Ten or Twelve Bombing
Squadrons Participate
In Raid On Capital
ARE MET BY 81
FRENCH PLANES
Despite Large Number Of
Raiders, Damage Done
Was Slight
CBy Associated Prsss.)

Paris, Saturday, March 9.-Ten OF
twelve squadrons Of bombing air
planes participated. in the German
raid on Paris last night according to
omcial information. The casualties
were nine killed and thirty-nine per-
sons wounded.
One Of the raiding machines was
destroyed. An official statement says
the airplane Of the Gotha type was
found in the forest OF Compiegne,
where it had fallen while returning
from the raid Its crew Of four
burned to death.
An ofaciaI account Of the raid says
that the alarm was sounded at 8:37
O'Clock Friday evening and was
preceded by cannonading. French
artillery opened fire at S:54 o'clock
producing a violent curtain Of fire.
Sixty-ons defensive airplanes
took the air. A large number OF en-
emy machines was repulsed by the
aerial defense and did not succeed in
reaching Paris. These machines were
forced TO drop bombs in considerable
numbers In open fields and in the
suburbs.
Although the raiders came in larg-
er numbers than on any preceding
raid, the bombs dropped in the in
habited districts were far less num-
erous and they did very little or no
damage.
While the raid on Paris was in
progress French aviators near the
front, who kept in constant com
with the capital, took the
air and bombarded the airdrome
from which the enemy machines
arose.
New arrangements for sheltering
the people and other precautions
worked well and the authorities are
generally satisfied that the effects Of
the raid were reduced to the lowest
degree possible.
The American Red Cross modified
los men at the first warning and ten
ears sped or to points where bombs
had fallen
A number Of army ambulances from
Nieuily also were out and Y. NJ G.
A. workers aided in the rescue work.
The night was clear. but dark, and
~ the general impression is that the
Germans reserve their raiding efforts
for moonlight nights, the raid was a
surprise. .-.-

SUMMARY OF WAR

Secretary of War Baker, the first
American cabinet officer TO visit Eu-
rope in an official capacity since the
United States entered the war, il
now in France for conferences with
General Pershing and an inspection
OF the American troops and the posi-
tions they occupy on the front be-
tween Scissors and AIsace. The sec

and has no diplomatic significance.

German submarines and arrived yes
terdRy at q French seaport, whence
he departed for Paris. After . few
days in the French capital, where he
probably will meet President Poin-
care and Premier CIemenceau, the
secretary will visit the American
troops in the field.
Increased activity especially in the
artillery on the western front has
not yet resulted in any determined
attack by either Of the opposing
forces. The Germans are more ac-
tive on the British and Belaian
fronts than elsewhere. Near Kipps,
IN Flanders, the BeIaians have driven
the enemy from parts Of the trenches

Recent German attacks on the
British lines in the Ypres area were
checked through British knowledge
OF enemy planes gained from desert
ers and prisoners. The enemy in
tended 70 take important positions
south Of Houthoist forest but heavy
British fire prevented a major effort
and the strong British defense threw
back the local attacks the Germans
carried out.
On the American sector northwest
OF Toui the artillery and aerial activ-
ity has increased. American uunners
have shsllsd effectively various en-
smy targets opposite the American
trenches. The German reply was
without result. German afrplanes
have attacked American trenches

London, March 1.-THE newest

in the form of sudden broadside OF
denunciation Of the Scandinavian

that they are directed by one mind
which mind apparently is the Ger

The articles accuse the Scandtna-

expect no consideration from Ger
