2,000 AMERICANS WITH CANADIANS

London, August 16. -- "There are no fewer than 2,000 Americans in the ranks of the Canadian military contingent," said Major-General Sam Hughes, Canadian Minister of Militia, at a meeting of Americans held here last night.  "I have already written letters of gratitude and sympathy," said General Hughes, "to mothers of more than 100 American boys who have fallen while fighting in Flanders alongside of Canadian comrades.  More than 2,000 enlisted, and we could have many more if we wished.  Any number of West Pointers offered their services as officers, and some are now with us."
