 During the night strong hostile attacks in the neighborhood of Jussy (south of St. Quentin) were repulsed with great loss to the enemy.
 "On the northern portion of the battle front the enemy's attacks have been pressed with the utmost deter imitation and regardless of losses. Our troops have maintained their po- sitions on the greater part of this front after a fierce and proionged struggle"

WARNING TO PRO-GERMANS

Duluth, Minn-Receipt by two Du- luth men of alleged pro-German sym pathies of warning that if you say one more word against this country or her allies' they are marked men today disclosed the existence of an organi- zation called the Knights of Liberty, said to be a branch of a nationwide society whose purpose 1t is to stamp out pro-Germanism.
 The warning received here follows: ''To the Traitor (name and address
 inserted here):
 You have reached the end of the road. If you say one more word, even in a whisper, or lift one finger against this country or her allies, you are a marked man. If the law cannot reach you, we can and will.

UNITED PRESS SAYS IT WAS MERELY AIR BoM8ARDMENT-
 SHELLS FALL REGULARLY.
10 KILLED AND IS HURT
Pieces of Shells on Examination Were Found to Bear Rifle Marks, Which Proved They Had Been Fired
 From Gun, Not Dropped.

Paris.-Germans have been firing on Paris with long range guns.
 Since s o'clock shells of 240 milli meters have been reaching the cap ital and suburbs at intervals of 8 quarter of an hour, killing about 10 persons and wounding about fifteen The shortest distance from Paris to the front is 100 kilometers (62 miles)
 The announcement that Paris was being bombarded was made officially Saturday afternoon.
 Measures for counter attacking the enemy's cannon are under execution.
 The first daylight air raid on Paris came today, which was one of perfect sunshine. The people of Paris refused to immure themselves in cellars and other subterranean shelters, and, al though the subway stations were crowded, the streets always had a great number of people in them, watching for an aerial battle or some other stirring incident.
 As the day passed and the all clear signal was given, the feeling grew that something new in the way of a raid was expected, and this was not explained until an official statement was issued, saying that the delay was due to the bombardment by long dis. tance cannon.
 The "all clear" was then sounded, and the normal life was resumed. The cable office reopened to take up accumulated piles of dispatches. Pieces of the shells, on examination, were found to bear rife marks, which proved they had not been dropped, but had been fired from gun. This apparently left greatest mystery than ever as to where the gun in question was located, the nature of it and by what method it was being operated.
 Another thing which turned the thought of the officials at the munic- ipal laboratory to the possibility that a cannon was being used was the reg. ularity with which the bombs fell, one every 20 minutes.
 The caliber of the shells reaching Paris, 240 millimeters, is equivalent to about nine and one-half inches. The heavy German siege pieces fire 17-inch shells.
 The United Press carries a story diserediting the report that Parts has been bombarded by long range gun. Its cable related that the city merely was subjected to raid by German airplanes.

SECRETARY BAKER
 HAS CLOSE CALL
GERMAN SHELL BURSTS WITHIN FIFTY YARDS OF HIS
 MOTOR CAR.

With the American Army in France. Secretary Baker had his baptism of fire in the front line trenches, and while he was returning a German shell burst within less than 50 yards of his motor car. He was not injured.
 The secretary went into the trenches in a sector where American troops face the enemy nearby. For half an hour he plodded over the duckbOards. The Germans maintain ed an active fire with heavy pieces and machine guns. Nevertheless Mr. Baker made his way to an advanced sap, entered a listening post and talk ed for several minutes with the sol dier on duty there.
 But the narrowest shave was on his return to headquarters. The German shell, of 105 millimeters, roared down and burst cleanly less than 50 yards from the automobile containing the secretary of war and the escorting of ficers. The shell hit a roadside dug out, digging a big crater MT. Baker wished to stop and ascertain whether there were men in the dugout, but the chauffeur, realizing the danger, open ed the throttle and made his best speed until the danger zone was passed.
 Secretary Baker continued his in spection in the zone of advance in a cold rain, over heavy roads and under generally uncomfortable conditions. The programme included visits to cer- tain divisional headquarters that had not previously been inspected and conferences with various high officials
 In an informal address to the Rain bow Division" officially known as the Forty-second Division, the secretary took occasion to explain to the army. as well as to the people of America, the reasons for the military secrecy which depriyes the soldiers and the population at home of news of each other during the present stage of the preparations.
