to Great Britain it became known that MT. Balfour and Secretary McAdoo had agreed on the general principles af- fecting such momentous subjects as shipping. banking, trade and ex. change.
 British naval and military officials also have been in conference with their American colleagues but as yet no announcements have been made. The effect of the conferences on the naval policy of the government prob ably will be apparent only in the con- struction policy. The British officials are known to have submitted detailed information on the matter and it is understood their statements have strengthened the view that construc- tion work should be concentrated upon vessels especially suited for combat

Bridges of the British war commission as their guest of hcnor the members of the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers Associa- tion, at their annual dinner here to- night, proclaimed their confidence in the future of the United States and her allies, and pledged anew their patriotic devotion to the nation.
 Joffre Greatest Hero
 General Bridges, who told with pride of having fought under Marshal Joffre at the Marne. was given an en- thusiastic welcome.
 He is the man of whom it may be said that he saved the civilized world at the battle of the Marne." said the soldier of England in his tribute to the great French commander.
 Speaking as the representative of MT. Balfour. General Bridges brought with him to the dinner something of the spirit of the battlefelds of France ana btlRluul- f1e NdS dDIt lO btl from his personal experiences some thing of the scourge of Belgium at the beginning of the war. It was not the work of undisciplined soldiers. he de- clared. but was the deliberate plan of the highest German army authorities. Patriotism was the dominant note of the dinner from the decorations to the speeches. The invocation was plea that the strength of the nation be devoted to "humanity's holy cause" and Job E.

 WASHINGTON, April 26.-Pre-
 Iminary report of the treasury
 department. upon which Secreta-
 " McAdoo will base his recom-
 limitations to the President as to
 The size of the first bond issue
 under the s7,ooo,ooo,o0o finance
 law, indicate that the United
 States will be called upon to fin
 snce the allies to the extent of at
 least s4O0, ,ooo,o 900 and possibly
 s5oo,ooo,o ,ooo month.
 The tentative program also
 calls for the expenditure of vir-
 tualIy every dollar of the borrow
 ed money in this country for food
 stuffs, munitions, coal, clothing,
 railway Equipment and other sup
 plies.
 The estimates still incomplete and subject to revision, indicate the fol- lowing entente needs:
 Britain Needs Most
 For Great Britain s20O,000.0O0 to $500, 100000 a month; for France. from s1OO,O0O.OO0 to s125, 100000; for Russia a sum undetermined, but up to S100,000,000 a month, depending largely upon the ability of manufac- turing plants in this country to meet her demands. mostly for supplies oth- CT than foodstuffs and munitions; for Italy about s50,0OO,0 900 a month
 Must Vote More By Fall
 Should these requirements be met in their entirety. the s3,000,000. .000 available for lending the allies would be exhausted in from six to seven and one-half months.
 It is likely, however, that the pre- liminary estimates can be pared down to a point where. without emitting essentials. the huge loan could be made to cover requirements for much longer time, possibly for one year.
 Secretary McAdoO and his assist ants devoted today almost wholly to study or entente nnanclal needs.
 Billion Needed By July
 Indications were not lacking that Mir. McAdoo would consider favorab- ly the suggestion that he offer soon another block of treasury certificates to the banks of the country through the federal reserve banks. The sec Ond offering it was said. probably would be the same size as the first. s250 100000 and might be offered within ten days. Should the govern ment decide to finance the allies to the extent of $50O,0OO,O00 a month. s1,OOO. 100000 would be needed to meet requirements prior to June 30 the date upon which the first proceeds of the bond issue prob ably would be available At today's

 sending of an American expedi-
 tionary force to cooperate with
 her armies, and Marshal Joffre
 came to the United States pre-
 pared to give reasons for the
 opinion of the French experts
 that the sending of an expedition
 is advisable. Information regard
 Ing the meeting between the mil
 itary leaders was withheld.
 viviani Greets Press
 Soon after the conclusion of the conference Rene Viviani, vice premier of France, head of the mission, made a statement to the American press in which he declared that the coopera- tion of the United States in the war would mean not only victory for France. which already was assured, but 2 victory of morality and right.
 M. Viviani received the newspaper correspondents in the drawing room of the White home. When the cor respondents entered. M Viviani arose from a seat in front of an open fire, and after shaking hands with his wis itors. spoke in French slowly and i'm passionately. When he concluded. the correspondents applauded vigor- ously. NJ Viviani bowed and then his assistant. Emile Hovelaque, read to the correspondents an English trans lation of what the head of the mission had said.
 M. Hovelaque informed the cores pondents that M. Viyiani would be willing to answer any questions they might care to ask him. Two ques- tions were asked. To one M. Wviani replied that he surely would see the newspaper correspondents to say good bye" and he might see them again between times"
