DETAILS OF AIR RAID
 ON PARIS FRIDAY NIGHT
Bombs Were Dropped on Three Differ
 ent Suburban Sections.

Paris, July 29.-The censor today permits the publication of scanty de- tails of an air raid made on Paris Friday night. which The Associated Press was not allowed to send yester- day and which the French newspapers were not permitted to publish Ac- cording to this information bombs were dropped on three different subur- ban sections. In the first the bonn bardment caused absolutely TO dam age: in the other two localities five or six bombs were dropped. causing the slight injury of two women. One of the women was struck while in bed and was removed to a hospital; the other was injured by flying glass. One bomb of several that fell in a field is believed to have contained asphyxiat- inr gas
 The attempted raid on Paris Satur- day night was even more unsuccess- full than that on Friday, for the Ger man aviators were not able to req ch Paris at all. Their coming was a1- ticipated and French protecting air planes circ1ed above and around Par is from early evening.
 The residents. however did not look for renewal of the fruitless attack of the previous night and most of them had retired when the sirens gave the warning. Crowds rushed to the streets. roofs ard windows. instead of seek ing shelter. but they saw nothing. Less than an hour after the first warn ing reassuring bugies announced that the enemy aviators had been turned back

TROOP MOVEMENTS TO
 BE WITHOUT PUBLICITY
But Disasters Will Not Be Hidden Be-
 hind the Veil of Censorship.

Washington July 29.-The move ment of American troops to France will be carried on absolutely without publicity if the present policy of the war department remains unaltered.
 Secretary Baker and some of his military advisors believe that no word should he published of the arrival of troops broad. and it is probable that this will be made clear to all newSpa- pers and press associations in forth coming regulations under the volun- tary censorship to which the press of the country has subjected itself.
 Assurances have been given. both by navy and army officials. that dis asters will not be hidden under the veil of this censorship. and presuma bly, under the new regulations also the American people will be expected to understand that no news is good news in this respect.
 No official explanation has been made for the reason underlying the decision to withhold from publication announcement of the arrival of troops. It is understood. however. that Secre- tary Baker believes that with the large troop movement in prospect as the new army or the national guard is made ready for the front, it would be unwise to call the attention of the German au- thorities to what is going On.

TWO POINTS IN DISPUTE
 IN FOOD CONTROL BILL
Conferees Have Decided to Confer
 With President Wilson Today.

Washington, July 29.-Conferees on the administration food control bill reached an impasse tonight after an all-day conference and leaders Ge- cided to confer tomorrow with Pres ident Wilson on the two points re- maining in dispute. the senate pro- posals to establish a congressional committee to supervise war expendi- lures and to create a board of three food administrators instead of one
 Upon all other questions the con ference committee reached a complete agreement. Final enactment of the bill this week is hoped for by the conferees but not regarded as certain. : Representative Lever, hesding the house conferees, and Senator Cham berlain, who handled the bill in the senate for the administration. will take up with President Wilson tomor- row the two remaining differences. The conferees will meet again after the White House conferences. Sever al of them are doubtful of the out come, however, believing partial disagreement. will result in submis- sion of disputed questions to both legislative branches for another vote.
 The president has decared the war committee would be embarra assing and would indicate lack of confidence in his conduct of the war. Should he in sist upon elimination of the proposal. as expected, it appears probable that the senate conferees would yield the point tomorrow, leaving a disagree ment only on the food board question.
