qRMY AND NAVY AFFAIRS WILL BE ENDED SOON Forces in London Will Then
 Be Sent Home. LARGE SUMS
 TO BE PAID Red Cross Expects to Fin ish Business August l.

London, July 2t.---(Corresponden" of The Associated Press. army and navy officers who are trying 10 close up the war financial trans actions between the United States and Great Britain. hope to have their task oorlrleted by September 1. If that end ts reached the majority of the 75 army officers and 200 men now there will be sent home. and the navy force will be reduced to few experts to tie the last remaining strings.
 The magnitude of the task will be appreciated when 1t is known that the army alone bought 2.OOo 900 tons of equipment and supplies here ana shipped them to France. while the navy had large forces of ships which were constantly purchasing things from British warehouses.
 Another element fin the situation is the slow and deliberate manner in which the British render their bills. One such bill received at army head quarters today amounted to sl5Oo9o for supplies for the American troops in Northern Russia.
 It frequently happens that errors occur. but they are quickly found and adjusted without friction. as in the case of bill which reached the Amer ican naval headquarters here the other day. It carried the expense of an entertainment given to the officers of an American battleship by the otl- cers of a British squadron with whie h it had been working. The bill had been placed in the American package by the orror of some clerk. The American paymaster in charge tact fully returned it without comment. and some one in the British office probably spent an unhappy half hour.
 Civilian clerks are being released as fui kly- as possible. and the 500 still at york expect to be gone in two months.
 American Red Cross activities also are being closed up with all possible speed. and it is possible the London 70 "-i'' be reduced to a few expert accountants and stenographers by .N4gust 1. They too are paying bills. ~rt one canteen and one hospital are still in operation.

night watch service and the balance In
about equal proportions by sprinkler
