1-v _- X "VICTORY FLOWS IN OUR DIRECTION." â-  SAYS DAVID LLOYD GEORGE Entente Allies Take the Initiative, Never to Be Lost to the Foe Again. A despatch from London says: David Lloyd George, British Minister of War, presiding on Thursday at an allied conference on equipment, de- clared that the combined offensive of the allies had wrenched the initiative from the Germans, never, he trusted, to return. "We have crossed the watershed," he said, "and now victory is beginning to flow in our direction. This change Is due to the improvement in our equipment." The conference was held at the War Office and was participated in by Albert Thomas, French Minister of Munitions; General Bailieff, Assistant Minister of War of Russia; General Adall Olio, member of the Italian Ministry of War, and the new British Minister of Munitions, Edwin E. Montagu. Russians Terrify Teutons. "Since our last munitions confer- ence," said Mr. Lloyd George, "there has been a considerable change in the fortunes of the allies. On that date the great Champagne offensive in the west had just failed to attain its ob- jective, and the French and British armies had sustained heavy losses without the achievement of any par- ticular success. In the east the enemy had pressed the gallant armies of Russia back some hundreds of miles, and the Balkans had just been over- run by the Central powers. "The overwhelming victories won by the valiant soldiers of Russia have struck terror into the hearts of our foes, and these, coupled with the im- mortal defence of Verdun by our Indomitable French comrades, and Ihe brave resistance of the Italians igainst overwhelming odds in the louthern Alps, have changed the ^fhole complexion of the landscape. "Now the combined offensive in the sast and west has wrenched out of the hands of the enemy â€" never, I trust, to return to his grasp. We have crossed the watershed, and now vic- tory is beginning to flow in our direc- tion. "Why have our prospects improv- ed? The answer is: tiu; equipment of our armies has improved enormously and is continuing to improve. "The British navy until recently, has absorbed more than half the metal workers of this country. The task of building new ships and re- pairing the old ones for the gigantic navy, and fitting and equipping them, occupies the energies of a million men. Most of our new factories are now complete; most of the machinery has been set up.

"Every month we are turning out hundreds of guns and howitzers, light, | medium and heavy. Our heavy g^uns are rolling in at a great rate and we are turning out nearly twice as much ammunition in a single week â€" and,, what is more, nearly three times as much heavy shell â€" as we fired in the great offensive in September, al- though the ammunition we expended in that battle was the result of many weary weeks' accumulation. The new factories and workshops we set up have not yet attained one-third their full capacity, but their output is now increasing with great rapidity. Our main difficulties in organization, con- struction, equipment, labor supply and readjustment have been solved. If officials, employers and workmen keep at it with the same zeal and as- ! siduity as they have hitherto em- j ployed, our supplies will soon be over- whelming, I "I cannot help thinking that the improvement in the Russian ammuni- tion has been one of the greatest and most unpleasant surprises the enemy has sustained. Still, our task is but half accomplished. Every great battle furnishes additional proof that this is a war of equipment. More ammuni- tion means more victories and fewer casualties." BRITISH MAKE JAIL FOR REFUSING TO MAKE .MUNITIONS. I MORE PROGRESS;* Appreciably Advance Their Line • At Various Points. A despatch from London says: The British made a further advance north of the Somme, according to a report ','eceived on Thursday from General Baig. With Contalmaison and the en- tire German first line of defence on ihat and adjoining sectors firmly in their hands the British troops are striking to the eastward against Combles and Bapaume, Longueval, a junction po^nt on the high road sys- tem, and the Heights of Martinpuich, two and a half miles northeast of Con- talmaison, which command the battle- ground for miles around, are the im- mediate objects of their campaign. O MAY FORCE CHLOROFORM USE. French Likely to Make It Compulsory in .\rmy Surgery. The French Academy of medicine is considering the advisability of recom- jnending the Government to make the , use of chloroform compulsory in the army, not only in serious operations but also in all cases where the treat- ment is painful. At present French soldiers are ob- liged to submit to vaccination against smallpox and typhoid fever, but they cannot be compelled to accept chloro- .•j form against their will, A committee has been formed to study the question as well as that of rendering compulsory the injection of . serums in all cases where the latter are declared to be necessary by the doctor. Tar Prisoner Writes of Ottawa Man's Plight A despatch from Ottawa says: Canadian prisoners in Germany were sentenced to a year in jail by the Ger- mans for refusing to make war muni- tions, according to a letter received here from Corporal Ian A. Simons, formerly a prisoner in Germany, and now trajisferred to the internment camp in Switzerland, He writes that Corporal Harry Hogarth, of Ottawa, is one of those who refused to make munitions, and it is expected ho will have to serve the year's sentence, which has already been imposed upon him. Steps have been taken to bring it before the authorities, so that it can be investigated, as, according to The Hague tribunal, prisoners of war are not called upon to make munitions.

A despatch from Ottawa says : â€" The consolidated revenue of Canada for the three months of the fiscal year ending June 80 was $50,772,903.92, and the expenditure was $37,055,289, The revenue from all sources amount- ed tx) $5(1,000,000. Of this e.xpendi- ture only $10,528,045 comes under coiLsoliii hated fund account while $26,- 527,243 is under capital and $22,173,- 031 of this is war outlay. In the month of June last the war expendi- twre was $12,439,187.93. During tlv three months' period the expenditure on both capital and revenue accounts outside of the capital outilay on war has decreased substantially, due to the policy of rigid economy adhered to by the spending departments of the government. The June revenue increased from $11,433,970 to $17,600,149, the in- crease being found in nearly all branches inclading $4,000,000 in cus- toms. The buoyancy of the Dominion's fi- nancial situation is shown through- out) the statement. The total assets of the Dominion on June 30 were $420,395,783 as against $257,943,948 a year ago. The net debt increased from $450,287,721 to $593,910,637, but the increase for the month was $16,013,946,95, or nearly $2,000,000 less bhan a year ago. The credit Canada has extended tw the British Govemement now totals $150,000,000. Munition orders to tihis amount have been placed in Canada by the Imperial Government. Canadian deposits on savings ac- count total over $700,000,000, having Increased a little over $100,000^000 during the 20 months of the war. BRITISH REACH THIRD UNE: HOLD ALL GROUND GAINED Gen. Haig's Forces in Pushing Foe Back to Third Line .\dvance Four Miles Beyond Original Teuton Trenches. A despatch from London says: Ex- ] hausted by the desperate lighting of the days the German and British troops on the Somme are resting on their arms on Sunday. In the lull which has followed what correspond- ents at the front describe as the fiercest fighting of the war, the Brit- ish are consolidating their new posi- tions north of the Bazentin-Longue- va! line and are bringing up their heavy artillery preparatory to resum- ing the great drive toward Puronne. The British offensive was resumed Saturday and the advance of their thrust reached the third line of the German defences north of the Somme. Berlin officially admitted that Gen- eral Sir Douglas Haig's forces had gained some ground and that they had occupied Trones Wood. The Ger- man resistance has been stubborn, but the British were able, thus far, to re- tain the positions won. General Haig's men, in pushing the Germans back to their third line of defence, advanced four miles beyond the original German lines as they ex- isted at the beginning of the offensive on July 1 in the Fricourt-Mametz sec- tor. The force of the renewed British drive is shown not only in the ground gained but in the number of prisoners captured. London reports the taking on Saturday of more than 2,000 Ger- mans, the total since the start of the offensive now being in excess of 10,000. In the course of the operations, the correspondent adds, detachments of the Dragoon Guards and the Deccan Horse (a crack Indian cavalry com- mand) went into action. They charged an enemy position, killing sixteen and capturing thirty-four. The oper- ation was small, but it was the first time that cavalry was employed aa such since the early stages of the war.

The statement says that the British forces have been sub- jected to an ineffectual artillery at- [ tack. « I I Eighty German Merchant SubsT ' A despatch from Copenhagen says: German newspapers state that eighty new submarines of the same type as the Deutschland will be built at Kiel and Bremen. Twelve are expected to be completed by August. BRITISH ADVANCE TO A DEPTH OF THREE MIES Take Bazentin and Longueval, Also the Whole of Trones Wood. Germans Surrendered Freely. A despatch from London says: General Sir Douglas Halg struck •gain at dawn on Friday, The British front has been advanced three miles to the eastward. It rests on a line ttom Bazentin le Petit to Longuevftl. Both villages are in British hands. Beyond the latter place the British troops are fighting forward in the wooded section in desperate hand-to- hand engagements with the Germans. The British advance at its deepest point on Friday night approximated three miles. Friday's advance is one of the, greatest blows yet struck the Ger- mans in the Picardy offensive. It brings the British southern front on an even line with the French »t Hardecourt and puts the British Ir {ood position to drive a wedge be-.! TTnltad StatM Karkata.

HUNGARY IS BIHER OVER GREAT LOSSES Since Beginning of Offensive Against Italy They Exceed 600,000. The London Morning Post has ad- vices from Budopest which say that the losses of the Austro-Hungarian army during the last six weeks were the subject of discussion in the lobby of the Hungarian Parliament. The despatch says: "Members who returned from the different fronts where they took part in the offensive against Italy, also in the tremendous fighting on the Rus- sian front, all agreed that the losses must exceed 000,000 since the begin- ning of the offensive against Italy. The bitterness against the leaders of the army is very great, and at the next sitting of the House the Inde- pendence party will again demand that those responsible for the situation shall bo brought to account, these be- ing the two .\rchdukcs and Gen. Con- rad von Holt/.tndorf. It is more than likely that the House will be dissolv- ed rather than that these high person- ages should be made the subjects of acrimonious criticism." A despatch from Bucharest to the Telegraph says: "Public feeling has been deeply stirred by the general offensive of the allies. Owing to an appreciable lack of meat here the Covcri;mcnt has prohibited eating of it or. three days of the week." -Are Being Re-armed. A despatch from Ottawa says: Canadian troops at the front are be- ing re-armed with the new British Enfield rifle, and this rifle, which is now being manufactured both in Great Britain and in the United States by the hundreds of thousands, has been adopted as the uniform service rifle of all the British troops. The Ross rifle, about which there has been so much criticism, will be gradually discarded for all Canadian troops as a service rifle, and the new rifle sub- stituted as it becomes available. The new weapon has a shorter barrel than the Ross rifle, making it more service- able for trench work. It is of smaller bore than either the Ross or the pre- sent Lee-Enfleld, but the bore on the new rifle can be easily enlarged to take the present size ammunition un- til new stocks are ready. SECOND DOMESTIC WAR LOAN IN SEPTE.MBER. Terms of War Issue WiU Be Settled a Few Days j Beforehand. A despatch from Ottawa says: ' Canada will float a second domestic war loan in September, according to an official announcement made here j on Thursday by Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance. The amount, terms, and price, it is stated, will be settled a few days before the issue. GEK.MAN GUNNERS CHAINED TO GUNS. .\ despatch from London says: British soldiers on the righting line and those wounded on the Somme say that they found German machine- gunners chained to their guns to pre- vent them from retreating. People who know the least are apt *o assume the most; It's the easiest thing in the world to be brave when there is no dang^. 1 em Shore of Suez Gulf. A despatch from London says: Two columns of British troops operating on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Suez have raided sixty miles of diffi- cult country held by the Turks, ac- cording to an announcement made on Sunday by the Secretary of the Brit- ish War Office. The statement saysi "The Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean expeditionary force, telegraphing on Friday, reports that two columns operating from Tor and .\bu Seeneima, on the Sinai shore of the Gulf of Suez, have returned to their bases after successful raids of the enemy posts in the peninsula. "Sixty miles of difficult country wer« traversed, prisoners were taken and live stuck secured. Despite opposition and considerable sniping, no casual- ties were sustained by either of the columns." BREArffirs TO GET BEER? Good Templars of Germany Oppose Using Barley to Make Beverage. .\ despatch from .Amsterdam says: .'V protest against the consumption of barley for the making of beer is made in a letter sent to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg signed by eight thousand members of Good Templar lodges in Germany. The letter points out the "gigantic waste of bread ma- terial" in the use of large quantities of barley for the production of beer. It urges that hereafter beer be only supplied on bread tickets. , « Even the man who has not had hia appendi.x removed can find some fun in telling of his visits to the dentist.

They are now within two miles of this crest line, the capture of which would give them artillery control of the neighborhood and serve as a serious menace to Bapaume, A despatch from Reuter's corre- spondent on the British front says that the German second line was car- ried with small loss, and the Germans surrendered freely. 500 GREEK SOLDIERS ATTACK ALLY TRAIN A cable from Paris to a news agency at New York says: â€" "Des- patches from Salonica report serious rioting at Kavala, when 500 Greek Biotfdiers sbormed a train on which they had been refused transportation.

A FRENCH WEDGE IN FOE UNE, HUNS ADMIT CRISIS AHEAD Joffre's Forces Close to Feronne. and Germans are Making Desperate Counter-Attacks. A special cable to the Chicago Dally News from Oswald F. Schutte, in Ber- lin, says: The French have opened the third week of their offensive by driv- ing within a mile of Peronne a wedge into the German lines. The Germans have been making desperate counter- attacks, both north of the Somme and on the French flank at Barleux. The Germans realize tliat a crisis Is still ahead. The third week promises even more bloodshed than last week, for reports from the front are far from revealing all the horror of this fearful slaughter. The German press are still forced to rely upon the British eyewitnesses* reports for real stories of the battle. German authorities make nothing pub- lic except dry statements ot the gen- eral staff, and reports of German cor- respondents at German headquarters add little. Neither German nor neu- tral correspondents are now allowed anywhere at any of the fronts.
