REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been Flattered, But at Least He
Won One Vote. #

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, in excuslng himself from max
Ing speech on the ground that he was
no orator. told an amusing anecdote at
a luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. IL
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by nlluding frankly to his
lack of oratorical gifts. After he had
finished man pushed forward, grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said:
Senior, I've been lifelong oppo-
nent of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton I shall vote for you
THANK YOU" said Costa, much graf
flied. May I ask the particular rea-
son for your change of views?'
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that have heard tell
the TRUTH" was the reply. You said
when you began that you couldn't
make much of a speech, and by henv-
ems, senior, you can't

London, March 25.-"The ultimate
object of this rapid and intent enemy
advance is clearly the great strategic
point of Amiens,'' says the Times. and
though it is still remote, the situation
is sufficiently serious to warrant a con-
temptation of this catastrophe. The fall
of Amiens might have three-fold con-
sequences: 1t would bring the enemy
to a point from which to threaten our
northern line: it would assist them
to strike at the channel ports and 1t
would endanger seriously the safety OF

local gains for the Germans are ex
pected. A comparison of both allied

not in great peril and I see no reason
for pessimism.

States troops will be in action, but
hardly believe they are included in the

detachments aided the British in the
fighting Saturday, but the identity Of
the American units have not been
learned. 1t is possible that American
and French troops from the Chemin
Des Danes sector have moved up to
the Disc or north OF it, but more prob
able that American engineers with the
British army were concerned. Berlin
also has announced the capture of Ham,
between Peronne and Chauny, and
claims that the number Of prisoners
has been increased to $4,000.
There has been little except artillery
fire actively on the remainder of the
British front and on the French and
American sectors. The German artil-
lery fire has been violent along the
Chemin Des DANES in the Champagne
