Balfour's Report
Contains Joyous
News" for British
Secretary and His Aids
Spend Busy Day in
War Conferences

Washington. April 1.-THE British
War Commission to-day entered upon
its first day of uninterrupted work with
wide series Of conferences touching
every phase Of American participation
in the war. Experts in all lines set out
i'm earnest on the various paths pre-
scribed by Foreign Secretary Balfour
as a result Of his preliminary CON
ferences with American officials to
learn how most effectively the British
mission could be of service.
MIR. Balfour himself passed strenu-
Gus day. The morning he devoted TO
writing his first report to England
speaking enthusiastically Of his warm
reception here and of the eagerness Of
the American government to cooperate
in every way TO defeat the common en-
envy. The report, which it is stated
viii be made public later, IN line with
Mr. Balfour's desire TO take not only
the two governments but the two peo-
pies fully into his confidence, was said
to contain Every joyous news for the
British people"
Gregory Calls on Balfour
Attorney General Gregory called on
Mr.. Balfour in the afternoon, and is
understood to have discussed with him
the many xmas OF legislation needed to
protect pubic safety in war time and
to prevent aid and comfort reaching
the enemJ.
NJ. Vivian, head of the French COM
mission. also called on Mr.. Balfour to
more closely coordinate the work of the
two commissions. Nj. Viviani told Mr.
Balfour Of the French missions deci-
sion to stay somewhat longer than orig
inally planned and TO change the pur-
pose of their visit largely from mere
ceremonial 10 one of service and advice.
The French, therefore, while not touch
ing on all the subjects covered by the
British, will join IN on the major points.
The State Department is known to
have urged this plan.
Charles VI. Schwab, pres ident of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, paid his re-
spec,s to Mr. Balfour after visit TO
the French commission. His visit, to-
gcther with the trip TO New York to-
day OF Lord Cunliffe, governor of the
Bank Of England. gave rise to much
discussion about the changed status Of
this country from neutral nation
making loans and sales through private
on a profit basis to an Al
lied nation making loans direct through
the government.
Buying. Agency for Allies
1t is thought possible that some cen
trail national buying agency for food
and munitions for the Allies soon may
be established. The Council of Ma
tional Defence mas been cooperating
through it's advisory commission in the
purchase OF supplies for the American
Snd may later extend it's
operations The new food commission.
under Herbert C. Hoover. is expected
to have y,de powers in that line toward
the Allies from here.

As we were coming up the street
Tuesday we met Patrick Norton, grip
in hand and bound for Bartlett, where
went to look after his farming inter-
ests, after a stay Of some days in the
city. MI. Norton is one of those char
acters one can never foget. True to
his friends, and sarcastic to his enc
mics, Pat Norton has gained a repu-
tation that will be a part of history
of Ramsey county in years to come.
He landed in this county and filed on
a homestead near Bartlett in the early
eighties, and has lived there since,
rearing a large family, who have made
their way in the world. He has one
son in Congress, and his other children
are among our best citizens. In talk
ing with Mr.. Norton he informed us
that he hauled the first two loads of
lumber from Bartlett to this city, that
was used in the building of the Sevi1la
Hotel, and which. was first known as
the Benham house.
