 LoNDON, June 7-PremIer David Lloyd George, in replying to toast 10 the success of the entente allied armies at the dinner of the Printers Society of London tonight. said Brit ishers have made unsurpassed sacri llces for great purpose and a high level.
 One of the most encouraging things the premier continued, was the 'superD yalor and the trained skill with which the Americans have taken their part in the struggle and defeated the foe It is a most encouraging thing because there has been a great flow of those troops and we were de pending on them"
 In his reference to the Americans, the premier said:
 T have just returned from France where l met a French statesman ~ho had been at the battle front soon after an engagement where the Americans fought. He was full of admiration. not merely for their superb valor but the trained skill with which they at tackled and defeated the foe. Ills re- port of the conduct of the American troops, division which had been in action for the first time, was one of the most encouraging things that have heard. We know that when ever they appear in the battle line they will fight in way worthy of the great tra- ditions of their country. This is in itself a source of support, sustenance and encouragement to all those who with anxious hearts are watching the conflict going on in France"

TAKE ADDITIONAL GROUND

PARIS. June 7.-The French and American troops operating against the Germans northwest of Chateau Thierry during Fridays fighting made addition al gains of ground and captured the villages of Veuiily La Poterie and Bouresches, according to the French communication issued this evening.
 The text of the communication fol Jews:
 Between the Ourcq and the Marne we continued with success our opera tions of detail
 . The French and American troops have enlarged their gains north of Vim ly up to Lisieres. each of Chezy and taken Veiully-La-Poter and Boures- ches and also in general way have notably bettered their positions on the front of Torcy- -Bouresches.
 Between the Marne and Rheims our activity was psfsued at Bligny and gave us that entire village.
 ''The number of prisoners taken dur ing the day exceeds 200.
 The activity of both artilleTies IS fairly voilent north of the Ourcq and in the region west of Rheims.

 struggle lasting a whole night. Witt this last named division the Americans were still employed when the core spondent left the field, at which time the omens were favorable to the Amer ! jeans.
 Germans Poorly Fed Judging from further statements of prisoners, the Germans were badly in need of rest and, according to apps- tites, they were sorely in need of food. Inadequate artillery backing given to the first two German divisions sup ports the idea that the enemy did not expect an offensive, and that the guLs they used last night and this morn ing were hurried to a point where it was not expected they would be need ed On the other hand, it was largely owing to the superior gunnery of tbe Americans that the first two enemy divisions were compelled to give ground and had to suffer severe casual ties.
 But if the enemy was short of arti- lery he appeared to have an un limit ed number of machine guns which were used with great skill and effect. The Germans evidently extended their practice of sacrificing machine gun or two in untenable positions in order to bring their captors under deadly flank fire. This maneuver took toll of the Americans as indicated by the number of machine gun bullet wounds, and the surgeon explained that ma jority of such wounds had been re- ceived by great many of the men.
 Overcome Stiff Defense
 'In the river valley, which contains a railroad, the stiffest fighting of the night occurred, the enemy showing great determination to hold the rail way station of Bouresches. This sta tion, with the entire village, ultimately fell into the hands of the Americans and the French.
 One reason why the fighting last night was so desperate was because the German counter attack was launch edat the very moment our fresh ad- vance began, the men thus coming into close grips in which the boyonet played a decisive part. The American casual ties were not out of proportion to the of the operation, but owing 60 the unfaltering courage of the ma Tines, the losses largely have fallen on that fine regiment of redoubtable fighters.

 that only the day before the Ameri- cans entered the line the Germans ad- vanced about ten hlometers. The Americans now are holding the Pars road near Le Thiolet for a number of kilometers.
 Graphic stories of last night fight ing were related by wounded Ameri- cans today. They said that at one point the Germans crouched behind bouiders and opened fire when the Americans were within ten feet of them One man who participated Id an encounter of this kind said;
 Some of us had not slept for four nights, but we were not tired. We took a second lease on life and sprang at those Germans and smothered them. l never saw so many machine guns. Our men did not think of themselves They only thought of getting Fritz

 We were not supposed to go there but the men were so enthusiastic they kept on. They would go to Berlin if their commanders wouldlet them. The only way to stop them is to kill them.

WASHINGTON CONFIDENT

WASHINGTON, June News from the Aisne battle front continued re- assuring today to military observers here, it being increasingly evident that the German thrust had been brought to at least a temporary halt. Whether the failure to press his advantage wig orously means that the enemy is eX- hausted for the moment and must have time to bring up fresh troops, guns and stores before renewing the drive, or that he is planning blows at other points along the front is n6t yet clear.
 Aside from the stragetic significance Of the halt, the main topic of dis cussion today was the brilliant work the American marine attachments, now known to have shared in the de- fense of the Marne line at Chateau Thierry and to the northwest of that place News of the full scope of the counter operations in which several towns have been won back by the Americans and their French associ- ates, is awaited with keen interest.
 On the face of the map. it is thought here the German situation demands that the Germans renew their efforts to widen out to the west. The enemy's position looks precarious and no mat ter how determined the allied supreme command may be to conserve man power, it is regarded as certain that any glaring German weakness will be quickly seized upon for a powerful counter thrust
