Foreign troops.
Washington, June 20.-Congress is
to be asked by the War department for
an appropriation to provide training
facilities in this country for forces
other than American troops. This

The natural assumption is that any
troops to be trained here would come
from some n of the nations in the
Western hemisphere who have Joined
the countries at war with Germany.
While no arrangements have been dis.
cussed looking to that end the depart

in a position to act promptly should
another nation consent to the train
ing and equipping of its forces In the
