many in Short Time, Brit
ish Premier Says

London, June 25.-Premier Lloyd
George announced yesterday that the
next couple of months would be anX-
1ous ones. There might be "a great
blow coming in the next few hours,
he said, and certainly in the next few
days, and on this blow the issue of
the campaign might depend. The
entente allies. he added. never felt
better prepared to meet it.
Premier Lloyd George said the
Austro- -Hungarians were in full re-
treat. The question now was, he
added, whether they would be able
to effect a retreat
The Premier, who made his an
nouncement in the House of Com
mons, referred to the amazing or
ganization which was bringing
American troops to France.
Enough Americans" he added,
have arrived to satisfy the allies and
to disappoint and ultimately defeat
our foes"
1t was possible that within a short
time, the Premier said, the allies
would be stronger than Germany.
The enemy, he declared. had no fur
ther reserves to call upon after an
other offensive except by a drastic
combing out of the essential indus
tries which he already had started.
Mr.. Lloyd George emphasized the
difficulty and almost impossibility of
dealing with Russia. with her many
differing and changing governments.
He agreed. however, that it would
be to the interest of the British peo-
pie and also just and equitable, if
Russia wanted it, that Great Britain
stand by Russia

once the number of men remaining

to that class from a deferred class
and the number placed in Glass /.

listment of coal miners in the Army

of taking such men unde rthe draft

planes show themselves to remind
us there is war on. Occasionally
we can hear the guns on the front,
if the wind is right, but not often,
and 1t would take a veritable long
range gun to reach us with accuracy.
For over a week we have been
esta blished in the billets which we
shall doubtless call home for a month
or so, depending on circumstances.
The entire division is bill
leted within a ten-mile radius and
the General visited our battalion at
the rifle range the other day. My
company is located in a cement

albeit hard-bedded billet in the bat
talon. The others are scattered
through barns and stables, but my
men are adj together. We have

about what was transpiring in the

 And then when everything seemed lost and despair came they heard the news: No, it could not be true. They would help them with food and clothing? They would till the soil? Mend the barns and stay near by to see that things went well? Yes. and the children could stay, said the Red Cross, as they had said to hundreds of others.
 That was two years ago. Today this family Is self supporting and has some to spare for the more needy ones. who still are being helped. Little Jean is taller. He looks well fed-and he is well fed. The baby is so rolly poly that the dimples have come again. They are in good spirits-on their feet once more.
 And Marcel. He has finished the course that the Red Cross gave him in an agricultural school It is he who has been running the farm so well. He did it all. At least they let him think so. for heaven knows he has seen the bottom of the bitter cup. And 1 know that the Red Cross will want me to say he did 1t, for that is the way they work-quietly. earnestly, efficiently, without stint, without waste, without boast.
