-N GERMAN RAID ON
PARIS GREATEST
. YET ATTEMPTED

v BULLETIN.;
Paris, March llw It is now reported
officially that 13 person were killed
and 50 wounded in Friday night's air
raid. ,' .
(By Associated Press.)
Paris, March 11. Ten or 12 squad
rons of bombing airplanes partici
pated in the German raid on Paris
Friday night, according to official
information. The casualties were nine
killed and 39 persons wounded.
One of the raiding machines' was
destroyed. An official statement says
that an airplane of the Gotha type
was found in the forest of Compigne,
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. I '.
Some of the raiders came by the
way of Valley of the Oise, others
followed the route of the Marne, while
still others came from the direction of
Greill.,
Artillery on Planes.
An official account of the raid says
that the alarm was sounded at 8:37
o'clock Friday evening and was pre
ceded by cannonading. French artil
lery opened fire at 8:54 o'clock, pro
' during a violent curtain of fire from
all military posts in the regions north
and northeast ofParis, which ,was
maintained without interruption until
the raiders departed.
Sixty-one defensive airplanes from
the entrenched camps' of Paris took
he air. A large number of enemy
machines were repulsed by the
aerial defense and did not succeed in
reaching Paris. These machines were
forced to drop bombs in considerable
numbers in open fields and in the
suburbs. .
Bombs Destroy Homes.
Although the raiders came in
larger numbers than on any previous
raid, the bombs dropped m the in
habited districts were far1 less numer
ous and they did very little or no
damage.
President Poincare visited the
places where bombs had fallen and
! v spoke a kindly word of encourage
ment to the people whose homes had
been destroyed.
During the raid on Paris, French
aviators rear the front, who kept in
constant communication with the
capital, took the air and bombarded
the airdromes from which the enemy
machines arose. , .
New arrangements for sheltering
the people, and other precautions
worked well and the authorities are
generally satisfied that the effects of
the raid were reduced to the lowest
degree possible. j : ?
German Leader Klled.)
, . Grand Headquarters of French
Army in France, Saturday, March 9.
The commander of the German air
planes which attempted to terrorize
Paris, Captain - Fritz Eckstein, and
three companions, one of whom was
an officer of the Emperor's White
Cuirassiers from Potsdam, were killed
when their machine, crashed down in
the Compiegne forest. It is question
able whether the commander ever
reached Paris. '
The German machine was of the
latest model. It was built at Frieder
schafen. The wings had a stretch of
80 feet. t -

SWEDEN LOOKS
WITH DISFAVOR
ON FINN TREATY
Believe New and Greater
Menace Than Russia Now
Hanging Over Scan
. . dinavians.
By CARL LUNDBURG.
(Special Cablegram to New York Tri
bune and Omaha Bee.)
Stockholm, March 11. The orienta
tion of Finland to Germany's "side is
now an accomplished fact.
Wolffs bureau, the German official
news agency, in whieh the kaiser re
cently was revealed as one of the
largest stockholders, published this
morning the treaty, between Finland
and Germany, terminating the state of
war, but which Germany guarantees
the independence of. Finland, but Fin
land cannot cede any part of its ter
ritory without a previous agreement
with Germany, '
Fortifications also must be- removed-
from the Aland islands, and
a special convention will decide that
the islands shall remain unfortified.
This morning's Stockholm papers
sound a warning that it is time to
take notie of the probability of the
Russian danger being changed into a
German-Finnish menace. They refer
to the deposition of the Aland islands
as a happy ending for German opera
tions in the Baltic, and recall the re
cent words of the Finnish foreign
minister, Sarito, indicating that Fin
land's orientation will have an
economic and political effect upon
Scandinavia. , ' '
"Germany," says one editor, "will
put herself on guard tagainst an
eventual transit of commerce by
Sweden. The fact that Finland
places herself under German protec
tion is only another reason to awaken
our attention. The German program
of control from Bagdad to the North
Cape, met an obstacle in the south,
but by the way of Finland, she now
extends a menacing hand toward the
north,
"Von Kuhlma'nn is said to have ex
plained at a secret Reichstag meeting
that the German expedition to Fin
land was required by the necessity to
prevent Swedish i intervention par
ticularly in the Aland islands, and to
create in Finland animosity toward
Sweden." i

Americans Permit

Germans to
Bodies From Wire
, , (By Associated Presa.) '
; With the American Artny in France,
Saturday," March 9. Some oi the
Americans in a listening post in front
of the line northwest of Toul early
this morning discovered an tmmy
patrol fixing their own wire and
promptly opened fire. ,The Germans
retreated, leaving two of their num
ber hanging on the barbs.
Some hours after daylight, a party
of Germans, two infantrymen and
two Red Cross workers, started tor
their comrades entangled in the wiies.
The Americans saw the Red Cross
brassards and did not fire or. the
party, which removed the bodie k
There has been increased sniping
activity along the whole of the Artif r
ican front during the last 24 hours.
One enemy post gave the Americans
special trouble during the night P ac
ing well-aimed bullets on certain
points of the line. After dayligh he
post still continued working fi-m
shell holes with periscopes. Amer'ran
snipers tried to silence the enemy
from their line, but were unsuccessful.-

A sniping patrol was then organ
ized by the Americans and wen. out
in broad daylight. The result of thts
expedition has not been reported r,
Today was. the warmest in many
weeks.. During last night and today
the Germans dropped mustard shells
in the rear of the line. .Three gas
alarms were given on the front within
a few hours. Owing to the quick
ness of the Americans in adjusting
their1 gas masks, the 'Shells did no
damage. v
On one end of the American line the
enemy laid Oown a barrage after hav
ing concentrated a rather heavy bom
bardment. -The American artillery put
up a counter-barrage as a precaution
asratnst a rad, but no raid developed.
While this was going on the enemy
dropped a score of gas shells on a
town directly in the rear, but the
noxious gas aid no damage. On the
other end of the line the American
gunners laid down a barrage on the
enemy line. All along the front the
American artillerists shelled the Ger
man front and second line and com
munication trenche's.
Better wea.her conditions brought
increased aerial activity. One or two
aerial encounters were reported, but
they had no definite results. The Am,
erican anti-i craft guns fired on nu
merous enemy planes, but they were
well out of range.
