FIRE FACTORY WITH BOMBS;
FRENCH AIRMEN ON A RAID
Paris Reports Destruction of German
Explosive Plant at Ludwig
shafen Thursday.
Shafen Thursday.

Paris reports officially: t'The aero
planes which bombarded Ludwig
shafen numbered eighteen. They
took the air a. three a. m. Thursday.
The works of the Badische Anilin
and Soda-Fabrik Company, the larg-
est explosive factory in Germany, oc-
cupy an entire quarter of Ludwig
shafen, near Mannheim, and an i'm
portant annex has been established
near Oppau, mile and a half from
Ludwigshafen.
THE aeroplanes threw forty-seyen
four-inch bombs and two six-inch
bombs on the main establishment,
and thirty-six four-inch bombs on OPP
pau. All the bombs reached the
mark
Coward siX-ffteen three enormous
columns Of yellow flames could be
seen at .Ludwigshafen, and at six
thirty the aviators saw Ludwigshafen
and Oppau. covered covered by vast
volumes of smoke.
1.-The aeroplanes were fired on, but
all returned except one. According
to the Lilots the latter machine was
obliged to land at Ludwigshafen and
was seen to be in flames as soon as
it landed. They believe that the
landing, which was caused no doubt
by the enemy's fire, was affected nor
nlaliy. and that the pilots burned the
machine to prevent it from falling
into the hands of thu Germans.
This expedition, which shows to
what degree Of skill and daring our
aviators hav. attained, constitutes
the finest aerial exploit yet accom-
plished during the war"

Rain and Alfalfa.

This has thus far been bad year for
harvesting alfalfa. The value of the
first cutting has probably been badly
deteriorated by the almost continuous
wet weather-but there are two more
cuttings to follow, and the crop as a
whole will be worth double that of any
other that could have occupied the land.
Wisconsin is going to be great al
falfa state and from year to year it is
going to be profitable crop-so profit
able that the farmers cannot refrain
from growing it.
