. (Uuitea Press staff correspondent.)
. Washington, Juiie 21. Invasion of
Germany carrying of the fight into
the liaiser's territory through the air
with success deemed, certain, is the
plan of the allies.
Chieftains of visiting war commis
sions insist the 'plan 'will' bring com
plete victory nearer by many -mouths
provided the National Defense Coun
cil's air craft production board pro
gram goes through. That program calls
for four thousand" American air ma
chines for the fighting front by April
1 and for ten thousand by August-
Lieutenant Amaury Dc La Grange,
ioted French air fighter, today made
this revelation in an interview given
the United Tress. He emphasized the
importance the allied general staffs at
tach to America's capabilities in fura
ishing the "air preponderance" that
lie is convinced will make possible shat
tering of the Teuton battle lineB.
"Nothing is impossible if we allies
get and hold mastery of tho air,'.' De
La Grange said. "Berlin is even open
to us. Let America vontribute as her
Digjest share toward re-establishment
of democracy, the air preponderance,
as she can do, and then, indeed, will
Germany 's ' ' divine right ' rulers call
for a real peace instead of a pseudo
peace. ' -
Will Go Tat to End War.
- "Put through this proposed program
and vou Americans will have done more
to end the war with less cost in money
and lives than you could do in any one
or all of a dozen ways.
" Pnt through this program and we
tan clestroy the German munition works,
their great mobilization depot, - their
great factories for prosecution of motor
transport and' flying machines.
"Put it through and you Americana
will make possible the destruction of
those bases from which steal murderous
submarines. ' ' "
"Furnish, in democracy's cause, the
great air squadrou and we fighting
men will make" scrapheaps of the great
German naval bases. The Kiel canal
will be made useless, if we have enough
machines.
"Germany has declared ' vorboten'
certain sea r.ones. With complete air
mastery, we will declaro forbidden
zones in German territory say a zone
100 niile3 behind the German .lines- We
will give cidians ample time to move
away.
'.'Then with our numerically superior
air fighters, we ' can conduct super
raids behind the lines, over munitions
plants,' on troop mobilization points and
on artillery- stations that will make it
impossible, for the Germans to with
stand any series of attacks.
"But we Must have four machines
to one German machine to do this.

line for the Red Cross $100,000,000 war
fund. Mr. Tooze solicited and collected
his last contribution for yesterday at

station at that time, or who; positivcly
declines to say what the charge was,

Other developments in the probe of

King Constantine Believed
He Ruled By Divine Right;
Was Responsible Only to God
Salonika, Juno 19., via London, Jury1
21. "I am rot .obliged to bow to the
will of the people. I am responsible on
ly to God."
King Constantine of Greece made this
statement to his premier, Elutbcros
Venizelos, when the latter insisted that
.the will of the Greek people be recog
nized and Greece's treaty with Servra
be fulfilled.
Constantine, now deposed, is an exile
in Switzerltand, Venizelos, president of
the Greek provisional government and
a power in Greek affairs, revealed the
complete adherence of Constantine to
the theory of divine right of kings in
a statement to the United Press today.
It was an explanation of the reforms
the Greek people will demand in accept
ing -Alexander, Constantine 's second
son. as king-
Venizelos declares tie Greek people
were willing to "make another expert
nient in constitutional monarchy, but
will hold that the constitution must be
revised." . ,
In telling for the first time the de
tails of the interview between him serf
and Constantine at the time of the
Greek crisis. Venizelog said:
"The Greek people desire that the
king may never again be able to say to
the responsible head of the government,
as Constantine said to me, that he is
responsible only to God. '

Mrs. Richardson, Red Haired
and From Missouri, Wants
"To Be Shown"
Washington, June 21. Screaming
"traitors," an angry mob led by Mrs.
Dee Richardson, attacked the suffrage
pickets at both tho west and east gates
of the White House this afternoon, rip
ping down their yellow banners and.
trampling them in the street.
Miss Hazel Hunkins, one of the pick
ets, climbed upon the paling of the
White HouoO fence, holding her flag
aloft in a vain endeavor to save it. Mrs.
Richardson climbed up after her and
after a bitter struggle wrenched the
banner away and tossed it to the howl-
in if crowd.
These banners were old ones, asking
the president what ho intended to do for
suffrage, which have been displayed at
the White House gates for mouths.
Police reserves were called out to
quell the rioting, in which several thou
sand men and largo numbers of women
took part. Nenrly ten thousand persons
witnessed the route of the suffrage
pickets. - -
Immediately arter tne first nags were
ripped to bits, a duplicate of the denun
ciatory banner addressed to the Rus
sian commission wan put up at the west
gate. The crowd made a rush forward
and the sign went down instantly amid
the snapping of its wooden framewsrk
and the wild cheering of the crowd
which could be heard for blocks.
"A Dirty Yellow Traitor."
A big crowd had assembled shortly
after noon along the entire front of the
White House to witness the erection of
the third banner addressed, to the Rus
sian commission. It failed to appear
at the-scheduled time. While the throng
was waiting. Mrs. Richardson suddenly
ran up to the yellow pennaut held by
Miss.Huiikins and spit on it.
"You are a dirty yellow traitor,"
she shouted. .
Then she suddenly grasped the cloth,
ripped it from the flagstaff after a
fight and throw It to the crowd, which
trampled it.
Another banner held by Mrs. R. D.
Heacox was similarly treated. Both
pickets were roughly handled by Mrs.
Richardson. Both began to weep.

"Nevertheless, mindful of all the

TO BEGIN riGHTING
Petrograd, June 21. The
"all-Russia congress of work-
meu and soldiers" today unaui-
mously resolved upon an imme-
diate Russian offensive.
The unanimous vote indicates of
that even the Petrograd council
of workmen's and soldiers ldele-
gates which has heretofore
been strongly in favor of peace, k
has been won over to the war
aide in view of the overwhelm-
ing sentiment to that end devel-
oped by . all Russian confer-
ences. -
The Petrograd local, council
has heretofore assumed a place
of national importance, but with .
the : assembling of delegates
from all over the nation is npw -
completely overshadowed.
Another evidence of crystal-
ization of sentiment that Russia $
should right and 'fight at once
was given today in a manifesto
by the military union of women
volunteers. .
"The workers are appealing
for an unrelenting struggle
against an enemy who is moved
solely bv imperialistic and slav-
ing tendencies.
. "We ask our allies to shar-
itably consider Russia's dif-
ficnlties and excuse our over-
absorption in the task of eoa-

Revolution Threatens
Austrian Government
' Berne, Switzerland, June 21.
The movement which result
ed in the downfall of -the Aus
trian cabinet bears all the ear
marks of a revolution in its in
cipioney, according to private
advices received from Vienna.
While the primary eause of
fount Clain-Martinic 's resig
nation was opposition of the
I'blish nationalists, it was point
ed out .that this party is sup'
porting the Czechs in their de
mand for a separate kingdom
of Bohemia and those of tho
Slavs who are demanding a sep
arate southern principality cre
ated eut of Austria's domin
ions. Thus three formidable
movements for secossion are
now joined in one powerful anti
government plan.
Proceedings -in the reichsrat
last week, heretofore suppress
ed were reported today to have
included very frank speeches
bv the Polos and Czechs- The
Poles declared they demanded
"a united and independent
Polund, not the farcical king
dom of Poland which Germany
and Austria have pretended to
create. "
