LLOYD GEORGE DECLARES
Premier Says $50 u Boats Have
Been Sunk and That Britain Has
Recruited 6,25O,OoO Men.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-''Marshal Foch
by his counter strike has driven the
enemy back, and, although the danger
was not over. he would be a sanguine
man on the German General STAR
who would now predict that Germany
could obtain a military victory" said
Premier Lloyd George to-day in the

characterized Gen. Foch's counter Of

annals OF war.

attempted their land offensive because
the submarine often sive had failed
One hundred and fifty German sub
marines have been destroyed. Mr.
Lloyd George announced: more than
half Of them in the last year. He
said that until all the Allies were de-

CROWS EACH DAY;
ILLUSIONS BROKEN
One Socialist Organ Says Hour Is
"Black and Dark" Another
"War Can Be Lost"

LONDON. Aug. The despondent
tone OF the latest German press COM
ments is emphasized daily in special
dispatches from Holland. A despatch
to the Daily Mail from The Hague to-
day includes an editorial by the Dus-
seldorf Nachrichten, which says that
nobody looking into the future can
see an end to the war.
"For though II is true that the end
might come quickly" 1t adds. "it
could only be an end OF terror as in
Russia"
The Vorwaerts Of Berlin says that
events OF recent days at last have
shattered the illusion. created by in
spired optimism, that Germany is in
vincible. 1t says:
"The German people at last realize
the colossal gravity of the situation
Let us have courage to admit that as
long as the war is not ended it is not
won and can be lost"
The principal North German organ
OF the majority Socialists, the Buerg-
er Heitung OF Bremen, says:
BLACK and dark is the hour. The
sacrifices made by the people are i'm
measurable. and those Of the fifth year
of the war will be gigantic, but nc
refreshing breath OF freedom and
civic equality blows through the op-
pressive night OF our discomfort"

build a bridge. 1t was intended to
build a footbridge on the foundations
of bridge destroyed by the Germans
and then to put up larger structure.
Rather than expose his men, Lieut..
Mail, carrying Two planks, started on
on an exploration trip by himself.
The Lieutenant reached the south
ern pier just as the German machine

This did not stop him. He tossed one
plank into a temporary position and
then put the other in place from the
south pier TO the pier in the middle
OF the river. The enemy fire becom-
ing warmer. Lieut. Mail jumped into
the river and took cover on the north
bank Afterward he recrossed to the
south bank and rejoined his command
amid cheers from the soldiers.
At another point further west OF
Fismes Major Francis X. Newcomber
and Capt. James +. Growden, during
daylight, felled tree across the Vesle
and crossed to the north bank. There
they chopped down another tree,
which fell toward the southern bank.
Soon afterward they had completed
footbridgc with the tree trunks as
stringers. Newcomber and Growden
had gone ahead OF the bridge building
gang to the position. and when the
gang arrived they found the work well
started. The enemy discovered the
footbridge soon afterward and since
has subjected 1t to lively fire.
