RUSH TO VENIZELOS.
People OF TheSsaly Enthusiastic for

PARIS, June 1s.-The rush Of the peo-

uons OF the province have repudiated

BRITAIN soon TO
MAKE REPRISAL
BOnar Law Tells Commons Air
Raids Are Being Discussed
With France.


LONDON, June 1s.-Many indications
point to the conclusion that air warfare
will increase It's Importance In relation
to the whole struggle. The coroners
juries are demanding reprisals for the
recent German raids on England and
the Government announced this after
noon through Bonar Law that 1t was
open minded on the subject. indicating
that measures were in preparation.
The public Is insisting that raids
against German cities be started and at
the same time the German newspapers
are curiously inexpensive regarding the
success" of the recent air raid on Lon
don in killing more than a hundred per-
sons and wounding more than 400.
A big explosion in Berlin caused
panic. the people believing that at last
the Allies were instituting reprisal raids
and that the first of these had reached
Berlin.
Dutch dispatches from Ghent report
that allied aircraft have bombarded and
fred and completely destroyed big
munitions works In that city, causing
long death list.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans have planned and are prepared
t. continue raiding England and that
| the Allies will move tardily In adopting
q reprisal policy. Great Britain never
was less panicky than now on this ac'
count. but Germany's nerves evidently
are hopelessly on edge.

VIII SON PROMISES BEL GUM
AMERICA WILL RESTORE HER
"On Inevitable Day Of Victory the Little Nation Will
Regain Place She Has So Richly
Won, He Pledges.

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-In greeting
Belgium's war mission to-day President
Wilson expressed Americas Solemn de-
termination that on the inevitable day
of victory Belgium shall be restored to
the place she has SO richly won among
the self-respecting and respected ma
tions OF the earth"
Baron Moncheur, head of the mission,
handed to President Wilson a personal
letter from King Albert, and expressed
in short address Belgium's gratitude
for Americas aid. President Wilson,
thanking Baron Moncheur and through
him King Albert also. said:
Your Excellency Is good enough to
express the thanks Of the Belgian people
for the participation of America in feed
ing the people Of your stricken country.
This work In which so many Americans
nave been enthusiastically engaged
since the beginning of the war is one
which has brought as much Of benefit
to them as to the innocent civilian pop
ulation whom 1t was intended to aid.
America engaged upon this work as
being the only means. however made
quate. OF expressing our deep and sin
cere admiration for the valiant nation
that has gone forth unhesitatingly to
meet the onslaughts OF a ruthless enemy
rather than sacrifice her honor and her
self-rcspect.
THE American people have been able
to understand and glory in the untlinch-
ing heroism Of the Belgian people and
their sovereign. and there is not one
among US who does not to-day welcome
the opportunity Of expressing to you our
heartfelt sympathy and friendship, and
our solemn determination that on the
inevitable day of victory Belgium shall
be restored to the place she has SO
richly won among the self-respectins

LONGER RANGE RAIDS.
Britain ana France Prepare fOz
Cooperation.

LONDON, June 1s.-Replying to
series of questions in the House OF Com
mons this afternoon as to whether the
British Government had decided upon re-
prisals for the German air raid on Eng
land, Andrew Bonar Law, member OF
the British War Council, said the Gov
ernment intended to take steps not only
for damaging the enemy but for pre-
venting raids on England.
1t was a mistake. Mr.. Bonar Law said,
to assume that air raiding was conhned
to the enemy. The British air force in
France had raided German communica-
tions and all important military OBJ
jectives behind the lines which we're OF
sufficient Importance to JUSTIFY sucn
enterprises. With the increase OF the
British air forces and the improvement
Of airplanes. raids against objectives at
longer range were becoming more prac-
ticable. The Government was In con-
eultation with France and the military
authorities at the front as to the most
effective means Of meeting the situation
