WHY MR. LLOYD-GEORGE. GAVE HIS FAMOUS INTERVIES.

.. 'A' tenifio bombardment is raging along the entire .Allied: front ■ on the Somme, and from past experience of the sequence of events in . tie development of the great "Push," we know what that portends. Coupled with this intense concert of the guns is a business-like activity by our airmen, who have had, from the German point of view, a most' day. The Italians,, after a spell of comparative quietude, have struck suddenly and most effectively at ' several points in the [Austrian'defences, and fn the Julian sector (in the region of Gorizia), have .pierced the. enemy's line. The "bag" of prisoners and muni--1 tions is of satisfactory dimensions. In the Balkans' tha Allied offensive is mailing rapid progress, and fresh blows have been levelled at the Bulgar line. The situation in Greece has developed a new phase —the whole of-the Greek Navy has surrendered to the Allies as the result of an ultimatum. On the Russian-Rumanian front the enemy is evidently, applying the maximum pressure he can secure from the , troops at his disposal, for the Rumanians are continuing their retirement on certain sectors. There, is practically no news from the Russian front. • The British Prime Minister (Mr. Asquith), speaking on the motion for a credit vote of £300,000,000, has given an interesting . I but not; very informative resume of the situation in the principal theatres of the war. The debate on the vote was important in that . one of the speakers elicited from Mr. Lloyd George (Secretary of State for War) a statement that his famous "Hands off" interview, given to the American Press, was a deliberate act performed for a very special and highly important purpose. Having indicated that much, '•• Mr. Lloyd-George said that the world would have to wait till later for the inner history of the -why and wherefore of that interview.
