Premier Lloyd George Asks for Reinforcements MiY YORK, March 2S. A message from David Lloyd George premier of Great Britain, calling upon the United States to send American reinforcements across the Atlantic in the shortest possihle space of time, was read tonight tv Lord Reading, British high commissioner to the United States, at a dinner given here in his honor. The message follows: "We are at the crisis of the war, attacked by an immense superiority of German troops. Our army has been forced to retire. The retirement has been carried out methodically before the pressure of a steady succession of fresh German reserves which are suffering enormous losses. "The situation is being faced with splendid courage and resolution. The dogged pluck of our troops has for the moment checked the ceaseless onrush of the enemy and the French have now joined in the struggle. But this battle, the greatest and most momentous in the history of the world, is only just beginning. Throughout it the French and British are buoyed with the knowledge that the great republic of the west will neglect no effort which can hasten its troops and its ships to Europe. "In war, time is vital. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of getting American reinforcements across the Atlantic in the shortest posible space of time."
