IMPORTS TO ENGLAND CUT SIX PERCENT

More U-boats Being Sunk, and Subs Are Getting Fewer Ships Says Lloyd George (By Associated Press) Germany's Intensified submarine campaign has not resulted In Great Britain's failure to get her necessary supplies in almost their previous volumes, 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 a desire on the part of Germany to turn to peace parleys with the Russians into general peace ! conference are reflected in the latest dispatches. If 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 i join in the conference, desiring to learn this before proceeding with the ! negotiations although they might later be willing to discuss peace with Rus1 sla alone.

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 bombard various Sectors along the front from the North Sea to the Swiss border, including the Ypres and Champagne areas, and enemy raiding parties 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 attack at Regneville, northwest of VerdunGermany's present strength on toe western front is estimated to approximate the maximum reached last July when it was 155 divisions. The allies, however, are believed to have a superiority In numbers. British shipping losses for the past week total 17, a decrease of four com-
