In one of The Times special dis
patches the familiar tale of u man
who was able to perform great
public service only after he had over
come not only the intrisic difficulties
of hard task. but also the greater
difficulties created by the very peo-
PIE he wanted to serve. This time il
was an American officer who, months
and months ago became convinced
that there was no need to let the
Germans get the benefit obtainable
from the use of cannon larger than
any ordinarily used outside of per-
manently fixed positions--of fort
resses, in short. He knew that there
were such guns in the United States
and that they could be carried across
the Atlantic, and he believed that
they could be brought to bear on the
German lines of communication.

here for his plan, and the shipment
of the big guns was not easy. for they
made a troublesome and even dap<

carried them. But he did it. Landed
at last in a French port, more obsta-
Giles were encountered. The guns
were declared to be too heavy for
the French railways and too large to
go through the French tunnels. They
weren't, as the American officer at
last succeeded in proving, and now
the ponderous weapons are exactly

EX-EMPEROR Of
AUSTRIA PLEADS;
SEND Us FOOD
Charles Tells Associated Press
Correspondent That Hunger
May Bring Disorder and
BoISheVik Atrocities,

Vienna, Nov. "a Sunday by the
Associated Press) Declaring that
there is pressing need in Austria for
assistance from America and the al
lies, former Emperor Charles of Aus
tria Hungary insisted today that the
danger of Bolshevism is very great in
his country. it was in conversation
with a correspondent of the Associated
Press that the former sovereign told
of the peril which is impending.
The former emperor, his wife and
five children are Eckertsau CASTLE
With them are a few faithful men
and women, including Count AleXand-
er Esterhazy, former chief of court to
the emperor, and Naval Captain See
dank.
AS the correspondent entered the
gates he was met by Captain See
dank and conducted through lofty
hall to the second story of the castle,
where he was received by the former
emperor. Charles wore a generals
uniform and was apparently vigorous
but lines around his blue eyes gave
hints of the stress of recent days. He
appeared to feel keenly that great
tragedy has come through the collapse
of his empire, but he cordially greeted
the correspondent.
The former emperor spoke first in
English and then lapsed into French
II authorize the Associated Press
to say that not a single day should be
lost by America and the allies in help
ing the people here, so grave is the
y situation" he said. During the war
one of my preoccupations was the
task of obtaining food for the soldiers
and people, but now, Notwithstanding
all my efforts, it is most distressing to
find there is none left for them. If
America and the allies do not recognize
this fact, suffering here Will be very
great will hin a few weeks. Indeed, it
Is already so and every day we do not
use in the endeavor to get food Is
day lost.
I'VE have done orr best and more
cannot be done. If food and coal are
not brought, We shall have disorder
in Vienna. Possibly that disorder from
Russia which we call Bolshevism will
come. Looking back we may recall
Bolshevism started in Russia because
of the lack of food, | think it in the
interest of the allies to aid us, as Boil
shevism, when started, may spread
and become danger to the allies, too.
Regarding the future-I cannot
speak of the past-I can only repeat
that I feel did my duty. However |
do hope that peace will bring good
fortune, happier days and better
understanding among all peoples"
