TEND OF TUNNEL" SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
 TO WELSH FOLKS
British Premier Exhilarated by New Drive of the
 Allies.

Meath, Wales, Aug. 9-premie,
 Lloyd George who came here to at. tend the Welsh National Eisteddfodd IS receiving the freedom of Meath +o. day, declared that "the end of the tunnep' through which the allies have
 been travelling for four years was getting nearer.
 1 MT. Lloyd George made no apology to any man, he said, for an part he , had played during the war "And 1 proposed to fight. on to the end," he added. Some people had com plained, continued the premier. that he was too optimistic in the view he took of things.
 1 don't thing l am,' he insisted. "l was not one of those who thought it would soon be over-never. thought it a long job and terrible job, but l have always been confident we would get through, for I knew we were fighting for the right and that the God of righteousness would see us through |"
 The premier appealed to his coun- trymen to put all the might of the empire into the fight, "and" he con- tinued, i've will be through the tun- mel into the, broad daylight of Gods sun again, in a land of peace, real peace, without apprehension of sinis- ter, dark, plotting forces to renew the slaughter. No, never again.
 That is why l am appealing to my countrymen. Now we have confidence. We have good news. The allied army hit back yesterday morning at dawn. If anybody had told Ludendorff on the 22nd of March that up to the month of August he would be trying to get his guns away from the ad- vancing French and British armies we'll, 1 don't know German and there fore l cannot tell what his answer would be, but l believe it would be in very strong language indeed"

WHO KILLED THE
 KAISER'S HOPES?

Amsterdam, Aug. D. R11ieWs by German critics on the military situa- tion in the west disclose curious diver gences in opinion as to who bore the brunt of the attack on the allied side.
 The Cologne Gazette's writers de- clares the white Frenchmen did all the fighting while the Frankfort Gazette states that the white French men were "spared for political req sons," and that on the Americans fell the full weight of the fighting
 The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger asserts that the Italians were the ones who "bled,' while others declare that the Senegalcse and the Moroccans took the main part in the fighting.

THOUSANDS OF HUNS CAPTURED
 NEAR PERONNF
Britons Quickly Envelope Marrow Triangle and Ger
 mans Surrender.

London, Aug. 9.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. Most of the prisoners and guns captured by the British were taken in the narrow triangle be- tween the Rove and Peronne roads.
 British tanks advanced with great rapidity up these roads. They were followed promptly by infantry and thousand of Germans within the tri- angle found themselves we'll behind the British line when the attack reached them, so they laid down their arms
 The most of the captured guns were also gathered up in this triangle, which contained some of the best eGr- man gun positions in the whole front facing Amiens.
 Chaulnes Junction, which is most important from the point of view transports is now the objective upon which the eyes of the allies are fixed.
 It is already under constant artil- lery fire and it's fall would be en- barassing to the eGrmans over a wide area.
 There was very heavy fighting to- day around Chipilly on the north bank of the Somme where the Ger mans were trying to hold up the Brit ish advance by striking a determined blow at the advancing troops.
 The British did not succeed in hold ing all the ground they had gained in this district but meanwhile the ad- vance continues further southward and the situation around Chaulnes is becoming more dubious for the Ger mans.
