Tho persistency of suffritKo sentinels nt the White House, in hoisting bun tiers bearing inscriptions interpreted as being "treasjnable" cul luinuted in an anti-auffragc demonstra tion there today when a crowd of nenrly 1000 peraons tore down the banners for a second time today. Once earlier in the day, when the Btif fragiats appeared with a banner bearing the same inscription as that torn down yesterday, a small crowd demolished it without much demonstration. Soon nfter noon, however, the sentinels reappeared with n new banner, stouter than the others which they expected tho crowd would have more difficulty In destroying. The crowd was good-nntured for the most part but determined in its work and did not nttack the women who held tho bnnners. I'olicn were forced to clear the sidewalks in front of the White Houso several times but always managed to reach the scene of the attack on tho banners just a moment too late. -.The crowd was not organized and showed no signs of interfering with the sentinels themselves until a woman, mod estly dressed, who had been talking ear nestly to one of the sentinels for several minutes, suddenly snutched one of the banners and run Into Pennsylvania ave nue. In a moment the crowd got Into action and tlic sentinels were surrounded. One by one their flags of purple, white and gold, were taken from them and torn to shred. One standard bearer, Miss Haiel Hunkins, game to the last, climbed upon the pedental of one of the White House gate and raised her banner as high n she could over hear hend in an effort to save It. Khe lasted only a moment. A man took the pule from her band, 'broke it over the iron gate and the flag of suf frage ft'll to the ground. After all th? banners nt one entrance had been torn away the police began to disperse the crowd but some one remem bered the pickets at the other entrance and to the todting of score1 of nnto mobile horns in the crowded avenue, the crowd charged the banner bearer nt the other gate, The work there was quickly dme. One woman tore a bilken strip from the suffrage colors on her bat and held H high on a pole, f'he waa immediately surrounded br a guard of several other suffragists and effort to titke the color away from her proved unavailing for everal minutes. In the end, however, It met the fate of the rst and fr the ftrt time In many month the White House gates were free of suffrage colors. One arrest was made. A polfre matron took Into custody Mr. Hee Itichsrdson, the woman wb, I he police said, snatch ed down the first banner, Ixiter police ri serve surrounded the White House and kept the crowd moving. The White House had steadfastly re fused to allow the police to drive the sl bnt sentinel away, OffMnls have said they did not with to contribute to any "martyrdom L SAYS GERMANS Feeling of Serious Unrest Has Developed in Kaiser's Do main Since United States En tered War, Cambon Asserts. EFFECT ON ALLIES HAS BEEN TO INCREASE HOPE Secretary to Paris Minister of Foreign Affairs Looks to President Wilson to Maintain Moral Character of War. Varls, June 21. Jules Cambon, gen eral secretary of the ministry of foreign affairs, declared that the entranco of Amorica into the wnr had caused serinua unrest in tiernmny, in tho course of an Interview with a correspondent of Tho Associated Tress today. He said: "In the hearts of tho French people who welcomed General Pershing there was, firut of all, the desire to reply to the enthusiastic reception which tho American people gave the French dele gates, but there was also something else equally important. A feeling of aerious unrest was caused in Germany by the en try into tho struggle of a country which brings to the allies, together with Us entire strength, a freahnesB and ardor which have not been diminished by threo years of war. tiermany feels tbnt tho Americans, once engnged in tho strugglo, will not give up. It is to prevent this ce menting of close tlea that it is multiply ing ita efforts to spread dissension among the allies. "Tho incident of the Swiss aoclnlist, Grimm's, intrigue in Russia reveals Ger many's handiwork nnd ti ouo of tho straws Bhowing how uneasy nnd troubled Berlin is because of America. In Franco everyone realizes that this uneasiness and fear nro justified. Olscusses Socialist Proposal. In rcgnrd to tho publication of tho peuce progrnin of tho Herman mnjority aoctalinta at Stockholm, M. Cambon aald: 'It' proves that their aim coincide with those of their government, especial ly on tho Alsntinn question, wbbdi is to be the big question when negotiations lie gin. The American public must know that nil our questions, such na thoso concern ing economic, colonial, maritime, indem nity nnd Belgian matters, must yield bo fore it nnd according to its solution pos terity will know who triumphed." M. Cambon then refuted tho claim tnnt Alsace-Lorraine wna origlnnlly German territory which was wrested away by tho French. Ho said that Lorraine was French In population and Innguago nnd waa iriven to France by treaty in tho eighteenth century. A for Alsace, tho minister snid that It came to Trance ns n regard for French services in the thlrtv vears and while its mixed popu lation spoke German, It always preferred French domination. Tho A.sntiims, con tinued M. Onmbon. were faithful nd genuine patriots who were now counting on President Wilson' doctrine that peo ple should be governed to their desires, Count on Presldont Wllion Referring to President Wilson ling dav address, tho foreign aecretnry said that it wns n great success In France because of the precision of the pres. dent declaration, tho loftiness of nil viewpoint nnd tho moderation with which he expressed his war aim, "Many Frenchmen," ho contlnued( "count on President Wilson to maintnln the moral character of the wnr nnd inter pret for the nlliea the high Ideal which animates all. Turning to the Greek situation, M Cambon said that the French govern ment did not think it necessary to take anv coercive measure regarding Con staiitine's residence, bernuso hi role henceforth was estimated na iimnflucn tlal. 1C ILL Officers Are Ordered to Report at Portland June 25, to At tend Officers' School.
