Evidence Of Huns, Defe..

London. May ?. via OttawaL-The
best indication Of the enemy defeat in
northern Flanders. in the view of
London newspapers, is the evident i'm
minence of a renewal Of the peace
offensive The German papers en-
phasize the report that the pope is
about to issue a new peace note,
while the German peace agents are
busy in neutral countries. Articles in
the scandinavian press suggest that
Italy may be the main objective of
the enemy attempts to divide the
allies.
Meanwhile the troubles Of the
Austrian empire are apparently COM
ing to a head. The cabinet crises in
Austria and Hungary are still un-
settied- The arrival Of Czech-Slovak
troops on the Italian front, under the
Italian nag, has disquieted the Austro-
Hungarian leaders, who fear the ef-
feet on their Slav troops. Recently
some OF these men persuaded a num-
Der OF Austrian Czechs to desert
An English correspondent on the
Swiss frontier has received informa-
ton that the populations Of Austria
and Hungary z starving and seeth-
ing With revolt, which. he predicts,
will break out when the western Of
fendve has been brought to a stand
still.

The courier-index., 1918-05-03

last week sold out a remuneratiVe
business. invested $4,000 in Liberty
Bonds. and enlisted in the aviation
service at Ebberts field, Lonoke.
These two men represent the ex-
IRENE types, and to the credit or
the state be it said that the Stacker
is in the minority.
There are many instances of great
sacrifice, such as the Lafayette
county woman who withdrew her
total savings of $500 for years. and
invested every dollar in, Liberty
Bonds.
And those who have followed the
experience of Canada and other
countries who have sent their men
to the front to face steel and lead
for the flag, know that we are, only
beginning to make the sacrifices and
to experience the hearta-ches that
must come soon when the brunt OF
German frightfulness falls upon the
khaki clad heroes of America.

THRILLING EVENTS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIRECTORS
REPORT SOME OF THEIR Ex-
PERiENcEs A6RoAD-MANY IN
SERVICE NOW.

New York, April 26.-The report
of the board of directors of the AS
sociated Press tells of the experien-
ces of some Associated Press men in
the foreign service. and in making
this part public the board authorizes
the insertion in, parenthesis of the
names of the men concerned.
The report in part follows:
"In earlier reports we have en-
deavored to summarize. briefly, the
most important news events of the
year. We make no such attempt this
year. There have been months dur
ing which more opoch-making news
has developed than during some pre-
vious years. and all newspaper men
must wonder whether we will ever
return to former standards of news
value. Nor do we enlarge in this re-
port upon the news gathering achieve
ments of the organization. With
these achievements have come many
inevitable disappointments. Overtax-
ed cables. muddled censorships and
similar exigencies have often upset
our plans and frequently neutralized
the resourcefulness of our staff. Yet
we have incomparably the most COM
prehensive machinery for collecting
and distributing news that the world
has ever known.
"Of our men abroad. we greatly ac-
knowledge our appreciation. Torpe-
does and mines at sea and shot and
shell on land have held no fear for
them. Their escapes amid dangers
have been countless. One Drank NJ

through a glass door by the Halifax
explosion, but before dressing his
wounds was resourceful enough to
find in a demolished building the
terminus of the cable to the west
Indies. and by way of Bermuda and
Havana to New York, the first direct
message out of Halifax came. Such
incidents are not unusual in the serv-
ice of the organization.
