
To support Government.
The unionist war committee at "A
meeting last night decided to sup

RAPIDITY AND EXTENT OF
CHANGE IN SITUATION

With the French Army in France
After the battle of the Avre, the stu
alton of the belligerents presents q
change which for rapidity and extent
has rarely been approached in mill
tary history. Marsha1's Foch's strate-
gy and the mastery tactics OF the
generals commanding the armies
and groups Of armieh under him have
IN three weeks wrested from the Ger
mans what required four months for
them to obtain at cost estimated
at from 100000 to 100000 men.
The immediate results of the coun-
ter-ofensives which will have the
greatest bearing on subsequent oper-
ations are the clearing Of the Cha
teau-Thierry pocket, ending the men
&C to Epernay and Paris; the liberaa-
ton Of Montdidier, ending the menace
to Amines; the freeing OF the impor-
tant eastern railroad line from Paris
to Chalons and the equally impor-
tant northern line from Paris to
Amiens, restoring to the allies means.
Of communication which give :herl
enormously greater ease in future
movements Of troops.

FREEING REGION BETWEEN
THE OISE AND SOMME

The capture of R1becourt by the
French marks an important epoch in
the offensive, which has for it's imme-
date purpose the freeing of the region
between the Somme and the Disc of
the enemy. AS gain from the strate-
g1c standpoint it ranks with the TAX
ing by the French of the forest and
hill positions between the Matz and the
Disc, which has brought the French
almost to the gates of Lassigny.
Through Ribecourt lies an open route
up the Disc valley to Noyon-a route
by rail, and the big national thor
Oughfare, not to mention the canal
which parallels the roadwayg for the
greater part of the way. Noyon is
only little more than six miles north
east Of Ribecourt.
Although they are still encountering
violent resistance, the French are con-
tinuing to make progress through the
wooded and hilly country between the
Matz and the Disc, where the Ger
mans, from recesses in the forests, on
spurs and in the canyons, are using
machine guns innumerable. Gas also
Id being loosed in great quantities by
the enemy. Almost entire control OF
the Thiescourt plateau and the other
high ground on this sector Is now in
the hands Of the French.

GERMANS FEARING
CAPTURE RETREAT
CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY PLAY.
ED ON PART OF FRENCH AND
AMERICAN FORCES.
ROYE AND NOYON IN PERIL
Retreat Of Foe Along disc Valley
May Cause Entire Enemy Line
to Break in Unison:

Fresh reinforcements and large
numbers Of guns have been brought
ND by the enemy to aid him in his
endeavors to hold the line, which is
essential to the safety Of the German
armies now in the pocket described by
the Somme on the north and east,
and on the Disc on the south.
Notwithstanding the enemy's efforts
however, Chaulnes is receiving
mighty visitation Of shells from the
allied guns, and Roye has ben so en-
croached upon that it is now under
heavy crossfire from both the north
and south, and seemingly both towns
ultimately must be evacuated. An
added danger to Roye is the fact that
the French in their operations are
knocking at the door of Lassigny,
about seven miles to the south, and
also are pressing forward eastward to-
ward Noyon in a wedge-driving ma.
neuver, which not only is outf1ank-
ing Reye, but bringing Noyon daily.
nearer the range Of the big guns.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that the Germans, fearing capture in
the pocket between Roye and Disc, al
ready are rereating along the Disc
valley toward Noyon, and If the state
ments should prove true it is not un-
likely that the entire German battle
line to the north will give way in uni
son, and that even there may be q re-
adjustment of the enemy front from
scissors to Rheims.
Far to the north from Ypres to Al
Der there has ben considerable ac-
tivity on the part OF the British and
French forces against the Germans.
The latest German communication as
serts that all the attacks were re-
pulsed.
On the vesle river the Germans in
attacks against Fismett, which is held
by the Americans and French are de-
clared to have driven@the allies to the
southern bnk of the river. A coutner-
tack, however, resulted in the reoccu-
patton of Fismett.

Germans Apparently Successful in
Holding Back British and French
From Somme to Disc.

North and south of the Somme the
Germans have lost further important
ground. In the former region they
have evacuated their positions over
a fve-mile front to the British north
of Albert, while in the latter they
have been beaten back in the hill and
wooded district just north of the Disc
river by the French.
German front line trenches at Beau
mont Hamel, Serre, Puisiexau-Mont
and Bucquoy have been found unten-
able by the enemy in the face of the
recent activity by the British all along
the line from Albert to Arras, while
the French have persevered in their
violent attacks against the Germans
on the sector, which dominates the
lower portion of the Picardy plain
and the Disc valley, and have en-
croached further upon the Lassigny
massif and the Thiescourt plateau
and further south have captured the
important town of Ribecourt
Unofficial reports have announced
the capture of Lassigny by the French
and of all the German positions be-
tween the western outskirts of Bray.
Sur-Somme and Etinehem by the
Australians. There is, however, no
official confirmation of them.
: From the somme to the Disc, except
in the latter region, where the French
have made further gains, the Ger
mans seemingly have had further sue
cess in holding back the allied troops
and still are in possession of Chaul-
mes and Roye, upon the capture Of
which the efforts of the British and
French have been conferred.

separate the French armies of the

rupture of the junction between the
French and British. The most dis
astrous consequence to the Germans
aside from the heavy losses they sus-
