British and French cruisers, accord
ing to advices received here have
taken from Italian mail steamers
2,300 bags ot' German mall addressed
abroad and containing letters, post
ards, money, ?. eeks and small pack
ages.
Bans coining from ?broad intend

the same way and ebnllscated. That

stood, was taken in response to Ger
many's submarine war against non
combatant merchant and passenger
shills.
French Have Double Purpose.
London, April 10. The French,
with the capture of Les Eparges,
have obtained one of the main ob
jects of their advance southeastward
from Verdun. The position ?it I^es
Eparges dominates the plains of the
Woe vre, and its occupation by the
French is announced officially. Pro
gress from Verdun means heavier
pressure on the northern Hank of
the Germans holding st. Mihiel,
while the southern (lank is threat
ened hy the French advance between
Poat-a-Mousson and the .Meuse.
In the southern part of this field ol*
operations the Germans are deliver
lng almost continuous counter at
tacks. They have made fifteen as
saults on one point.
lt is evident that the French aro
not only attempting to capture St.
Mihiel. which always has been a dan
ger point since its wedge was driven
into the line of the allies, ton at the
same time seeking to aid Russia by |
preventing the withdrawal of Ger
man troops for the relief of the hard
pressed Austrian and German forces
in the Carpathians.
Rumors that Austria is about to
' conclude a separate peace grow lu
! number and persistency every day.
These are accompanied by evidences
that Italy is showing Increased un
easiness over the situation.
French Defended, Say Germans.
Berlin. April 10. -The German
war office report to-day reads:
"Engagements between the Meuse
and tlie Moselle continued yesterday
with undiminished violence.
"No engagement bas taken place
near the towns of Fromezey and
Coussainville, which the French re
port as having been taken by them.
Both these places are situated far in '
front of the Herman lines.
"Between the River Onie and the
j bights of the Meuse the French
?were severely defeated. Al] the
i French attacks from the heights of j
i Contbres, north of St. Mihiel, and on
the Ailly-Apreniont front near Flirey j
I have been repulsed. Near Flirey, In
consequence of former heavy French j
losses, the fighting yesterday was
less violent.
"Further attacks on the Roenien- '
linville front and in the forest of 1.*' ,
, Pelre and thc attempt to conquer j
Bezange la Grande, southwest of ?
Chateau Salines, resulted In failure.
I "Five Belgian officers and 122 sol
diers; two French officers and in I
soldiers were taken prisoner by us,
! together with seven machine guns.
"In the Vosges there has been no
chango.
"Russian attacks to the east and
south of Kalvarya have hoon repuls
ed with heavy losses to the Russians.
Otherwise the situation on the east
ern front shows no change."
London's Resume of Events.
London, April 10.--Austria is re
ported in dispatches from Switzer
land to have abandoned her cam
paign against Serbia for the sake of
sending additional troops to the Ital
ian frontier. It is reported from thc
same source that Vienna bas decided
to sound Russia as to peace terms.
The official organ of the Vatican de
nies a report that Austria bas re
quested the Pope's assistance lu such
negotiations.
Russia is said to nave made im
portant captures of guns and war
munitions In the Carpathians. What
is represented as information from
the Austrian general staff ls that In
the battle along the Dukla-Ejcrles
front the Austrians lost 20,000 men.
Poplar agitation in Italy concern
ing that country's attitude has in
creased to a point which has necessi
tated energetic action to prevent dis
orders. The factions for and against
war have arranged mass meetings
for to-morrow, which their leaders
say wiW be held In spite of a police
prohibition.
A French sailing vessel, from Lon
don for Now York, has been sunk by
a German submarine off the Isle of
Wight. The Germans allowed the
crew ten minutes to quit their vessel
and all were saved. A wrecked
British schooner has been sighted off
tho American coast and ls believed to
have been attacked by a German war
ship several weeks ago.

slain* aro advancing successfully
along a wide front between Bartfeld
and l/.sok, descending the southern
slope of the Carpathians and press
ing back the Austrians. In the
Dukin region also the Russians are
said to have routed th- Austrians,
forcing (hem to abandon stores and
transports in their retreat.
Frame reports continued progress
in the Argonne and beyond Hie Me
use, bul admits that the German
counter attacks have been exceeding
ly fierce. At Eparges the French
have no' advanced beyond the posi
tions they captured April !t. Paris
admit? also that tho (.lennans have
recovered soino lost ground be
tween Pont-a-Mousson and St.
Miliiel. Along the line between the
Oise and thc Aisne, where compara
tive quiet bas prevailed for several
weeks, lighting hs reported, hut there
are no indications as to its extent or
result.
Interest in the near eastern situa
tion has been stimulated hy two spe
cial dispatches. One declares the re
cent misson to Berlin of Field Mar
shal Von der Clot/, was instigated hy
the Young Turks, who have declared
that Germany must send a strong
force to invade Serbia and threaten
Bulgaria in ordo: that munitions of
war might he sent to Turkey. Tile
o'lier quotes the Bulgarian prime
minister as saying a situation has
boen brought about by the actions of
i he allies in the east in which Bul
garia Bees a possibility of realizing
her national aspirations.
Russian Repulse Reported.
Vienna, April li:. An official
statement on the war situation, given
out in Vienna to-day. reads:
"The general situation is without
change. In Russian Poland and in
Western Galicia there have been ar
tillery engagements, in the Carpa
thians, especially in the district east
of 1'zsok Pass, several Russian at
tacks have been repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy. We took 830
prisoners. in Southeastern Galicia
and in Bukowina there have been
several artillery engagements."
Wayfarer Torpedoed.
London. April Iii.-The Harrison
line steamer Wayfarer has been tor
pedoed by i Herman submarine while
Off the Sicily Islands.
Although considerably damaged,
the crew managed to keep her afloat.
She was taken in tow and reached
Queenstown this afternoon.
The British steamer Wayfarer was
505 feet long, and registered (5,222
tons. She was built in Belfast in
1903 and was owned in Liverpool.
She left Calveston January 27th for
Liverpool, where she arrived Febru
ary 17.
Balked hy Dardanelles.
Chanak Kalessl, Dardanelles,
March 13.- (By Correspondence. ) -
First efforts ol the British and
French to force the Dardanelles
demonstrated that this task is far
more difficult than at first supposed,
according to Turkish opinion. Heavy
bombardments on March tl and 7 of
t'be defense works near this town
and Kalid Bahr, and futile attempts
to clear the channel of mines the
night of March 10 and 11, show that
the waterway is hotter defended than
British and French authorities may
have thought. For the last six days
the works guarding entrance to the
inner Dardanelles have not been
bombarded, and during the last two
nights no serious attempt at mino
clearing has been made.
Little Gained hy Allies.
While it is true that the allies
have silenced the forts at Kunkale
and Sidd-El-Bahr, and twa minor
positions near there, lt would be fal
lacious lo assume that this lessened
materially the proportions of the al
lies' task. Kunkale and Sldd-El
Bahr wore reduced easily, because
it was possible to take them under
enfilade lire, but the allies gained
little by this. To-day Turkish in
fantry holds the ground about the
silenced batteries. An attempt on
J March 1 to occupy Kunkale and
Sidd-El-Bahr ended In the rout of a
landing party, of whom 70 or KO
were killed and others drowned. The
losses of the Turks wero at Sidd-El
Bahr, 1 killed. 14 wounded; at Kun
kale, 2 killed, and 2 1 wounded.
French Steamer Torpedoed.
Plymouth, April 12.-The French
steamer Fried ric Franck was tonie
doed off Start Point, In the English
Channel, Sunday, but -was towed into
Plymouth by government tugs. No
lives were lost.
Allied Drive to Begin Soon,
landon, April Kl. -Field Marshal
Sir John French's message to his
countrymen at home that "I know
when the Hine comes for us to make
our great ino^ . wo can break
through tho Hermans," and the
British eye-witnesses' statement that
there are plain signs of the "gradual
weakening of the Gorman resist
ance," are accepted here as an Inti
mation that tho present steady pres
sure on the western front shortly will
develop Into events of vaster scope.
It is expected that tho next three
months will be especially memorable
In this epoch-making war.
.Military writers believe the re
ported French successes between tho
Meuse and tilt Moselle- an Import
ant region between tito rival for
tresses ot' Verdun and Metz-have
given a promising opening for the
spring campaign. They regard lt as
the signal for the llnal offensive
which has been awaiting thc arrival
of adequate accumulations Of tuen,
equipment and supplies.
Suspension of Infantry lighting in
this all-important Verdun district
has been quickly ended, as was ex
pected, by the gallant German at
tempt lo recapture the position of
Les Hpargos, possession of which
enabled Gen. Joffre to give another
twist to the screw ol' the vise where
with he hopes to grip the German
position of St. M th lei, the bastion
like projection Into the French Hue
which thc invaders have held tena
ciously for so many months.
In the Carpathians.
Thc Russian offensive In the Car
pathians continues to meei a strenu
ous defense by the combined Teu
tonic armies, and although it appears
to be slowly winning its way for
ward toward the plains of Hungary
it has encountered enormous dllll
cultles.
To relieve Mic pressure on the
Russians ls an additional reason for
the activity of their allies in the
West.
The German attack near the Prus
sian frontier has been resumed, and
another battle is in progress for pos
session of the important Russian
fortress of Ossosvetz. Recen! aban
donment of the siege of this for
tress had been Interpreted In Petro
grad as meaning the Germans bad
given up hope Of advancing on War
saw from the north.
Five Independent Austrian armies
are operating along the Carpathian
front. Petrograd seinl-ofilcial dis
patches say these various units are
under direction of i he German gene
ral staff, and thal Emperor William
personally is supervising tho staff's
plans.
in Bukowina heavy lighting is itt
progress, a cording to a Bucharest
dispatch to Paris. Ol two Austrian
armored trains which advanced
against thc Russians yesterday, one
is said to have been blown up and
the ot IHM- forced to withdraw after
bein;; damaged.
French Repulsed.
Berlin. April -The French
assoit they dropped 150 bombs on
the railway station and near tho
beach at Ostend and on ti foundry at
Bruges. As a matter of fact niuo
bombs fell in Ibo neighborhood of
Ostend and two In 'Bruges without
doing any damage. In return we
dropped numerous bombs during the
last night on Ute villages of Poper
Inghe, l lazebrouek and Kassel,
which are occupied hy British
troops.
At Bergebat French troops pene
trated into one ol' our trenches dur
ing the night, but were immediately
repulsed. An attack by aviators of
the enemy in tho region to the cast
of Rheims resulted in failure To tho
northeast of Suippo shells develop
ing asphyxiating gases again were
used against us.
Between the Meuse and the Mo
selle the French continued their at
tack tit certain places with great
fierceness, but without success.
Three ?Hacks during thc early morn
ing at 'Maizercy, near Verdun, broke
down under our fire wit'h very heavy
losses. Attacks wero commenced
during the afternoon and evening at
Marchoville, southeast of Mai/.erey,
during which the enemy brought up
strong columns. They came to an
end with the same result.
