I
Craft Now Being Constructed by
Entente Allies.

LONDON, June 25.— Preparations
are under way here, in Washington,
i Paris and Petrograd, to launch the
i mightiest air offensive ever known,
j The Le Matin, one of the most influ
ential papers in the French capital,
in commenting upon this fact today
says that Commandant Degivreux has
stated that in launching this step
America has shown that she is keenly
alive to the necessities of the war as
now fought. America's immense aer
ial army of 30,000 airplanes contem
plated will swing the scales of vic
tory in the allies’ favor, and will give
them complete mastery of the air
in the spring of 1917*18. With this
immense cloud of machines no ene
my craft will be able to rise from the
ground without being overwhelmed.
The heavy artillery of the enemy will
he blinded by the bombs of the air
planes which will spread devastation
and death behind Von Hindenburg’s
lines. The Matin is very optimistic as
to the outcome of the war and gives
the United States the higehst praise
for her assistance at this most criti
cal time.
