generals sent in a message saying
in most polite terms that he was
unable to longer restrain his troops,

U-WAR FAILURE, SAYS PREMIER
Lloyd George Declares Shipping
Losses Are Decreasing.

London-A message or nope and
quiet confidence in the future was
given to the British nation in the
house of commons by Premier Lloyd
George.
The people of the British Isles can
not be starved, Notwithstanding the
German submarine campaign and the
military situation grows more hope
full The difficulties of the allies will
grow less and their power increase,
while the troubles of Germany will
increase and her power fall away, de-
clared the premier.
German claims as to British ship
ping losses, the premier said, were ex-
aggerated in the hope of cheering up
the people of the central powers. AL
though the submarine losses in April
had been 100000 tons, they had de.
creased until the average for July and
August would be $4,000 tons net each.
Shipbuilding had been speeded up,
vessels had been purchasedR abroad
and the total tonnage acquired in 1917
would reach nearly 100000 tons.

company, who also says the governor
has no business meddling with the
affairs of the coal dealers.
I'VE know the situation We know
what has been sold and how many
tons will be needed" said Mr. Aims
worth. 1--WE will furnish no figures to
the governor nor to anyone except di.

concentrations of Secretary McAdoo.
In addition to authority to float a

care for a previous sS,000,000,0OO and
a future $4,000 100000 allied loan au-
thorization, the secretary desires the

available to small investors.
Lives of the certificates of indebted
ness and war savings certificates
would be limited to one and FIVE years,
respectively, and they would be sub
ject to discount and payment in the
discretion of the secretary. He also
would fix the interest rates and regu-
late interest payments. They, like
the bonds, would be subject only to

Inclusion of the two additional GER

OF providing against a sudden demand
for money which the treasury might
not be able to meet. AS congression-

may not be necessary to issue many
OF the certificates, but they would
prove the means of getting money
