Secretary Baker Has His First Experience #
 Garman Attack in Air

Al
 Park, March 1s Secretary Baker to day made the following statement con corning Monday nights air raid on Paris:
 Tt was my first experience of the actu- altles of war and a revelation of the methods inaugurated by an enemy who wages the same war against women and children as against soldiers.
 ''If his objects are to damage prop erty, the results are trifling when com pared with his efforts. If his objects are to weaken the peoples morale the reply is given by the superb conduct of the people of Paris
 Moreover, aerial raids on towns. which are counterpart of the pitiless submarine war and the attacks against American rights. are the very explanation of the reason why America entered the war. We are sending our soldiers to Europe to fight until the world is delivered from these horrors"
