LION ON THE RAMPAGE.

II is sait! that the elder Pitt died
shortly after hearing the result OF
tha battle Of Austerlitz, in whmIi
Napoleon achieved the greatest VIC
tory Of his career. The Kaiser may
not give up the ghost after learning
of the facts in connection with the
latest British drive on the western
front. but the breaking Of the fam
Gus Hindenburg line will send cn1!iS
down the backs OF naughty IeuionS
who had been told that the line WAS
inyulnerable and German soldiers n
yincible.
The fact that the Italians are
moving down Austrians and Ter
mans in the latter's drive OH Venice
lis also calculated to send shuddsrs
over the Hapsburg as well as the
people of Austria-illmgary who haze
long since tired of the war.
Despite the continuation hf the
storm on the British battlefront Inc
British troops and tanks are st:h
pushing forward.
The heavy blow dealt the Germans
has driven a wide wedge through

is every evidence Of the -('ermans
