INFANT CAN OPERATE
GREATEST HOWITZER
Weapon That With Four Shote Won
Fort Vaux For Fraince--
Nothinp Can Withstand
One of the greatest erltinvenienta
of the French. engineers is a 400mit1.
(16 -in.) howitzer. It was this gun
which set fire to I)ouaumont Fort, and
four shells, representing considerably
over a hundredweight of melinite,
made Fort Vaux so uncomfortable
that the Germans quickly evacuated
it. It took the French more than a,
year to perfect the 400mm,, but the
time was well spent. ]:very artilly-
man who has seen it is enthusiastic
about its marvellous power, grace, and
lightness. An infant could operate it.
When the first lot of these gigantic
howitzers were ready it was decided
to test them in the presence of the
President of the Republic and a die-
tinguished company of high artillery
experts. Special melinito shells were
prepared capable of scooping out
holes bigger than volcano craters.
'In a military camp very strictly guard-
ed a test fortress was erected, formed
of reinforced concrete strengthened
with steel rails, armor plates, and
oak sleepers as hard as stone.
The Supreme Test
It seemed as if it was intended.. to
last forever, To make it more secure
the fort was buttressed with bags of
&?and. Subterranean chambers were
hollowed out in the rock and p1•o•
te,cted by special steel plates.
In a word, the stronghold against
which the demon 1 owitzer was to
match its force was the latest
thing in defensive art. If this super-
fort could not stand up against
the new weapon, declared the ex-
perts, nothing could. All inhabitants
within the concussion area were warn-
ed to leave open their windows within
certain hours, otherwise there would
be a big bill for broken glass. After
M. Poincare and his suite had ar-
rived the signal to fire was given.
Fortress Vanished !
With a roar like that of an express
train passing through a tunnel at full
speed the gigantic shell flew on its
Mission of destruction. There was a
tremendous report as the missile
struck the specially constructed tar-
get, and then the President and his
guests got into motor cars and went
off to see the fort, which those who
had built it declared would resist all
the shells of the world. They were
wrong.
When the official cortege reached
the spot the fort had vanished. Where
it stood was a profound and immense
excavation strewn with pulverized
and twisted debris. Sandbags had
been projectedhundreds of yards
away, and the rails used to strengthen
the cement were picked up almost
as far away.
TANK "SHAMMING DEAD"
Waking Up When Surrounded by the
Germans
The British tanks in Picardy aro a
subject of intense interest for the
French people. They read with ut-
most satisfaction in the Paris news-
papers that at the battle on the Ancre,
when confronted by an intricate maze
of eleven rows of barbed wire, the
"Devil's Delight" ambled up to them
with a shambling gait, lowered its
head, and went through them as if
they had been so much maccaroni.
Another tank whose gear -went
wrong at a critical moment was assail-
ed by the Huns with rifles, bombs, and
mortars. Its crew closed the port
holes and the tank sat back on its
"hunkers," while the enemy host
swarmed round it and placed bombs
underneath its ugly frame. Not a
sound came from the interior of the
disdainful monster. The enemy sap-
pers, convinced that everybody inside
was dead, brought up jacks and
levers and attempted to overturn the
mastodon.
A Prussian colonel, beside himself
with rage at the ineffectual efforts of
his men, discharged eight harmless
shots from his revolver at the tank.
When the enemy were thickly crowd-
ed round it, the brute unmasked its
machine guns on every side and did
terrible havoc. When reinforcements
of our men arrived the ground all
round the tank was strewed with
German dead.

BRITISH "DASH" LAUDED
Swift Victories Through Water to
Men's Waists
Describing a British advance the
special correspondent of the Matin of
Paris on the British front says: At
the moment of assault the men cross
the marshy ground. At some places
the water is up to their waist, but
they go on all the same. Their dash
is magnificent. Five lines of trenches
to be carried first, then the heights
and villages overlooking the river to
be taken by sheer force and to be held
-such is the objective.
In an hour five lines of trenches
taken; a division carries one of them
-the four line -in eighteen minutes.
In the centre and on the right, es-
pecially, everything yields before the
formidable push of the Tommies.
The enemy, surprieed, defends him-
self badly. In the ravine, however,
a nest of machine guns and mortars
offers the assailant a desperate re-
sistance. British grenades soon get
the better of them. Saint Pierre
taken at eight o'clock; at nine o'clock
Beaumont Hamel falls.
Poisoned Candies s
The Bucharest Press published ar.
ticles denouncing the German and
Bulgarian airmen 'who, with their
bombs, dropped candy containing
poison and infectious germs. The
authorities took the necessary meas-
ures.
' The Irish Association of Volunteer
Training Corps, which did valuable
work during the rebellion, when sev-
eral of its members were killed, was
dissolved later.
"Our Day" collection in Cuba for
the British Red Cross amounted to
more than. $15,000.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF' WITH FINGERS
Telfa ltow to looms son a tender corn
or oailus so it lifts out
without pain.
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited au awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told ley a Cincinnati authotity
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are appliu d
to any corn or callus the soreness le
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers,
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tiesue or
skin, A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores but will positively rid one'e feet
of every bard or soft corn or bardeued

freezone he can go tit at any wholesale

Morris
It was with sadness that it was learned
that Trooper Manson Taylors, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Taylor, Morris, had been
killed in action in France. This news
corning so soon after the bright, cheery
letter, appearing in these columns a couple
of weeks ago, adds to the distress of many
who read with interest of his doings at the
battle front. To his parents is extended
mush sympathy, and while it may be but
little relief this, their hour of anguish, yet
they have the satisfaction of knowing that
their own flesh and blood did not fail at
Lite call of King and Country and that the
last great sacrifice was trade that Right
may prevail throughout the vrorld.-Blyth
