ARRIVAL 0F SEC. BAKER IN FRANCE
 REPORTED
OBJECT OF MISSION IS SUBJECT OF SPECULA- TON AND REMOVAL OF CENSOR'S BAN, IT IS SAID WILL REVEAL IN TERESTING STORY OF HIS ACTIVITIES IN THE
 WESTERN WAR SECTOR.
By Associated Press.

By Assoclated Press
 WASHINGTON, March 1.-The safe arrival of Secretary of War Baker and party was formally an nounced by the navy department. Press reports about his movements on the other side are being closely watched here. Officials think if the story of his activities is allowed to pass the censor it will throw an inter- esting light on the object of his mis- sion. Emphasis laid by the war de- partment on the fact that Mir. Bakers trip is purely a military pilgrimage has directed attention to the known desire of President Wilson to see an energetic campaign waged by the Allies.
 With American troops holding a constantly increasing sector. the wishes of the Washington govern ment undoubtedly will have greater weight than heretofore with the AL lied chieftains.

BERGER FACTION CALLED ALLY OF
 LA TOILETTE
By Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE, March ll.-For- mer Governor Francis F.. McGovern, who has been candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator at the primary March 10th, late today filed his withdrawal and placed himself in the services of Congressman Irvine l.. Lenroot for the nomination.
 McGovern explains his action in a statement to the effect that his with drawal was based on the indictment of Victor l.. Berger, socialist candi- date, which practically removes Berger from the list of candidates. '" Berger's followers, McGovern says, are certain to go to the support of Thompson, the LaFollette candidate, and make sure his nomination on the Republican ticket, should both Lcnroot and I remain in the field to divide the patriotic vote of the party" "

German Front Penetrat- cd for Distance of 600 Yards as us. Troopers Advance Under Curtain Of Terrific She'll Fire: TeutonS Desert Posi- tions in Face of Mur- derous Artillery Blasts.
By Associated Press.

Raids on a considerable scale arc
 now being carried out by the Ameri- ! can troops on the Lorraine front in |, France No less than three raiding operations of some importance, in
 which the American forces took the
 leading part, are reported in dis : patches from the front. In two of these raids carried out simultan- eously the Americans penetrated the
 German front to a depth of 600 yards,
 reaching the enemy's second line.
 They operated with the protection of barrage fire.
 The Americans found the German
 trenches deserted and the only pris-
 oners taken were two wounded Ger
 mans found by a French flanking
 party in a dugout The Americans,
 however, caused great damage to the
 German positions by blowing up dug
 outs during their 45 minutes stay and captured large quantities of ma
 terial and vali.alJ documents. In the
 third raid, further along the line. the
 destruction effected by the artillery was completed by American engin- eers.
 The French official statement of today refers to the concerted effort as bold raid' by American troops.
 In Italy there have been operations of some importance The Austrians apparently made an attempt yester- day to cross the Piave river opposite Fagare, as the Italian war office to- day reports the destruction by Ital- ian batteries of boats and rafts on the Piave river at this point If such an effort were in preparation, it was frustrated by the efficiency of the de- fensive fire
 Other dispatches report the bonn bardment of Naples by enemy airmen who dropped 20 bombs in a residet- tial section, seven occupants of hos pital being among the victims. The raid was one of an unusual character because of the length of the flight necessary to reach Naples, which is more than 600 miles south of the Austro-Italian battle fine, some 250 miles away from the nearest enemy on the Albanian coast, to the east
 A strong attack had also been planned for February 28 against the important high ground held by the British in the region of Poelderhoek and southwest of that place. A pris- oner taken by the British is said to have divulged the German plans. The British artillery effectively pre- vented the carrying out of this pro- gram, and later German prisoners said their regiments had been par aded and informed that the attack had been postponed because the Brit ish had learned of 1t. The same pris- oners said the attack had been put off until the morning of March s.
 Thursday the British gunners put town a terrific barrage and the Ger mans did not attempt to advance Friday evening, however, they moved against Poelderhoek ridge under a smoke barrage and to the accompani- nent of heavy bombardment of the British positions

Foreign Minister Was Let Out Because Of His Contention That Peace Terms Signed Under Compulsion were Not Binding, and That War On Huns Should Have Been Resumed.
By Associated Press.

bs ASSOClalcu
 LONDON, March ll-Leon Trot- sky was dismissed as Bolsheviki for. eign minister by Premier Lcnine oN- ing to a quarrel over the German peace terms, according to a dispatch to the Morning Post dated Saturday in Petrograd. Trotsky held that the peace had been extorted by force and that no law recognized promises made under duress as obligatory. Therefore, he is reported to have said, it was Russia's duty to fight, if ona, guerilla warfare, and the German treaty should not be ratified.
 Premier Lenine, on the other hand, held that the treaty must be ratified and carried out on the theory that disastrous treaties do not necessarily annihilate nations, as Prussia had proved several times.
 Promises Aid of U. s.
 WASHINGTON, March ll.-On the eve of the gathering at Moscow of the Russian congress Of Soviets, which is to pass judgment on the German-made peace accepted by the Bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk. Presi- dent Wilson has sent a message of sympathy to the Russian people, with a pledge that the United States will avail itself of every opportunity to aid them in driving out autocracy and restoring Russia to a place in the world with complete sovereignty and independence.
 The message was made public by the State Department tonight and in part follows: May I not take ad- vantage of the meeting of the con gress of Soviets to express the sin cere sympathy which the people of the United States feel for the Rus sian people at this moment when German power has been thrust in to interrupt and turn back the whole struggle for freedom, and substitute the wishes of Germany for the pur- poses of the Russian people" Thus, in his first formal word to Russia since that revolution-torn country de- serted the Allied cause, the president indicates the purpose of the United States to disregard the hard terms upon which the German and Aus trian war lords promised peace to the Russians and to demand an account ing on a very different basis when victory is at last achieved by America and the Allies.

Britain's Quota

Out of Z, 500, ,OOO men enlisted In the
army and navy service OF the British
empire, 4.5SO, 900 are English. England
has given 1888 per cent Of her popu-
lation to the war; Scotland, with
go, 600 enlisted men, has given an
even l3 per cent, and Wales, with
1000, slightly betters both her sis
ter countries In q percentage Of Is 8.
This is sufficient answer to those
who have charged Great Britain with
stacking, or who have made the silly
assertion that she WAS doing all her
fighting with colonial troops. AS q
matter OF fact, the estimated con-
tributiOn Of the colonies and domin-
ions is only per cent Of their pop
ulstions.
In spite of this splendid showing.
Great Britain is now calling for
800, 600 more men. The addition OF
this number would bring her quota
up to an average OF l4.5 per cent from
the populations Of England, Scotland
and Wales. America would have to
put over 10000 men In uniform ia
do as well.-Denver News.
