CLOSING UP WAR TRANSACTIONS

London. July 22. - Correspondence of The Associaed Press). American army and navy officers who are try ing to- close up the war financial transactions between the United States and Great Britain, hope to have their task completed by Septem- Der l. If that end is reached the ma jority of the T5 army officers and 200 men now here will be sent home, and the navy force will be reduced to a. few experts to tie tfI last remaining strings
 The magnitude of the task will be appreciated when it is known that the army alone bought 2,000. 900 tons of equipment and supplies here and shipped them to France, while the na- " had large forces of ships which were constantly purchasing things from British warehouses.
 Another element in 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 $15G.00o for supplies for the American troops

 While the fleet was wheeling into single column formation Saturday night, civilians on board the New Mexico were startled to see the Mississippi bearing down on the star board quarter of the fiagship.- To the noughts a sea seemed inevitab ble. The starboard and the Mississippi swept clear of her stern by what seemed a matter of feet.
 Admiral Rodman. standing on the quarter decsk of his flagship, showed no, traces of concern. and beyond giv- ing a quiet order or two gazed coolly at the threatening bow of the Missis- sippi.
 Probably the Mississippi wants to come aboard to see our moving picture show" he remarked as the Mississippi began to fall astern again.
 His attitude in the tehse situation was instantly reflected by the ships officers and crew.
 Now I know why Admiral Rodman was selected to command the sixth battle squadron of the. British fleet" remarked an officer who has just join- ed the New Mexico. He is as cold as ice water in a situation"
