WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March s. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) = A small American patrol early this morning met an en- emy patrol in No Mans land near Chemin deS Danes and fired on the enemy A sharp skirmish resulted. the accurate firing of the Americans caus- ing one enemy casualty and undoubted- ly three others. The Americans re- turned to their lines without a man being scratched.
 The troops on the Lorraine front at the same time suffered an extremely heavy concentrated bombardment. Northwest of Foul the enemy fired nearly a hundred gas shells into one of the American battery positions in a short space of time, but not a single man so far has been sent to a hospital because of the rapidity with which gas masks were adjusted.
 American artillery blew up an enemy ammunition dump. The heavy shells dropped there resulted in a flash, fol- lowed by flames and great clouds of smoke. The American artillery also shelled heavily the enemy's first and second lines.
 American snipers have been especial iy active during the last twenty-four hours, one shdrpshooter killing a Ger man who was walking in a parapet. while other sharpshooters were sue cessful in hitting other Germans who showed themselves. Enemy automatic rifles were especially active last night and early this morning, but did little damage. There is normal artillery activity today.

GERMAN LEADER KILLED

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Saturday, March 9.-(Evening Preced- ing Paris Raid by the Associated Press )-The commander of the Ger man airplanes, which attempted to terrorize Paris, Captain Fritz Eckstein and three companions one of whom was an officer of the emperor's white cuirassiers from Potsdam, were killed when their machine crashed in the Compiegne forest. It is questionable whether the commander ever reached Paris
 It is believed that most of the bombs the machine carried were dropped after it was hit, during the course of its trip, but several were still attached to the airplane when the correspondent saw it lying half buried in the earth. Two of the aviators were underneath the motor and. the other was nearby.
 The German machine was of the latest model. It was built at Fried erichshaven. The wings had a stretch of 80 feet.
 Ten or twelve squadrons participated in the raid, proceeding toward Paris by three different routes in successive waves. The remarkable effective CO., operation of the aircraft batter ies, the defense escadrilles and the searchlights prevented much damage and stopped many of the raiders from reaching the capital.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, March 10.-The United Hebrew Trades came to the rescue of Tom Mooney, California labor leader convicted of murder at a mass meet ing here today. Socialist orators made fiery speeches in his behalf, but de- nounced with almost equal vigor Sam uel Gompers and the American Fedora tion of Labor. There were no indica- tions that the breach between the two labor organizations has been healed.
 We stand for something more than the mere organization of labor" de- clared Frank A. Sieverman. We stand for social and political revolution in this country and that's why they fear us. We have met here today to de- mand that Tom Mooney shall have a new trial Don't worry, my friends Your Tom will never be hanged. Why? Simple because the socialists, revolu- tionists of America, are behind him.
 We ask no aid from organized labor, from Samuel Gompers down. We ask no publicity from the capitalist press. We ask no favor from the Wilson's. nor the judges of the courts nor the prose- cutting attorneys. But Tom Mooney will never be hanged. Three powers are paralyzed when socialism makes a threat and socialism and revolution are behind Mooney"
 A similar stand was taken by the other speakers.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BRIGHTON, Colo, March 10.-A jury in the district court today found Frank H. Mulligan, former Denver detective, guilty of robbing Mrs. Irene Nolan, a Denver society woman, of jewelry valued at $3,400 in a holdup at the Model road house. The trial was the first of four cases grow ing out of the affair. The jury was out fifteen hours. Mulligan was al- lowed fifteen days to file a motion for new trial. Meanwhile he was remanded into the custody of the sheriff and is detained in jail.
 Mrs. Nolan was robbed of her jew els at about o'clock on the morning of January last. According to her testimony she arrived there with the Rev. Garret J. Burke at a. m., when they sought @ telephone to have repairs made to Burke's auto- mobile. When the affair became known Burke was relieved of his parish by Bishop John T. Tihen. Sometime after the robbery the jew els were returned to Mrs. Nolan through the medium of a Denver pawnbroker They had been mailed by registered letter from Pueblo, Colo. On the stand Jacob Fineberg, proprie- tor of the road house, and who has been charged with complicity in the robbery, testified to a rendezvous he made with Mulligan and Philip Cohen, another defendant on the same charge, to negotiate the return of the diamonds.
 Cohen is a wholesale produce deal CT of Sterling, Colo. He is the next to be triad. according to District Attorney Samuel w. Johnson. John- son says he offered Cohen immunity if he would confess and testify against Mulligan, but Cohen refused to do so Cohen was identified by Burke and Mrs. Nolan as the man who held them up. The state contended Null ligan planned the affair and that Cohen used his police revolver.

TO
 WITHHOLD DATA
 LIN CASUALTIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The war department gives no indication of yielding in it's determination to with hold the home address of soldiers killed or wounded, or who die of other causes in France.
 Easing it's position on the obJec- tfons the French government made to General Pershing against the American method of issuing casual ty lists, the department intends to meet objections in congress and from the public with the answer that the old system betrays valuable military information to the enemy, and the fact that nearest relatives of sol aires are officially notified hours be- fore they could get the information from the newspapers.
 The committee on public informa- tion maintains it's stand that the mere names of soldiers, without home addresses to identify them to neigh bors and friends, or prevent confus- ion with other men of similar name, are so devoid of news value that it will not issue the lists. Therefore. the lists will continue to be issued once a day from the office of Ad- Jutant General McCdln.
 Pointing out that the French pub fish no casualty lists at all, but mere ly notify the relatives, war officials gave as their explanation of the move that the enemy by scanning the complete casualty lists as they have previously been issued is en- abled to piece out fair idea of the identity of the troops confronting them.
 Will Be Notified
 Although, under the new plan. rela- tives will be notified and officials expect publication of names of troops will find their way into local papers, it is felt that the publications will be widely scattered and that the task of assembling the names from all the newspapers of the cauntry and consolidating them into military in l formation would be such a tremen- dous task that from the aspect of a spy system it is practically inn l possible.
 l In the smaller cities and towns it is assumed that the mere mention of a | soldiers name will lead to ready identification and publication without | a great effort, but in the great cities this is accounted well nigh impossible unless relatives themselves notify the newspapers as they receive telegrams from the war department
 Warning to Public
 In promising to quickly send official notifications to relatives, however, the war department is careful to warn the public that it must not identify men | by their names alone, because there are many similarities of names in the army. Unless a mans relatives have received an official telegram concern ing him, the department says they must assume that some other man of the same name is referred to.

SiXty-one defensive airplanes from the entrenched camps of Paris took the air. A large number of enemy machines were repulsed by the aerial defense and did not succeed in reach ing Paris. These machines were forced to drop bombs in considerable numbers in open fields and in the, suburbs.
 Although the raiders came in larger numbers. than on any preceding raid, the bombs dropped in the inhabited districts were far less numerous and they did very little or no damage.
 President Poincare visited the places where bombs had fallen and spoke a. word of encouragement to the people whose homes had been destroyed.
 During the raid on Paris, French aviators near the front who kept in constant communication with the capi- tai, took the air and bombed the air domes from which the enemy ma- chimes arose.
 The American Red Cross mobilized 105 men at the first warning and ten cars sped off to points where bombs had fallen.
