"1 am the first minister In behalf of Britain to salute America as one of our comrades In arms," Lloyd George declared.

"I'm glad of It; I'm proud of it. I'm glad, not merely because of the stupendous resources that your great nation can render to aid the alliance, but I re joice as a democrat that the advent of the United States gives the linal stamp and seal to the character of the conflict.

"This is the first time we have come into the war in the old world," remarked Ambassador Page, in introducing the British prime minister, "except once when we came to suppress the Barbary pirates. It is singular that our present errand is so similar to that previous entrance." The ambassador said he believed the war would result in a better understanding of the United States by the free nations of Europe and vice versa. "This. he added, "is the largest constructive political neea or tne world." (Continued on Page Six.)
