LITTLE ACTION ON FRONT
Haig's Report Mentions Nothing Ex-
cept Fertile Raid in Hebuterne Dis
trict-Infantry is Inactive.

London, May 3.-Field Marshal
Haig's report from headquarters says {:
"a raid which the enemy attempted
In the neighborhood of Hebuterne was
repuls /. Except for the usual artil-
lery activity on both sides there is
nothing TO report"
The German artillery became active
in the Villers-BretOnneuN sector on
the Amiens front, and in the neighbOr-
hood of Morris, on the Flanders front,
1t is announced officially.
The statement reads:
"The enemy's artillery developed
considerable activity in the Nillers-
RretonneuX sector and in the neigh
bOrhood of Morris. Some activity was
shown also during the night in the
ArraS. Lens and ST Venant sectors.
No infantry action is reported"
The best Indication of the enemy de-
feat in northern Flanders, in the view
of London newspapers, is the evident
immenence of "a renewal of the peace
offensive. The German papers en-
phasize the report that the pope is
about to issue new peace note. while
the German peace agents are busy in
neutral countries. Articles, in the
Scandinavian press suggest that Italy
may he the main objective of the enc
my attempts to divide the allies.
Meanwhile. the troubles of the Aus
trian empire are apparently coming TO
q head. The cabinet crises in Austria
and Hungary are still unsettled.
The Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna. de-
nOunceS Hungary for starving Austria
and declares that imports from the
Ukraine are still remote, and empty
StOmachS cannot afford to await. The
arrival of CZechO-SlOvak troops on the
Italian front, under the Italian flag,
has disquieted the AustrO Hungarian
leaders, who fear the effect on their
Slav troops.
Recently, some of these men persu-
AIDED a number of Austrian CZechs to
desert, which the Italian barrage be-
tween the Austrian support and the
front lines enabled them to do.
An English correspondent on the
Swiss frontier has received informa-
ton that the populations of Austria
and Hungary are starving and seeth-
ing with revolt, which he predicts,
will break out when the western Of
fenSive has been brought to a stand
still.

the woodpeckers all beat the drums.
OF course great deal of the time they
work hard at the trees, burrowing for
insects and they help destroy many
bad ones.
But some time before Mr.. Hairy
Woodpecker had suggested they should
start a band. They did and these
were the members of the band. The
drums were played by Mr.. Hairy
Woodpecker, Mr.. Red-Headed Wood
pecker, Mr.. Downy Woodpeck6r Mr..
Sapsucker, Mr. Crested Woodpecker
and Mr.. Flicker Woodpecker.
Those who sang and helped along
the chorus and played little mouth or
gans and various Instruments made
out Of twigs were the wartlers, the
vireos. goldfinches, mocking-bfrds, bob
olinks, chickadees, pewees, phOebes,
orioles, thrushes, song sparrows and
whippoorwills. And of course. almost
the most important of all, were the
robins
Mr.. Robin Redbreast was the leader
Of the band. He waved a little stick
in front of the band stand, which was
up In tree.
How they all did play and sing. Now
In great many bands, in fact in most
bands, they do not have singing, but
in the Woodpeckers band It IS eenffFeTy
different
What would a band be like in bird
land without singing? They would
miss all the beautiful songsters who
would add so much music, and that
would be such a pity.
So the woodpeckers were wise in
deed when they asked the song birds to
join in the band.
Such a practice as they did have!
1t was their very first one of all, and
of course there were many mistakes
made.
Mr. Robin Redbreast made them
practice certain parts over and over

DESERTI0NS HINT
AUSTRIAN BREAK
Slavic OBJECTIONS indicate Dual
Monarchy Near Collapse.

Washington, May 3.-The news from

ern SIav troops are deserving To the
Italians and Emperor Charles report
ed efforts to obtain peace suggest that
at last diplomatic policy has been
reached, or is at least indicu,ed.
which threatens the breaking up of
Austria.
The revolution in Russia for year
has dominated allied-and more par
ticularly Neutrality-suspicious. which
sought a similar revolution of ecOnO-
mic inspiration and proceeding on
class lines in the central powers and
more particularly in Austria, but the
revolution which actually impends in
Austria is based on radical and not
economic divisions.
The deSertiOn of Slavic troops to
Italy has been expected by the Slav
representatives in Washington ever
since the agreement was reached be-
tween Signor Tore and the JugO Slav
representatives in London, an agree
ment which the English appear TO
have fostered Before that the Aus
trian Slavs fought firmly against Italy,
although they habitually deserted to
Russia and to Serbia, often entering
the service OF AustfIas SIdvfc ERE
mics. Austrian Slavs who deserted
to Russia are now reaching Salonika
by way of Vladivostok and entering
service there with the SerfianS.
The peoples of these races have
hitherto fought Italy because they re-
garded Italy, with its ambitions to
Slavic territory in the northern Adri-
attic, as an enemy of their national
aspirations. The Tore agreement
which may turn out to be one of the
great diplomatic developments of the
war, composes the differences between
the Jugo SIavs and Italy. The deser-
lions are the natural consequence.

Washington, May "a warning was
sounded by the food administration
that unless there is a more rigid econ

meat it may be necessary to restore
meatlesS days to the menu.
According to food administration
officials. the reasonal decline in the
volume of animals coming to market

pected gradually to decline during the
next few months, and it is desired that
