READY TO STRIKE
BRITISH NINTH ARMY. KEEPING THE HUN WORRIED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright; LONDON, July 21. “My very large forces are ready and eager to strike.” said Lieutenant-Gen-eral W. G. Holmes, commander of the Ninth Army—the mystery army facing south-east Europe, in an interview with a correspondent of the “Daily Express.” “I cannot say anything that may tend to suggest when we may start or where we may go, because I believe we have kept the enemy pretty well foxed about our plans,” he said. “The Hun is worried. That is how we like to have him. We propose to worry him a lot more when we meet. We have waited a long time for the chance. When it comes we mean to make the most of it.”
