ENEMY GAN NOT BREAK THROUGH
 BRITISH LINE
Paschendaele Ridge Scene of Furious Enemy BOmbarnment
 Yesterday-Itafans Are Con- fident of Ability.

London, March 1.-The whole fury of the German big guns on the British front was concentrated today on a bombardment against the domi- hating positions Haig's troops took during Last years fighting. The Pas chendaele Ridge sector was subjected to particularly fierce drumming. Up to late this evening, no infantry ac- tons had been recorded, but the storm was expected to break loose any moment. The manner in which the Tommies met the two concerted infantry thrusts launched by the Ba- varian crown prince northeast of Ypres two days ago has still further heightened the confidence of all Britishers that no matter haw hard Hindenburg will strike, he cannot break through.
 The British executed a successful raid to the south of St. Quentin and repulsed a German sortie northwest of LaBasse. Berlin claimed a pene tration of the British lines in the Armentiers region by German raid CTS.
 Both in Mesopotamia and Palestine the British invading armies have registered important further pro- gress. Northwest of Bagdad the Turks have retired 22 miles, leaving the town of Hit to the British with out cannon shot in defense.
 In Palestine the troops of General Allenby have pushed forward on a front of thirteen miles, taking Khel Belyondatt, Kefe Makel Telahur, and Selwad. The advance is in the direc- tion of Nablus, on the road from Jerusalem
 On the Italian front the Teuton preparations for a resumption of the Venetian drive go on day and night without, however, causing any un- easiness to the Italian high command, the defense positions being constant ly improved upon.
 Teuton flyers have raided Naples, rival of Venice in beauty, and popu- larity among tourists from all parts of the world in times of peace. More than dozen persons were killed by bombs. A hospital was struck and damage was caused chiefly in the residential section

CONFEDERATE HOME IS
 CROWDED TO CAPACITY

Little Rock, March 12.-There are now 164 inmates of the Confederate Home, of whom A are women. This is the largest number ever enrolled in the home, and the institution is crowded to its utmost capacity A forty-bed addition to the hospital was completed in January, making 65 beds in all, and these are all occupied by the older and more infirm veter- ans. Before this addition was com pleted, there were eleven beds in the chapel and religious services were conducted in the dining room.
 The health of the inmates is said to be far above that of many other institutions where all the inmates are so old. The average age is 76 years. There is an average of only about two deaths a month.
 The oldest veteran is Benjamin Franklin Garrett, who was born in Washington county Aug. 21, ISIS, and will therefore be one hundred years old next August. He says he was the oldest member of Quantrell's company. His mind is still clear and active, and he frequently walks to Riddle, three miles, to ride to the city on the street car. A year ago he went to New Mexico, making the trip in the day coach in two days. He says he has never ridden in a Pullman car

After routing out material that will be helpful in determining the exact character of the enemy troops occu- pying that particular position and ob- taining other information, the Amer jeans returned to their trenches.
 Meanwhile the enemy batteries awoke to desultory harrassing fire but failed to impede the execution of our raid in any way.
 As this is cabled, information is coming in showing that when the Americans had penetrated the Ger man positions to depth of 300 yards they found several dugouts crowded with enemy troops.
 Hand to hand fighting ensued in which many Germans were killed. the Americans using their automatics.
 American machine guns kept up an indirect fire at the German trenches throughout, thus preventing rein forcements from coming up.
 Germans occupying a listening post in no mans land attempted to fire at the Americans as the latter were re- turning but were annihilated at their post. The raid lasted 30 minutes.

PERsH|NG's MEN MAKE BRILLIANT
 SMASHING RAID
r;rst Large Scale Movement rITu Undertaken is a Rowling Sue soSs-Didn't Take Prisoners .s CouIdn't Catch Huns.

w;.b the American Army in France u..h 11-For fully a half hour ,merican troops early today fought hr;,l;ant successful hand to hand ,onbat in German trenches on the Toul front (Lorraine) in the first l.rpe scale raid undertaken by our man since their arrival in France. sunnorted by smashing barrage from our big guns, they surged for word across no mans land, driving tbe German advance line troops to aioht Then they dashed into the enemy's positions to depth of more than 300 yards and "cleaned up." In hand to hand fighting they killed many Germans and finally returned laden with trophies and highly infor- native papers and insignia. No pris- oners were taken for the reason that there were none to take. Those of the Germans who had not taken flight were trapped in their dugouts and killed in man to man combats.
 The American batteries commenced their destructive drum fire, sprinkling the German positions on line select
  ed for the raid just after the stand to" signal when the enemy was man. hing the first step in his front line positions.
 Following the custom observed in view of heavy bombardment the enemy evidently withdrew the bulk of his advanced garrison to the rear, eyading losses in prisoners.
 The American gunfire blew lanes through the enemy's barbed wire and pioneers dashed forward blowing the remaining entanglements to bits with "hell boxes"-long pipes packed with high explosives. They were protected by our "box barrage" which cut off the enemy, preventing him from counter attacking during the Ameri- can incursion.
 Our troops crossed the narrow strip Ot no mans land, traversed the torn up wire fields, and the enemy's shell shattered advanced positions. They iouhd that a certain number of Ger man dugouts had been smashed by di- rect hlts and that their trenches had Oeen Tn many places shot to pieces by our barage
 put no Germans were in evidence.

GEN. WOOD MAY
 COMMAND FIELD
 ARMY IN FRANCE
VIII Hold Rank of Lieutenant General if Plans Mature Has Been in Hospital in Paris For Some Time.

Washington, March 11.-Maior General Leonard Wood may com mand an army corps or a field army on the French battle front as a lieu- tenant general. This is one of the results expected from the visit of Secretary of War Baker to France. General Wood is convalescing in Paris from the effect of a wounded arm which German shell fragments gave him on one of his trips to the front. Secretary Baker has said that General Wood is one of the men with whom he hopes to confer while on his trip.
 General Wood is detailed in com mand of the national army division at Camp Funston, Kansas. His wounds were of such a slight char acter that he could long ago have returned there. It is believed that he is being held in France for an im- portant assignment.
 The selection of one and possibly three other lieutenant generals may also be made as the result of the trip of the secretary of war. The American army apparently is not to take over single sections of front and expand them as new troops are pre- pared to take their places in the trenches. As each separate part of the line taken over expands to the size which would warrant assignment of a full army corps or a field army to its protection, a commanding off, cer of suitable rank will be named.
 The war department recently an nounced the organization of forces in- to corps and armies. Under the plan as announced a senior major general will command each corps. A field army will call for lieutenant gen. eral.
 There is every indication that American troops are being poured in- to the battle line at a rapid rate. French officers both here and abroad have expressed their warm approval of the way in which the men have taken to their new duties. They could not have done so without train ing of the most effective sort. A French officer said here today:
 "It is one thing to learn the prin- ciples of combat and another thing to apply them. Operations on the present front are carried out under every difficulty that can be imagined, generally in perfect darkness. The ground is a wallow of mud torn into the widest disorder by shell and fire Barbed wire is encountered the most unexpected points. Enemy parties and concealed weapons are always bobbing up. For soldiers to conduct themselves with calmness and resolu- tion under such circumstances re- quires the highest training. Appar- ently every American unit has had such training"

They are paid 15 cents an hour, the same wage as paid the men. The manager writes that he is informed several other mills are employing women, but no reports have been received by the labor bureau.

WILL WRITE PARENTS OF
 THOSE KILLED IN RATTLE

Little Rock, March 12.-A sugges- tion that originated with the Arkan- sas State Council of Defense. and has been adopted by the War Depart ment, will do much toward supplying information that must necessarily be lacking since the adoption of the order providing for addressless lists of casualties.
 John s. Cravens, of the National Council, writes Director Townsend of the State Council, as follows:
 Reference to your letter of Feb 23, suggesting that upon the death of an officer or enlisted man, the chaplain of the organization of the deceased write personal and sympa- thetic letter to the parents of the de- ceased, giving the details of the death, which may be of interest to them, you are informed that recom- mendations have been made to add to that part of army regulations speci- flying the duties of chaplains, the service you suggested"
 MT. Cravens adds, "We are pleased with this action on their part and know it will be gratifying to you"
