WAR SITUATION CRITICAL
 SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
And Britain is Called on for Further Sacrifices-When Battle Started Germany Had as Many
 Men as Allies.

London, April 9-Premier Lloyt day when the battle on the Somme front commenced the total strength of the German army on the West front w2s approximately equal to the total of the entente allies.
 In the course of his speech the Brit ish premier said:
 we EIcvc now entered the most critical period of the War There is. 9 luil in the storm but tte hurricane is not yet over. The fate of the en- pire of Europe and of liberty may de- pen5 upon the success with which the last German attack is resisted and countere.'
 MT LloyI George said his E1anpow- CT proposal would involve en extreme sacrifice by part of the population of Great Britain.
 The Cambrai battle, he said, was a very trival event when compared with the recent battle, and until the strain had re,axe' it would be diff cult to find out exactly what lad hap pened.
 , The premier aid the cabinet had taken every step to hurry reinforce ments. He said the numbers of guns and prisoners taken had been eXag- gerate1 greatly by the Germans.
 The ministry Of munitions, the pre- mior added, had been able to replace the guns and there were substantial , reserves left He said the cabinet is confident the army would be equal to the next encounter.
 To Recall General Cough. Mr. Lloy5 George said the cabinet lad decided to recall General Cough who was in command O. the Fifth army, against which the Germans msde their principal gains. Until al 1 the circumstances of his retirement were known, howeTo., it would be un- | fair to censure him Having gained a first success, Mr i Lloyd George. on, the enemy is preparing a greater attack end il would be 2 fatal error 10 unGaresti- mate the gravity of the prospect.
 In view of the critical period whicf had been reached, said the premier the government purposed to submit tC PGrliamen ent today cert,in reccmmen t.stioEs in or.ar to assist the country end it's allies. He regretted to say that these proposals involved extreme i is2crifices O1 the part of large classes ' of the populotion and nothing would justify them except tho most extreme necessity and the fact tls: t,e nation ig fighting for all that is essential and most sacred to the notional life 1 SitHation Once Critical.
 The Germans attacked with 9S di- visions Approximately 1,160, 900 mem the premier told the House They were relying on the idea thet the al- lies had nQ united command and ex- rected to diyi1a the French anu Brit ish armies.
 At one tine of the tattle the sit uatioa was. critical. The enemy broke through between the Third and Fifth armies. The situation was retrieved by the magnificent conduct of the troops, which retired but were not routed.

BRITISH HOLD FIRM AT
 TIE VITAL POINTS Although Germans Gain Over Front Of 30 iles-Armentieres Is LOst-Attacks Are
 Terrific.

New York, April 11-Swiaging his far to the north of the Picardy battle fielG, Field Marshal NQn iiina anburg nov is diving attack after attack against the British lines between Ar ras and lpres. Charging across the level country behind a tempest of high explosive and gas shells, the Ger mans have succeeded by terrific fight ing in penetrating the British de- lenses at points over a front of ne2r ly % miles to a 6epth of almostsiX miles south of Ypres.
 The loss of Armentieres is admitted by the British, but this was expected. The enemy had driven in on both sides of the town and holding out longer by the British would have i'm periled the whole line. So far as known, the withdrawal of the British forces from Armentieres was orderly and was only for the purpose of Iaightening out the line in the re- zion where the German pressure is tke heaviest.
 Vital Points Hold. The British have stood firm at Vii tal points along the line. Wytschaete is sill held by Field Marshal Haig's men. who also maintain their grip on Me sines ridge Lestrem, P.oegsteert and Plogsteert wool and Hollebeke, against which furious assaults nave i been made only to break down or De nuiiifed by British counter-attacks. A terrific attack made against Holle- teke and Wyteschaete was repulsed with great loss to the Germans.
 This particular part of the battle ] terrible fighting for nearly four years.
 Armentieres marked the farthest re- tirement in this region of the French, British and Belgi2ns in August and September, 1914. Just north, near Ypres, the Germans on April P, 1915. l llfSl lOOs eu OH llc OaHduldH troops their poisoned gas and here, on De- cenb2r 19, the same year, they drove had at the thin line Of Canadians in a desperate effort to reach Calais. On both occasions the Canadians beat back the enemy and held their lines.
 Nearby the British launched thei. cCvnter offensive in February 1916, ,a WitAstCcd furious attacks duri1g g April and May the same year.
 Drive in S0uth Continues.
 The drive south of Ypres has de- yeioped into major ope. ation, it would appear, and the Germans, using their mased attack system, are dis esarding their terrible losses. So fer they have gained litt,e of great l tactical value. The high ground along the front is still held by the British | fOrCe- and the retirements here and there have not as yet endangered the lin from Arras to the North Sea.
 While this battle is going on there is a lull in tEe struggle before Amiens.

SERVED Lemonade TO
CKATEAU-THIERRY Vets
That Soldier Heroes May Have Re-
lief From Parched Threats.

Huge barrels of lemonade served 10
the American troops during the bat
tie of Chateau-Thierry furnished only
one instance of the service being
rendered to the soldiers of Uncle Sam
and his allies by the Salvation Army
workers now detailed with the fight
ing units on the western front.
The Stroops had been hammering
at the Boche all day and all night
and many of them had been put out
of action during the terrific fighting,
but although suffering from wounds
made by shrapnel, rife bullets and
hand grenades, most of the injured
men were conscious and many or
Of improyised crutches The surgeons
were busy in the dressing stations
and the waiting soldiers wanted moth
ing so much as a good drink Of
something cold and refreshing.
Then it was that the Salvation Ar
my workers came along with several
barrels filled with sure enough lem
onade. Where they got the lemons
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
dove for the tin cups that were piled
alongside the barrels on a huge truck,
The surgeons said afterwardi that
the lemonade served to keep down
the temperature Of many lad whose
wounds could not be dressed until
the most serious cases had been at
tended to- And what that cupful Of
good old Yankee drink meant to
those boys who had just come out Of
the inferno of Chateau-Thierry, will
never be told.
It is just that kind of service that
is making the Salvation Army organi-
cation with the military forces of the
allies one Of the most potent factors
in welfare work. AS one of the seven
great war work organizations par
in the united war work
fund drive in November, the Saliva |
ton Army will be enabled, through |
its share of the s170,500,00O to con-
tinue its operations with the fighting
men.
