hORTHCLIFFE PRAISES
 AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENTS
ABLE TO TURN OUT MORE AIR PLANE MOTORS THAN GER MANY. AUSTRIA AND ENG.
 LAND COMBINED.

London, Aug. 1G.-Lord Northcline today entertained at luncheon a num- Der of Canadian. Australian and American editors. Besides the editors there were present the Earl of Read ing, British ambassador to the United States; Premier Hughes of Australia. Premier Massey of New Zealand ana Premier Borden of Canada. the Aus tralian, Canadian and New Zealand high commassioners and a large num- Der of other prominent citizens of the dominion
 In toasting his guests Lord North elihe said that the way the colonials had been coming over to help the old country was one of the most touch- ing things in history He spoke of the campaigns in Gallipoli and Vimy ridge and also dwelt on what the Americans had done at Chateau The jerry The Americans, he said had proved to be the goods" What tn. Germans had called a mob in uniform had proved to be an entirely new and
 most efficient kind of an army.
 Lord Northcliffe also touched on the Ioutput of air engines in the United States and declared that this was far greater than the combined output of Austria and Germany or of the whole British empire. The new American Liberty motor ho said, was a wonder ful production. lie estimated that the
 United States could produce 10000 each month.
 One CT the ereat miracles of the worlf Lord Northcliffe added. was the way Inc Americans had been trans- ported by sea and land The railroad handling alone had been a grea, achievement and all of it had been done with order and astounding pune
 Hality lar in advance of the Amer ican governments promises. Likewise the efforts of the Americans in ship building and food production had been beyond imagination. America. he said, was turning out every kind of ship at unprecedented speed
 Lord Northclife criticized the se- crecy Of the British censorship, ny reason of which he said, the world had never realized the magnitude of Great Britain's silent efforts. The best proof of what Great Britain had done, he continued. existed in the casual:y lists, which the censor did not permit 10 become known 10 the people of Great Britain or her allies. The Ger mans knew the extent of the BriLishI losses to a man, he said.
 We have rad 90O,000 men Killed during the war" Lord Northclife said Last year our total casualties wereI more than SO0.00O. These figures are a sufficient answer to the German propaganda stories that England was ready to fight to the last Frenchman, Italian, American or man from the do- minions.'
 Lord Northclife concluded by say Ing every pacihcst newspaper inl Great Britain was subsidizeu.

SOCIALISTS AND UNIONISTS.
 BACK OF PRESIDENT
COUNTRY DID NOT WANT WAR, BUT SINCE WE WERE DRAWN
 IN WILL GO TO A FINISH.

London, Aug. 16.-,Emphatic asser- ton that all American socialists onl labor unionists unreservedly support President Wilson's war aims have been given to British labor men av members of the social Democratic League of America
 Il come 10 emphasize that all American socialists and labor miol- Ists are unreseryedly back of Presi- dent W ilson and his war aims.7 de clared A. M Simons, of Wisconsin. one of the members of the commi3- slon, in an address he delivered at a dlnner given to the mission at ,he House of Commons. America stlll out of the war two years" continue !! Mir Simons, taking recourse 10 every means at hand 10 avoid participation in what seems the world catastrophe. Since our entrance into the war Pres ident Wilson has given the Germans every opportunity to avoid further blOodshed. We Lave laid our cards on the table and waited patiently. but the only answer is that of the cannon of the enemys hosts in battle We hate war We did not want militar- ism in the United States But We are lighting now and intend to continue 10 fight with all our means to make war a bad investment hv any nation In the future"
 John Spareo, another member of the mission, declared that unless the United States was to bear in future the greatest military burden known to the nations Prussianism must pe crushed at the earliest possible mo- ment. such creed is in keeping with our paeillsm" he said. We believe unparalleled disaster that a thousand years Of toll and suffering could not right"
 John Hodge, British minister cc pensions. said there could be no douOt about the soundness of British lanu in the war, notwithstanding certain unfortunate impressions. We admit ,'I he said. that as in the ease of almost every country we have certain pro- portion of wrOng headed people lmOng us, and they imposeon us the dfty of great vigilance. For instance, at the moment we are not unaware Of the| fact that, among some 400 labor candidates for parliament in the com ing general election, there will pUs- sibly he something like 90 per cent .of them of the paeifist persuasion
 C. w. Bowerman, parliamentary secretary of the British Trade union, representing 3,000000 workers, said that the heart of labor in the British
 isles beat n unison with that of theu brothers in America on the subject ot the war. The eyes of socialists and labor union men in Great Britain, he added, had been opened by the prog ress of the American Social Demo cratic movement

SHOCKED SOLDIERS ARE
 RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
BASE HOSPITAL ESTABLISHED Q IN FRANCE FOR SPECIAL CARE OF SHELL SHOCK
 ED SOLDIERS.

A Chateau in Lorraine. Aug. lG.- American soldiers suffering from shell shock now are hurried in the shortest time to base hospital es. abolished here for the special treat ment of such cases. The element of time is regarded by the specialists attached to this hospital as of prime importance Efforts are made to de- liver such cases to the hospital with iG forty eight hours after the first symptoms deyelope A special am- Oulance service has been organized for that purpose Once here, the shocked soldier remains here until the treatment of his case is finished
 If the nervous trouble of d patient results from concession or from the strain of service, 1t is curable here. If 1t is not curable, 1t is because the case was not brought here soon enough or because it had a cronic foundation before the patient went into the army Nervous symptoms resembling what has been called shell shack have developed under the strain of service in soldiers who have never heard a shell explode
 Base Hospital IF treats both these aspects of war neurosis. and only according to the highest standards Of neurological science. Hypnosis, is seldom used No dangerous expert ments are allowed and isolation is not followed excepting as simple ward routine The patients are kept together and the nurses are kept with them, giving their company as well as their experienced care and hoth are a part of the cure.
 The patients, themselves. when they have recovered sufficiently be- come eX-officio members of the staff; they cooperate with the doctors and nurses in helping the other boys out of their muddled condition of mind and their unsteady state of nerves.
 The most obvious part of inc treat ment is the use of tools or the in struments of sport A shaking hand that is unable to retain anything in it gradually stedies with patient gripping exercise and this method has tho advantage of occupying the
 mind while it re-educates the hand One boy whose head and hands were shaking constantly was seen weaving things out of dyed ends of string on a loom made for him out o odds and ends of lumber by othel patients Throueh his attention tc
 the work and hy the growing firm Imess of grip obtained througt practice he is gaining control of his nerves and will be cured in a few days A machine shop with turnine lathes, a tailoring shop and the am hulance garage furnish occupations for many.
 All cases of palsy and paralysi. resulting from concusion are cured here when taken in time. A boy whc was brought in with a paralyzed leg is now walking around the grounds after a week of treatment. Defects oi speech are the most difficult cases. The treatment is longer anu requires greater pains, but they yield 10 it finally.

GERMAN DiPL OMAcY?-TAERE IS
 NONE

aroln a most unexpected quarter comes an assault on German diplo- lie influential ana at tunes quasi-official F'rankfurter Zeitune complains that during the last four years the Berlin foreign office has acted in an cratic and bewildering manner. It admits, in short, that Ger man diplomacy has forfeited all claims to trust and confidence How, it asks. can any government take the word Of the Geerman foreign office when it contradicts and stultifies itself so of ten?
 It is not likely that the well informed newspaper which indulges in these re- markable comments is really at a loss to account for the antics of the Ger man foreign office. It must be well aware that there is no such thing as German diplomacy Germany boasts of It's mighty strength. Of the good German sword. of it's right to do whatever it chooses, since German judgments, being German, are neees- sarily righteous judgments.
 In Germany the military cahal rules, and the so-called diplomats are mere puppets. Imperial chancellors and secretaries of foreign affairs take orders from the great general stafi Ludendorff is now the dictator of Ger many The foreign office has no terms of peace. for it's terms notoriousy vary with the military situation Dvery success makes the militarists more arrogant and remorseless as Mas demonstrated at Brest-Litoysk De feat alone causes them to revise their demands in the direction of apparent moderation, and even then they have no honest intention of abiding by promises or treaties.
 German diplomacy? There isA no such thing.
