Successful allied thrusts in local ac-
enemy a resumption of his strong Of
fensive movements, but there is little
doubt that another German blow IS in
the making, but for the moment at
least a hull has come in infantry activ-
ity on the western front.
Foch Improving Positions.
Germany's offensive begun on
March 81 is not completed and the
Germans have yet to win a strategical-
ly vital point. Another strong effort.
probably greater than any this year,
has been awaited by the allies for sew
eral weeks. General Foch has en-
ployed the past week or more sue
cessfully in improving his positions
at various points along the main
front. American. British and French
ground and more than 5000 prisoners
from the enemy.
Only Successful Counter Attack.
Except north of Albert, where the
Germans regained some ground, the
tempted counter attacks. In several
instances no effort was made to dis
lodge the allies from their gains along
the Semme. north of the Aisne and
between the Aisne and the Marne.
Australian and American forces
hold strongly to the recent gains
south of the Somme and the French
are improving the ground recently
taken north of the Aisne. The strong
est enemy artillery fire is being direct
ed against other sectors than these.

Germany May Accept Condi-
tiOnS and Stop War.
Lloyd George Gives Message to
g. s. Troops on Front.
ARRIVAL OF YANKS A BLOW
Kaiser Never Expected America
Would Be Active.
Allies Do Not Want One Foot
of German Soil.

With the Americans on the British
Front Friday, July 5.-Until Germany
accepts the conditions laid down by
peace and she can have peace iolnor-
row if she accepts them. David Lloyd
George, the British premier, gave this
message to the American troops rain
ing on the British front after he had
seen them at review today.
Kaiser Underestimated Americans.
The arrival in France of one mil
lion American soldiers had made the
&c. emperor realize that his de-
feat was certain. The emperor, the
prehier said, had had many delusions
regarding the war. One of these was
at the new American troops would
not be capable of meeting those If
Covet No German Soil.
Premier Lloyd George reiterated
forcefully that the allies do not covet
a single yard of German soil and do
not desire to dis. POSSESS Germany of
her rightful i her.tance or the Ger
man people of their legitimate rights.
The British prime minister stood in
an automobile in the center of the
sun-bronzed men who have recently
landed in France. Beside him were
NiScount Miner, the British secretary
for war. and William Morris Hughes,
the Australian premier. Mr.. Lloyd
George said in part:~
General, 1 desire to congratulate
you on being in command of such u
fine body of men. When / see them
I am glad they are on our side, not
on the other.
I'VE are anxious that many more
thousands come across the oceans.
The fact that you are here at all is
a source of great joy to all of us.
Kaiser Never Expected U. S.
cat the same time it is a source of
great disappointment to the Kaiser
who never quite expected you. He
was assured by his advisers that
America was so pacific there was no
danger of her getting in. OF course a
from folly to folly. His next delusion
was that even if you declared war you
could not get here. His advisers said
that all the ships would be sunk and
there would be no means remaining to
bring you across the sea.
But you are here not a part OF a
force of a few thousands but a part
Of a force of hundreds OF thousands
to fight for justice and the freedom
of the world
