 AT FRONT 2
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Aug. 10. Viscount Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States, has written a let ter to E. c. Carter, secretary for France and England of the Young Mems Christian Association, com mending the work of that organization among the soldiers of the entente al lies and suggesting that the American association will be able to render the greatest possible service to the Ameri- can expeditionary forces.
 Arrangements for the work of the American organization are well under way both in France and in England, but definite and positive plans will not be completed until more is known of the strength of the American forces, where they will be located and when they will arrive. Meanwhile the Young Mems Christian Association is doing everything possible to provide for the comfort and entertainment of those American sailors and soldiers who already are in Europe.
 q can truly say" Viscount Bryce writes, that l have heard from every quarter, including many naval and military authorities, the warmest ac. acknowledgement of the excellent work done by the Young Mems Christian Association during these three terrible years of war, for the British, Canadian and Australian soldiers both in camps here and at home, and among the troops on the various fighting fronts Many plans have been devised, many methods successfully employed, te provide for their benefit, comforts recreation, literature of the right sort and many other wholesome influences q believe that the American asso citation, which will have the advantage of our experience, which will be work ed with true American energy, anG which may command even larger funds than we had, may render ths | greatest possible services in France to those American soldiers who Bri
 tain and France rejoice to welcome a!
 their allies in this fight for freedom

The senate finance commission is
considering the war revenue bill.
Prospects were that some of the pro-

an issue with England and France
over seizures when leaving port.
Secretary Lansing added there was
nothing new in the principle to pro.
hibit trading with the enemy, but
that 1t would be novel not to pro-
hibit it.
Another fundamental change in the
