BAKER REACHES FRANCE;
ON MILITARY MISSION
(Associated Praia Review.)
Secretary of War Baker, the ( firet
American cabinet officer to visit Eu
rope in an official capacity since the
United States entered the war, is now
in France for conferences with Gen.
Perching and an inspection of the
American troops and the poeition they
occupy on the front between Soissone

is purely military and has no diplo
matic significance.
On board an American cruiser. Sec
retary Baker and his party eluded Ger
man submarines and arrived yesterday
at a French seaport, whence he de
parted for Paris. After a few days in
the French capital, where he probably
will meet President Poincare and Pre
mier Clemenceau, the secretary will
visit the American troops In the field.
Increased activity, especially In the
artillery, on the western front has not
yet resulted in any determined attack
by either of the opposing forces. The
Germans are more active on the British
and Belgian fronts than elsewhere.
Near Kippe, in Flanders, the Belgians
have driven the enemy from parts of
the trenches he took several days ago.
Recent German attacks on the British
lines In the Ypres area were checked
through British knowledge of enemy
plans, gatnea irom aoscriors and pris
oners. The t .emy Intended to take Im
portant positions south of HouthoUt
forest, but heavy British artillery fire
prevented a major effort and the strong
defense threw DacK tne strong local at
tacks the Germans carried out.
On the American sector northwest of
Toul the artillery and t: i aerial activ
ity has Increased. American gunners
have shelled effectively various enemy
targets opposite the American trenches.
The German reply was without result.
German airplanes have attacked Amer
ican trenches with machine gun Are,
while French gunners brought down an
enemy airplane within the American
lines.
Progress Is being made by the. Brit
ish armies in Mesopotamia and PnU's
tine. KIghty miles west of Bngdad on
the Euphrates river the British have
occupied Hit. the Turks retiring with
out opposition. Advancing northward
in Palestine, Oen. Allenby's forces have
gained ground Immediately west of the
Jordan and along both sides of the
Jernsalem-Nabulus road. The Turks
resisted strongly in both places. On
the Jcrusolem-Nabulus road the Brit
Ish advance was two or three miles oh
a front of thirteen mites.
I enlng even after the shnd which used to
seek Its shores hitd deserted the naarby
river channel. Two bin shipyards, com
pleted about that time by Noiwenliui in
terests," were immediately commandeered
by the United States government. They
are. now turning out ships for the mer
chant fleet, 85 per cent, of which has
been contracted for In Delaware ship- I
yards. !
Hundreds of prosperous workmen in
need of housing accommodations caused
a boom In Gloucester real estate.
Woatherbeaten taverns, facing the wide
river, were renovated and a frontier-like
air of prosperity now permeates the
town. Officials hero believe Gloucester
will rapidly resume its former Impor
tance and prosperity.
Many active German officers are In
terned hero and are dully witnesses of
the work In the shipyards nearby. Most
of the prisoners are marine officers.
