CANADA TO GET ALL
POSSIBLE WAR ORDERS

LONDON, July % - Referring to
Canadian reports that the imperial
authorities, in the placing of war
orders, are discriminating against
Canada, the Times says it understands
there is not the slightest grounds for
such apprehension. The newspaper
adds that David Lloyd George. the mu-
nitions minister, is to discuss the whole
question of munitions with Sir Robert
l.. Borden, the Canadian premier. and
there is every reason to suppose that
Canada will get all the orders that can
possibly be put in her way.
The suppositiOn that David y.
Thomas, representing the British mu-
nitions department in the United
States, is placing orders through
American middlemen is unfounded, ac-
cording to the Times, which says Mr..
Thomas is in a position to deal in
tiependently of j. +. Morgan & Co.. and
that he is doing so.
