eastbOund embargo on corn and oats
was to he lifted, and that the maxi

President Griffith OF the board, is
sued statement from which it ap-
peared that the rum0rs or removal OF

which the suggestion was considered.
The statement said, however, that IT
the maximum was removed it would
not affect existing contracts.
Grain shippers said they had not

GEORGE HOPEFUL
ON WAR OUTLOOK
SUB LOSSES LESS

London, Dec. 2O.--Speaking in the
house of commons today, David Lloyd.
George, the British prime minister,
said that the margin of losses at sea
was narrowing. The sinking by sub.
marines, he declared was decreasing,
while shipbuilding was increasing.
Although the merchant tonnage was
down by 20 per cent, he added, the
losses have been only per cent of i'm.
ports, over that of last year.
Regarding the military situation,
Mr.. Lloyd-George said it was idle to
pretend that the hopes formed had
been realized. This disappointment he
attributed to the Russian collapse.
The Germans, he sall, nave had
only one success, which was due to
surprise and this was now engaging
inquiry. He stated the Germans had
lost one hundred thousand prisoners,
valuable positions and hundreds of
guns.
