BETTER RELATIONS
LORD NoRTHcLlFFE APPEALS
TO 5RlToNs TO CATER TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
ISSUES SPECIAL EDITION
london Times Calls Attention To Fact
That Yanks Came at Dark
est Hour and Gave
Relief.

London - A noteworthy effort to
promote stable good relations between
Great Britain and the United States
is made by Lord No.thcliffe in an
American supplement of the Times
published on independence Day.
The unique power Of Northcliffe as
publicist could not be applied to
worthier object or one more urgent.
Every sensible man must recognize
that the labors OF the peace confer
ence will have been worse than
wasted II their sequel is bad feeling
between England and America.
The fact that Lord Northcliffe, the
keenest judge Of public opinion in
these islands, should deem 1t neces.
sary to make this special effort
speaks for itself That he should
simultaneously advocate dominion
rule for Ireland shows equally clearly
his perception Of the main source OF
the trouble, which is Of long standing,
and which has been aggravated by
the British attitude toward Americans
before and since they entered the
war.
There doubtless have been faults on
both sides, but when the Americans
were coming over their advent in the
darkest hour OF the whole struggle
was heralded by the sheer generally
heard: "The Yanks will now claim
they have won the war" Although
they did nothing of Che kind, the &C.
cusation is still maintained against
them, with many others springing out
Of II.
Outside the Northcliffe press there
Is no conservative paper here that
does not show an antiAmerican bias,
more or less openly. Sometimes II
finds expression in such childish as
sertions as for example that OF the
Evening Standard. which in a perfer
vid panegyric on Mr.. Balfour stated
that not President Wilson but Mr..
Balfour brought America into the war.
Nor is this sort Of thing confined to
the conservative papers, The Star, q
radical evening paper, has shown
much the same spirit and recently
Joined in the wholesale furious de-
meals of tue allegations of the Irish
American delegations, which 1t has alb
stained from retracting since, al.
though practically every one of these
allegations has been sustained.
AS the author OF the fourteen
points, President wilson is the special
butt of sort Of prejudice that pre-.
walls. Northcliffe, In attempting to
combat these prejudices. is rendering
valuable service to continued peace.
In recognizing that the first essential
step is the settlement OF Ireland's de.
mand on the lines OF dominion home
rule, he shows the courage which
must inspire wise and successful
craftsmanship. It is to be hoped that
no feeling Of partisanship or sense OF
being unbalanced by Northcliffe will
cause the Liberal leaders and Liberal
press to maintain their strange ST.
ience on this supremacy important
question.

The national defense act authorized

the line and 63,815 officers and men
for the staff corps and departments.
A reduction of the military establish.
ment to these figures would be 100,-

In addition, this same industry would have provided 30,0O0 ambulances, 10000 passenger cars, 10000 motorcycles and 10000 bi- cycles, making a grand total ap- preaching 100000 vehicles, costing (with spare parts) more than $7O0,- 100000.

DON'T RACE WHEELS
 WHEN IN THE SAND

Remembering that the slower a wheel turns the more traction it has will enable many motorists to avoid the terrors of a self-dug grave when stuck in mud or sand.
 Nine owners out of ten, when stuck in the mud, will put theirs in low gear and then race their engines fo, dear life, shortening the life of both tire and motor. With the wheels go. ing at such pace it is impossible to get any traction, even if straw or twigs are placed beneath the treads and tire chains will be slipped around idly. The effect is usually to dig a deep hole and increase the difficulty
 The correct way is to pack cloth or twigs below the wheels, use low gear and only speed the motor sufficiently to take the clutch without stalling Above all things, don't race the en- zine.
