Heath Springs, March 14.-Great
interest was manifested in meet
ing held here Monday night, which
was one of series being held over
the county in the interest OF growing
and saving food. The meeting was
held in the Baptist church, which

viously announced that the speaker

stationed at Camp Greene, Charlotte
n. G. Sergeant DeVaney volunteer
ed in the British army at the out
break of the war and served two
years fighting in the trenches and
related here some of his thrilling eX-
periences while there. He gave the
audience vivid descriptions of some
of the battles in which he had par
ticipated, telling of some of the
hardships and conditions under
which they had to fight at the be-
ginning of the war and dwelling es-
pecially on the brutal, inhuman and
treacherous character of the enemy
He also described the food situation
in many sections of the allied coun-
tries, showing the absolute necessity
OF our making and sending food &c
supply them as well as our own sol
diers.
Il. w. Graeber, county agricultur-
al agent, and Miss Craig of the home

ent and made short talks. Mr.. Grae-

Miss Craig in an earnest and pa
triotic manner, urged the women anC
boys and girls to give special atten
tion to gardening and poultry rails
ing, not only enough for immediat,
needs, but to raise vegetables fo
winter use.
This meeting probably has don,
more to bring out the spirit of pa
triotism in the people Of this section
and to enlist their hearty co-opera
tion in the work of food production
and conservation than any that ha

THIRTY-FOUR PERSONS
KILLED IN PARIS RAID
Secretary Baker and General Bliss

Refuge in Wine Cellar.

Paris. March 14.--Thirty-four per-
sons were killed and 70 others were
injured in Paris and it's suburbs as a
result of Monday nights air raid.
result of Monday nights German air
raid.
In addition to the bomb victims,
sc persons were suffocated through
crowding a panic into a metropoli-
tan railway entrance to take refuge
from the raiders. These were for
the most part women and children.
OF the bomb victims 30 were kill
ed and 5S injured in Paris and five
killed and 20 injured in the su
burbs.
The raiding Gotha brought down
in flames fell on a spot three miles
from Chateau Thierry. A German
captain who was on board and was
taken prisoner, with the crew, be-
longs to the third squadron of the
German seventh army.
The fog which had covered tn,
city Monday morning settled down
again in the early evening. 1t was
thick enough to cause the general
belief that there was little chance
that the Germans would attempt an
air raid. This belief. however, was
shattered at $40 o'clock, when the
warning was sounded of the approach
OF hostile aircraft. The raid ended
shortly after midnight.
The official report of the raid
says:
According to the first news, near
" 60 enemy airplanes succeeded in
crossing our lines. Thanks to the
curtain fire which our artillery main
tanned throughout the raid with
great intensity, a certain number OF
the machines failed to reach their
detectives. Nevertheless, numerous
bombs were dropped on Paris and its
suburbs. Several buildings were de-
molished and took fire."

Will Call for 100000 Men to Be
Modified Gradually During
Present Year
$4,000 IN FIVE DAYS.
Only $4,000 of These, However
Will Come from New Draft,
Balance from First Draft No
Yet in Service.

Washington, March 14.-Eight
hundred thousand men are to be
called to the colors gradually during
the present year under the second
army draft, which begins March 20.
An announcement by Provist Mar
shal General Crowder, of the num-
ber to be called was followed closely
by an order for the mobilization Of
$4,000 men during the fve-day pc
riod beginning March 30, some IS.
600 OF them to be assembled under
the second draft. Eighty thousand
VIII be men of the first draft of 6S7,-
600 not yet summoned into service.
Details of how the second draft is
to be applied will be made public la
ter, after congress has acted upon
proposed legislation providing for
the registration OF youths attaining
the age of 21 years and for basing
state district quotas on the number
or registrants in class one. In his
first official statement on the subject
however, General Crowder assures
the country that no sweeping with
drawal of large numbers of men at
home is contemplated. and that care
will be taken to avoid interference
with harvesting.
The $4,000 men now called, it is
understood, are needed at once, to
NIL up divisions and other units
scheduled for early departure or to
take the place of men transferred
from other divisions to make up such
deficiencies. Newly organized regu-
lar divisions are particularly short of
men and heavy drafts on national
army divisions to make these good
have been necessary, seriously inter-
fering with the training work of the
national army division drawn upon.
The call for new men make IL prob
able that no further transfers will
be necessary.
The 100000 men to be summoned
this year represent the number nee
essary to fill up the existing divis-
ions. to create all the army corps and
held army troops to fill out the war
machine for which the framework
exists. and TO provide a quarter of a
million replacement troops When
they have been mobilized, which will
not be completed before the first of
next year. there will be more than
forty full infantry divisions OF 81.
TOO men each. and all the additional
units necessary. No additional di-
visions OF the national army or ma
tional guard will be created this year.
although the program for the regu.
lar army, now composed of eight in
fantry and one cavalry division, may
be enlarged.
The first purpose OF the war de-
partment is to complete the first field
army in France. Probably this will
be composed OF five army corps of six
infantry divisions each 1t has been
estimated that with that force and its
necessary auxiliaries at his disposal
General Pershing would be able to-
hold 100-mile front, relieving the
strain upon the French man power
during 1918, to that extent. What
that would mean to France may be
judged from published statements OF
French officials that on January l.
1918, the Belgian army held about
10 miles Of the western front. the
British forces about los miles and
