The selection of Arthur J. Balfour as head of the British mission to visit the United States in the interests pf cooperation in the war, is supposed to be extremely pleasing to the Unit ed States. It is conceded that no man of greater experience could have been chosen for the work. MT. Bal four has been prime minister of Eng land. leader of the house of com mons. first lord of the treasury, first lord of the admiralty and is now min- ister for foreign affairs He was at the head of the admiralty in the coali- tion cabinet formed during the war and since the ministerial revolution engineered by Prime Minister Lloyd George has been in charge of the con- duct of foreign relations.
 MT. Balfour will be able to give President Wilson a complete expres- sion of the wishes of the British gov- ernment with regard to what it de- sires the United States to do in the work of bringing the war against the German government to successful conclusion. It is taken for granted here that Mr. Balfour will have ready number of suggestions for co-opera- ton between the two nations, and possibly for formulating a program of action to be carried out by all the allies.

Volunteer Automobiles
 For Use of Home Guard

From four thousand automobile en- rollment applications sent to owners of cars, trucks and motorcycles i'll Bridgeport the committee of the Bridgeport Automobile club in charge of the census under the Home Guard act have tabulated to date about 300 replies. It is believed that when com pleted the list will contain approxi- Smately 400 cars.
 Though some persons acquainted with the cars operated in Bridgeport express the belief today that the pro portion of responses are small for to- tai membership here, Frank T. Sta pies, head of the Automobile club, as- serted today that he believed the num- Der of cars volunteered was sufficient to move a body of over 800 persons and when completed would show a large mobilization. It is not thought by military authorities here that the movement of a larger body of men than half a thousand at 7 time will become necessary in this city
