MEETINGS CALLED
tBy Retiew I.eased wirel

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The American
chamber OF commerce in London is ar
ranging series of conferences be.
tween importers OF American goods
and British manufacturers OF similar
articles in the hope Of reaching agree
ments that will influence the import
restrictions the British sovernmenv
has announced it will re-impose on
March l.
Importers of American goods are
represented as having suffered more
than other business men during the
war and as having been considerably
gratified when, soon after the armis-
tice was signed, the British govern
ment removed restrictions ON a long
list of articles. These importers, il is
said, also foresee great business diff
ficultieS over the decision OF the gov
eTnment to renew the restrictions on
American goods. The decision to re
strict imports was made after a con-
ference between British manufactur-
ers and the officials of the British
board of trade.
In view or the unavoidable delays
in dealing with trade subjects through
al SONSIIlucul department, the
manufacturers and importers, on the
proposal of the American chamber OF
commerce have decided 10 work out
their own problems and submit the
results to the British government.
In the case OF rubber goods the
conference representatives of the
British government is reported TO have
said that the government would act
according to the agreement reached.
Therefore, should the conferees agree
that some American rubber goods are
needed at this time il is entirely like
ly that the restrictions viii be mOdi-
fled

turerS, all three representatives of a
delegation OF American shoe manu-
facturers who arrived in England yes

Germans on Decline;
Americans Increase

The sudden decline or the Ger
man forces beginning in June and
again apparent in the swift drop
during October was accounted for
by the fact that she had drawn
into the lines during the sprlag
every available reserve. expecting
TO smash her way to victory be-
fore winter came The reserves
were used up in the German at
tack and the allied assaults which
followed, while the American
force continued to increase. In
a rough waN the American rifle
strength has represented about 20
per cent OF the total American
force in France continuously. This
accounts for the fact that with a
total of more than 2,OOO,O 900 men
in France on November II the
rifle strength in October was eSti-
mated at around $4,000 men. A
similar situation. was shown in
staff reports as to the total allied
strength, reckoned as ration
strength" which was continuously
greater than that of the German
army throughout the spring and
summer last year.
