GERMANY UNABLE NOW 10 SCORE 4 VICTORY
Germans Attempted Land Olien- sive Because Subs Failed Great Britain and Colonies Have Raised S.500.000 Men.

London, Aug. 7.-Gen. Foch, by his counter stroke, had driven the enemy back, and, although the danger was not over, "he would be a sanguine man on the German general staff who would now predict that Germany could obtain a military victory" said Premier Lloyd George today. The premier characterized Ger. Foch'S counter affensive as "the most bril- liant in the annals of war"
 The Germans, declared the pre- mer, had attempted their land otfen- sive because the submarine offensive had failed.
 Mir. Lloyd George stated that dur ing the month of July 305,000 Ameri- can troops had been brought over. 1S5,000 of them in British ships.
 Since August 1914, including those already with the colors, Great Britain alone. said the premier, had raised for the army and navy 6,250,000 men for the most part voluntarily. The dominions had contributed 1,000,000 men and India 1,250, ,000 men.
 One hundred and fifty German sub marines have been destroyed, Mir. Lloyd George announced, more than half of them in the last year.
 Until all the allies were defeated at sea, Mir. Lloyd George declared, Ger many could never triumph.

BRITISH 60 FORWARD ON F|VE.MILE FRONT
 ON CLARENCE RIVER
They Advanced Their Lines to Depth of 1000 Yards-Ger- man Efforts Along Brave COrbie Road Repulsed.

London, Aug. British troops over front of nearly five miles have pushed their line forward to a depth of 1000 yards between the Lave and Clarence rivers, according to the British official communication issued tonight. Counter attack by the Ger mans along the Braye- Corbier road have been repulsed
 After remaining for "A hours in the trenches they formerly occupied astride the Braye-C Corbier road, the Germans were attacked and expelled this morning by the British, who cap tured number of prisoners. It was from these positions that the enemy was driven about week ago.
 Early yesterday morning a strong enemy force attacked and managed to get possession of most of their old trenches, but their occupation was short-lived. The positions are now firmly in the hands of the British, who launched their counter attack at o'clock this morning.
 The day official statement reads:
 At an early hour this morning the British troops holding the sector on our front southwest of oMrlancourt counter attacked and regained all of the most important positions of the ground taken from them by the enemy in his attack yesterday. All the objectives of our counter attack have been secured and a number of prisoners captured by us.
 AS the result of the action of our patrols yesterday and during the night we have advanced UT line a short distance astride the Clarence river in the Lys sector and captured 9 few prisoners and two machine gun. A party of our troops successfully rushed one of the enemy posts last night north of Vieux Berquin (on the north side of the Lys sector)
 The hostile artillery has been ac- tive east of Robecq and in the Mer- vile and Dickebusch sectors"

House of Commons, making a state ment on the war situation. The House will adjourn tomorrow until Oct 15.
 Mir. 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 pre- dominant in the councils of the enc my. Everyone wanted peace, the premier added, but it must be a peace that was just and durable-one with power behind it.
 In further reference to the fighting in France, the premier declared it was too early to say the German effort had 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 on March 2 would not again present itself
 The American army, the premier said, would soon be not far short of the German army itself.
 The German people and Germany's allies were beginning to be disillus- toned, the premier continued. In March Germany was promising great things and the peace tentacles from her allies were withdrawn. The prom ise, however, he pointed out, had failed, and the German harvest was short, although militarily, the Ger mans had been at the height of their power.
 Russia, said the premier, had be- come q log to the feet of Germany. The Russian people, however. had resented the interference of Germany with them and were more and more seeking allied help.
 We will not hesitate to give it to them whenever it is possible" he added.

SLUMP IN COTTON
 s6 ID s7 4 BALE
Better Weather and Crop Re- ports and Increased New Crop Offerings Send Prices Down the TobOggan.

New York, Aug. 7.-There was a break of between $6 and $7 per bale in the cotton market today as result of better weather and crop news and reports of increased new crop offer ings. The general list closed steady at net loss of 124 to 40 points.
 Early realizing and reselling by some of yesterdays buyers were evil dently influenced by indications that the tropical storm had caused rains along the gulf coast, but had not been violent enough to damage cotton in the interior. There was renewed cov- ering at the decline. This bulge met increased offerings, however, and the market later broke very sharply on the more favorable weekly report than expected and reports of rain in Texas.
 The detailed report for the Houston district showed precipitation at only eight points, but there was rain in northeast Texas, as we'll as along the coast, and private advices suggested that tomorrow details might show the drouth pretty well broken so far as the northern part of the state was concerned. These reports brought in larger offerings Selling also was en- couraged by the talk of increased of ferngs for early new crop shipment on an easier basis. The weekly report indicated satisfactory crop progress in eastern belt sections and fair con ditions in parts of Texas. Arkansas and Louisiana

 The left wing was delayed, but it also reached the line shortly before o'clock this morning.
 The artilleries on both sides are still fighting dueis over the captured positions and the Germans also have continued small arm resistance But iwth every hour the positions of both the French and Americans have been rendered more secure.
