OTTAWA. Dec. 1S.-Canada's share

the British expeditionary forces
amounts to $35 900, it was learned
today. The money has recently been
brought from England by Lieutenant
Colonel Cherry of the Pay and Audit
Branch of the Department of Militia
and Defense.
AS all the money received by the
canteens came from the pockets OF
Canadian soldiers who saw overseas
service, a movement has been started
to turn the money back to the soldiers.
1t also has been suggested that the
money be turned over to the patriotic
fund. The authorities are expected to
announce their decision in a few days.

AMERICANS DEMoeoLlzED
FROM ENGLISH ARMY
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Demobili-
zation OF the ten thousand Americans,
who enlisted early in the war with
the British army, Red Cross records
show, has been completed with the
exception of few still undergoing
treatment in hospitals. This number
is exclusive of the thousands of others
who fought in the Colonial armies OF
Canada and Australia.
Although every effort was made by
the British authorities to releave the
Americans from service at the close
of hostilities, the rehabilitation was
retarded considerably by the difficulty
of many in proving their American
citizenship. Hundreds, in their en-
thusiasm to enlist with Kitchener's
army ii developed, had assumed Eng
lish birth places to facilitate their
enlistment.
