CANTEEN PROFITS — COMING TO SOLDIERS -. Every Canadian Soldier to Receive About Fourteen Shillings. (Special by G.T.P. Telxgraphs.) LONDON, Jan. 3.—The reported estimates of the full amount ern front and avaiiable for dis- tribution among the British fight- ing forces are all tremendously exaggerated, according to author- itie here. The total amount available will not exceed £2,000,- 8 000, It is true that a huge busi- ness was done, but the cost of distributing the goods was cor- respondingly high, thus bringing down the profits. Accormding to the proposed divi- sion, every British soldier will receive ten shillings, every Cana- dian soldier about fourteen shill- ings and every Australian soldier sevenieen shillings. The reason for the distinctive amounts is the higher pay received by the Do- minion and Commonwealth troops. Already £70,000 has been ad- vanced on the Canadian account, of which £50,000 has been re- mitted to Ottawa, The remainder has been retained here to carry on the work of the committee in- vestigating separation allowances claims, which committee has done much to alleviate suffering among the dependents of Cana- dian soldiers.
