May Train Americans in England

In view of the difficulty in finding
ships to put American fighting power
in France, General Bliss, representing
the United States at the military
sessions of the supreme war council,
is considering with British officials
the advisability Of starting flow Of
American battalions through the Brit
ish training system to front line
trenches in Flanders.
This project has been talked over
in various forms, one of the concrete
proposals being that $50 battalions tie
assigned for such training.
Congestion at the American dcbark-
alton ports in France lies back of the
suggestion. BY diverting certain
units to British ports, passing then
through the British system and final
ly transferring them to Gen. Fer
shing's army it has been urged that {
considerable body Of men could b,
trained and put on the firing line VIII,
otherwise could not be sent forwart

New Bond Issues
Find Ready Market
In the Dominion
Sales Thus Far This Year AL
most Equal i'm Volume to
Total for 1917

Especial Correspondence to The Tribune>
TORONTO, June 22.-Forty-five mill
ion dollars Of bonds have been placed
in Canada, exclusive of Federal gov
eminent borrowings, since January 1.
The majority of these have been alb
sorbed by Canadian investors. It will
be recalled that nearly a year ago the
Dminion government issued a decree
that no bond issues should be made in
canada without a special license from
the Department of Finance at Ottawa.
This was for the purpose of insuring
success of the Victory Loan. For sew.
eral months after that comparatively
lew bond isues were made by munich
paiitles and provincial governments.
Ihls spring, however, has witnessed q
vigorous revival. All the new fiota-
lions were sanctioned by the govern
ment, in view Of the strong financial
condition of The country as a whole.
the long period that elapses before the
n1th war loan appears and because of
the maturity of previous provincial and
municipal loans that had to be re-
funded.
Municipal bond issues in the twelve
months ended December 81 last
amounted to $27,75O,0O0, as compared
with $25,00O,o0O during the first six
months of the current year, while
provincial issues totalled only $500
zoo, as against $1s,5oO,ooo this year to
date. In 1913 municipal borrowings
amounted to $115,761 900 and provincial
borrowings to $1s,999,O00.
The Victory Loan of $419, 1000, 900
placed last December has carried the
country up almost ia the nresent IN ;fa
war expenditures. Advances from the
Canadian banks will supply the gov
eminent with the funds it requires un-
til late in the autumn, when a new Vic
tory Loan. probably $500, 900, 600, will be
offered. Meanwhile the banks will be
called on for advances Of approximately
?l7S,000,o00, for which they will be re-
imbursed out of the Victory Loan pro-
cseeds. The residue of the fifth war
loan should carry the government into
the late spring Of 1919. The fact that
the government has offered no war loan
this year so far has given the munich
palities and provinces their chance.
