Great artillery combatS are being

Americans Score In Raid.
With the American Army in France,
March 15.-(Delayed) )-The American
forces northwest OF Toul carried out
an important raid on the German
lines Monday night. The artillery
preparations last as minutes and
Americans entered the German de-
fenses as far as the second line. They
found number of German dead from
she'll fire, and some of those who
were retreating were shot down.
The American engineers accom-.
panying the infantry blew up enemy
dugouts. No prisoners were taken,
chiefly because of the fact that the
Germans did not remain to fight, but
ran precipitately at the approach of
the Americans. All the Americans re-
turned to their own lines, and con-
siderable information was secured.
Obliterate German Position.
The American artillery completely
obliterated German position, in

up ready for gas attack. The
projectors were discovered In a pho.
tograph taken from high in the air.

VICTORY FIRST OF ALL
League Of Nations Hinges On
Success, Says Lloyd George.
Eloquence of Words Does Not Take
Place of Fighting, Premier
Declares.

London, March 15.-That there has
,een criticism because cabinet min
listers had not given sufficient prom
inence to the idea of a league of ma
tions in their speeches, was the state
ment of Premier Lloyd George, speak
ing in London.
The Bolshevikists had taught them
one lesson-that was that a real
league OF nations did not come by
talking about 1t.
The critics had forgotten something
which was essential-that once a war
was begun, you had to fight for it,
They must not be misled by mistak-
ing phrases for facts. He could in
vent phrases about peace, which even
Prussian war lord would hail with
satisfaction.
kaiser's EIoquence Cred.
Nobody had been so eloquent on the
subject of a league of nations, said
the premier, as the German emperor.
His reply to the Pope breathed the
spirit of brotherly love, but in it there
was no word about Belgium. On the
subject OF a league of nations the
German emperor was absolutely
sound; he was prepared to put Ger
many at the head of it. All through
those protestations on the part of the
emperor, ereathed the spirit of DOM
ination.
A league of nations could only be
possible when the Entente armies had
won; only then could a league OF ma
tions become an established fact and
the sword be converted into a plough.
