Baxter, last surviving: of ficer on the staff of Admiral Farrasut. died at his home in this city today at the age of S3 years. .

He served as an officer in the American Navy throughout the Civil War. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES EN FRANCE, Jan. 17. via London, Jan. 18. (From a staff correspondent of the Associated Press.) In the gray half light of late mid-Winter dawn and In the swirl of a cloud-like snow storm which had lasted through the night, a Canadian contingent of the British troops raided nearly 1000 yards of the German trenches north of Arras this morning. BeBides Inflicting heavy losses they came back with 100 prison ers, one of them being a company com mander and former assistant professor of chemistry at Strassburg. As a raid, today's attack established a record for the proceedings In the Somme sector In the last week, which netted 300 prisoners In what have been classed in the official communications as "minor operations." The booty today included two machine guns, which were found chained to the ground and one trench mortar. The Germans have been using these mortars in lively fashion against the Canadians recently and while it required a great effort to drag it back over the snow covered No Man's Land, the capture of this particular weapon gave the greatest satisfaction. Artillery Gives Shelter. This was the second daylight raid carried out north of Arras by the Cana dians, the first resulting in the cap ture of 60 prisoners. It was marked by many . of the same features that characterize all such daring and sua cessful undertakings, except In this In stance there was no marked Increase In the preliminary bombardment, for the guns, which had been going steadily for eight days in this neighborhood had cut to ribbons the protective barbed wire entanglements. It was Just after dawn that the British barrage began to feep over nearly 400 yards of No Man's Land that separated the front trenches. As it formed this curtain fhteld of bursting shells the Canadians went "over the top." On either flank a smoke barrage had been flung out. Thus sheltered by the artillery, the Canadians trudged forward almost iral'.y through the snow. It was like a touch of home for them. They en countered comparatively little resist ftnee and a light machine gun fire and in little more than an hour they had cleaned out two lines of trenches and returned to their own lines with their prisoners and booty. , British Losses Light. The British losses were exceedingly light and all the caualtiea were brought home. The prisoners were mostly Sllesians and Poles,"one of them having been a waiter In a popular . London hotel before the war. The Germans may have suspected that an attack was imminent from the heavy arm fire of the past week, for their assembly trenches were well filled, a fact which helped to swell the numbers of the prisoners taken. The raiding troops were somewhat chagrined when they were told that the German corps commander was In the trenches all day yesterday, leaving last night. "Some wise old Teuton, said a Cana' rtian captain. "We should like to have pinched him. COSTLY HABITS BLAMED AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANCE SCORED BY SENATOR M 'CUMBER. I'nquenchable Demand for Amusement Is I nderniining S tardiness of Youth, Says Opponent of Embargo.' t WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Profligacy end extravagance of the American peo pie In pursuing pleasure were con' ileraned in the Senate today by Senator JUccumber, of North Dakota, in oppos ing proposals for an embargo on food products. The high cost of living, he taid, was largely due to American ex .' travagaace, citing figures to show that Americans spend 13.000.000,000 annu ally for liquor, tobacco, automobiles and "other amusements." This revelry In extravagant habits.' lie said, "the unquenchable demand for nmusements. for continuous mental in toxicants, is undermining the sturdiness of our younger generation. The Amer ican people seem obsessed with the idea that the main thing In life is amusement, play, entertainment." An embargo on food, in view of pres ent prices of farm labor and articles used on the farm, in addition to land values, would be most unjust and class discrimination, he declared.

Charge d' Affaires In Cuba Refuses ' to Turn ;Ovcr Office. HAVANA. Jan. 18. Manuel Morlllo. Dominican charge d'affaires in Cuba. today received a cablegram signed by Captain Chandler, of the American Ma rine, said to be acting as Secretary of Foreign Relations of the military gov ernment established in Santo Domingo. removing him from office and ordering him to turn over the archives of his department to the honorary Vice-Consul of Santo Domingo in Havana. Senor Morlllo declares he will refuse to obey this order and will not recog nize the American military authorities. The Dominican press association has named Morilio as its representative in Havana with Instructions to carry on a programme of publicity against the ac tions of tire American Government In Santo Domingo. plans for early withdrawal of Per shing's expedition and demobilisation of the National Guard. Officials here have insisted it was impossible to get a definite date for the troop movements because of the uncertainty of transportation facili ties and because the situation is con stantly changing. It has been Indi cated clearly, however, that unless there was some unexpected develop ment Pershing's withdrawal and the return of the . Guardsmen would be ordered within a few days, possibly by the end of this week. . The reports on Villa's new cam paign apparently have not disturbed this determination, but they operate to hold up' orders pending a more thorough Investigation. Army offi cers contend that the Pershing force would be in a better military posi tion if withdrawn and regrouped, but they strongly desire to locate the Villa forces more definitely first. Border dispatches today transmit ting rumors that the Guardsmen would be ordered home within five days, were heard by War Depastment officials without comment. It Is re sumed generally that the exact date will depend largely on General Funs ton's assessment of border conditions. nursing'and maintenanee'furnlshed shall be kept by the superintendent of the hospital, who shall present a bill of the same to the County Judge. This proposed bill is considered by many to be the most pressing of the child welfare bills before the present Legislature.
