WASHINGTON. July 25.-Canada is to borrow s1OO.OOOOOO in the United States to offset in part the heavy trade balance against her in this country. The loan will run for two years, bear interest at the rate of approximately per cent. and will be made by syn dicate of New York bankers.
 One of the reasons why the treas ury itself is not making the loan is that such a credit would have to be made in that case indirectly through Great Britain. Another reason is that heavy demands are in prospect upon the s3,000. 100000 authorized by con gress as a loan to the allies. A third reason is said to be that s100,000.000 bond issue would now disturb the gov ernments war financing in which there Is for the moment a Hull.

All Units of National Guard, Except Those of Southwest ern States, Are Now Part of Federal Forces.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The en- tire national guard of the country, with the exception of troops from Cal ifornia and southwestern states, was in the federal service tonight under President Wilson's call. The remain ing units will be brought in August 5, on which day the whole force of prob ably 300,000 men will be drafted into the army of the United States and will lose its status as militia. From that day on the state troops can be us- ed for any duty the president may di- rect and will be subject to no limita- tions that do not also apply to the reg ular army.
 The first increment of the guard was called out ten days ago. Those recalled today in the second increment embrace New England, Middle West ern and Northwestern states and sev eral Southern states. Probably more than 150,000 men went on the federal payroll. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio troops and those from several states were in the first increment.
 With liberalization of the entire force complete after August 3. the ranks of all regiments then will be filled up to full war strength with men from the selective draft lists.
 There have been many things to in- Hicate that guard rsimens which are now fairly we'll equipped and which had the benefit of the border mobilization, will not be held long at the divisional training camps. If transportation is available, the best of the state troops may be hurried to France at once, stopping only for final outfitting before they sail. The inten- sive instruction to fit them for trench warfare will be given at the American training camps in France. where Gen. eral Pershing's regulars alrady are at work.

 Mrs. Mooney made her way. smil- ing and lowing right and left. to the county jail where her husband is con fined Entering his cell she threw her self into his arms. The other defend ants and numerous relatives and friends crowded into the cell and a levee was held.
 After she left her husbands cell, Mrs. Mooney was taken to the women's quarters of the prison.
 "It has been a terrific strain" said Mrs. Mooney. But l knew from the beginning of the trial that justice would triumph. I cried bitter tears when saw Miss Pearl Seaman. who had both of her legs blown off in the explosion, come into court. It has been hard for me to understand that I was being charged with a crime of this nature. When l am free I will de- vote my life to giving Miss Seaman musical education"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Mrs. Rena Mooney, one of the five defend- ants in the bomb explosion cases here which excited worldwide interest, was acquitted late today. After a trial that had lasted nine and one-haif weeks, the jury deliberated fifty-one hours before reaching its verdict of mot guilty. Several other indict- ments are pending against Mrs. Moon ey but it is uncertain,> according to the district attorney, whether she will be tried again.
 Thomas J. Mooney. her husband, and Warren K Billings have been convicted and sentenced, respectively to death and life Imprisonment. Both have appealed. Israel Weinberg and Edward A. Nolan, the other defendants remain to be tried.
 'The bomb cases are at an end" de- cIared Thomas O'Connor of Mrs. Moneys counsel "The next trial will be that of Oxman." Frank c.

DENVER, July 25.-The Mine Own CTS association of Leadville, where 5000 metal miners are on strike. pre- scented d formal statement to the gov ernor today accepting arbitration by the arbitartors appointed by the gov ernor, Platt Rogers and Harvey Rid dell The only reservation made by the operators was the right not 10 op- crate any mines which it was found could not be operated at a profit under the scale fixed by the arbitrators.

 The action of the mine operators was the subject of an informal discus sion of miners who belong to the Cloud City Miners Union. No action will be taken regarding the attitude of the union until the matter is presented to the organization in a formal way, it was stated.
 The union miners denied a report that they might return to work pend ing the findings of the investigatiou board. The men said they would not consider returning to work until a ief- mite proposal had been made to them

FAILURE OF RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE SKATERS UNCLE SAM'S HOPES THAT
 STRUGGLE ABROAD WILL SOON END

and there is nothing to indicate that the effort is being seriously consider ed.
 Transportation Lacking.
 Reports from France, official anc un- official, so far as known give no cheer ing picture of what must be done. There appears no doubt that the al- lied line can stand against any force Germany can bring against it. Even the Russian disaster does not effect the situation. But to gather the neces- sary strength for successful offen- transportation facilities if the United States is to furnish the needed surplus of men, airplanes. munitions and food.
 The transportation problems before the United States, both on land and sea, are constantly increasing in scope. It seems certain now that whole rail road systems will have to be set up in France to give the American line the flow of war materials and men that it must have to press home an attack.
 There is an old military rule that fortified position cannot be taken by direct attack, but must be turned or isolated. Some observers here say the allied offensive has consisted only of direct attacks against Notifications stronger than any fort of former days, in effect, fortified belt from the the sea to the Swiss border that is perhaps snore than one hundred miles wide.
 America Optimistic.
 It is the belief of some military men here that no breach can be made for many months through the German line of sufficient width to permit such operations in the rear as would force a rolling up of the. entire German front
 Admitting all these points, however. there is no sign of Encouragement among American officials. President Wilson's declaration that the nation, not merely an army, must be ready for war, is being carried out determ- inedly and apparently with confidence that in time men and supplies can be got to France in sufficient force to make certain the result.

~WYASHlNGTON, July 25.-No at " tempt is made here to mini " mize the seriousness of the sit
 uation in the war theatres in Europe. The United States is in the war and will go through with it; but any hope of a short struggle has gone glimmering with the apparent almost complete collapse of the Russian war machine.
 This development was unexpected by many army officers. When the of fensive of July 1 was started by the Russian forces, the most frequent con- ment heard here was that it was prob able the dying kick of the old Russian machine.
 For the United States the Russian collapse may have an immediate and direct bearing. It will, if the German general staff presses it's advantage, release additional German forces to bolster the western front, where Amer ican troops are to be engaged. The German line in the west has not been seriously impaired at any points, of ficials here believe.
 Master Move Considered.
 It has been noted, in fact, that the one strategic advantage gained in re- cent fighting was gained by the Ger mans. Many officers here believe that when a small sector of the British line in Belgium was overwhelmed, the Ger mans improved their weakest front ma terially. That view is based on the opinion that the only hope of decisive attainments for the allies in the west lies in rolling up the German right flank where it reaches the sea in Bel gium.
 If that could be done, it is argued, the U-boat bases could be stamped out and the only offensive instrument or the Germans be eliminated entirely or made ineffective.
 It would require combined army and navy operations for it would be neces- sary to force landing behind the Ger man line and force the whole right flank back from the sea as a result.
 The price of such a victory against the U-boats and German shore bat teries probably would be appalling,

 "The undersigned. operators of mines and mining properties in the Leadville district. respectfully submit the following:
 You have appointed Platt Rogers and Harvey Riddell to investigate and inquire into conditions affecting wages heretofore paid the miners and em- ployes in and about various mines in the Leadyille district We, therefore. state to you that, although the State lHuuSlAidl OOhiihioSAOAi, 0uiy ouehOA 0 by law for that purpose, has, within the past two months, made such an investigation and reported the findings thereon, it is satisfactory to us for the gentlemen designated by you to in quire into conditions so existing in the Leadville district and we will af- ford to them every opportunity and assistance for such examination and for learning the conditions affecting the same and any matters which they may deem to be proper subject of in quiry in connection herewith. so as to help them in arriving at just con ciusion whether the wage scale of the Leadville district is fair and proper or otherwise.
