With the British Armies in the Field
June 19.-Wing officers out here arc
more than ever convinced that the war
will be decided largely in the air. For
that reason news of the American pro
iect to build and man huge sky ar
mada was enthusiastically received to
day. The airmen were agreed that the
United States is capable of an enOrm
GUS and rapid output of machines. More
over, they hold Americans are natural
ly fitted to be topnotchers as fliers-
only needing two or three weeks ac'
tual battlefield experience to make
them headliners in the fighting game.
That the Germans are keenly alive
to the importance of the air branch tc
military science is revealed in report
found on German officer captured re
Gently. 1t covered the period of the
Somme battle.
Admits Air Control
The report frankly admitted that the
British and French hold mastery of the
air. The Germans, it was asserted, were
unable to fly over the enemy lines and
German balloons were forced to remain
hidden on the ground. Thus, at decis-
i've moments in the fighting, the Ger
mans artillery was blinded, while the
Prussian infantry was harrassed by
war planes constantly soowping low
and machine cunning the men in the
trenches.

Report Found on Officer
Describes. HelpZessness
Caused By Control Of Air

The German helplessness, the report
continued was aggravated by knowl-
edge that artillery was unable to sup
fport them. The document continued
that the allied fliers SO ontnumbered
and out Unanswered the German air
planes that the latter were even unable
to hold tine air above their own artil-
lery positions. The British and French
machines constantly lowered overhead,
dropping bombs or giving their own ar
tillery accurate ranges.
The German report also admitted
that bases, ammunition depots, supply
columns, cavalry supporting the troops,
divisions in reserye--everything and
everybody, had been harrassed by the
allied airmen, often completely frus-
trating the defense at critical june
lures.
SHOWS Airship Necessity
In short, the German report was a
confession that an army is powerless
unless something approaching equality
is maintained in the air.
Thus the experts here agree that with
prompt action America can throw the
balance so completely to the allies that

Night Of Murder Caught

By George Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, June 19.-Deeper chan
nels of crime apparently opened today
as police, private detectives and the
district attorney 5 office delved into
the sordid pools Of lust and murder
which swept the pretty school girl,
Ruth Cruger. to her death. Shortly af-
ter midnight this morning Consuelo La
rue, young woman, who said she has
furnished Mrs. Grace Humiston with
the information which led to the find
ing of the Cruger girl body, was
found, hysterical and manned in a va
cant lot beside an apartment building
at 115 West Eightieth street.
Screams brought a policeman run
ming to the spot. Miss Larue was half
clad. Her left leg was broken in two
places. She had jumped from a second
story window.

what she meant, she said: "The men.

Then the young woman asked that

was taken but was ordered from the
room at once by the police She is
said to have declared she had known
Miss Larue for some time. At the hos
pital all information was refused ear
ly today and from police sources came
the suggestion that the Larue girl s
mind had been unbalanced by reading
of the Cruger crime.

hand Of the white slave ring which
Mrs. Humiston asserts is trapping, de-
