AIR RAIDS OVER PARIS
Paris Is Again Visited by Teuton Air-
planes and Several People Killed.
Secretary Baker Arrives in
France—Other Fronts.
Newton D. Baker, the American sec-
retary of war, has reached a French
port.
Upon hearing of Secretary Baker’s
safe arrival in France through the As-
sociated Press dispatch from Paris,
the war department Saturday an-
nounced that the secretary’s visit is
purely military and not diplomatic,
and is for purposes of inspection and
personal conferences with military of-
ficials. Mr. Baker is accompanied by
Major General William M. Black, chief
of engineers; Lieutenant Colonel M.
L. Brett, and Ralph Hayes, his private
secretary.
Secretary Baker plans to spend' a
brief time in France, inspecting re-
sults already accomplished by his de-
partment in its efforts to place in the
field this year an army that will be a
factor in the campaign.
Continuation of patrol attacks by
the Germans all along the western
front in France and Belgium indicates
that their line, having been heavily re-
inforced, the entente armies and the
American forces soon will be asked to
withstand thrusts of a more serious
nature.
Gauged by the firmness of the Brit-
ish, French and Americans in meeting
the enemy assaults in the last few
weeks, and the optimism that prevails
on the allied front, a warm reception
awaits the enemy when he launches
his attack. In the past fortnight from
Belgium to the Swiss frontier the Ger-
mans have essayed minor attacks, in
nearly all of which they have been
beaten before they reached the en-
tente trenches. Where a footing luck
:ily was obtained the German tenure
of the position generally was short
lived, for counter attacks expelled
them.
Everything in the way of modern
warfare, not omitting liquid fire, has
been tried against the Americans, but
nowhere has the enemy been able to
dent the front held by General Persh-
ing’s men. On the contrary, the Amer-
icans have answered all the German
offensive with bravery, and although
they have suffered casualties, they
have jolted the enemy with their guns
and rifle fire and the Germans do not
like coming into hand-to-hand encoun-
ter with the Americans and invariably
give ground in the face of their do-or-
die attacks.
As in France and Belgium, the activ-
ity along the entire front in Northern
Italy is heightening, and here also pa-
trol engagements and artillery duels
seemingly signalized the approach of
bitter fighting. Doubtless with the
spring thaw the enemy will endeavor
to force his way from the mountain
regions out upon the plains of Venetia,
and also to cross the Piave river and
form a junction with his northern ar-
mies. Here, however, the Italians,
having been heavily reinforced by the
British and French, sanguinary en-
counters may be expected.
Although the breakdown in the Rus-
sian army in Asiatic Turkey was ex-
pected to release thousands of Turks
who might be sent against the British
operating in Mesopotamia and Pales-
tine, the British commanders in these
two regions apparently are unafraid.
Both of them again have driven their
lines' forward, Lieutenant General
Marshall having captured Hit, on the
Euphrates river, eighty miles west of
Bagdad, and General Allenby in Pales
tine having gone forward two or three
miles on a front of thirteen miles
northwest of Jerusalem.
Little additional information has
come through concerning the situation
in Russia as regards either .Great
Russia, Little Russia or Eastern Si
beria. Reports from Sweden say that
a force of German infantry and artil
lery has invaded Finland. The Cos
sacks’ leader, General Semenoff, is en
deavoring to put down the opposition,
of the bolsheviki along the Trans-Si-
berian railway in East Siberia. The
Japanese foreign minister has declined
to discuss the subject of Japan’s inter-
vention in Siberia.
British airmen have successfully
bombed the great Daimler motor fac-
tory at Stuttgart, where for a long
time the intensive manufacture of air-
planes and airplane motors has been
in progress. Munitions factories and
the railway station also were bombed
during the attack carried out in broad
daylight.
Ten or twelve squadrons of bombing
airplanes participated in the German
raid on Paris Saturday night, accord
ing to official information. The casual-
ties were nine killed and thirty-nine
persons wounded. One of the raiding
machines was destroyed. An official
statement says the airplane,- of the
Gotha type, was found in the forest of
Campiegne, where it had fallen while
returning from the raid on the capital.
The machine had been demolished and
its crew of four burned to death. Some
of the raiders came by way of the val-
ley of the Oise, others followed the
route of the Marne,
Amsterdam.—M. Toncheff," Bulga-
rian minister of finance and head of
the peace delegation, returned Thurs-
day from Bucharest to report to his
government on the negotiations with
Roumania. He explained to the Bul-
garian sobranje that on the expiration
of the armistice Saturday the Rouma-
nian delegates announced that the
crown council at Jassy had decided to
accept the conditions offered by the
central powers, including the cession
of the Dobrudja, readjustment' of the
frontier between Hungary and Rou-
mania and the granting of economic
concessions.
The Roumanian government was
then informed that it must sign before
noon of March. 5 a preliminary treaty
embodying these terms, and that ne-
gotiations would be resumed imme-
diately with a view to a further armis-
tice and the final conclusion of peace.
M. Toncheff said that the prelimi-
nary treaty between the individual
countries would be drawn up in iden-
tical terms, but in the final treaty,
which would requite some alterations
in the wording, it would expressly stip-
ulate that Roumania cede the Do-
brudja to Bulgaria. The economic
concessions also would be set forth
clearly, the work of defining them
probably occupying some time.
Following are the terms of the pre-
liminary peace treaty:
“1. Roumania cedes to the central
allied powers Dobrudja as far as the
Danube.
“2. The powers of the quadruple al-
liance will provide and maintain a
trade route for Roumania by way of
Constanza to the Black Sea.
“3. The frontier rectifications, de-
manded by Austria-Hungary on the
frontier between Austria-Hungary and
Roumania are accepted in principle by
Roumania.
“4. Likewise economic measures cor-
responding to the situation are con-
ceded in principle.
“5. The Roumanian government un-
dertakes to demobilize at least eight
divisions of the Roumanian army. Con-
trol of the demobilization will be un-
dertaken jointly by the upper com-
mand of Field Marshal von Maclter-
sen’s army group and of the Rouma-
nian chief army command. As soon
as peace is restored between Russia
and Roumania the remaining parts of
the Roumanian army also will be de-
mobilized in so far as they are not
required for security service on the
Russo-Roumanian frontier.
“6. The Roumanian troops are to
evacuate immediately the territory of
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy oc-
cupied by them.
“7. The Roumanian government un-
dertakes to support with all its
strength the transport of troops of the
central powers through Moldavia and
Bessarabia to Odessa.
“8. Roumania undertakes immediate-
ly to dismiss the officers of the pow-
ers who are at war with the quadruple
alliance still in the Roumanian serv-
ice. The safe conduct of these offi-
cers is assured by the quadruple alli-
ance. This treaty enters into opera-
tion immediately.”

Tablets Commemorating Fall Alamo.
San Antonio, Tex.—Two tablets com-
memorating the fall of the Alamo were
unveiled Wednesday by the Texas
Landmarks Association, Wednesday
being the eighty-second anniversary of
the tragedy which kindled the spirit
of Texas independence. The ceremony
was signalized by the firing of three
volleys and the sounding of taps by
soldiers from Camp Travis. The tab-
lets were unveiled by Miss Adina de
Zavala, granddaughter of the first vice
president of the republic of Texas
Major General John W. Ruckman, com-
mander of the Southern department,
was among the speakers.
Heavy Timber Found for Ships.
Winnfield, La.—Henry E. Hardtner,
federal administrator of Louisiana, in
charge of conservation, after a week’s
investigation with regard to govern-
ment charges that lumbermen were
not furnishing large size timbers for
ship construction, said Friday that he
had located an abundance of large
trees in that section which will meet
all government requirements for the
present emergency, and that he would
immediately recommend that the gov-
ernment install motor trucks for the
purpose of hauling the ship timber to
the saw mills.
Washington.—General increases in
wages, an eight-hour day with time
and a half pay for overtime, free trans-
portation where an employe is com-
pelled to spend more than 10c a day
in car fare and provision for griev-
ance committees of employes vere
contained in‘an award Wednesda: . by
the shipbuilding labor adjustr lent
board, applicable to all wooden" i hip-
yards south of Baltimore and all £ iip-
yards south of Newport News on the
Atlantic and gulf ooasts.
The decision follows in principle the
award in the Delaware and Philadel-
phia districts which gave the labor
important concessions for which l^e.
workingmen have been fighting for
years.
The board’s decision prohibits dis-
crimination between union and non-
union men.
In granting a basic eight-hour day
the board undertook to encourage the
institution of two and three shifts by
limiting overtime so that the total
work shall not exceed sixty hours i a
week.
March 25 was made the effective
date of the award, which is retroactive
as to wages to February 1 for all yards
except those in which disputes have
been settled temporarily on a basis of
other dates.
Minimum hourly wages were fixed
for all yards so as to equalize the nu-
merous differences in rates. Where
higher rates are being paid than the
scale provides it was ordered that no
change should be made. Under the
new scale loftsmen, the highest p;fid
of the ship craftsmen, will receive at
least 75c an hour; acetylene welders,
blacksmiths, boilermakers, carpenters,
and caulkers, 65c; riveters and steel
erectors, 60c; painters, 55c; drillers
and punchers, 50c; bolters and cemen-
ters, 45c; firemen, 40c; helpers, 37 %c
.and 40c; laborers, 35c.
Employment of men not fully quali-
fied ib permitted when competent
craftsmen are not available, provided
that if retained six months they shall
be advanced to journeymen’s wages.
Defense Council Adopts Resolution.
Austin, Tex.—By a rising and en-
thusiastic vote the State Council of
Defense, which concluded its meeting
Friday, adopted a resolution express-
ing sincere appreciation of Governor
Hobby’s devotion and unselfishness to
diity with reference to his war meas-
ures and for his efforts in behalf of
relief for the drouth-stricken sufferers
of Texas.

ance applied for is $8,085. Ninety per
cent of the United States army is in-
sured, final figures show.
Eighteen British Ships Sunk.
London. — Eighteen British mer-

Month’s School Apportionment.
,ustin, Tex.—The state hoard of ed-
ucation announced Tuesday that the
state apportionment for March is $1.
Tl/e amount that will be sent out to
the school depositories for this month
is approximately $1,232,291. “This
lakes a payment of $7 on this year’s
portionment,” said Superintendent
ouglity. Only 50c remains yet to be
aid to the schools of the state.
Brilliant Red Light Visible.
Boston, Mass.—An aurora borealis
of brilliant red was visible throughout
New England Thursday night for a pe-
riod of about three hours. At the Har-
vard observatory it wras said that the
color resulted from peculiar electrical
conditions in the upper strata of the
atmosphere.
Austin, Tex.—Governor Hobby sent
special message to the 'legislature
Tuesday transmitting statements from
the state treasurer and the controller
showing the financial condition of the
various state funds.
According to State Treasurer Ed-
wards’ figures, the net deficit in the
general revenue fund cm August 31,
1918, the end of the fiscal year, will be
approximately $315,000. In reaching
this conclusion he advises that it will
be necessary to refund about $600,000
on liquor licenses in counties and
cities which have gone dry and to sa-
loons which will be-closed by the new
zone law.
Acting Controller Little reported
that the total appropriations of the
hirty-fifth legislature, including the
egular, the first, second and third
sailed sessions, were $24,364,773, of
vhieh $14,770,415 was for the current
fiscal year and $9,594,358 was for the
next fiscal year. This does not in-
clude appropriations repealed and sus-
pended, which amounted to $1,726,800
for the first year and $102,800 for the
second year.
With the foregoing obligation Treas-
urer Edwards supplies figures which
show that the net amount to be paid
during this fiscal year is $13,615,036.
He calculates a net income from ad
valorem taxes of $8,040,883, this after
deducting 20 per cent for assessing
and collecting delinquents. His esti-
mate is derived from a 35c tax rate on
total assessments of $2,871,744,289. Re-
ceipts from other sources he estimates
at $2,815,218 and cash on September 1
lhst year $2,045,291. This makes a
grand total of $13,901,393, an apparent
surplus of $286,357; but with the de-
duction of $600,000 on liquor dealers’
refund the-deficit is found.
From September 1 last to March 1
general revenue has paid $5,670,107,
leaving unpaid for the remainder of
the fiscal year $7,944,929, and there is
op hand in cash $5,887,602, leaving net
to be gotten before September 1 the
sum of ^2,057,316.
'Mr. Edwards furnishes interesting
dita iu reference to other funds in his
keeping;.
Out of an obligation of $7,613,859 in
the available school fund it has paid
all| but $220,113, or $6 per capita for
all children within scholastic age.
At this time the piermanent school
fund owns cash and bonds aggregating
$21,281,111.
The confederate pension fund has a
cash balance of $802,958; the highway
commission, $876,623; the prison com-
mission, $1,134,955; the game, fish and
oystir fund has accumulated a balance
of 538,159, and the fish and oyster
funds, $24,000.
In conclusion, the treasurer advised
that at the close of business February
28 lie hah balances aggregating $9,425,-
061 and- said, “And of this amount 1
had the sum of $5,000,000 in transit to

Pro Resolution Filed.
stin, Tex.—The joint resolution
tifying the prohibition amend-
to the federal constitution was
Tuesday in the office of the sec-
ry of state and is now of official
record. Approval by the governor was

Houston,' Tex.-^A-planr-1'which would
facilitate handling the onion crop of
..the Rio Grande^-Valley,- placing upon
the jnarket $5/do<5,66o worth of onions
and through the harvest to make avail-
able; 35,000 acres of irrigated land in
the Rio Grande for additional crops,
was ^submitted' to' Administrator Peden
Friday by a committee of onion grow-
ers: jfrom the .onion belt. The pro-
posal is that' tlie United States food
administration name a special agent
-to assist in the handling and distribu-
tion1; of the 1918 crop, which begins
moving during the latter part of March

Vfish to eliminate the usual taking of
profits by middlemen and to place
upon the market onions at a consider-
able, reduction-when compared to pres-
ent prices. The committee stated to
Administrator Peden that while grow;
ers were receiving l%c a pound for
.their onions, the housewives, because
of defective' distribution, are compell-
ed to pay 7%c and 8c.
The . committee waiting upon Mr.,
Peden consisted of John H. Davis, La-
redo, Webb county; T. I. Rock, Co-
tulla, La Salle county; W. R. Stone,
Carrizo Springs, Dimmit county; A- H.
Rife, Valley Mills, Zavala county; W.
L. Bradbury, Mission, Hidalgo coun-
ty. Mr. Peden upon hearing the re-
quest of the onion growers gave the
committee letters to take with them
to Washington, where the proposal
will be made before the perishable
division of the United States food ad-
ministration.
With the committee as counselor
was Fred M. Malley, county demon-
stration agent of the' agricultural de-
partment, La're’do, who in turn repre-
sented the six other counties in the
onion belt.
One of the most interesting develop-
ments brought-‘but by the committee
in its report -to Mr-. Peden was that at
the present .time . 15,000v acres under
cultivation come tinder the head of a
co-operative association, and that the
desire is to bring in the remaining
3,000 acr.qs into a joint marketing prp-
gram; that the 18,000' acres whbn
cleared of onions would be ready for
the planting of other crops, and a suc-
cessful sale of the onions would make
possible the financing of 35,000 acres
of irrigable land in the territory in
which the onions are raised.
The crop for 1917 was 12,000 acres,
as compared - with 18,000 acres for
1918, and it is estimated as having a
conservative value of $5,000,000.
When the committee reaches Wash-
ington it will ask for an audience with
Director General McAdoo of the rail-
ways with a view of securing suf-
ficient cars when the crop begins to be
gathered in to insure transportation
as the onions are harvested. This is
necessary so there will be no “lay-
ing over” and deterioration caused
through heat and adverse climatic con-
ditions.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
WILL OPEN APRIL b
Issue Is to Have Distinctive Flag
With an Overplus Quota
of Stars.
Wa s h ingtq$^-The,.,third liberty loan,
which will open April 6, is to have a
distinctive flag it's own.' Red bor-
der, white ' inferior ‘field,- 'with' three
vertical blue stripes—this is the de-
sign for the honor emblem which will
b'e bestowed upon eacli’^ity exceeding
its quota of liberty bonds. If a cit}
dqubles its quota a star will be adde.:
to its flag and a.tripling of the. quota
will be recognized by two stars.
Among other features of a system
of honors devised for the third liberty
loan and announced Thursday by Sec-
retary McAdoo, is the plan of giving a
window card bearing a reproduction of
the flag to each purchaser of a bond
and of establishing honor rolis in each
community or organization of any kind
to bear the names of the subscribers.
It is planned also to unfurl a state
honor flag at each capital after the
campaign is ended to bear the names
and records of each community which
won a quoth flag. A national flag to
be flown at Washington after the cam-
paign will bear the records of states.

At this time of the -year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their, blood is .thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily.
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over-
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance,
against ills of all kinds. Almost all'
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished-blood. It is to'be noticed in the:
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonic there’s
nothing better than Dr. Pierce’s Golden

fine reputation for fifty years. It con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood-
