CAPT. BLACK SPEAKS. OF FIELD ARTILLERY
U. s. Army Trained to High State of Efficiency, Says
 Former Solicitor m

That the intensive training given the officers and rank and file of the United States army preparatory to theh- over seas service produced the most efficient fighting men the country has ever known. was the statement of Capt Hugo L. Black. late. of the Eighty first field artillery, who has recently re- turned to the city to resume the prac- tice of law.
 Captain Black, who received his tralh- ing at the first officers training camp has had much experience in the train> ing of the soldier and speaks autilori tativeIy, for apart from his persohai experience he has conferred with onl- cers of the United States army and ol the European allies, who were all unanimous in their praise Of the el- fciency of the American troops tas a whole.
 Captain Black, who was former. so- licitor of Jefferson county, was one of the first to respond to the call to arms and entered the officers training camp at Fort Og1ethorpe, where he was com missioned captain in the field artil- lery. He was transferred 10 camp Free mont. Cal and later sent to Fort Sill, where he took three months course in the "schoo1 of fire" At the eN- piration of the course he was assigned the Eighty first field artillery, and at the time of his discharge was brigade adjutant, which carries with it the rank of major, but before he received his commission the armistice was signed and, as he enlisted for the duration of the war, he resigned and was given his discharge.
 In speaking of the effect the signing of the armistice had on the troops Cap tain Black stated that while there was necessarily some rejoicing at the com ing of peace, the great majority of the men in training were much disappoint- ed at not having the chance to go lover there'' and take a shot at the Hun He stated that the spirit and patriotism of the men was wonderful and that the esprit de corps of the en- tire brigade. officers and men, was marked feature of the service.
 Captain Black has resumed practice and has opened his office on. the ninth floor of the First National Bank build ing.

PARIS ASKS REPRlsALs
AGAINST THE GERMANS

CableEran to, The Sunday star and
New York World. Conyright, 1913.
PARIS, June 1.-While the German
advance toward Paris is being per-
haps slowly but surely stopped, the
enemy continues his aerial offensive
against tho French capital. Another
alarm was, given Parisians at IL
o'clock last night when German air
planes were reported as having
crossed the lines.
Early this morning the German long
range guns continued to fre shells
into the Paris region. No one. how
ever, was worried about the gun, his
thoughts being elsewhere 1t the mo-
ment. Nevertheless the French peo-
ple ask for reprisals not only for the
long gun bombardment, but for The
numerous raids to which Paris has
been subjected.
One shell fred into the Paris region
yesterday hit a church, which made
the French very bitter. Most Of the
French press say there should be no
more needing German desires to be
spared air bomba ardments. Tho news
papers remind the authorities Of the
old saying ian eye for an eye"

most ardent desire to share in
the present great battle with

Attempts of the Germans to
cross the river Marne have met
with vigorous resistance and fail

effort retired from the river

AS far as has been reported
only comparatively small forces

and was active early yesterday,
but was not effective.

Throughout the allied nations the

Even looking beyond probability
ana admitting that tho enemy should
cross the Marne and continue to adj

done. The main east and west rail-
way would be cut. which would be
annoying, but not fatal A similar

fronts would be more serious, but the
