Secretary Baker, when he first went be

The youngest son Of the chairman
OF the Democratic State Committee in
Ohio has been holding down job with
the Federal Trade Commission at Wash
ington. There is nothing strange
about that. He is quitting that job to
take better one as attachee at the
American Embassy in Paris. There is
nothing strange about this. The
Washington newspapers, announcing
the good luck which has befallen
Andy, as they afectionately term
the young man, say that he is OF the
same stripe as his energetic father.
There is nothing strange about this,
either. 1t would be far more remark
able il young man who was not son
of a Democratic State Chairman or
otherwise qualified to be classed as a
deserving Democrat, should receive a
profitable transfer in jobs in the course
OF the non partisan conduct OF the war.
The fuel administrator for the state
of New York warns his constituents
that every indication points to the
fact that the coal stringency will be

President Wilson is doggedly deter
mined to retain the inefficient Garfield
in office and that the foolish policy is
to be continued of fixing coal prices
at figure where the small mine owners
cannot operate their property. The
greater part Of all our troubles about
fuel and food spring from the attempt
to regulate prices in defiance Of
economic law and Impractical conditions,

Camp Kearney, San Diego, Calf,
June 21.-Several thousand recruits,
drafted men from Minnesota, North
Dakota, Idaho Montana and Wy
oming, arrived here yesterday from
Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash
ington. The men made an excellent
impression on officers here who
commented enthusiastically on their
fine condition.
The contingent was attached to
the 18TH CColorado) and 158th
(Arizona) infantry. Beyond issuing
cotton uniforms to the men and
having them fill their bed ticks with
straw, nothing was required Of the
recruits, who were tired by the trip
from American Lake in day coaches
and chair cars. Warm weather for
the greater portion Of the trip also
had told on them. especially as they
were uniformed in wool and even
carried their overcoats with them.
The recruits have had about three
weeks Of training and will be placed
on a definite schedule Of instruction
next Monday.

ACTIVITY IN FRANCE
IS DAILY INCREASING

French Grand Headquarters, Feb.
27.-Trench raids along the French
front have increased in intensity
during the past month to such an
extent that they have becom. in
some instances battles in which thou
sands OF men have been engaged and
hundreds Of prisoners taken. The
ARTILLERY Is throwing unheard OF
Quantities OF shells.
The objects of the raids vary wide
ly Sometimes raid is undertaken
In order to identify enemy units, and
at other times to improve the lines,
or to capture observation points
Again raid may be made to destroy
the enemy works and prevent him
from attacking. This was the case
in Saturdays raid at Aspach. Asace,
where the Germans we're In strongly
fortified lines which they had held
since December. 1914. The enemy
positions we're bombarded beyond
recognition, and placed in such con-
dition as to hinder German opera
tions. The correspondents watched
the showers of metal tearing away
the wire entanglements, fiattening
the gun emplacements and setting
fire to the enemy's ammunition de-
pots. The operation was a complete
surprise to the Germans and most
of them retired to the rear positions.
while French infantry completed the
work of the gunners. Only a few
prisoners were taken, but valuable
information regarding the enemy
disposition of troops was obtained
before the French returned to their
own lines.
