TALK ON PRIVATION,

Are claims of sacrifice all fibs?
| see around me men and danes
who have much fat upon their
ribs, and costly rags upon their
frames. Their silks and feathers
still they flaunt, and wear fine lids
upon their domes, and talk of how
the wolf of want is howling by their
humble homes. We eat as much as
in the times when peace was here,
with all its charms, before the
Prussians' beastly crimes led Uncle
Sam to take up arms And when
we've slowed away a steak, and
packed some pie and pudding down,
we think we've made some tyrant
quake because the bread we ate was
brown. The clothes we wear, it
seems to me, are just as gaudy as
they were before our boys went o. 'er
the sea to fill the air with German
fur We're just as keen to blow the
mon as though we hadn't any foes;
we take in every brand Of fun from
prize fights down TO movie shows.
We talk as though our souls were
set on putting Wilhelm on a crutch,
but have you seen a fellow yet who
looks as though he d suffered much?
Well talk of sacrifice, no doubt,
until the morn of peace has dawned;
and meanwhile every loyal scout
should miss no chance to buy a
bond

The dispatch, referring to the food

IAN oficial note published By the
Vienna newspapers shows the grav-
ity OF the food dificulties with which
Austria is struggling. This note
states that the stocks supplied by
the Rumanian harvests are entirely
exhausted and that wheat from Tx

fore the end Of the month. Under
these conditions the government

French CLAIM GERMAN
BIG GUN IS DESTROYED
Paris. Apr. 27.-Frsnch aviators
declare that French artillery has
destroyed one Of the German long
range guns.

Paris. Apr. 27.--A description OF
the destruction by French artillery
OF one OF the long range cannon
with which the Germans have been
bombarding Paris is published today
by the Petit Parisien.
IAN tho signs that Bertha Ia

man guns, referring to Bertha
krupp). was going to fire had been
noticed. The smoke curtain had
gone up. All around there was a
chorus OF loud reports. SUndoubted-
ly Bertha and number OF naval
guns would fire simultaneously to
disguise the whereabouts OF the big
cannon.
After short pause the firing
was resumed This time ten naval
guns supplied the obligato. French
mir observers we're on the lookout,
however, and French guns opened
fire In their turn. The aviators
signAlled quickly that the result OF
the first salvo was most promising.
Two heavy shells exploded ESQ yards
north Of the big gun. tearing up the
railroad tracks leading to the con-
crete gun platform. The firing was
continued, getting closer and closer
until finally two enormous shells
went through the camouflage. Two
formidable explosions we're heard
and the discomfited Germans saw
Bertha damaged beyond repair. with
a rent so feet long In the barrel.
The aviators reported that they
could see plainly through the camou-
flage two gaps In the platform.
French gunners then set about
to destroy the third Ber-
tina but thus far they have not sue
ceeded. during the small hours Of

this morning. The Gerrans had
taken advantage Of the respite to
relieve exhausted divisions. and
bring up strong reinforcements
with which they made q further e.
fort today to reach Amiens. In the
late hours Of the night the Germans
artillery became much more active.
Just as the enemy was about to
launch fresh infantry assault with
new divisions. the French made =
sudden attack, forestalling them.
The attack swept along the entirs
line from southwark Of villers-
Bretonneux to Hangard.
In the densest mist the French
units engaged made their way
through terrific barrage which re-
lentlessly battered roads. pathways.
woods and fields. Notwithstanding
the most determined Resistance By
the large forces Of German troops
which had been gathered for the At
tack they intended to make and had
to be driven back yard by yard. the
French within two hours established
themselves on great part Of the
lines from which they retired yes

Finally a portion Of Hangard VII
lage was taken by the French. The
enemy obstinately came back again
and again. launching at least half :
dozen of the most violent counter
attacks in the course Of the day but
always falling TO tiislodge the French
who held on like leeches. Every
wave Of German footmen was swept
back. each time with greatly dimin-
ished strength. In some instances
most Of the Germans were killed.
This evening the struggle is still
continuing with undiminished vio-
lence In the forest and village Of

twice and when night fell possss-
