IMPORTS TO
ENGLAND CUT
SIX PERCENT
More U-boats Being Sunk,
and Subs Are Getting Few
er Ships Says Lloyd George
(By Associated Press)

Cermany's intensified submarine
campaign has not resulted in Great
Britain's failure to get her necessary
supplies in almost their previous vol
umes. according to Premier Lloyd
George in the House of Commons to-
day. British imports had decreased
only six per cent from the previous
year. he said, although the tonnage
supply has decreased 20 per cent.
The Premier's statement on the
status OF the U-boat campaign as a
whole is an encouraging one. More
submarines were being sunk, he de-
clared, the U-boats were getting fewer
ships. ship building was increasing in
volume, thus bring about a narrowing
of the margin Of losses at sea.
Indications of desire on the part
of Germany to turn to peace parleys
with the Russians into general peace
conference are reflected in the latest
dispatches.
II the statement now current In
Petrograd newspaper circles Is correct
the negotiations OF the Central Powers
have expressed interest in the result
OF Russia's efforts to get the Allies to
join in the conference, desiring to
learn this before proceeding with the
negotiations although they might later
be willing to discuss peace with Rus
STA alone. it was explained. 1t was
also intimated that on their own ac-
count they were planning to put the
question Of peace before all the pow
ers.
Italians Fight Desperately.
Between Monte Grappa and the
Brenta on the Italian northern front.
the Italians are resisting desperately
renewed Austro-German efforts to
break through the hills to the plains.
The Italians, after withstanding strong
attacks, and inflicting heavy losses on
the enemy. were forced to retire to
new positions when the invaders
brought up reserves. On the southern
end of the Piave, the Austro-Germans
have been checked in several attempts
to cross the river.
On the western front the Germans
have not yet given strong indication
of where their advertised drive Is to
begin. The German guns continue to
lombard various sectors along the
front from the North Sea to the Swiss
border, including the Ypres and Cham
pagne areas, and enemy raiding par
ties are harrassing the British and
French soldiers. Enemy raids have
been repulsed by the British in the
Arras area and northeast of Ypres,
while the French have repulsed an at
tack at Regneville, northwest OF Yer
dun. Germany's present strength on
the western front is estimated to ap.
proximate the maximum reached last
July when it was 1856 divisions. The
allies, however, are believed to have
a superiority in numbers.

week total II, a decrease of four com.

the farmer could in no better way
eliminate the high cost of living
than to arrange to SOW a wheat crop
this fall. If economical conditions
were ever needed in the production
and consumption of food stuffS it is
for the next few years at least.
Those who are fostering the good
roads movement from here to Cave
City are being very much pleased
with the outlook for an improved
road. Something like one-third of
the way has been cleared, and ap-
proximately $500 has been subscrib-
ed for the building of the road, and
we are safe in stating that when
work has begun many others will
add to the amount they have al
ready subscribed and others that
have not subscribed any will awake
to their sense of duty and contrib
ute something to this noble cause.
1t is believed that the road grader
will be secured and put in operation
on this road in the next few weeks.
We feel almost certain that the
road is an assured fact, but it is 60
ing to take money and work to
build it and it is sure to be prOE,a.

are greater essentials, so let every

DR.. GEO. {. CRAIG DEAD
|Ipch Respected Old Citizen Passes
Away After A Long Illness.

tbe home of his daughter, Mrs.
wN, Metcalf, last Sunday after
noon, following a long illness. For
some time no hope had been entel-
tained for his recovery, and his
daath was not unexpected to The
family. Funeral services were coz
ducted at the residence at 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon by Rev. ). W.
Jenkins, pastor Of the M. E. Church
South, of which church the deceas-
ed WAS a member, after which the
body was taken in charge by the
Masonic fraternity and buried with
the ceremonies of that order. A
very large number of people as
sembled at the cemetery to pay a
last tribute of respect to their de-
parted friend.
George Edward Craig was born in
Lunenbure county, Virginia, near
Petersburg, December q, lS4z'
where he grew to young manhood.
He enlisted in the Confederate
army at the age of 10 years ana
served throughout the war. tie
was a member Of Pickett's division
and was in much fierce fighting
He WAS wounded three times dur
ind the war and was carried from
the field in the early part OF the
battle of Gettysburg in wounded
condition. During the latter part
of the war DR.. Craig was held as a
prisoner at Newport News, where
be came near losing his life from
typhoid fever. He made the record
of 4 brave and loyal soldier.
After the close of the war he pre-
pared himself for the practice OF
medicine In 1869 he was married
in Virginia to Miss Addie Bacon
and they soon moved to Henderson,
Kentucky. DR.. Craig and his fam
lily Became residents of Sharp coun-
ty in 1878, when they located at
Pougbkeepsie, where they remained
until 1883, when they came to
Evening Shade, where the family
was reared and where Mrs. Craig
died in 1914.
For period of something like
thirty years DR.. Craig was one Of
the most successful physicians this
immediate section Of the state has
ever had. His services were sought
over a wide range of territory, and
It would no doubt be surprising If
one could know the number Of
thousands of miles he had ridden
over these hills in the noble calling
Of relievine human pain and suffer-
Ing. Several years ago, when age
began to creep upon him and after
be had accumulated considerable
Of the worlds goods, he retired from
the active practice of medicine ana
passed his last years in comfort and
quiet.
As citizen DR.. Craig was a man
Of strict integrity and irreproach-
able character. There was none
Of the groveline fiber or petty mix
ture In his nature, but his affairs
were transacted upon the broad
plane Of common honesty. His
life Was led without the semblance
Of hypocrisy or deceit. He leaves a
multitude Of friends who admired
him IN life and will long give him
and bis useful life place In their
lasting memories now that he has
gone to his reward.
Dr.. Craig is survived by eight
children, L, O. Craig, 7, S, Craig aud
Harry Craig Of Batesville, r. S,
Craig, Mrs W, N, Metcalf and Miss
Lee Craig of Evening Shade, Mrs
CP Bray of Maxville and Mrs.
>Vereie Raines Of Jonesboro, all of
whom were at his bedside when
the end came.
