London, May 25.-"The successful

suited in a distinct improvement in

Lloyd George today in the house Of
commons.
The premier said more effective
blows have been dealt against the
submarines during the last three
weeks than in any corresponding
period during the war. Z"
The shipping losses for May prob
ably would show a reduction from the
April figures. In speaking Of the. sue
cess Of the anti-submarine methods
he said: -. $3.50 ~
I'VE owe very considerable debt
sef sSERtitlsdes to th@ sfeat American
people for the effective assistance they
have rendered and the craft they have
placed ut our disposal. Now that the
American nation is in the war 1t IL
easier to. make arrangements for the
protection of our mercantile marine
than it was BEFORE"
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted there
starvation but that tho utmost econ
omy Of foodstuffs was still essential.
"The submarine menace need cause
no fear that the war was going to be
lost for that reason.
If 1t is true that the Germans are
depending mainly upon submarine
warfare for success, I am able to say
that they are doomed to disappoint-
ment,' Mr.: Lloyd George continued.

destined to be the greatest miscalcula-
ton in the whole series Of mistakes OF
that empire
