Thrilling Story
Of German Raid
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., July 29.—Writ-
ing of a German air raid on Paris,
one of the American Red Cross in-
spectors gives a thrilling account of
how American troops and Red Cross
workers give aid to the city in such
desperate moments. He describes
an air raid in this fashion:
“Nowhere is there any sound but
the echoes of footsteps. Not a street
is to be seen, not a single ray of
light—nothing but the inkiest and
most impenetrable darkness. Then
all of the noise of the world seems
to break loose. Clang, clang, clang
booms ^the tocsin—like a gigantic
pneumatic riveter working on a
collosal bell. Whoo-e shrieks the
siren, running up and down the scale
In an awful wail.
“The streets come „to ilfe. Doors
open and slam shut. 'The sidewalks
are full of ghostly figures hurrying
towards the caves, where the inhab-
itants have fitted up cots and bunks.
They get up now to make a-sitting
place for tbe new comers. The p
fills up. Everyone looWs apathetic,
sleepy and bored. The children go
to sleep with their heads on their
mother’s shoulders, and a girl in the
uniform of a street car conductor
swape war yarns with a poilu in
; i .
dingy bine. In the last raid the
front trucks of her car were thrown
from the rails by the displacement
of air caused by an exploding tor-
pedo. The car and Its inmates were
' unhurt. The poilu looks a mite in-
credulous and mumure, ‘I can well
believe you, Mademoiselle.’
“Outside the noise continues for
three or four minutes and then
anti-efaft guns, which
tehee to berg furiously from
half a doien different points. Search-
lights rake the sky. The Archies
continue their clamor, but they are
not firing at anything, merely keep-
ing up a barage fire to prevent the
boche from flying over the city.
“Suddenly there is an earth-rock-
ing whoom. No more doubt as to
where the boches are. Whoom,
whoom whoom! One involuntarily
*
ducks and tries turtlewise to cover
bin head with his shoulders. A side-
ous noise resounds up and down the
deserted street—falling walls, and
the tinkling and crash of showers of
broken glass and roofing tiles.
“Through the glass and litter of
the street an American Red Cross
camoinette comes ploughing its way.
One of the city firemen stands on
the running board. They stop and
the fireman flashes an electric lamp
into the ruins, makes a hasty ihspec:
tion, and then runs up’ the street
’ j- .
and dives into the redlight ‘cave.’
“‘Anybody here froiio numbers 49
.
to 51?? he calls. A half a dozen
voices yell out that- there, is.
.houseless shrugs his‘shoulders and
says ‘C’est le Guerre, and once more'
the peaceful stars shine down traa-
..•••* - 1 . >:• ... y xf
quilly on- the silent streets^”
-
“ ‘IS everybody here* *4rom those
numbers? Was there afiyone left in
either of those building?’
“There is an anxious calling back
and forth and a rapid counting of
noses’. ‘All here’ is the answer!
“Good! Not much left of those
two buildings. Don't enter the ruins
until they have been inspected by
the engineering department. Go to
the Sisters of the Poor if you want
food or a place to sleep.
“A wail and several curses com-
pete, but the fireman is gone.
■‘The Archies have stopped and
' •
there are no more whoops, but peo-
ple stay in their cellars. It is only
9 o’clock, and experience has shown
! •• I £» y-vj r. i :
that the industrious and .methodical
boches will keep coming back again
and again until after midnigth.
“A half a mile away a bright red
glow gets larger and larger and
lights the sky. A fire has broken
out in tbe railroad yards and is mak-
ing great headway. Several cars of
oil are burning fiercely and spread-
ing to cars of merchandise. Half a
dozen American soldiers are working
feverishly trying to get the untouch-
ed cars away from the fire.
“Two of them have got hold of a
switch engine and are shunting out
ole strings of cars.
you know anything about
these French engines, sir?’, asks the
impromptu engineer, *1 can't find the
damn brake.’

Sacramento, Cal.. July 29.—A sea
of wheat replacing a sea of water,
twenty* thousand acres in one tract
bringing forth the cereal of which
Uncle Sam and his allies in the world
war are in such great need, is a
transforamtion accomplished on*
what was overflowed land, near Sac-
ramento.
The . huge tract formerly covered
with the flood waters of the Sacra-
mento and the American rivers lies
in a fertile basin' of some •: sixty-odd
thousand acres, most of . which has
been reclaimed and turned tfo agri-
culture through the efforts of the
federal and state government, at the *
cost of millions of dollars.
. -• . ' ■ ■; ■ -
The reclamation of this land in
permanent fashion was made possi-
ble by the progress of the Sacra-
mento River Flood Control project
which, after endorsement by con-
gress and the California legislature,
is being steadily pushed to comple-
tion by the fedsral authorises, the
California debris commission, on one
hand and the state authorities, the
reclamation board, on the other.
The project eventually will cost
about $42,000,0(10 and is designed to
take care of the floods or the Sacra-
*
mento river; these amount to five
times as much as the river channel
* * .
can cairy. The interests of naviga-
tion, reclamation and flood ^ control
are so intermingeld that it is neces-
sary to- adopt a plan which- will pro-
the house in 1S7S. He now enjoy*
the additional distinction of being
otie of the comparatively few sdr-
tvlviiig. soldiers of the Confederacy
sitting in either branch of the nation-
