DROP BOMBS ON REIMS
CATHEDRAL HIT BY MISSILE
FROM A!R-TWo WOUNDED.
Artillery Fire Drives Germans From
Position Near st. Mihiei, Accord
ing to Report From Paris.
BY FRANKLIN p. MERRicK.

International News Service Correspondent
Paris. March SHERMAN troops
have been forced to evacuate the viii
lage of Heudicourt, northeast of St.
Mihiel, it was announced in the off,
cial communique from the war office.
The German evacuation was caused by
heavy artillery fire centered upon
Heudicourt by the French troops who
are attempting to force bach the Ger
man wedge which for several months
has extended as far as st. MihIel.
Heudicourt is only II miles from Metz,
the great German stronghold.
The communique also reports that a
German aviator threw bombs upon
Reims Monday, wOunding two persons.
One of the proiectiles fell on the apse
of the cathedral The text of the com
munique follows:
The day was calm on practically all
the front.
"A German aviator threw bombs
upon Reims. Two persons were
wounded One projectile fell on the
apse of the cathedral.
"A well directed fire from OUR artil-
lery forced the enemy to evacuate in
disorder the village of Heudicourt,
northeast of st. Mihiel."

THOUSANDS STARVING
PEOPLE IN MEXICO CITY ARE
WITHOUT FOOD.
State Department Unable to Get Co.
Operative Action Between Factions
- Supplies Five Miles Away.

Washington, March 3l.-Thousands
of persons are on the verge of starva-
ton in Mexico City, while at Toluca,
only five miles distant there are tons
of food, unavailable because the state
department cannot get cooperative ac-
ton between the factions in the city
and out of it.
The Brazilian minister at Mexico
City telegraphed the state department
that the international committee had
purchased 100000 pesos worth Of food
stored at Toluca, and that the hunger
conditions remained the same in the
capital
Officials of the department say that
the deplorable condition is clearly due
to the failure of negotiations under
taken by the state department with
Carranza and Minister Palafox of
Zapatas cabinet. The last statements
from the department were that these
officials would agree to let food get
in. The report from the Brazilian
minister shows that the negotiations
have collapsed, or at best have never
gone farther than suggestions
The belief at the department is that
General Obregon, VIXEN he evacuated
Mexico City, carried away with him
all the locomotives and cars and has
not been willing to send any of them
back to Mexico City.
Advices to the Villa agency here are
that General Villa will begin another
attack at Matamoros today. The state
department dispatches say that Villa
is only waiting for artillery.
Villa has gone southwark toward
Torreon to reorganize the force that
will be sent against Tampico and Vera
Cruz after the fall of Matamoros.
The war department is watching the
situation at Brownsville. One battery
of artillery has been stationed there
for some time, but this probably has
now been REINFORCED by three other
batteries ordered there from Fort Sam
Houston.
The action of General Funston at
Brownsville will be directed by the
state department 1t was stated that
his recent orders were o. KID by the
state department, and that he has
been specifically ordered not to fire
under any circumstances unless he is
instructed from Washington
State department dispatches state
that one of Villas armies is about to
attack Nuevo Laredo.
A dispatch from Vera Cruz tells of
the footing of sugar plantation at
FL Potrero, 60 miles from that city.
The manager has appealed to Car
rama for protection.

A SECOND LINER
FALLS A VICTIM
ELLERMAN LINER FLEMINIAN
ToRPEDoED THIS MORNING.
CREW LANDED BY DUTCH SHIP
The Fieminian Was Attacked 1870
Miles South of Spot Where the
Falaba Was Sunk Sunday and
Probably by Same Submarine.

London, March 31.-A second Brit.
.ish liner has fallen victim to German
submarine attack.
The Ellerman liner Fleminian,
from Glasgow to Capetown, was tor.
pedoed fifty miles southwest of the
Scilly Islands at three o'clock Mon
day morning. Her crew of Al are
safe and were landed at Holyhead this
morning by Danish steamer.
The Fleminian was a 3500-ton liner
owned by the Ellerman Co., whose
ships ply mostly between English and
Mediterranean ports. She was built
In 1914 and was 1923 feet in length.
Shipping records indicate that she
was a slow vessel with speed less than
IL knots an hour, making her an easy
prey for the speedy submarine.
The Scilly Islands are off the ex-
IRENE southwest point of England.
The Fleminian had accommodations
for large number of passengers but
on her voyage out of Glasgow she car.
ried only her cargo and crew. The
Fleminian carried no wireless and the
first news of the torpedoing was re-
ceived here when the crew was land.
ed .....
The Ellerman liner was attacked
1870 miles south of the spot where the
Elder liner Falaba was torpedoed with
heavy loss Of life Sunday and it is
considered probable that the subma-
rine which sent the Falaba to the bot.
tom was returning to her base through
the English channel, encountered the
Fleminian and shot a torpedo against
her.
Crown Of CASTLE Torpedoed.
London, March 31.-The 4,50O-ton
steamer Crown of CASTLE, of Glasgow,
was torpedoed off the Sicily Islands
near the spot where the Fleminian
went down, according to- dispatches
this afternoon. The admiralty at d
late hour had no confirmation but the
steamers agents said the report was
probably true a.. ~.-. w
The steamer South Atlantic, bound
from Glasgow for New York. collided
with an unknown vessel off AKRON
last night and sank, according to a
dispatch today. The crew was saved.
There were rumors on the street that
the South Atlantic had been torpe-
doed.

Paris, March 31--The French min
istry of marines announced today that
