Homesickness Very
Expensive to Men
in Training Camps

CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR, Louis
Vile, Ky.-Those soldiers Of the Ma
tional army in training at Camp Zach
array Taylor, who have been driven by
the pangs OF inconsistencies to go home
without permission or who have over
stayed the time granted them for per
mitted visits, have found 1t to be an
expensive proposition.
To the surprise Of most OF them.
they have found that the cost defray-
ing the expense Of bringing them back
and paying the transportation OF the
man bringing them back as well as
paying the reward Of the person ap-
pretending them is not paid by Uncle
Sam, but only advanced. Such ex-
penses are finally charged against
them and are deducted from their pay.
AS matter of fact, the number OF
men making this painful discovery
has been small. for the number OF
cases of absence over leave, absences
without leave and of desertion among
the men at Camp Zacharay Taylor
have been very much below the per.
centages of such cases in the regular
military establishments in time of
peace.
Most Of the cases of absences with
out leave and absences over leave new.
er officially become cases of deser-
ton for man is not ticketed de-
serter until he has been absence from
his post Of duty without permission
for ten days.
The offender in such cases is, OF
course. subjected to the penalties pre-.
scribed by military law in addition to
having to defray himself the cost OF
securing his return

The amount of sterling securities Of
the Canadian Pacific Railway issued IN
London that will be reissued and sold
in this market in the form of dollar
bonds will. it was learned yesterday,
amount approximately to Sl75,OOO,OOO.
Completion of this transaction will not
provide the railroad with new money,
but will aid materially in the efforts
of the British government to stabilize
the foreign exchange situation.
The Canadian government is ""pcct-
ed to borrow in New York within the
next three months, probably in June.
Bankers said yesterday that the amount
of the loan would likely be in the
neighborhood Of S25,OOO.OOO According
to present plans, there will be no pub
lie offering of the loan. which will
probably be in the form Of short term

on Buenos Ayres, which is now quoted
the nearest the normal level IN
months. Normally the Argentine peso
has an exchange value Of approx
mately 9Gi2 cents. Recently il scared
to 80 cents. and some s35,OOO,OOO IN
gold was shipped to Argentina as re-
suit. Yesterday the rate, which has
been gradually declining. was down
again to a level where the peso was
worth around its normal value Of 80 2
cents.
Gold shipments were made to Argen-
tina because the republic was selling
more merchandise in the United States

exports to the Allied governments also

Russian Contracts
Are Smocthed Out
American Can Company Gets
Extension of Time for De-
livery Of Shells

The American Can Company. when
with other concerns making munitions
for Russia has met with difficulties IN
carrying out its contracts with tha'
government. has arranged an extension
Of time for final deliveries Of four
months. or from April 30 to August 81.
The Russian government agrees TO pay
for all finished shell parts without
waiting for the assembly Of the com
plctcd shells
Similar arrangements as to their Rus
sian contracts arc under negotiation
with the General Electric and Worth
ington Pump and Machinery companies.
The changes in the terms under which
the orders were originally received VIII
be Of material benefit TO the companies
as it will release millions OF dollars IN
capital lied up pending completion Of
the contracts. II is estimated tnat
the amount Of working capital that will
he freed is approximately S900O,OOO IN
the case Of the General Electric Com
pany and around $5,OOOOOO for the
American Can Company.
The three concerns are understood
TO have practically completed the man
ufacturc of the shell bodies and large
percentage Of the cartridge cases. but
difficulties in the manufacture Of fuses
prevented their receiving payment on
the work finished.
Reports tina, the trouble in complet-
ing its Russian she'll orders was due 20
FRO German activities in high quarters
in Russia were denied By the American
Can Company. It is considered signtl-
cant. however. that American manufact-
urcrs have not been alone in having
trouble with Russian contracts, reports
received here indicating that British
companies have met with similar diff
culties.
The American Can Company has been
making only a small percentage of its
own fuses. the majority having been
manufactured by the Computing. Tab

economists. Last week gold ship
ments for British account of $50
OOO.0 00 were received at New York
and Philadelphia by J. p. Morgan
q Co.. the Allies fiscal agents. Fur
Their shipments of $25.000,000 came
ir AT the beginning of the new week.
Judging from experience. this sud
den and large increase IN ShlpIleH'S
is designed TO prepare the money
market for another loan in the near
future. 1t has already been ntl-
mated that another British secured
loan for S25O,OOO,OOO or $30O,OOO,OOo
may be foatcd shortly, unless the
United States government should
assume the burden of financing the
Allies purchases in this market.
The gold which has been received
within the last eight days would be
sufficient to serve as the basis for
the larger amount named. on the
basis Of four to one.
