David Lloyd George, the Brit isii Premier, pave this message to the American troops training on the Brit ish front after he had seen them' at itview Friday. The British Prime Minister stood in an automobile in the renter of the nun-bronzed Americans who have re cently landed in France. Beside him vere viscount Milner, the British Secretary of State for War. and Wil liam Morris Hughes, the Australian Premier. Mr. Lloyd George said: "General. I desire to congratulate you on being in command of su n fine bo:!y of men. When 1 see them ) am glad they are on our side, not en the other. We are anxious that ii. any more thousands come across the wean. The fact that you are 1iere at all is a source of great Joy to a'l of in. KAKSL'R "NEVER EXPECTED YOU "At the same time it is a source of treat disappointment to the Kaiser who never quite expected you. He was assured by his advisers that America was bo pad fit- there was uo ounger of nor petting in. Of course u mistake was committed. He ha tone from folly to folly. His next illusion was that even if you declared var you could not get here. His ad visers said that all the ships would be sunk and the.e would be no means miiuining to bring you across the sea "iiut you are here, not a part of a force of a few thousands, but a part if a force of hundreds of thousands to tight for justice and the freedoi: if the world. "Chateau Thierry opened the Kais c's eyes to another mistake. Yes H i day in Paris 1 saw your comrades who fought at Chateau-Tlntrry ear- lying their flag. And they carried it high, proud of the fact they had not lower-:! It on the battlefields of Europe. The French generals I have talked to have expiessed delight with the fighting qualities of Americans, to the Kaiser's advisers and the Kai rer realize they have made another mistake. tsEKS DETERMINATION TO WIN "We are grateful that you ate here to fight but of course you are not fighting only for Amorica, not only lor France, which has suffered more than any nation in the world ha ever suffered you are fighting for the liberties of the world. In your facts alone we. have a source of great I ope. We see there determination to win tnd we are confident. "President Wilson yesterday made it clear what we are lighting for. If the Kaiser and his advisers will ac iept the conditions voiced by the President they can have peiee with Anieiica, peace with France, peace Aith Great Britain, tomorrow. "Hut ho has given no Indication of ;in Intention to do so. Because he will not do so is the- very reason we all are fighting. "What are we hero for?

Not because we desire to de prive the German people of their legi timate righ's. We are fighting for t!:" great principles laid down by President Wilson."

Continuing their aggreswive de fense in the lace of tiie impending Ceri.ia:! ouensive along the western battle froat, the French have once j.iore attacked the enemy southwest tf Soissons. Launching their blow Mom the eastern side of the Retz tore:t, north of Longpont, the French have advanced over a front of ap proximately two miles, taking Cha vigny farm and the slopes to the north and south of It. Several hun cied prisoners weie captured by the ,'rench in their sudden attack. The assault may be linked up ilosely with the recent offensive op i ratiens at St. Pierre Aigle and gives 1he French a new front line from l.otigpon north as tar, as tne soum in limits of Ambleny, a distance of almost eight miles. Australian troops holding positions ;, stride the Somnte river east of Ami ns and north of H.imel hae swept the Get mans back over a front of mine than a mile and straightened cut an awkward angle held by the Germans sinco the Australians and Americans carried their lines forward in their spirited attack July 4. Berlin mentions local attacks In the Olignon sector, which Is held by Americans and between the Maine and R helms." Italian forces operating on the e frenie left wing of the allied line In Albania, have struck hard at Aui- Adnatic ateut twenty miles north o? the town of Aviona, one of the most important places In southern Abania, Vienna admits that the Austrian "ad vanced posts have been withdrawn to their main positions." This report from Austrian headquarters pioba bly tefers to the action mentioned in the French official statement on Sunday night. It was said' by the war office at Paris that the French .tnd Italian forces bad seized height" in western Alania snd had lull then against rranter-a!tarks. Although the movement Is as ye", not fully Ci vt loped, it may be that serious offensive operations have been Initiate! there. Italian naval vessels would be able to co-operate with the h.n.1 forces and if the lir.e Is pushed back a very great distance. a relocation of the enemy lines run- nine ever the mountains into Mace donia might be necessary. The fight ing noith of Aviona has been going on for at least three days, which in dicates that it may be more than a mere local action. Events are- moving with rapidity in Russia since the assassination of Count von Mirback. the German am bassador at Moscow. Rumors of c counter-revolution at Moscow come from various sources, but other d's-. patches say that the uprising has been crushed, and several hundred of the revolutionists arc- under arrest. There is a threat of a new offen sive against Italy, this time diverted from the Trentino front and carried through by large Austrian forces led by German shock units sent to that sector of the Italian line. Large bodies of German troops are reported concentrating preparatory to launch ing the blow to revenge the utter de-fi-at of the Austrians attempt to en ter the Venetaln plains.

Annibiire Medolla. who claims to be a native of Naples, Italy, and at pn-sent connected with a grand opera company as singer, appeared befoie JuJge Lemmond this morning to an swer to a charge of receiving and larceny of a suit case belonging to Low fry Allison of the United States Navy. He was found guilty of the receiving charge and given a sentence of four months on the roads. A no! proa was taken in the larceny thargc Allison, on the stand this moniina testified that when he had returned to the train on which he was nu.king his Journey fcfter having got supper at Hamlet he found his suit case one. He at once notified Special Seaboard Officer Robinson of his loss i Mr. Rubinson w ired to the conductor of the train as he stop ped at Peachland and had him search for it. The suitcase answering the description and containing the affi les as described by Allison was found in the possession of the Italian, Mcdoi la. He was brought to Monroe where he was turned ovi-r to the authorities Allison came to Monroe on the next train. It was found upon search inu the suitcase that all the articles were there with the exci-'ition of the sail or's fir lough and mileage card, which permitted the holder to ride at t lie ate of one cent per mile on any rail oad. Those were found on the (loot of the train after it stopped in Cln:r- lotte last night and returned thi- morning. Medolla claimed that he could not understand or speak English. The noticable thing about the ca.-ie wa that he understood everything that rosecuting Attorney Steven or Judge Leniniond addressed to him until the matter of why the papers were missing was taken up. The losing of a furlough Is a very serious oiVense in the navy. Mr. Cy Robinson, special Seaboard officor, came up to testify in he case, and corroborated the story of Allison. He said that In a con versation with the Italian after his arrival in Monroe that he admitted the fact that he knew that he suit case did not belong to him. This fart was born out by Chief T. M. Chrirtf nbury. Mr. Robinson states that the stealing of a suitcase is an occurrence that happens almost every time a train passes through Hamlet, and In each rnd tveiy Instance- the suitcase taken hi longs to a .-oldier or allot. It is his opinion that soiiif le is snking some information hich some soldier or sailor might POSSC3S. MUFTKFS TO BE Kl'SHFH TO THE TRAINING TAMPS Sending of Men Oversea Ha ! populated Many, And ien.

Virtu ally the entire body oi' Americans came through unscratciied. This was probably due to the weak resistance which the Germans offered to the Anglo-American's onslaught' One dots not need to detract Irom the work of the gallant Australians by telling of the prowess of the Amer icans. The soldiers from tl.e Anti podes far outnumbered itu from the I'nited States and did a corres ponding amount of the sanguinary la bor. It goes without saying that the big framed men from Australia, who Ha neither man or devil, fought with customary fiercentss which has made tlri m u terror to the enemy. Yes terday's operations were specially planned a. a Fourth of .In'y celebra tion which should bring the Ameri cans into the British battle line for Ue first time. The American troops who were to lake part in this memorable event weie brigaded with their Australian allies, who took the deepest interest in the forthcoming weldiiy; of the link of brotherhood. Th plans were carefully rehearsed until every Amer ican knew his role as well as the hardy vtteruns from hi majesty's u'liiy. Few people alon,? the front kntw of the forthcoming event but the British staff officers were watch ing every move w ith the Ice. re st at tention. Those officers today were outspokenly delighted with what they had seen. The Americnnj went over the top with tne Australians, behind big tanks, as though they bad been doing the same thing all their lives. Then came the clash with the enemy infantry, among the shell hole de fenses and trenches undec the gray light of the early dawn. There was no hesitation. For a week past the British peits had bt'-n dinning into the ears of the Americans the words. "Ki!l! Kill! Kill!" It is the cardinal slogan of flu fighting men and white it is not pleas ant to dwell upon, yet that what war is. The Americans had learned lliM: lesson well. The British officers spoke of this after the affair w:is over. No drill master ever got better returns lor his talks than the one who taug.it these Americans this hardest lesson of all. A great number of Germans paid the supreme price yesterday a'ld the men from the I'nited States ev icted a very heavy toll. The Americans were naturally hap py last night over the success of the operation in which they had played a creditable part and the Australians were no less pleased with their new found pals.

We had vifited the line hOf! bv Fronrh fot about t0 or lt0 mil , from a ft miles south fcr.d west of Amiens to a point beyonc Rheims on the soutn. The commander in charge spose neautiful English. His exnla nations of the battlefields we were passing were an education in them relve3. I have vis-ted Gettysburg and oth er great battlefields of eur Civ;i War. and tbey were thrilling enough. But here shells scream overhead, and the eann fairly shakes under your feet. one Is so full of it that his hnJn seems to whirl. It is like a d'ct.ni. or like one of those great pannn.mas of "the Rat tle of Sedan" o: "The Battle of Get tysburg" that were played some 2d years ago in a great round, red build ing. You may remember how thev used to try and fool you. so that ou kept guessing where the real stage scenery began and the ptJn.ing end ed, or where the two io?ned. And once wasn't it Just d:.v be fore yesterday that we c-merged 'roni the underground caverns of a shell racked hill, to find ourselves et the edge of a forest, where the guns we;e hidden to behold what was more like a scene from a pir.y than reali ty? The poilus God bless 'em had lined up about the place. They smil ed und laughed at the three "Ameri cans" acting like a group of chattel -Ing school boys. We gave them cigartttes as many as we could from t treat wooden box of them that a Red Cross supply station had kindly permitted us to take along for distiibution. Once we were coming down the long road to a battie front when we passed thousands of soldiers inarch ing, marching, plodding with set faces. Keaching out of the auto win dow I was about tc hand them a handful of cigarettes. Immediately our noil-commissioned officer gave me the sign to "halt." "Do you want to disrupt the French army and get us all court-martialed?" he exploded. W hy, don t you see the confusion you might start?" It was a great tritmi-lr'tD- the soldiers' est friend." So I left off till a more opportune time, when we reached the cave en trance by the deep green wood. Here, under the great trees, huge for Fiance, beyond the shell torn area we seeme'd to be in a setting for "The Pirates of Penzance," with stage thunder behind the scenes that fright ened no one. Here we "vivaed" and tttempted our French, to the delight of the boys. Yet, who knew at what minute a shell might, fall among us ind blow the whole crowd to bits. For there were crashings In the woods beyond, like the wild shritks of some fiends from hell, which shat red and rent the trees. But the poilus only smiled and wondered how ! se three "seeveelians" had sud denly dropped in among them. Then l.en- came a wlerd horrible screech ing, and these laughing boys scurried or cover lii;e a flock of chickens he me a hawk. I he commander looK- (I up iiulotly to tell us that we were under lire." That shell had explod d a lew feet to the 1 ft. Two other? ol loved in nuick succession, but the neatest (not over "(Ml feet away, the oiicoui said) did not explode. Had the bocbe caught sight of our utos? There were seven "sausages'' in the air beyond the hills, and from "sausages" they can see a long way. Anyhow, in the good kiddery of the V. S. A., "we beat it." And down the bill we came, expecting that we might have to dodge shells. Now. that sounds foelish, doesn't it? Yet when I was at the American front (and that Is a story all by itself that 1 can't tell here! the tine Brooklyn boy at the wheel did exactly that. Down from the height or Beaumont we had come from near Seieheprey and as we approached "dead man's curve" there came the t.cream of the shell reach inir for the road just ahead of us. Frankly, 1 held my breath not so much in tear, for no one reenir. to feel that- but woiiderinu where t veiild hit. Then there ccine a chug i f the unto, a sniitit n hall- an.l bang! in the road bexond the licsi. tartii sprayed In the t.ir. Then the boy got busy with the auto a sudden jerk -aline, t a lurch forward- and as though the devi' was alter us we tore down that road at a speed I never felt over wheel: before. When I heard the mxt scream It was far behind us. and I shall al ways feel that to Corpl. Henry Corper of Brooklyn, we owed our escape. These boys of ours have earned their r pu:ation as the best auto dnvers in all Km nee.

A falling stone bad crushed the lower purl of his bttle beely. I nable to lift h:mself he was gathered in the arias of his mother, who hurried him to a side nhar, where a hasty examination disclosed that he was past all hope. The irantic mother kid the mangled little I oi m at the feet of the Blessed Viigin and be-gan to pray. If was no me. The little boy knew better. He looked bravely into his mother's eyes and twining his sma!' trnis about her neck wit a all th strength he had left, vhispeied r. her ear en amid the loud tumult and struggle of the dead and djr.g all about him "Don't cry, mum my; 1 die tor France."

And while I hate. 1 pray God that that shell blew some of those damned scoundrels to pieces. But I started to speak just of yes terday's return from the front, and you see where it is leading me. 1 was one of the first civilians to enter Rheims since the recent terrihV ': bard men t. Poor Rheims, V has lived in history because of its great cathedral, its Joan, its crowning ot Kings, its romance, its glorious memories. But Rheims Rheims I a graveyard. Its cathedral Is in ruins. There lay a big German shell right by the side door where we entered dropped there the day before. And from a distance was the mad banc and crash of shells. Were they even trying to prevent a few soldieis from rescuing the statue of Joan in front of the cathedral? Joan serine (till on her iron horse her head alott as in life. We helped pull down the statue such little help as we could give1 to save it for Paris and civi liz. tion when Rheims may be a shell-churned battle ground. It I- impossible to describe It.
