One of Monsters Firing on Paris Definitely Known to Have.
 Been Destroyed

Paris. May 4.--News has just been re- ceived from the front that a French gun made direct hit yesterday on one of the long range German cannon with which Paris is being bombarded, and put it out of action.
 Deputy LeBourca returned to Paris from the battle front last evening and confirmed the report that one of the Ger man supercannon had been destroyed He said:
 T was with the battery yesterday which fired the lucky shot. One of these guns exploded some three weeks age Another was hit 10 days ago It is i'm possible to say yet if this latter gun was the one destroyed yesterday.
 The success shows the great skill of our gunners, as the odds against di- rect hit are enormous.

This, However, Was Not Followed by Infantry Ad-
 vance, as Expected
ENEMY OFFENSIVE IN FLANDERS STILL
 BEING POSTPONED
No Change Is Reported on SOmme Front-British Defeat Turks in
 Palestine
By Associated Press

Austria Hungary supplies some of the most important itemjs of current news, with critical economic and political situ[ation officially conceded to be Mveloping at home just as heI armies at the front are /about to be launched in a new attack on Italy.
 The crisis in Vienna is marked by the dismissal of the Austrian Parlia- ment by the Emperor's order and the declaration that forcible measures would be taken to make resumption of it's session impossible. A statement issued makes it clear that the gov ernment was embarrassed by the di- visions in the legislative body over the grave food situation and the vari- ous racial grievances in the Austrian body polite and desired a free hand in the next few months.
 Such drastic action taken in the face of the unrest throughout Austria Hungary as the result of the wars pri- vations and the ever-recurring racial differences, will cause the development of the situation in the dual monarchy to be followed with the keenest interest. GERMAN OFFENSIVE IN
 l FLANDERS AT STANDSTILL J reported Emperor Charles leaving for Athe front and have announced greatly Mncreased activity along the Austro- Italian lines, where a renewal of the Teutonic offensive has long been threatened. The Rome official state ! ment does not give like picture of Hthe front line activities. but records in tensive aerial operations with the en- tente airmen evidently having the bet ttac of the encounters and bringing Town 14 enemy machines.
 I The German offensive in Flanders has joeen held up now for virtually five fdays since the enemy waves last dashed against the rock-ribbed defcnses of the British ard French early last week. and the Yrres line stood firm under the attack. General Won Arnim evil idently has been forced into this inactiv- gity by the severity of his losses and the ' time necessary to marshal new forces for fresh blow.
 Concededly, however, the enemy has fresh troops for thrust of even great CT power, if he thinks it advisable to employ them here, and there have been indications for the last few days that lie was preparing to do so.

 BILL ID THE LAST.
These Are Only Democrats Who Vote Against the Measure on Final
 Passage

Washington, May 4.-Protrnctcd con- tion bill providing severe penalties for disioyal nets nnd utterances, and those interfering with Liberty Loans, and the army draft, ended late today in adoption of the conference report on the measure by a vote of 47 to P. Ap- provaI of the confcrees' agreement by the house next week will send the bill to President Wilson.
 Opponents of the measure who have contented tha. freedom of speech and of the press would be curtailed lost their fight to strike out a clause giving the Postmaster General authority to with hold mail believed to violate the espion- age laws and to restore the France amendment excepting from the law truthful statements made with good mo- tives
 The bill was initiated a year ago and provided maximum penalties of 20 years imprisonment and N0000 fine or both for a wide variety of disloyal acts. It amends the espionage act and, with the woman spy bill recently passed, com pletes the cycle of legislation urged by the department of justice as necessary to clothe the government with power to deal with seldition and disloyalty and prevent mob violence which has resulted in the departments inability to secure convictions of persons making disloyal utterances.
 That it Is unconstitutional, too drastic and confers too wide discretion upon ad- ministrative officials have been the prin- cipal arguments of those opposing it.
 The final vote today was along non partisan lines. Two democrats. Senators Hardwick of Georgia and Reed of Mis- souri, joined with 24 republicans in op- posing the bill.
