Paris, Apr. 27. A description of
th destruction by French artillery
of on of the long range caAnon
with which the Germans have been
bombarding Paris Is published today
by the Petit Parislen.
"All the signs that Bertha (a
Prench nickname for the big Ger
man guns, referring to Bertha
Krupp), was going to Are had been
noticed. The smoke curtain had
gone up. All around there was a
chorus of loud reports. T'adoubted-
ly Bertha and a number of naval
guns would fire simultaneously to
disguise the whereabouts of the big
cannon.
- "After a short pause the firing
was resumed. This' time ten naval
guns supplied the' obllgato. Prench
air observers wer on the lookout,
however, and French- guns opened
fire In their turn.- The aviators
signalled quickly that the result of
th first aalvo was most promising.
Two heavy shells exploded 250 yards
north of the big gun, tearing up the
railroad tracks leading to the con
crete gun platform. -The firing waa
continued, getting closer and closer
until finally two enormous shells
went through the camouflage. Two
formidable explosions were heard
and the discomfited Germans saw
Bertha damaged beyond repair, with
a rent 50 feet long In the barrel.
The aviators reported that they
could see plainly through the camou
flage two gaps In the platform. -
"French gunners then set about
preparing to destroy the third Ber
tha but thus far they have not suc
ceeded,' during the small hours of
the night." . , j

Plghtlng contlnuea betwwn Han
grd and Vlllers-Brlttnoneux
London, Apr. 27. The loss of
Mount Kemmel evidently failed to
disorganise the allied reslstsnce In
the Yprea region. The allied line
has stiffened and held the enemy
everywhere.
The enemy has not gslned since
yesterday. - Military observers have
generally forerast the eventual
abandonment of th Ypres salient as
a result of th fall or Mt. Kemmel.
Should thla . become necessary the
loss of ML Kemmel haa not destroy
ed the defensive value of the atrlng
of hills westward, which are the
backbone of th Flanders position.
Meanwhile, the cost In men to
the German to win more tactical ad
vantage has been enormous. On the
Somm battlefront the allies have
been even more successful. The
German tenure of Hangard la pre
carious and already they hare lost
a position of the village.
