Preparations have advanced for the reception of United States naval, air and army forces, says the “Daily Mail.” American technicians for months have been equipping a great base in Northern Ireland which the Americans have christened “Little America.” It has been built chiefly for the reception of lend-lease supplies, but it possesses elaborate facilities for military, air and naval forces.
