No war correspondent, no novelist could possibly paint the vivid picture of the aw- full struggle for democracy that Arthur Guy Empey has painted in his intensely in- teresting book, "Over the Top"
 We have been selling this book for months now, but have never had sufficient quantity to fill all demands. We have just received a large number of copies and advertise them for the first time.
 Arthur Guy Empey's expe- riences are grim, but they are thrilling and frightened by a touch of humor as orig inal as the Soldiers Three" And these experiences are true.

GERMANS THROW
SHELLS into AM|ENS

On the French Front In France.
Wednesday. May S.--The German
artillery. under orders from the
Prussian and Bavarian crown princes
is doing It's utmost to turn Amiens
into another Rheims. Picardy's cap
itai already has suffered terribly
from. the German cannonading. and
every day adds to its suffering. The
correspondent today went all over
the abandoned city and observed the
effects OF the bombardment. which
has turned parts Of the town into
heaps OF ruins and killed so men
80 women and children. be-
sides wounding so men. 4s women
and 10 children before the popula-
tion had an opportunity to evacuate
the place.
Since the Germans have been with
in cannon shot OF Amiens they have
hurled no fewer than $500 shells,
mostly six-inch and eight-inch into
the city.
Every indication points to sys-
tematic effort to destroy the public
buildings. as the Catholic cathedral
has been struck by shells which have
pierced the roof and walls. This fol-
lows from the fact that no troops
whatever are In the city and the rail-
road passing through II is not In use.
The cannonade generally ceases at
nightfall, only to be replaced by air
raids. which occur almost every
night. Aerial torpedoes to the num-
Der of $50 have been launched from
airplanes upon various parts OF the
city.
