Cook Halls a Hospital
Massachusetts, Unit Hunts
Vainly for Ninth Man

Boston, June 25.-Mobilizing base
hospitals to care for 500 to 1000 men
at the front would be easy if cooks
were not scarce. Base Hospital No s,
organized by the Massachusetts Gen
eral Hospital, is under mobilization
orders for duty. The task Of picking
twenty-five doctors. sixty-fve nurses
and 1873 orderles, privates, electricians,
BARRIERS. tailors, head chef and
seven assistants was carried through
smoothly as far as the ninth cook.
The organizers of the unit are
puzzled at their inability to supply this
missing link, which is holding up the
whole outfit Somewhere in the land,
they believe, there must be ninth
cook. The requirements are simple.
He may be anywhere between the ages
of twenty-one and forty-iive, and. pro-
vided he can cook, he will make the
unit complete.

Daily War Cost
In Britain Rises
To S38,76O,OOO
Advantage of Americas
Entrance Now Felt, How
ever, Says Chancellor

London, June 25.-An increase in war
expenditures by Great Britain was an
nounced by Chancellor Of the TX
chequer Andrew Bonar Law to-day in
statement prepared for the House OF
Commons. He indicated that the pres
ent cost Of the war is about s3s, $4,000
daily.
The total national expenditure for
the nine weeks from October TO De-
cember 9 last was on daily average
of s33,O75OOO, the chancellor said
For the five weeks from April TO May
>. 1917, the daily average was s39'-
$4,000. For the five weeks from May
6 to June it was S3766O,OOO. In the
ten weeks from April to June 9 Eng
land spent s3S, 100000 daily.
Excess Over Estimate Feared
The increase in expenditure for army
service. says the statement, is in part
attributable to payments and advances
which are ultimately recoverable. The
expenditure for munitions was affect
ed by temporary causes. such as more
rapid delivery made on the termination
of certain orders, but notwithstanding
this the chancellor fears there will be
some excess. under the heads of army
and munitions, over the figures OF the
budget estimate.
Regarding loans to the allies. con-
tinucs the statement. the government
was still liable during the opening
weeks of the current year to fulfil com
mitments undertaken before the entry
Of America into the war. The advan-
tage of Americas entrance, he OK
planned, was now being felt.
Pension Cost Growing
The growth Of the miscellaneous ex-
penditure, the statement adds, was due,
among other things, to charges for land
and sea transport, including the pur-
chase Of ships and food supplies and 70
the charges for war pensions, which
are continuing to expand.
Great Britain's war cost has in
creased steadily. In the early months
of 1915 the average daily expenditure
reached Sl3,00O,O00 and warnings were
made that the country could not stand
the drain. But in the period from Sep
TENDER - to November s, 1915, the
daily war expenditure increased 70
S2l, 10000. At the beginning Of this
year it had jumped again TO 2s,95O,OOO,
and By May it had increased once more,
TO S3l $4,000.

u. S. Officers Favor
United Attack by
Allied Warships
Experts at Washington
Agree with Demand
of Churchill

rom INf lNIn4fN bureau
Washington. June %. The demand of
Winston Spencer Churchill former
First Lord of the British Navy, for ag-
gressiye action by the Allied fleets, es-
pccially since the entry of America
into the war, created profound inter
est in naval and military circles here
to-day Some officers were inclined to
agree with what Mr. Churchill said, de-
claring that the continued nursing Of
the British navy would render it junk.
The first effect Of an offensive policy
by the Entente and American navies,
it was stated, would be to make the
Germans man their coast artillery.
While the number ofmen demanded for
this would be relatively small, the
amount of materials consumed would
be considerable, and this accomplish
ment alone. IL was declared, would be
more than any other achieved by the
Allies fleets, excepting the closure of
the sea to enemy commerce and the
protection of allied trade.
II was not believed that the allied
navies ought Immediately TO attack
German naval bases which, it was said,
are loaded" but. the very strength Of
land Notifications we're declared to be
their weakness also, they being fixed
and unable to protect other points on
the coast.
The principal criticism here Of the
British naval policy TO date is that, al
though England controlled the sea, she
permitted Germany TO capture the
coast of Belgium. TO extend the right
flank of her armies TO the North Sea,
and to establish submarine bases on
the Belgian coast. almost without mo-
lestation. The next criticism is that
Britain has permitted Germany always
to be the naval aggressor. Germany
being given credit here for instituting
practically every aggressive naval ac-
ton of the war except the attack on
the Dardanelles

New Coalition
Cabinet May End
China's Troubles
American Note Hastens
Solution of Revolt, Picking
Dispatches Say

Washington, June 25.-Early settle
ment Of China's troubles was forecast
to-day in dispatches to the State De-
partment telling OF the beneficial effect
OF the recent American note. Others
to the Chinese Legation announced
the formation Of a coalition Cabinet,
including representatives of the seces-
sionists. The Peking press reports
give added details of the abandonment
Of military measures by thes outhern
provinces.
The new Cabinet, according to lega-
ton advices, is to be coalition body,
with representatives Of both the con-
stitutionaists and the mlitarists. Ii
Ching Hsi, whom President Ii had un-
successfully sought for Premier after
the dismissal of Tuan Chi Jul, notl-
fed the legation that he had accepted
the post in the belief that the two
factions had solved their differences
and that peace was at hand. General
Wang Shin Chen, former chief OF the
General Staff. is named as Minister OF
War, after having been named for
similar position in the secessionist gov
eminent Admiral Sir Sab Chen Ping
is Minister of the Navy.
The American note to China, urging
both factions 70 compose their differ
ences. about which so much msunder-
standing centred, was reported TO the
department as having created favor
able impression in China. Great Brit
ain, Japan and France declined TO fol-
low this couhtry's course OF ac-
ton. on the ground that any sugges-
tons from the outside would be apt
TO have bad effect.
The settlement Of the internal Crisis
will expedite China's entrance into the
war, according to opinion here. All par
ties in China are said 10 have been IN
favor of war. but TO have refused 10
enter il under the former leadership.
Former Premier Tuan wanted Presi-
dent Ii to declare war without consult
ing Parliament, and Parliament refused
10 go into the war under the leadership
OF Tuan. Now that Parliament has been
dissolved and Tuan dismissed, the coal
ton government has a free hand.
Ii will be necessary, however. to
await the final ratification OF the new
Parliament. whose election will require
several months, owing TO the compllcat-
ed electoral machinery

u. S. Concern OUer Gold
Outflow Amuses Japan

San Francisco. June 25.-A copy OF
the osaka Asahi' just received here
comments as follows on Americas
worry over gold exports 20 Japan:
"The government of the United
States seems TO be worried little.
America seems to be noting the exodus
of American gold to Japan with some
thing Of a deep and large concern.
America is philosophical enough TO take
the view that IL cannot help the matter
If il were TO straighten out the trade
balances. But that does not quite eN-
plain the movement 10 the understand
ing OF financial America, which paints
itself in the original guise OF a small
boy seeing things in the dark as
toundingly original on the part Of the
biggest, wealthiest. mightiest nation
with the most inexhaustible resources.
It is actually reported to be making
arrangements TO make no gold payment
except at Washington.
ut is not quite clear to us this
American dismay over the outflow Of
gold TO japan. 1t seems TO US that the
United States has taken in few con
sgnments of gold from abroad since
the world war began. We even seem 10
remember that the American bankers
ever smiling disposition was somewhat
spoiled over the tremendous, ever in
creasing oversupply of gold in the
United States. Can it be possible that
now the United States is making a
mountain out of a molehill OF the gold
shipment to Japan, which is the most
natural incident in the world in the adj
justment Of international trade?
Anyway It may not be entirely un.
pleasant for the vanity of Japan 70 find
the Great Narikin lthe popular desIg-
nation for the sudden millionaires ere
ated by the war; Of all the powers TO
look upon the gold export TO Japan in
the light OF a 'problemi"

DRAFT ARMY WILL NOT

Construction of Sixteen Can- comments Such An Enor- nous Task That Military
 Training May Be Delayed.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Simulta, neous construction of Is war army cantonments each to house 10000 troops, has proved such an enormous task that officials dc not believe it can be completed in time to permit mobili- cation of the first full quota of 650.- coo troops by September l.
 Whether any of the men selected under draft will be called out until the government is ready to begin training If the entire first quota has not been revealed
 Work on the cantonments will go forward as rapidly as possible and of- sicials are hopeful that if all have not been completed by September l they will be ready soon after that dare.
 The task has been surrounded with many unexpected difficulties. The de partment has been deluged with cor respondence by contractors seeking construction work Surveys already have been run on some of. the sites and tentative arrangements for water, tights, sewer and railway connections Eorked out with local authorities.
