new LIBERTY MOTOR
IS BEST IN WORLD
Experiments Show American Air
plane Engine Excels All Others
That Have Been Used

WASHINGTON; September l2-(As.
sorIated Rressl The new Liberty
Motor airplane engine, with which
the United States hopes to gain the
supremacy of the air in the war with
the Central Powers, has been proved,
after exhaustive tests, to be the best in
the world today. .,,s - r. q .t...,.
Secretary of War Baker today an
nounced that the engine has passed its
final test. The best brains of the motor
world have contributed to the success
of the enterprise, and officials are en-.
thusiastic over its performances.
. Experts of the army, navy and other
branches Of the government have been
working night and day to perfect the
most powerful airplane motor ever de-
yised. -,
"The Liberty Motor" has stood the
test. 1t is an adaptation on magni-
fed scale Of the principles underlying
other motors, but Is so constructed that
it develops a greater horse power in a
lighter mechanism than anything here
tofOre used. : p, 49, ~.
The mechanism is being guarded with
the greatest secrecy. All that can be
said is, the motor has proved that It
can driv" IN airElane faster than any
one was ever driven before. AS speed
is the vital requisite to supremacy of
the air, the Importance of the new mo.
tor is apparent.
Its construction is so simple that the
parts can be standardized with relative
ease. so that duplicates may be turned
out by the thousands in automobile
shops.
In addition to the perfection Of the
Liberty Motor" the United States
Is preparing to manufacture large guam,
titles Of type Of British engine which
has been Of great value in the aviation
eampaign.J A corps of British experts
have come here and will shortly be
placed in charge of great automobile
factory which will be taken over by the
