AMERICAN AID IN
WAR GETS PRAISE
OF NORTHCLIFFE

London, Aug. 16, Friday).-
American aid in the war was given
high praise by Viscount Northcliffe
today in welcoming representatives
of the overseas press and other dis
tinguished guests to a reception at
the Times office.
Lord Northcliffe explained that he
dilated on American efforts because,
through the Times, his words would
reach Germany, and because -
think it wise that they as well as
ourselves should know what lies in
the womb of the future in regard
to the United States" He told of
Americas efforts on sea and land,
in transport shipbuilding, manufac-
ture of airplanes, food production
and other things. He estimated that
America would produce 10000 Lib
erty motors monthly and that its
other war efforts are on similar
huge scale.
