FOR GERMANS
CONTINUED from page -

trenches within few hours. Former
ly several days were necessary, dur
which the Germans rushed up re-
serves.
AS a result of these tactics, single
raids last week yielded over 500
prisoners. Likewise, where last win
ter the sole object of raids was to
capture prisoners for the purpose OF
enabling the French to obtain detail
ed information of Germany's offens-
i've plans. the raids this year have an
other and most important purpose.
The artillery preparation for each
raid completely destroys the Germans
first line positions and trenches
from which they could launch their
coming offensive.
Owing to the Germans 1918 defens'
i've tactics, which consist OF their po
sitions being held strongly toward
the rear instead Of along the front,
raiders are often forced to penetrate
to the depth OF q mile, destroying ali
intervening trenches and fortified
tons.
The raids likewise develop where
the Germans are fortifying them
selves strongest. Saturdays raids
in Alsace, showed the Germans
fearing French reconquest Of Alsace-
Lorraine, have fortified villages,
farms, factories and trenches into an
endless line OF reinforced concrete
forts.
While keeping accurately Informed
from prisoners of the dispositions
made by Germans of their forces for
the coming offensive. French raids
are simultaneously tearing up the
German lines along the entire front.
The difficulties for the Germans
eventual attack are thus increased
and their chances for SUCCESS de-
creased.

SeeadIer Had Partner.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-News
that the German raider Seeadler,
wrecked in the south Pacific, had a
partner in the auxiliary cruiser Wolf
today cleared up the mystery Of the
disappearance of three Pacific coast
vessels. They were the schooner
Winslow, owned by George e. Billings,
of San Francisco; the Pacific Steam
Whaling company's schooner Beluga,
and the schooner Encore, owned by
the Rolph Coal and Navigation com
pany. All were victims OF the Wolf
and 1t is believed their crews are in
cluded in the 400 prisoners which the
raider has delivered to Germany.
Captain Cameron of the Beluga had
his wife and little daughter on the
trip with him and they are believed to
be among the prisoners.

seed corn situation were discussed
at the meeting.
Small Percentage Available.
A great number Of tests have been
made, covering every portion OF the
state. From these 1t appears that
only very small percentage OF the
1917 corn will grow. The season was
backward and the frost struck the
corn before it was sufficiently mature
to Withstand the effect Of freezing
The condition Of the 1917 corn crop
Is much worse than that following
the season of 1916, according to all
reports thus far received In the Office
of the census director.
Must Test Every Ear.
There Is only one thing to do
this year." Mr.. Clock says, land that
is to submit the corn to be used for
seed to most rigid test. 1t will
not be enough to test an ear here
and there in a lot of corn. Every
ear will have to be tested"
The object of the census is par
ticularly to secure information as to
the amount Of corn in the state that
will grow and where it is located,
with view to It's distribution among
those sections where there Is no corn
for seed. ila''
1--WE will be compelled to fall back
on what is left of the 1916 CROP"
said Mr. Clock There is probably
none left of the corn gathered for
seed purposes in that year. but for
tunately the 1916 corn was of good
quality and most OF the corn that
was cribbed then can be used for
seed corn this season and there is
q considera BILE amount OF it."
