is actually in state of war with them.
 Information has reached the Stat, Department that the Greek minister in Paris has notified the French government Greece considers hersel full belligerent and will act ac cordingly.
 He said it was not necessary tt issue a formal declaration of war as the government feels it is bound by the declaration previously issued at Saloniki by Premier VenizelOs who took with him to Athens al the responsibilities and commit ments of the temporary Sanolik government
 As belligerent Greece is ex- pected to lose no time in mobilizine her war resources and joining Of fectively in the common allied operations in the Balkans.
 The strength of the Venizelos army is placed at about 60.000 men and the remnants of the former
 
 ,O00 now, has at times been mob ilized at total of 100000 men and is capable of reaching 300,000 if munitions are provided. The regulars practically were de- mobilized by the Allies when former King Constantine held the organi- ration as threat to the Allies rear. but can quickly be called to the colors again.
 While it is understood the new government has not yet mobilized her army, the classes of 1916 and 1917, previously prevented by the Allies being called out. were called % the colors about two weeks ago.
 Commissioner Jonnatt, whom the allies entrusted with enforcing Con- stantine's abdication, has reported that Greek army of 250,000 will be raised to add to the 100000 al- lied soldiers already in the Bal kans.
 A Greek mission may be sent to the United States.
 It is understood here that while some pro-German anti-war spirit re- mains in Greece, a great majority of the people are happy that flat decision has at last been made and that the perils and uncertainties that have beset the nations at tempts to be neutral are ended.
 It is realized that Greece has a splendid opportunity to strength en her international position. which has suffered through her doubtful policy throughout the war.

Today's Anniversaries

On June IS, in the year GA Nero
 instigated the burning of Rome. This eonflagration he then attributed to
 the Christians which was the cause of the first persecution of the Christians.
 On the same day in the year 1429 the
 Battle of Patray in France was fought. The English under Talbot
 defeated by the French under Joan
 of Arc with a loss of 1.5o0 slain and
 1000 captured. It was in this con
 flict that the noted Sir John Fall
 staff, considering discretion to be the
 better part of valor, dropped his lance
 and ran away. Tn 1888 the Colony of
 Virginia, it's members discouraged by
 their losses and various other nisfor-
 tunes, embarked for England. The first duel in New England was fought on June IS, 1921 by two servants with sword and dagger. Both were wounded. For; this pereformance they were sentenced to lie 24 hours with theads and feet tied together.

How startling was the difference in the customs of the English and the Scots even less than a century ago is shown in the story of the way in which the famous highland chief, Alastir Macdonell, of Glengarry frightened George ". out of his wits. In 1922 GIengarry was one of party of Scot tish nobles and gentlemen who ban quoted ''the first gentleman of Europe" in Holyrood palace. Colonel Macdonell was the last chief to wear the full highland costume, .and when the com. pany sat down to dinner be, according to custom, placed brace of loaded pistols by his plate. The king started up in alarm and was persuaded to re- main in the room only on tue assurance that Glengarry meant no treason. Lon don Spectator.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS READY TO ASK FOR HUGE AIR FUND OF $500, 900, 900 TOASSURE DECISIVE ALI LIED VICTORY

Washington. June 1s-TheN Admin istration is standing squarely behind the project to develop the aviation branch of the American army and navy on huge scale as the most ef- fective and immediate contribution this country can make to the Allied cause.
 Members of Congress in close touch with the plans of the government dis closed the fact yesterday that the President contemplates sending to the capitol this week an estimate for $500, ,ooo, ,o00 for the construction of airplanes, hydroplanes and other air. craft and the training of aviators in large numbers to carry the Stars and Stripes over the fighting lines in Flu rope.
 Less than five years ago a request that Congress appropriate s50.o0o for aviation raised hubbub on Capitol HILL During the past two and a half months an aggregate of something like $6o, 900 has been appropriated for aviation In the army and navy.
 As an evidence that the government is standing sQuarely behind the air craft campaign. Secretary of War Baker yesterday issued the followins statement:
 'srhe War Department is behind the aircraft plans with every ounce oi energy and enthusiasm at its com nland. The aircraft program seems by all means the most effective way in which to exert Americas force at once in telling fashion.
 we can train thousands of aviators and build thousands of machines with. out interfering in the slightest with the plans for beildang up our armies and for supplying the Allies with food and munitions. To train and eduir our armies and send them abroad will take time, however, and in the mean while we can be devoting to this most important service vast quantities o1 productive machinery and skilled labor which otherwise could not b. contributing to the nations cause II full proportion to its capacity.
 Every consideration points to th' effectiveness of a highly developed al, service in it's relation to the par which the United States can play i, putting an end to the war. It live up to all of Americas traditions o doing things on a. splendid scale

will put us on our mettle from the point of view, both of mechanical in- genuity and of individual daring and initiative.
 At the same time, compared with the transportation of an expedition- ary force of infantry and artillery large enough to be of decisive value on the western front, it offers little or no difficulty. All through the coming year we shall have to reckon with the shipping problem, and what ever aid we send abroad, whether in men or in supplies, must be calculated for securing as efficient use as pos sible of available tonnage.
 '"The aircraft plan meets the de- mands of the situation. Under exist ing conditions of fighting, where the Allies and the Germans are fighting on practically even terms as regards man power and aircraft, the addition which we can contribute to the All lied air forces will be approximately of far greater value than the imme- diate aid which we can furnish on land.
 According to the best obtainalble information there are about 7.000,00o men on the western front. The addi- tion of few infantry units, while ot great moral value, would mean little In forcing a decision, A few thous- and trained aviators, however, with the machines for their use. may spell the whole difference between victory and defeat. The supremacy of the air in modern warfare, is essential te a successful army. America mus
 make sure that the Allies and not Germany secures the permanent dom. ination of the air, and that within the year.
 Tt will take no ] more shippins space to send 1000 air pilots abroad than 1000 infantrymen; it will take no more space to send airplanes ant motors than to send artillery. It Ii now certain that if we make the eff fort we can send both men and ma
 chimes within a year to be of grea value. perhaps to turn the scale, al without handicapping our plans fo the army which is to follow, nor hin dering the vital flow of food and mu nitions.
 American airnen and airplane may turn the tide. They furnisl our supreme opportunity for imme diate service on the fighting line,H'

 REPRISALS IN AIR

London. June 18-A largely at- tended citizens meeting at the Lon- don Opera House yesterday adopted a resolution proposed by the Lord Mayor, urging the government to in itiate a policy of reprisals in the shape of ceaseless air attacks on German towns, in order that their population may experience the effects of such methods of warfare, and thus force the German authorities to cease their air attacks upon open towns.
 It was suggested that reprisals be undertaken co-jointly by at least two of the Allied powers, namely France and England, and that such cities as Berlin and Frankfort be selected.
