TWO THINGS THAT WERE NEW
Traveller Learned Something Concern Ing Delicate Surgical Operation

It-is Montreal physician wEao tells the following:
 Some time ago I happened to spend the night in country town in Eng land, and 1t happened that there was stopping at the same hotel an idner- ant eye specialist.
 ''We drifted into a conversation, and during the course of the evening he told me of some of the marvellous op- erations he had performed on the eye. One case in particular he spoke of that caused me considerable astonishment, for l didn't know, I confess, that the operation had been successfully per formed. He said he had recently talk en out patients eye, scraped the back of 1t and returned 1t to it's proper place. The patient, he said was never troubled by bad eyesight afterward.
 That was difficult operation. doc tor, I said.
 "'Yes,' said he, 1t was

 "'Yes, did, he admitted.
 "'What anesthetic did you use, doc torY persisted.
 "'Oh, well, unless you are familiar with such operations you probably wouldn't understand if I were to tell you. But-well, 1t was shaped some thing like spoon," explained the eni- nent specialist"

London. - South of Armentieres, according to the evening papers, the enemy having forced crossing over the Lave and Lys rivers, has develop ed an attack which may be dangerous. He is pushing generally westward The capture of Merville represents an advance of about seven miles over fiat country and under normal conditions would not be serious, but to the north the British are holding comparative iy narrow strip between their front and the coast, which contains very important railway functions, etc. Therefore an advance of several miles there is much more serious than twice that distance further south.
 The evening papers declare that the British army has again reached d definite crisis and the present situa- tion is undoubtedly unpleasant.
 General Haig's Report.
 Field Marshal Haig's report from headquarters in France says:
 Strong pressure has been main tained by the enemy all day south and southwest of Baillel. Constant at tacks in great force were made in this area and are continuing.
 Our troops have been pushed back slowly in continuous fighting to positions in the neighborhood of the Bailleil railroad where they are heaV- fly engaged with the enemy.
 Sharp fighting occurred also ou other parts of the battle front north of La Bassee canal and the enemy made slight progress between the Lave and Clarence rivers.
 "At other points our positions have been maintained On the remainder of the British front the position is unchanged
 More than 110 German divisions so far have been engaged since the morning of March 21 and more than 40 of them have been thrown into the battle two or three times."

AUSTRIAN FOREIGN
 MINISTER HAS QU|I
RESIGNATION OF COUNT CZER- MIN ACCEPTED BY EMPEROR
 BERLIN is BEHIND MOVE.
CLAIMS LETTER A FORGERY
Mssive Supposed To Have Been Writ ten By Austrian Ruler Recognizing Claims of France To AIsace-lor-
 raine Caused Indignation.

Amsterdam.-Count CZernin, the foreign minister, ac- cording to a dispatch from Vienna, has resigned. Emperor Charles accepted the resignation and entrusted Count Czernin with the conduct of foreign affairs until his successor is ap- pointed
 An official statement received here from Vienna asserts that the latest statements of the French premier, M. Clemenceau, concerning the conversa- tions between Austria and France re- garding the possibility of opening peace negotiations do not alter the sit uation as regards the majority of Count Czernin's declarations. The Austrian foreign ministry, the state ment says, is unable to ascertain who was responsible for delivering to the French what is said to have been a forged letter, substituted for the letter which was to have been delivered. Neither Prince Sixtus, whose charac- else is accused of Justification, con- tinues the statement, which con- cludes:
 "The affair is herewith declared to be at an end.'
 Count Czernin did not know of Elm peror Charles letter to Prince Sixtus when he made the statement that France had initiated the conversation with Austria, according to a Vienna dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin. On learning of the letter he resigned, but yielded to request that he remain in office until the conclu- sion of the peace agreement with Rou- mania.
 The recent publication by the French government of the futile peace appeal sent out by Emperor Charles, of Austria-Hungary in March, 1917, and the efforts of the emperor and the Austro-Hungarian foreign office to explain this letter to the satisfaction of Germany and the German chancel- lories and the foreign secretaries. However, his participation in the forced peace upon Russia as well as that upon Roumania, did not show that his actions kept step with his words.
 In the 'peace offensive" of the pres ent year Count Czernin in the Aus trian Reichsrath on January 25 sug- gested an exchange of views between Austria-Hungary and the United States He announced also that Aus tria based her negotiations with Rus sia on the policy of no annexations or indemnities, but there always was some doubt whether his pacifist man. euvers were honest or were inspired by Berlin in an effort to bring about a split among the entente allies.
 Count Czernin on April in an ad- dress at Vienna declared that Pre- mier Ciemenceau had sought peace ne- gotiations with Austria. The French premier replied that Count Czernin lied The French and Austrian for eign officers then issued statements explaining the unofficial negotiations in Switzerland.
 Early last week the French govern ment declared that Emperor Charles and Count Czernin both had said that the claim of France to Alsace-Lor- raine was just.
