French Gunners
 Destroy German
 Bombing Cannon
CRv Review t,eased wire)


 PARIS, May 4.-Deputy Charles DebOucq returned to Paris from the battle front last evening and confirmed the report that one of the German super cannon had been destroyed. He said:
 "I was with the battery yestar- day which fired the lucky shot. The fog which had interferred with observations during the last few days had cleared, our fire could be rectified and the target was hit
 "One of these guns exploded Some three weeks ago. Another was hit ten days ago. It is im- possible to say yet if this latter gun was the one destroyed yester- day. Photographs taken of the gun positions have not yet been developed.
 This success shows the great skill of our gunners as the odds against a direct hit are enormous. It shows also the great courage and endurance of our men as they remain night and day beside their guns and suffer severe losses"

BERLIN, (via London), May A. There was much artillery activity on the battle front in France, but, ac- cording to the official report from gen. eral headquarters today the situation was without change.
 The statement says:
 The situation is unchanged on the battle fronts. The artillery activity was spirited on various sectors throughout the night In the Kemmel region and on both sides of the Avre it increased this morning to greater intensity.
 "A British patrol attack southeast of Arras was repulsed. The artillery activity revived before Verdun.
 After unsuccessful reconnoitering thrusts by the enemy on the Lorraine front, the fighting activity during the forenoon was slight. At Parroy Wood and west of Blamont the firing revived during the afternoon but died down again at nightfall.
 Aviator Active
 Yesterday we shot down 25 enemy airplanes and two captive balloons. Lieutenant Buckley achieved his 33rd aerial vicvtory and Lieutenant Putter his 22nd.
 Finland has been cleared of enomy units. German troops in cooperation with Finnish battalions attacked the enemy between Lakhu and Tevasthus in an encircling movement and in a five days battle. in spite of a bitter defense and desperate attempts to break through we have overwhelming ly defeated him. The Finnish forces cut of his retreat in a nor1herly di- rection. The enemy is closed in on every side. and after the heaviest losses, is laying down his arms. We took 10000 prisoners. Thousands of vehicles and horses were captured"

 Austria Hungary supplies some of the most important items of the cur rent news, with a critical economic and political situation officially con- ceded to be developng at home just as her sImies at the front are appar- ently 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 a resumption of its sessions impossible. A state ment issued makes it clear that the government was embarrassed by the divisions in the legislature body over the grave situation and the various radical grievances in the Austrian body-politic and desires a free hand in the next few months.
 Latins Expel Drive
 SHuch drastic action, taken in the face of the unrest throughout Aus tria-Hungary as the result of the war s privations and the overcoming rac- ial differences, will cause the develop ment of the situation in the dual mon archy to be followed with the kee9est interest.
 Meanwhile, Vienna dispatches have reported Emperor Charles leaving for the front and have announced greatly increased 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 a like picture of the front line activities. but records intensive aerial operations with the entente airmen evidently having the better of the encounters and bring ing down fourteen enemy machines.
 Hun ogeensive Held Up
 The German offensive ill Flanders has been held up now for virtually five days since the enemy waves last dashed against the rock-ribbed defense of the British and French early last week, and the Ypres line stood firm under the attack. General Von Arnim evidently has been forced into this in activity by the severity of his losses and the time necessary to marshal new forces for a fresh blow.
 Concededly, however, the enemy has fresh troops for a thrust of even greater power. if he thinks it advis- able to employ them here. and there have been indications for the last day or two that that he was preparing to do so.
 One such hind of an impending thrust developed Saturday morning when the German artillery began vio- lently to pound the FrancO-British line from Locre to the south of Yprcs. where his main effort of April % vas made. The bombardment was not especially followed up by an attack. however. as was the case last Monday.
 Allied Line Stronger
 Meanwhile there has been a strengthening of the allied defense at important points along both the north ern and southern sides of the Lys salient The French have thus coop erated successfully in the Locrc Ie- zion. which is one of the main o5- jective points of the Germans as an

CANNOT FEED GERMANS

LONDON. May 4.-The straits to which Austria has been driven by the food situation is indicated in a dis patch from Vienna via Zurch. which says that Dr. Von Seydler. the Aus tIian premier, has been compelled to admit that Austria is unable to feed the peoples of northern Tyrol and northern Bohemia, and that he has, therefore. consented that the former be attached for the provisioning puF- poses to Bavaria and the latter to SaXony.
 This concession. the dispatch adds, was wrested from him by leaders of the German parties after a conference lasting six hours. The, Austrian gov ernment yielded with the greatest re luctance for the political consequences of this concession may be far reacn- ing. It is pointeS out that it will ac- centuate the feud between the Ger man and non-German races in Aus tria- Hungary. since both the provinces affected are German-speaking and will strengthen the agitation of the incor- poration of Austria in German fedora ton.

The house is expect ed to agree to the report next week.
 Opponents of the measure who have contended that freedom of speech and the press would be curtailed lost their fight to strike out clause giving the postmaster general authority to with hold mail believed to violate the espionage laws and to restore the France amendment excepting from the law truthful statements made with good motives.
 Penalties Severe
 The bill was initiated year ago and provides maximum penalties of 20 years imprisonment and a $10.00O fine or both for wide variety of disloyal acts It amends the espionage act an dwith the woman spy bill recently passed. completes the cycle of legislation urged by the department of justice as necessary to clothe the government with power to deal with sedition and disloyalty and prevent mob violence, which has resulted from the departments inability to secure convictions Of persons making disloyal utterances.
