AMERICA'S BASTION.
PERSHING ON BRITAIN. NEW YORK, July 4. The utmost American aid to Britain is urged by General Pershing, Commander of the American Expeditionary Force in the last war, in a telegram to the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. "As long as Britain stands, danger may be kept, at a distance," he eays. "Therefore, while organising and equipping ourselves, it is sound sense to do all we can to keep Britain supplied with food, arms and munitions, of which she must have a continuous supply if that outer bulwark of democracy its not to crumble. "If we do that, the last sacrifice may not be demanded from us. "British man-power far from exhausted, but there is desperate need for the products of our farms and factories."
