CONSTANTINE PUD
FORFEIT OF CRBiffl
TO SUPPORT KAISER
Belief in Divine Right of Mon
archs to Do as They Please
Cost Him the Throne of
Greece
PARIS. June 13. —F.x-King Constan
tine. of Greece Is going to Switzerland
in his exile according to authoritative
information. received today from Athens.
LONDON. June 13.—One more king
has paid forfeit with his crown for his
support of the divine right of monarchs
to do* as they please. Constantine I,
king of Greece, was forced to abdicate
because he had lost the support of his
people and brought his nation almost to
ruin through insistence that Greece join
with the German intrigue. His succes
sor, the second son of the monarch, is
Prince Alexander, liberal-minded, not
subject to the intense pro-Geimanism of
his royal father and acceptable to the
allies.
Dispatches from Athens today de
clare the change In rulers had been ef
fected with an utter absence of disor
der. Demands voiced on behalf of the
allies by M. Jonnart, a French senator
and special envoy to Athens, that Con
stantine step down were acquiesced in
by that monarch without more than for*'
mal protestation. He refused to permit
his partisans to fight against the allies’
ultimatum that he resign.
Early entry of Greece into the war on
the side of the allies Is now expected.
Prince Alexander* the new ruler, who
presumably will take over the reins of
government at once, is known as pro
ally.
FRANCE TO AID GREECE.
Until Greece can reorganize her own
affairs, France will aid in the adminis
tration of her internal troubles, partic
ularly that of furnishing the country
with food. Greece has been under
blockade by the allied fleets since last
fall.
Constantine —“Tino" to the kaiser, ac
cording to his famous Christmas mes
sage to Queen Sophia, sister to the Ger
man ruler—is no longer to be permitted
to live in Greece, according, to the terms
with which the allies demanded his ab
dication. He must remain in exile and It
was expected today that eventually ho
would go to Germany. Early departure
of the king and queen in war
ship is expected.
First of the problems to be faced out
of the change in rulers is the restora
tion of unltl a/nong the Greek people
and of adequate measures to provide for
complete revictualing and distribution.
French forces are already landed in
Greece to aid in this work.
FUTURE OF VENIZELOS.
Secondly, comes the future of former
Premier Eleutherios Venizelos, now
head of the Greek provisional (revolu
tionary) government established at Sa
lonika. Venizelos had received com
plete support of the Greek people thrice
at the polls in his demand for Greece's
"benevolent neutrality" toward the al
lies. but the king thwarted this expres
sion of the popular will. Then Venize
ios organized a government and pledged
aid to the allies.
It Is of vital import to the allies that
Greece —the “back door to the Balkans—
be kept open to them and closed to Ger
many's machinations. A cosmopolitan
force of soldiers is fighting in Macedo
nia and Salonika, a Greek port, has long
been held by the allies as a base of op
erations for this army. Included under
General Serratl fighting Serbia’s battles
on the Macedonian front are Serbs,
Italians, French, British and Russians.
Venizelos' provisional government, lo
cated at Salonika, has been tacitly rec
ognized by all the allies. The new ruler.
Prince Alexander, is said to be an ar
dent admirer of the former prime min
ister.
Grecian Republic Headed
By Venizelos Is Probable
WASHINGTON, June 13.—Abdication
of King Constantine of Greece was re
garded here today as the probable fore
runner of a Grecian republic headed by
Venizelos, Constantine’s bitterest foe.
This second step, however, will not be
immediate. Instead this government,
following the lead of her allies, will
recognize the new regime under Con
stantine’s second son, Alexander.
For the moment, the abdication means
that the allies are going to have fuller
co-operation from Greece—the thing
they were unable to wring from the ob
durate and pro-German Constantine.
And the first avidence of this will
come from allied control of the rich
harvests of Thessaly. These harvests
are badly needed and will solve in large
measure of victualling the
British forces in Macedonia.
In addition, the allied control will be
such as to thwart any junction between
Greek troops and the Teutonic forces.
The idea of a Grecian republic has
been fomented tor some time and the
state department has had a request be
fore it to recognize a Ventzellst govern
ment. This has never received action,
however, as this government wanted to
act in full accord with the allies, even
though its own inclinations would be to
recognize a republic in Greece.
The allies have been able to make this
coup largely because of removal of Im
perial pressure from Russia. When the
czar was iT> power, the British and
French found themselves blocked In
their Greek dealings often because of
his Influence and friendship for Greece.
Whether it will be possible actually
to use Greek troops to aid the allies is
problematical. Inasmuch as most of the
army has been loyal to Constantine.
In any event, the Qreek situation is
such now that the army cannot harass
the British forces that might now be
thrown northeastward to cut the Berlin
to Bagdad pathway.
Some here believed today that the
"clearing of the Grecian situation” will
be followed shortly by military activity
in that war theater. It has frequently
been stated privately by military men
here that cutting of the Bagdad to Ber
lin rail highway by the allies would
mean a long step toward ending the war.
Such a move, successfully made,
would isolate the tottering Turks, cut
Germany and Austria off from the food
supplies Turkey is sending at the ex
pense of her Mohammedan population
and likewise shut off the supplies of am
munition and other war munitions from
Teuton factories to Turk battle lines in
Mesopotamia and other southeastern
sections where British and Russian
troops some weeks back were pounding
the Mohammedans up toward Constan
tinople.

U. S. BIGGEST TASK
IS TO PUT A HOST
OF PLANES IN WAR
Woodhousei of Aero Club,
Says-We Need 100,000 Ma
chines and 10,000 Fighters
to Put Out German Eyes
NEW YORK, June 12.—The great al
lied victory at Messines ridge, largely
made possible by the blinding of the
German by allied fliers, proves conclu
sively that America’s immediate and ,
. biggest task is to get 100,000 planes i
and 10,000 fighters to Europe to help
put Germany’s fighting eyes out. In the
1 opinion of Henry Woodhouse of the
Aero club of America here today.
“By speeding up," said Mr. Wood
house today, "we can do this In twelve
months, end tfie war on a military basis
long before it could otherwise be ended,
and save ’thousands of lives and Mil
lions of dollars.”
Mr. Woodhouse is the man whose
prediction of six months ago that the
war would be won or lost in the air
seems to be coming true.
“The element of time is the most im
portant," he continued. “W e wait off
nothing but a half billion dollar appro
priation from congress.
“The council of national defence Is
organized to proceed quickly through
the Aircraft Production board.
"To make fewer than 100,000 planes
and train fewer than 10,000 men may
lead to fearful consequences on the
front.
NEED A BILLION.
’ “We must have five hundred million
dollars to start, at once. The actual
sum needed is cne billion dollars.
"Training camp sites have been
chosen, the aeronautical manufacturing
facilities are mobilized and we have
placed in their hands complete plans for
the latest uniform types of allied bat
tle planes and other needed war ma
chines.
"If we hurry—and congress must
give us quick help in this, —we can do
In twelve months what it tßok the Brit
ish two years to accomplish.
"There will be no trouble getting the
men. They are at hand, waiting only
on congress.
"We must strike Germany through
the air, quick.
"That the Teuton is vulnerable there
is now proved by dispatches stating
that the Germans’ planes have been col
lapsing in mid-air whenever any part
was hit by the allied guns.
"In the past that happened only when
the most vital parts of the areoplane,
such as the bracing wires, were hit.
"What we need most to supply the
allies is 25,000 fast battle planes. They
will fight the enemy off the skies.
That done, the slow bomb-dropping
machines and artillery planes, which
are the eyes of the big guns, and the
infantry machines, which carry machine
guns and fly in advance of the infan
try, swooping low and turning their
guns on the man in enemy trenches, cart
do their work unmolested.
NUMBER, NOT SPEED.
"After the 25,000 battle planes, oura
is a question of number rather than
speed.
"There will be no trouble In getting
25,000 men from which to select 10.- I
000 first-class fighting filers. Thou
sands of young men are begging to get
Into it.
“Men. between 18 and 25 make the
best air fighters. Many, however, hava
made good beginning at the age of 25.
And others at the age of fifty.
“There are few fliers over 30, but
that doesn’t mean that older men do
not make good fliers. The 20 per cent
of applicants needed to do air fighting
usually is selected from the youngest,
though there is nothing the matter with
the older ones.
"Flying men must be Intelligent, j
qllck witted, honorable above reproach,
not too heavy, not over 170 at most, |
resourceful and cautious enough to
take the greatest advantage possible of ,
every situation with safety to their
lives and equipment.”

SHBRTAGE OF SHIPS
IS BIGGEST SINGLE
PROW OF WAR
Lack of Transports for Men
and Food May Cripple Dis
patching of Large Bodies
of Troops
WASHINGTON. June 12.—Shortage
of ships for military transport service
constitutes the biggest single problem
before Aemrica’s war chiefs today
That the dispatch of the bulk of the
new army may rave to be delayed by
reason of this lack of transports is
admitted by men In charge.
there are sufficient ships to carry vast
numbers of soldiers, but this is only
a small part of the problem, inasmuch
as these men must be constantly sup
plied with food, clothing, artillery and
other equipment.
This in itself is a tremendous task.
The army will require its own weight
in food every thirty-nine days, while
all artillery must be replaced about
every thirty days. Other supplies must
be kept going in a constant stream.
In addition to these needs, there i*
a vital commerce of supply to the al
lies which must be maintained at all
hazards.
Hence with these two needs —com-
mercial and military—government heads
are sorely per»lexed about meeting
the problem. X
Next year will see a new flotilla of
cargo carriers, but the big needs will
come in the next few months.
Despite the dark background to me
situation, authorities are not wholly
dismayed. The shipping board is doing
its utmost, and hopes to increase its
output even above estimates.
Lord Northcliffe, coming here as an
unofficial representative of Great Brit
ain, is counted on to make some vital
suggestions in the line of obtaining
enough shipping for all needs. He is
opposed to any attempt at sending
abroad so large an army that It can
not be victualled and otherwise sup
plied.
As army plans now stand, they con
template dispatch of units abroad more
or less constantly and in comparatively
small numbers.
Soldiers already partly trained will
get the finishing touches in France. The
,’act of sending these skilled men ahead
will necessarily delay somewhat the
dispatch of the new army, for absence
of training forces will delay the mould
ing of the new army.
The war department Indulges In no
figures or date*, inasmuch as such in
formation is of value to the enemy, but
in general it can be said that the idea
of sending no troops across for a yeas
has been modified, and that the Persh
ing B expedition will l?e augmented by
other forces before the expiration of a
year.
By the end of a year, the transport
situation will be clarified, it is felt,
whether or not the submarine menace
has been solved. Navy men, working
on anti-submarine devices, however, be
lieve they will get the "answer” to the
submarine ere long, and that this will
simplify shipping problems entirely.

MEN HIGHER HP ARE
SOUGHT IN KEEI OUSE
Officers Are Reticent About
New Clues—Mother in
Serious Condition
SPRINGFIELD. Mo., June 12.—The
men “higher up” in the Keel kidnapping
mystery, mentioned in the confessions
of Claude Piersol and Taylor
were still being sought by the authori
ties today. Several new clues were said
to have been developed but the officers
were reticent regarding their nature.
Two federal agents also were investi
gating the "German plot” angle of the
kidnapping which resulted in the tragic
death of fourteen-months-old Lloyd
Keet. It has been suggested that the
ransom demanded was to be devoted to
furthering German plots in this country.
The federal authorities, however, re
fuse to say whether anything has been
discovered to support this theory.
Mrs. Keet, who has been under con
stant care of a physician since her col
lapse at the funeral yesterday, was still
in a serious condition today. •
None of the alleged abductor* are In
the local jail. Piersol and Claud Adams
are in the Jackson county jail at Kan

son and Sam McGinnie have been hid

they will give no details. The man,
department officials are seeking now is
Dick Carter, who is charged in a war
rant at Spring-field with the murder of
Little Lloyd Keet. From Carter they
expect to get evidence which will lead
to the arrest of the men higher up
These men are believed to be in the em
ploy of the German government and
their connection with the Keet kidnap
ing was only a sideline. The hunt for
the Keet abductors has been transferred
from Springfield to Kansas City. Judge
Arch Johnson of the Green county crim
inal court is here directing it. Other
activities planned by the suspects are
said to have included kidnaping of a
St Louis munitions manufacturer.
A number of additional arrests, kept
secret by federal authorities because of
their latent possibilities, are said to
have been made last night and today.
Miss Eilleen Piersol, sister of Claude
Piersol. who narrowly escaped death at
the hands of the vigilantes, is being
hunted.

Too ID to Walk Upright Operation
Advised. Saved by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
This woman now raises chickens and.
does manual labor. Read her story:
Richmond. Ind.—“For two years I
was so sick and weak with troubles |
from my age that
Hsfrhen going up
stairs I had to go
very slowly with
my hands on the
steps, then sit down
at the top to rest. 1
The doctor said he
thought I should
have an operation,
and my friends
thought I would not
live to move into
our new house. My
daughter asked ma
to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound as she had taken it with
results. I did so, my weakness dis- •
appeared, I gained, in strength, moved
into our new home, did all kinds of '
garden work, shoveled dirt, did build
ing and cement work, and raised hun-■
dreds of chickens and ducks. I .can
not say enough in praise of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
if these facts are useful you may pub
lish them for the benefit of other
women.’’—Mrs. M. O. JOHNSTON,Route
D, Box 190, Richmond, lad.
