Won Success at Outset,

Thanks to their temporary supe'
riority both in numbers and in posi-.
ton, they won at the outset conspic.
uous success, but as the spring and
summer advanced the enemy's prog
ress alike on the road to Amiens, at
the Lys, and at the gate of the Disc,
was stayed by the well-direCted valor
of the allied troops. In June, the Aus
trians attacked in Italy on front of
nearly 100 miles only to be driven
back with heavy losses to their origi-
nal line.
an July. after a long pause for
preparation, the German crown prince
was let loose to capture Rheims and
to turn the flank of the defense of
Paris. We are still witnessing the de-
velopments of this ill-managed ad-
venture, and without undue optimism
we may say the balance now leads
to the side of the allies, who have
mastered the new German methods,
and whose strength owing to the pres
ence of American troops is daily and
steadily increasing.
From a military point of view, II
would seem Germany has in her cam

Lsr MORNING youan.L SPECIAL lsAsso wInrI

London, Aug. 3.-ConviCtion that
the balance of war now tends to the
side of the entente allies was expressed
today in a statement by former Pre-
mer Herbert II. Asquith. reviewing
the four years of Great Britain's par
ticipation in the war dating from Au-
gust 4, 1914. The beginning of the
fifth year. Mr.. Asquith pointed out,
reveals Germany still impenitent, and
in full pursuit OF a policy of terrific
rial and economic ACKNOWLEDGMENT
with which, he said, we can make
no terms"
Declaring that America promised to
become predominating factor in the
war, Mr.. Asquith said the allied ma
tons Of western Europe owe to her
double debt of gratitude.
Mr.. Asquith's statement follows
THE fourth year of the war has
witnessed the renewal on the largest
scale of the enemy.s offensive. The
disintegration of Russia enabled the
central powers TO concentrate all their
strength on a supreme effort to de-
stroy the armed power of the western
allies Last October, at Caporetto
they sprung a surprise on Italy, and
succeeded in forcing back her troops
from the frontier to the line of the
Piave. On March 81 of this year they
opened an attack upon the allied ar
mics in France with the object Of
driving wedge between them and
ultimately occupying the channel ports
and the French capital.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 22.-More
than one-third of the business dis
trict of San Jacinto and a smaller
proportion OF that of Helmet both in
Riverside county. about Z miles cast
of here we're in ruins today and
scores of residences In the two little
towns were wrecked by a series Of
earthquake shocks which caused all
of southern California to tremble
late yesterday afternoon. The prop
erty damage Is estimated at 500 900
to $4,000 in the two places. Half
a dozen other towns and cities in
Guiding Las Angeles suffered minor
damage, confined mostly to plate
glass windows and shattered cornices
Helmet and San Jacinto have popu-
lations OF less than 1,009 each.
Only one life was known TO have
been lost as a result of the earth
quake. that of Frank Il. Darnell. q
retired manufacturer of this city,
who was drowned when he fell off
a pier at Santa Monica. a beach re-
sort near here. There we're near

ton picture houses In this vicinity
and AMY persons sustained slight
injuries in their rush to the exits
When night fell over the partly
ruined towns of Helmet and San Ja-
cinto order had been completely re-
stored and organizations OF home
guards patrolled the debris Uttered
streets.
Fear was expressed in Los Angeles
that several large effiee buildings
have been thrown out of plumb
While to the casual observer this re-
port appears to be unjustified, a sur
yey will have to be undertaken to
learn the truth.
Large Office buildings at Lone
Beach were severely shaken and mum
erous windows broken.
The earthquake was felt over
wide area In the west. It's most
northern extremity apparently was
Fresno, California. Tremcrs also
were felt at Phoenix and Selignamn
Arizona, and at Milford, Utah.
