Great Britain Asks
u. S. for All Aero
Motors 1t Can Send
Lord Weir, Head of Lon-
don Air Board, Praises
American Aviators

An appeal from Lord Weir, head of
the Air Board in London, for the
United States to send the British air
force every motor you can" was read
by Major General W. S. Brancker, con-
troller general of equipment in the
British Air Council, at luncheon given
IN the generals honor yesterday.
For some time" Lord Weir said in
his message, "the United States de-
velopment programme has been on
thoroughly sound basis and founded on
a strong and definite policy. Our tech
meal superiority over the enemy is in
creasing and our new rpAchines show
the greatest promise for the future.
One of the leading factors in our pol
icy is the closest and most loyal CO.
operation with America and our other
allies.
America must not be impatient at
delays which are perfectly normal; and
sufficient evidence exists to show that
she is laying a very bread foundation
for unrestricted air effort. Here we
now gratefully acknowledge the quail
ity, the capacity, the modesty and the
bravery of her pilots and the excellent
material of her mechanic personnel.
Finally We again repeat, that the Lib
erty motor is of the very highest value
and America is justified in pushing her
output to the greatest possible extent
with the fullest conviction that its
value to the Allled cause will be re-
markable in character.
"send the Royal Air Force every
motor you can, especially during the
next three months, and we will install
mem mem at once IN most modern type of
pane winch, with our highly trained
pilots and organization, will give the
enemy foretaste of what she may ex-
pect IN steadily increasing volume"

Picture of Soldier Sought

Some New York photographer has a
picture of Fred Gerhardt, of "a West
Congress Street Chicago. and the
young mans family would like to find
out which one, for Gerhardt died when
the Moldavia was sunk in the British
Channel on May 23
Just before receiving the War De-
partment notice of his death, Ger
hardt's family got a letter from him
saying he had some pictures taken in
or about April % or May S.
One of the details which the young
soldier omitted was the name of the
photographer. There was not the
slightest indication who the photogra-
pher might have been, and the family
has asked The Tribune to publish its
dilemma, in the hope that the photog
rapher who took the picture will re-
member the incident.
