which the Germans greet the entente machines.
 This was explained to the Associ- ated Press by French officer as due to the fact that it is dangerous to fire shrapnel and shells into the sky over q city of the size of Paris as the casu- alties from the falling of the very shells destined for the enemy might be larger than the damage done by their own bombs.
 "Of course" said the officer, "the Germans need have no such scrupIe they care little how many French and Belgian civilians they kill"

LARGE CHINESE DISTRICT
 IS FACING STARVATION

PEKING, Jan. g (by maiD Seven ty-fiye thousand persons in the flooded district southwest of Tientsin are fac ing death by starvation and exposure, according to a report by the North China Christian Flood Relief Com mittee. Similar conditions on small CT scale obtain in other parts of the flooded area
 While the water has drained away from the larger part of the flooded area, the Wen-An Hsien district still forms a lake some two thousand square miles in extent, approximately triangular in shape, with Tientsin at the apex. Here the water, which at it's height was twenty feet, still reaches a depth of fifteen feet.
 The district is all below the level of the rivers which enclose it and the water cannot drain off, but must grad, ually disappear by evaporation and percolation-a process which at the best will probably require five years.
 In some of the river bends there have been accumulations of ice which have so checked the flow of the water that it has broken out again in fresh places and reflooded certain areas, de- stgoying the winter wheat In one district the people had sown wheat three times as the water gradually drained off, and the third time it took root, only to be finally destroyed by these new winter floods.
 The suffering of destitute villagers is described in letter from Anping as follows:
 The cold has cost many lives for the people are largely without fuel and in many cases have no winter clothes One of the agents recruiting workmen for roadmaking found in one village that ten people had succumbed in a few days The Restitution is increas- ing and the suffering growing more intense.'

HOW RAIDERS ARE RECEIVED
 BY PARISIANS

PARIS, Feb. 1. (by ma1l) Paris awoke this morning, or rather arose from sleepless beds, with a shudder of horror that gradually became l feeling of rage and a cry for vengeance and reprisals as the exaggerated stories of the casualties attending the German air raid were being circulated
 In spite of the fact that the visit of the raiders had been expected and that friends left one another on these bright moonlit nights with the part ing: Shall we be 'Gotha-ed' tonight7" the general alarm of the impending afraid first came as a distinct shock, but the innate curiosity of the Par isian promptly got the better of his prudence and it was not long before there were heads protruding from nearly every window and the people began swarming into the sreets.
 It has now been definitely ascer- tained that the correct number of casualties is thirty-six killed and one hundred and ninety wounded Four German squadrons crossed the French lines. thirty-two machines in all, and it is asserted in German communiques that thirty thousand popnes of .ex- plosives were rained over tfa eiiy 1ahd it's suburbs.
 The amount of material damage ap- pears to be rather small as compared with the magnitude of the German endeavor
 It was twenty minutes past eleven when the first alarm was sounded and immediately the distant rumbling of the heavy anti-aircraft guns could be heard in the distance to the north Gradually it grew nearer and nearer and meanwhile the buzz of the motors of the French airplanes, as one after the other they rose to meet the on- coming Germans in battle and circled over the city now and then flashing their lights, became louder and louder. It gave the Parisians a feeling of se- curity and pride.
 "They are sure Of warm recep- tion," said one man in a window. q think I'll turn in and let them fight it out. I'll read all about it in the morning papers"
 Then suddenly, deeper detonations were heard, hollow, muffled roars and one knew that somewhere in the city children and women were being slaughtered.
 For two long, interminable hours they kept at it and then the reports became fainter and fainter and died out altogether.
 All Paris was buzzing with excite ment as the people went to the daily routine of their work this morning and the conversations heard in the subway and other conveyances and public places were of but one topic. the raid. It was with stern visages that they greeted. one another. If the Germans had hoped to weaken the morale of the civilian population they made a mistake as generations and demands for reprisals were heard on all sides. There was no whimpering, no talk of letting up in the war. noth- ing but the firm resolution to con tinue fighting.
 How can we make peace with such such people as that?" said a gentle old woman in mourning. The women were very brave.
 To one accustomed to the air raids by entente aviators on cities in Bel gium and in the occupied territory of Francee the firing of the French anti. aircraft guns against the enemv ma chimes appeared feeble in comparison

WORSHAM LOSES HEARING.

Miss Tine Houston of Mexico, who
is historian for the Audrain county
soldier boys, has for some time been
inquiring, DO you know Carson
Worsham?"
She was unable to learn anything
about young Worsham, only that he
was in the draft for Audrain. But
she knows now. After more than
five months he has been heard from
over in France and is with Per-
shing's expeditionary forces, 1t hap
pens that his parents reside in Mex
leo, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Worsham.
Late letters received from Carson
Worcham indicate that he was
gas-ed on May 5th by the Germans
and that his hearing has been ruin
ed. Before he was hurt he weighed
IT'S pounds but now he is cut to
about lis pounds.
All, those wicked Huns, how
Americans feel like gnashing on
them, with their teeth.
