Germans Fight for Narrow Field
PETROGRAD, April 9. (Via Lon
don.) With the Ruwlan force In
Ioiealon of all the main summits
and slopes of the Bqsktd mountains,
army officers here assert that the
(Austrian operations In the Carpath
ians have collapsed... The Russian
general staff now is considering the
test approach into Hungary.
The operations " centering about
Mezolaborct, including the important
points oi Eartreia, lupkow ana
!Us8oo, appear virtually to have
ended with the Austrian on the de
fenslre along the whole line and per
ceptibly weakened.
The deep anow which till ' cover the
Carpathian, ridges stand's In- the way of
St rapid advance Into Hungary. One this
Mlfflculty la overcome and the Russians

will b the artificial defenses whib It-is
assumed have been erected- '
The country between the ."an and I
fwrcsa rivers is, considered to provide the
Vest route. The Russian staff is of the
jplnton that the German already have
(transferred nit available troops from other
fronts to defend this region, . and ..that
therefor they will be unable to offer any
rnore formidable opposition than hereto

, On the other hand It Is expected that
the German answer to the Russian of

- LONDON, April 8. The compara
tive narrow strip of territory between
the rivers Mouse and Moselle In
France, where' the German wedge
has for months past been pressing
against the French liue. Is the scene
of some of the most Banguinar fight
ing of the war. '
A detailed statement by the French
war office gives, a summary of the
results attained by offensive recon
naisance' and attacks which the
allies hsve carried on since April 4,
with tbj object of forcing the Ger
ms wedge back and straightening
their own lines
heights dominating the Orne, a small
river running east and west.
Similarly, according to the pfficlal
statement,, the French have captured
the plateau commanding Combrea,
have occupied the southwestern part
of the AJU wood, where the Germans
were strongly entrenched, and have
gained nearly two miles on a five
mile front between the forests of
Montmare and Le Fretre.
The 'German war office seta up
counter claims of successes In this
region and declares that the French
have made virtually no progress,
being repulsed at various places.
The opposing forces are paying a
heavy price in killed amK wounded.
At Eparges, as an Illustration of the
German casualties, the French re
port the finding of 1,000 perman
dead on the field. ,
In that period of time there has
been a gain on a twelve-mile front,
to the northeast and east of Verdun
of frwui two-thirds of a mile to two
miles; two villages have been carried,
and the French have occupied the
Masf Meet All .Slavic Demands, j
From the first It ha been maintained
,here that the only terms Russia would
Consider would be the unqualified con
cession of all Slavic demands. - Russian
official never have conceived the possi
bility of such concessions . unless decisive
Ictory should be won by .the Slavic na
tion now at war. ' ' . . - ' .
Austria-Hungary the Bourse Gasette says:
"in the dust monarchy the role have
, Changed. At the outset the Hungarians
"were-for wan and for solidarity with,
Germany. Since the fall of Prsetnya! they
,hav been talking loudly of a speste
peace.' -1 ' w' r- .. .''
"The Austrian army, ea the contrary,
Insist on the war being continued, sines
they realise that Austria in any avo
will . have . to pay the price; Emperor
Francis Joseph has appealed to the pope
for aid in securing peace. When this la
discovered by the Austrian party a de
mand will be made that a second note be
aent annulling the first.' , -
"Austrian politicians showed Emperor
Francis Joseph that the Hungarian d
Ire. for pac was brought about by
Germany failure to- afford protection to
Hungary. Seeing disaster approaching
the. agitators desire to secure safety by
strengthening Hungary In the dual monarchy,
the theme of conversation. . From good '
sources it 1 known that the Serbians
ere in full accord with Russia. In !3ng
llsh political circles the idea has beet,
i received wtth sympathy, but with the
t understanding thst the demonds of Rus-
aiu wm aimv won a must be. rully sat-;
la fled. Russia, France and Great' Britain
are united in this conception of . peace
possibilities." .

April The old pouter
rlgeon type of British 'soldier with his1
ramrod deportment and feet at Impossi
ble angle 1 now as obsolete as his red
coat. This change Is evident not on.y In
the training of the new army, but in the
royal cadet schools at Sandhurst and
Woolwich. Alertness and aglltty. mental
and physical, are jiow aimed for instead
vt physical rigidity and mechanical pre
cision as In the old times.
Swedish exercise have taken the place
of conventional calisthenics. About the
only piece of apparatus left In the Sand

Parallel bars, rings, heavy dumbbells and

Now the cadet are taught what I known
In their slang as monkey tricks, such a
walking on top of a high and narrow
stone wall and Jumping safely' to the
ground, ' skipping the rope and playing
various kinds of game.
One reason why the pouter chest has
gone out of style Is its menace to health.'

LONDON, March JO. "Almost the only
faces with ths army on which the strain
of their experience visibly written are
those of the motorcyclist dispatch rid

writer adding, "I should give themvall
the Victoria Cross."
To ride for months at a high rate of
speed over cobble pavement of an ex

strain, but this is Increased many fold
by the responsibilities and dangers which
are the daily lot of the dispatch rider.

British Steamship Theseus is
Chased by German Submarine
LTYBnPOOLi April . :1S a. m.-Ths
oaptatn of the Blue Funnel tine steamer
Theseus, Which left Liverpool March T
for Java, ha ennt bsok a mport of an
xeUIng chase by a German submarine.
The Theseus managed to make Its escape,
but It was damaged by shell fire from
the submersible.
March J9 at 7 o'clock In the morning
tb Theseus sighted the submarine at a
point forty mile outhwest of Bishop
Rook lighthouse. The submarine, sig
naled It to stop and abandon ship, but
this order was Ignored and the Theseus
put on full steam and started slg-sagglrvg
on Its course. The submarine opened
fire and continued throwing shells at
the Theseus at Intervals. The chase con
tinued until 10.30. when the submarine
abandoned the pursuit and appeared to
turn Its attention to a small steamer fly
ing the Norwr alan flag.
Of the seven explosive shell fired by
the three-Inch gun on the submarine,
five struck the Theseus and' did consid
erable damaae.' The main must waa
badly ret and the quarters of the fire
men on the poop were wrecked.
The distance covered by the chase was
about' rtfty-eeven mile. The Theseu
maintained a speed of about seventeen
knot. From time to time It fired ex
plosive distress signals In the hop of
attracting the attention of British war
ships. The captain Is of the opinion that
had tt not 'been for the rough sea the
submarine would have overhauled him.
No member of the crew of the Theeeua
was Injured. 'All the damage to the vis

"That is the reason I said to a
