PRIME MINISTER'S WAR STATEMENT.

MEASURES TAKEN TO DEAL WITH EMERGENCY,

LONDON, March 30th. Mr. Lloyd George has issued the following" statement :--During the first few days the Germans launched an attack unparalleled in concentration of troops and guns, and the situation was extremely critical. Thanks to the in. domitable bravery of our troops, who gradually stemned the advance until re- inforcements could arrive and our faithful. ally enter into the battle, the situation has now improved. The struggle, how. ever, is only opening, and no prediction of its future course can yet be made. The War Cabinet has been in constant session since the first day, and has been in communication with Headquarters and with the French and American Govern. ments, and a number of measures has been taken to deal with the emergency...
