Balfour Sends In Report. .Washington, April 27.-The British war commission today entered upon its first day of uninterrupted work with a wide series of conferences touching every phase of .American participation in the war. 1i'xperts in all lines set out in earnest on the va rious paths prescribed by Foreignk Secretary Balfour as a result of his preliminary conferences with Ameri can ollicials to learn how most effec tively the British commission could be oi service. Mr. Halfour himself passed a stren uous day. The morning he devoted to writing his first report to Eagland, Speaking enthusiastically of his warm reception here and of the eagerness of the American government, to coop erate in every way to defeat the coil mon enemy. The report, which it IS stated, will be made public later in line with 'Ir. Balfour's desire to take not Only the two governments, but the two peoples fully into his confidence, was said to contain "very Joyous news for the British people." Attorney General Gregory called on Mr. Balfour in the afternoon and is understood to have discussed with him the nany kinds of legislation needed to protect public safety in war' time and to prevent aid and comfort reach ing the enemy. M. Viviani, head of the Frenclh comii mission, also called on (Mr. Balfour to more closely coordinate the work of the two commissions. Mi. Viviani told Mr. 'lalfour of the French commxis sion's decision to stay somewhat long er than originally planned and to change the purpose of their visit largely from mere ceremonial to one of service and advice. Charles M. Schwab, president of flte Bethllehem Steel Company, paid his re spects to Mr. Balfour, after a visit to the French commission. -ills visit, to gether with the trip to .New York to day of Lord Cunliffe, governor of the lBank of England, gave rise to much discussion about the changed status of this country from a neutral nation makig loans and sales through private individuals o na profit basis, to an Allied nation making loans direct through the government.

FRlANCE AND) l'TALY Wihal fet Fromx $200,00,000) to $$00, (00,004) Fronm Ameriea lax Few Damys, Seven Nations Meek lp. \Vashington, April 27.-President Wilson has apprloved reqluests fr'om Frane and -Italy fox' immediate finani eial aid and from $200,000,000 to $300, 000,000 wvill be loaned thema by thxe United States within the next few days, In the case of Italy arr'angemecnts already have been uuade fox' the traans fem' of the amoney and the loanx amay be annxoixncedl tomnora'ow. Whiile thle amouoxnt has not ben divulged i is uan dlerstoodl to be between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000.' Firance will r'eceive between $150, 000,000 and $200,000,000. parobably thle laarger amount. Before the end of next weekc the loan shiould be in Ambassa dor's .Jusserand's hands. WVithx the completion of those trans actions the total of the government's loans to the Allies with appa'oximate $500,000,000. Therxe is ever'y indhica tion that at least $500,000,000 more will be loaned the Allies befor'e the end of the fiscal year, JTune 30, andi the amount may ruxn to $1,000,000,000 more, bringing the gxrand total of Amer'iea's loans durxing the first three months of war up to $1,500,000,000. The administrationi has definItely dhe eIled to continue its loans to lEntenxte governments pendling the iasuxe of bonds(1, the money being r'alsed by the issuance of treasxary certificates of lxn deabtedlness. Revised estimates of IEntente needs indicate that the amount they will require prior to Juxne 30-the dlate tentatively sot for theo receipt of pro ceedls for the first bond issue-will be0 nearer $1,500,000,000 than the $i,000, 000,000 noiginally estmae~. T moot these requirements certificates of In debtedness may be issued by the Treasury Department in blocks of $250,000,000 every two weeks instead of every three weeks. The program as to this and other details, however, is still in a tentative stage. Seven nations have applied direct ly for loans or indicated that they would appreciate them-Great Britain, France, Italy, 'Russia, Belgium, Cuba, and to the surprise of many adminis tration oflicials, Haiti. In addition, It Is reported that Brazil, contemplating war with Germany, has sounded in formally the sentiment of ofilcials with a view to determining if her appli cation for a loan would be favorably received in case of war. Russia's needs probably will be the next taken up by the administration with a view to advancing such flnan cial aid as may be immediately imper ative. The financial programi with re sipect to Russia, however, may remain in tentative forn until the American commission soon to go abroad shall have made at least a preliminary re port as to her requirements. In the case of Italy the government is preparing to go further than to lend money. Italy needs both food and coal urgently and, just as urgently, needs ships) to transport them across the Atlantic. Ofqclals in extending credits to Italy to purchase her imme. diate requirernents here also are hope ful of finding means to get sutilclent ships to supply her wost pressing wants.
