today in a speech before the house

| ticularly to what had been accom-
| plished in the recent drive by the
allied forces on the Soissons- Rheims
salient, to the destruction of German
submarines of which 150 had been
accounted for since the war began
more than half of these in the last
year--and the part the Americans
now were playing and would play
later in the fight for the cause Of
democracy.

George said the people who had made
the war still were in evidence and
that they could have no peace so
long as they We're predominant in
the councils of the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George referred to the
part the British navy had played in
the war and said that until all the
allies were defeated at sea Germany
could never triumph.
When Great Britain decided to
throw her whole weight into the war
four years ago, he continued, she did
so because of an outrage on interna-
tional rights. Had she not taken this
decision, the whole course of the war
would have been different.
He pictured the part the navies
have played in the war in the vast
wilderness of the sea, with no one to
witness or describe their operations
and said he did not think that many
persons realized that IL the allies
were defeated on the water the war
NOulu DC over.
when the war began" said Mr.
Lloyd George, "the British navy, then
the largest in the world. represented
a tonnage of two and a half million.
Now, including the auxiliary fleet,
it rs eight million. Were 1t not for
this increase the seas night be barred
for the commerce of the world. Every
trade route of the world is patrolled
by its ships"
The premier then referred TO the
other activities of the navy, such as
conveying. patrolling, mine laying,
mine sweeping and the chasing Of
submarines. 1t was here that he
said $50 German submarines had
been destroyed, more than half of
them in the last year.
During June alone" the premier
continued, British naval ships
steamed eight million miles. To this
must be added the efforts of the mer-
camille marine which is now a branch
OF the British navy and whose men
face the same dangers carrying for

The Germans lost considerably in

whose stories tended to corroborate
the expressed opinion of those preri-

to continue their retreat until the

The attack by the infantry was
preceded by artillery preparations.
Under cover of a barrage the engin-
GERS completed the work of throwing
light bridges over the stream while
the officers chosen to lead the dasn
across the river placed their men m
position, working them downward TO-
ward the points where the bridges
were known to be +. The challenges
were accepted Immediately by the
German artillery and in few min

guns which had been heard all day,
were merged into one great raor. The
clouds which had lifted slightly. re-
appeared just before the attack was
launched and therefore the action was
conducted without much advantage in
observation by aircraft.
when the order for their sdvanee
was given, the men for the most part
swept forward in open formation, hut
the Germans were ready with de-
fense, and even more They had pre-
pared, although apparently hastily, a.
