RAINS TOO LATE
Recent Showers Failed to Re-
vive Corn in Kansas.
In a Few Counties 1t Is Re-
ported as Total Failure.

The rains in Kansas came too late
to revive the corn, according TO the
weekly weather and crop conditions
report for the week ended August Is.
issued today by s. D. Flora, meteor
ologist for the section center of the
weather bureau in Topeka.
The report in FULL covering all
crops. follows:
The severe drouth was checked over
most of Kansas this week by general
showers amounting to more than an
inch over strip extending from the
Kaw valley thru the center Of the
state to the Colorado line and cover
ing about a third of the states area,
Amounts in other counties ranged
from half to three-Quarters of an inch,
except along the Oklahoma line.
where most of the counties are still
very dry. Temperatures were not so
extremely high as during the previous
week. tho they reached 100 degrees
and higher on several days in nearly
all parts. ~ a
Corn Seriously Damaged.
Corn has fired badly and its tassels
have been burned white in most
places. The rains failed to revive it
to any considerable extent. except in
few western counties, and it is be-
coming evident that the damage to the
crop has been very serious and that d
great deal of it has passed the point
where it can possibly be revived by
moisture. In the extreme southeast
ern counties and a few in the Repub-
lican valley in the north central por-
ton 1t is reported to be practically q
total failure. while the damage IN
! many others Is given as soto Is per
cent. However, there is much of it in
how lands that is still green and will
weather from now on. A few of the
southwestern counties that have been
favored with good rains il. the past
three weeks report corn as practically
unhurt and in the way of making a
good crop. In a few places here and
there over the state fields are being
cut and some put in silos, but its value
for feed is not great this early in the
season.
Grain sorghums as a rule are un-
hurt, but their growth has been re-
tarded to such an extent in many
places 1t is feared they, may not ma
ture before frost ours. Broom corn
will be, ready by September in the

Pastures have been burned bare in

farmers are hauling it for miles.

Gardens, except where irrigated, are
ruined. Apples in all parts have fallen

Artillerymen Now
Guarding u. S. Coasts
Will Join Pershing
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, March 18.-National
Guard coast artillerymen, who have
been manning the coast defences of the
nation practically alone since the first
expeditionary force went overseas, are
soon to see active service in France.
The War Department is now organizing
additional units of heavy artillery for
dispatch to General Pershing's forces,
and at least 80 per cent of the organi
zations will be picked from the coast
defence forces.
The new force will be used to serve
the heavier forms of mobile ordnance
destined for employment. with che
American field armies yet to be organ
lied in France, such as types mounted
on railroad cars and those transported
by motor drawn vehicles, as distin-
guished from the lighter forms, which
are served by the field artillery per-
sonnel.
The present coast artillery forces
will be replaced by recruits who re-
Gently enlisted in the regular army, and
perhaps some Of the draft army will be
utilized if the need arises. The de-
partment is now working out an ex-
tensive plan for defending the coasts
of the nation with men whose services
1 in France a1L deemed not as essential
az experienced artillerymen.

Observers Here
Doubt Germany
Plans Offensive
Believe Massing of Men in
West Is Defensive
Measure

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-American
military observers have reached the
conclusion that Germanys constant
massing of men on the Western front
is for defence, and that the long herald
cd Teutonic offensive never will ma
terialize unless it develops as de-
fensivc measure against the growing
pressure of the Allied and American
lines.
This view, held for weeks by some Of
fcers, is expressed officially to-day in
the War Departments weekly review Of
operations at the battle fronts. Fresh
German divisions are reported arriving
in the West, the review says, and the
density Of the enemy forces has nearly
reached the point whore the congestion
of the lines Of communication may
interfere with Hcxibility of manmuvro.
The review records the first unas
sisted American assault upon the Ger
mans, the trench raid at dawn on
March II, when the enemy was driven
out and his position penetrated for a
distance of 800 yards. The Americans
now are in the trenches along the
Allied line at five different points and
are reported constantly active.
Referring to Secretary Bakers ar
rival in France, the review says he has
had interviews with the principal
French authorities, and is about to un-
dertake careful inspection of Ameri-
can schools, training areas, rest camps
and sectors at the front.
"While hostile preparations for an
offensive in the West are not slacken-
ing the review says, "it is becoming
more evident that the enemy will
launch the offensive only if compelled
to do SO by the exigcncies of the gen
eral strategic situation"

Seek to Force
French Decision
On Air Reprisals
Socialists Propose Recipro-
cal Raid Agreement
With Enemy

PARIS, March 16.--An important de-
bate appears to be in prospect in the
Chamber Of Deputies on the subject
Of reprisals for aerial attacks on PARIS.
Recently there has been a revival of
the discussion concerning the posi-
bility of an agreement on the part of
the belligerents to cease reprisals of
all kinds, particularly air raids over
open towns outside the fighting zone.
This discussion originated in the re-
port that the Central Powers had made
a%proposal to this effect through nou-
trails, at the same time agreeing to
give up the use OF gas and liquid fire
at the front. Since that time the Ger
man have intensified their air raids, in
stead OF taking a step in the oppo-
site direction.
In France there always has been a
strong element hostile to lombard
ment of any but purely military OBJ
jectivos. This element, though dimin-
ished in size, is still active and is GER
tain to bring on a debate if it should
apear that the government had de-
oided to make reprisals.
Premier Clemenceau has been quoted
.variously on the subject, but generally
is understood not to be in favor OF
reprisals in the way of attacks on
women and children in undefcnded
towns He is believed to favor air
raids made as far as possible within
the German frontier, but strictly upon
establishments Of military value.

Red Cross Is Ready to
Fight Trench Fever
Results Of Experiments on
Americans Furnishes Basis
for War on New Malady

PARIS, March II. - In announcing
that it has been definitely determined
that the disease called trench fever IS
transmitted by lice, the American ked
Cross Research Committee sets forth
other facts regarding the disease re-
vealed by the experiments in when
sixty eight Americans, all soldiers from
the New England States, voluntarily
were inoculatcd.
The disease is hitherto unknown
form of fever; it is transmitted through
the bites Of body lice to human beings;
the injecting agent is in the blood
occurring most abundantly in the first
forty-eight hours after infection; the
injecting agent is held back in bacterial
filters; the disease, although called
trench fever, may be transmitted by
lice brought from countries where no
trenches ever existed, as subjects bit
ten by lice hatched from eggs brought
from England developed the same symp-
toms as those bitten by lice from the
trenches.
The fever has been responsible TO,
great loss of man power at the front
and the discovery of its cause is re
gardcd as Of incalculable value to al
the Allied armies, as preventive meas
urcs may now be applied.
The volunteers infected with the dis
ease suffered, as do all who have the
trench fever, but not 2 single on(
among them complainedF
