ment Of a heavy bombardment of the
British positions. = Z
~. The enemy occupied number Of
posts along a narrow front and a hard
fight followed. Early Saturday NOR
ming the British organized counter
attack. which, although executed gal
lantly. was without the desired result.
A second counter attack was COM
pletely successful ana the Germans
were driven out.
One Of the freaks of war occurred
near Poelderhoek ridge on Friday.
The headquarters Of a British COM
pany sustained three direct hits from
German heavy guns and the building
was demolished over the heads Of the
entire staff When the infantry had
cleared away the debris in an effort
to reclaim the bodies, II was found
that not q single ofhcer had been In
jured, although some Of them were
suffering slightly from shock.
This has been another magnificent
day. The bAlmy weather Of the plst
few days. which might properly be-
long to April or May has brought out
the leaves Of the pussy-willows and
many wood land flowers. The ground
still containa some frost. but the roads
ars dry and duSty. 3,sss

FIRST CABINET
OFFICER TO GO
DURING THE WAR
Conferences with Pershing

to be His Work.
MISSION NOT FOR
DIPLOMATIC PURPOSE
American Commander Will
be Advised of Hopes of
Government.

Secretary of War Baker, the
first American cabinet officer to
visit Europe in an official capaci-
ty since the United States entered
the war, is now in France for
conferences with General Perish
ing and an inspection of the
American troops and the posi-
tions they occupy on the front
between scissors and Alsaee.
The secretary's mission is purely
military and has no diplomatic
significance.
On board of an American cruis-
er, Secretary Baker and his party
eluded German submarines .znd
arrived yesterday vat sfasFrench
seap5rt whence ahe, ,Ssrpartcd sfpr
Paris. After a fewadays in The
French capital, where he prob
ably will meet President Poincarc
and. Premier Clemenceau, the
secretary will visit the American
troops in the field.
Paris. March 11.-Newton D. Bak-
er, the American secretary of war.
arrived in Paris this morning. He
was received by General Pershing,
General Tasker H. Bliss, the American
chief of staff. French officers repre-
ea A.

The secretarys voyage was without

Washington. March Secretary
Baker plans to spend a brief time
in France. inspecting in person the
concrete results already achieved in
the efforts Of his department to place
in the field this year an army that
the eve Of his departure. Mr.. Baker
told members of the press who have
been in the habit of seeing him every
day that he did not expect to be away
for any considerable length Of time.
The secretary and his party left
Washington without any other at
tempt at concealment of their move
refrain from reporting his departure.
No hint OF the trip has been printed.
1t was impossible for General
Pershing to come for such a confer
enceA Mr.. Eaker therefore deter
mined after many conferences with
President Wilson to go himself on an
inspection tour. which will, he be-
lieves. better fit him for his great re-
sponsibility in meeting General Perish
ing's requirements in fighting men
and materials and keeping in opera
ton a supply line more than 5000
miles long.
1t is regarded as probable. too. that
the secretary will take the opportu-
nifty to inform the American comman-
der in the field very fully as to all
the hopes and aims of the govern
nlent which are at stake in the war.
! Mr.. Baker is the first member OF
President Wilson'S cabinet to 80 to
the battle zone Out OF his confer-
ences. not only with General Perish
ing. but with the leaders of the
French and British government as
we'll. will come direct information for
the president as to what is transpirinE
in the allied countries to aid him in
shaping his future course.
The war secretary is in Europe al
the presidents official representativ
and the fact that it is his war depart
ment and not diplomatic represen-
tative. is regarded as evidence of the
discrimination Of the president to
press the war axgressively to victory

This war is one of Nations not of
