EM B|G BHILt —A-....- MTE ailLION SOLDIERS' AI1IN TIE CARPATHIANS death grip is coming Russian Military Experts Declare In* ▼aalo* of Hungary is Preliminary Step to the Direct March to Berlin G«rmanic Empires Shift Men on Eastern Front. A Petrograd dispatch to the Lon don Morning Post says that the mili tary experts of the Russian press are divided in their opinion regarding the meaning of the present opera tions. The official military organ, Russky Invalid, for more than a month past has declared that as the Carpathian operations develop and after Hungary has been invaded the Russians will drive forward in an irresistible force upon the direct road to Berlin from Warsaw. The Novoe Vremya expert scouts this idea and points out that the iJrand Duke’s strategy has had one consistent aim from the outset of the war—namely, to reach Berlin by way of Vienna. This expert shows that the combined forces of Aus trians and Germans now arrayed against Russia from the Baltic to the frontiers of Roumania are not under 1,500,000 men. Moreover, the disposition of the forces, he says, has changed in the past couple of months. Some Aus trian troops were with the Germans in the Niemen-Vlstula raid. Between the lower Vistula and the Dunajec tributary of the upper Vistula the Austrians are now in the majority, and the Germans, mainly represented E>y a large artillery force, are concen trated especially on the northern sec tions of this front., chiefly on the Biura and generally against War saw. On the Carpathian front the further one looks the more numerous become the German forces. A new formation of German troops, which again have been withdrawn from the Franco-Belgian front, continues to move through Hungary. “It Is evident," says the expert, “that Germany, commanding the en tire military resources of both Ger manic empires, is preparing for a general attack along the whole strat egic front. Where men are fewer, the endeavor Is to be made by means of guns to supply their place, but the whole TOO or S00 milee will shortly be aflame from end to end. “The Grand Duke's strategy aims at the occupation of the rich plains of Hungary, with the double object of waging war at the enemy's expense and assisting to starve Germany, which has oeen deriving large sup plies from Hungary, Instead of strik ing at the German frontiers, which have been rendered aQ impregnable as human knowledge can make them. "The Russians are thus, little by little, cutting away all Germany’s supports until the moment is reached when Germany must stand bare and alone. A Anal effort will then bring the Germans toppling down. Rus sian strategy has turned all the Ger man plans for this war upside down. "A decisive battle may be expected very shortly. The German disposi tions are approaching completion in Bukowina and on the Nlemen. Dis plays of energy and diversions of bat tle will shortly be opened by Ger many. "If this . means anything beyond supposition," the Post’s correspond ent adds, “it means that the Germans hope to save the situation by an over whelming blow from the Czensto- chowa-Cracow front. In any case, the next few weeks must see the greatest battle in the world’s history, the numbers arrayed in arms against one another totalling 5,000,000 men, extended over 700 to 800 miles as the crow flies, but actually over 1,000 miles." MADE MUCH PROGRESS GAIKS IN THE CARPATHIANS RE VIEWED BY RUSSIA. Petrograd Tells of Enormous Gap* tnree Made Since March—Attack Developed Before Snows Melted. The official communication from general headquarters at Petrograd Sunday night said: “At the beginning of March In the principal chain of the Carpathians we held only the region of the Dukla passes, where our lines formed an ex terior angle. All other passes of Lupkow and farther east were in the hands of the enemy. “In view of this situation our armies were assigned the further task of developing, before the season of bad roads due to melting snows be gan, our position in the Carpathians which dominated the outlets into the Hungarian plains. “About the period indicated the great Austrian forces, which had been concentrated for the purpose of re lieving Przemysl, were in a position between Lupkow and Uzspk passes. It was for this section that our grand attack was planned. Our troops had to carry out a frontal attack under very difficult conditions of terrtain. To facilitate their attack therefore an auxiliary attack was decided on & front in the direction of Bartfeld, as far as Lupkow. “This secondary attack was open ed March 19 and was completely de veloped. “On March 23 and 28 our troops had already begun thefr principal at tack In the direction of Baligrod, en veloping the enemy's positions from west of Lupkow pass, and on the east, near the source of \he San. “The enemy opposed a most des perate resistance to our offensive. They had brought up every available man on the front from the direction of Bartfeld as far as Uzsok pass, in cluding even German troops and numbers of cavalrymen lighting• on foot. The enemy's effectives on this front exceeded 300 battalions. (An Austrian or German battalion num bers 1,000 men.) Moreover our troops had to overcome great nat ural difficulties at every step." "Nevertheless by April 5, that is, 18 days after the opening of our of fensive—the bravery of our troops enabled up to complete the task as signed and we had seised the prin cipal chain of the Carpathians on s front between Reghotev and Volosate of 110 versts (about 75 miles). ^ "The fighting subsequently has been Iq the nature of actions in de tail Intended to consolidate the soc- TURKS LOOSE TORPEDO BOAT.

According to the Turkish report seven of the submarine crew are missing. On Saturday night the admiralty reported "the transport Manitqu,. car rying British troops, was attacked by a Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegean this morning. “The Turkish boat fired three tor pedoes at the transport, all of which missed their mark. Tho torpedo boat then made off, but was chased by the British cruiser Minerva and British torpedo boat destroyers and was finally run aground and, destroy ed on tho coast of, Chios in Kalam- mutl hay.

Further, we have captured 300 guns and 200 machine guns. “On April 16 the actions in tbs Carpathians were concentrated In the direction of Roetolkl. The enemy, despite the enormous loeeee suffered, delivered in the course of thet day no less than 1< attacks In great strength. These attacks, all of which were ab solutely barren of result, were made sgahut the heights we havo occupied further to the east of Telopotch. “Our troops during the night of April lt-17, after a despermtb fight, stormed and captured a height to the southeast of the village of Podeo, where we took many prisoners. Three counter-attacks delivered by the ene my against this height were repulacd. “In the other sections, all along the front, there has been no change." DOING SALVAGE WORK. Commander Irwin Iteports on Pres ence of Japaneee In Turtle Bay. Commander Noble Irwin, of the cruiser New Orleans, reported to the navy department Sunday that he had Investigated the Japanese activity in Turtle Bay, Lower California, and found no indications of other than salvage work on the stranded cruiser Asama. The commander’s report was sent by wireless to Admiral Howard, com manding tho Pacific fleet, who tele graphed it to Secretary Daniels as follows: “The Asama still aground In San Bartolome Bay. “ Only other, vessel present one repair ship and two col liers. No indications of other thr.n salving work." ( Secretary Daniels had called on Admiral Howard for a special report In view of press dispatches telling of a squadron of foreign warships in Turtle Bay, of a large Japchese camp ashore and of mines in the harbor. The Asama has bben aground In the secluded Mexican haven since December, and reports Indicated that the presence of other ships aiding in getting her afloat was being made the excuse for tho establishment of a per manent base of operations. The Japanese embassy issued a statement declaring the operations were solely for salvage purposes, and Gen. Cantu, military governor of Lower California, telegraphed the Villa authorities that the Japanese activities were limited to.najving tho Asama. DEFEND FORMER CHIEF DISEASE IN SERBIA THREE MADERO MINISTERS AO- RELIEF COMMISSION REPORTS CUBE HUERTA AGAIN. OVER 25,OOO OASES. ASK FOK INTERVENTION MISSIONARIES WANT U. 8. AID > FOR THE CHINESE. Say Ex-President Must Retain Re- Doctors Fear Epidemic of Other Six Thousand Dollar Cable CaUsPrse- sponsibility of Murder Original <5 . Stories Discounted? ' & • Until-Gen. Huerta unseals his lips and clears up the question of #ho was responsible for the death of Francisco Madero, it will be impos sible for the law-abiding and peaceful citizens of Mexico to accept him as their leader or spokesman, says a signed statement issued in New York by three former ministers in Madero’s cabinet. They are Pedro Lascurain, Rafael L. Hernandez and Ernesto Ma dero. The statement was issued in reply to one by Gen. Huerta in which he denied responsibility for Madero’s “execution,” said he knew who was responsible, but was keeping it as the "professional secret" of a soldier. “On the day following the murder of President Madero,” reads the minis ters’ statement, “Huerta through his man, Mr. Delakarra, explained it as the result of ,a fight between the es cort that was taking Mr. Madero to the prison and bis own followers who tried to rescue him. Some time af terward one of the Huerta ministers, Mr. Lozanq, said that the truth was that Mr. Madero had been assassinat ed bx Felix Diaz. Now Huorta, re jecting explicitly both official expla nations, speaks of some professional secret that he can not reveal. "We are now compelled to express our profound admiration for the not able reticence which leads Mr. Huerta to endure further undeeerved odium for the reputed responsibility for President Madero’s death, when by only a word he could prove not only his complete innocence, but his his toric greatness. Unfortunately, the bond of honor which he says seals his lips makes it impossible, until this matter is fully cleared up, for the law-abiding and peaceduvtug of Mexico to accept Mr. .Huerta as their leader or spokesman." Gen. Huerta’s attacks on the Ma dero government as declared in the statement to be “false and slander ous.” His various charges that Ma dero brought on the revolution which placed him in power, through the help of liberated crtmiaals, that he annihilated the Union, destroyed the credit of the country, prostituted the discipline of the array and dissipated the surplus of the treasury are taken in detail and conn tar charges made In refutation. "At the time that Huerta treacher ously overturned the Mcdero govern ment Mexico was well nigh pacified," the three former ministers daclars. "Thera was only ons source of nnreet, and If the civil war started again and has continued for moro than two years, that must be attributed to Huerta’s usurpation of power “It Is falsa that the Madoro admin istration annihilated tbs National Union. At ths time of tho downfall of that administration, ths govsru- ment dominated the whole country, controlled all Its ports, both maritime and those of the border, all the rail roads. and every state of the republic was repressnted In congress. Anni hilation of our union erme as a result of the treason that culminated in Mr. Huertr.’a rise to power, because hon est men who could not approve of such usurpation of ths presidency re volted agalncl the usurper and the country was again thrown into un rest. “The statement made by Huerta that the Madero government prosti tuted the discipline of the Mexican army Is surprising from tho lips of the man that as the head of the army committed treason against the gov ernment which appointed him for its defense.” Fevers—Cholera Looked for With Warmer Spring Weather. © Thf Rockefeller Foundation has made public the first installment of the report of the Rockefeller Founda tion War Relief Commission concern ing conditions in Serbia. The head of the commission is Dr, Wickliffe Rose of New York. In pprt the In stallment reads: "At the present time typhus, ty phoid, and recurrent fover are epi demic in Serbia. Smallpox and scar let fever are also present in some communities. Cholera is expected with the warmer weather of spring. "Serbia knows from experience the terror of these diseases; but with all her energies concentrated on a war for her existence, with her physicians and her men of strength and promi nence in the army, with her re sources exhausted and lacking ade quate leadership for the aanltary emergency, she can do little to save’ herself. “It is safe to say that the three epidemic diseases are distributed throughout the country. We found all three of these diseases in the com munities we visited and in all the larger hospitals. In Nish an English physician stated that it was his belief that a hundred patients were dying of typhus daily. One day during the visit of this commission it was re ported that the cemetery at Nish con-1 talned 250 unburied bodies of typhus victims, the force of grave diggers being unablo to keep up with the work. j “In Belgrade in one hospital were 165 cases of typhus, with a larger ag gregate number In several other hos-’ pltale. “In Skopje Dr. Barrie, an English physician who has been in Skopje several tnonMis at thwheatl of a medi cal, mission of the British Red Cross, | estimated the number of typhus cases on February 24 at 2,000. "Valjevo, a town In that part of Serbia which was for a time held by the Austrian army, is reported to be ths most serious centre of the epi-| demlc of typhus. The people who ’ fled from the invading ermiee are said to have found their homee gen- I erally Infected on their return. Sub stantially the entire civilian popula tion there are Involved in the dis- ^ 'up "Without medical care, with no di rection or reeourcen for eettlng on foot sanitary measure*, remote and helpleen, the population is being deci mated. while the epidemic spreads la rapidly widening circles. Every com munity on main lines of travel la in' the dutches of typhus. "Into the mountain places and the rillagee distant from the railroads' ths disease Is being carried by the moving troops and bullock drivers end by the sy-aw-Uaed carts in which the tick and well ere transported, and it la said to be prevalent in most of them already. j "The Serbian government Is ab sorbed In the conduct of the war; its usual staff of civil employees is loo much depleted by the demands of the, military service for it to turn atten tion to the gathering of statistics, but estimates based on inadequate In formation place the total number of typhus cases in Serbia gt 26,000 to 30.U00. While these figures must not be regarded as other than largely conjectural, we heard no one express an opinion that they are seriously in excess of the truth." DIVER CAUGHT IN LINES. Forced to Remain Under 230 Feet of Water for Four Hours. While working at a depth of 220 feet outside the harbor of Honolulu *whoro attempts are being made to raise the submarine F-4, Diver Wil liam F. Loughman became entangled in lines attached to the boat Satur day, but was released after heroic efforts lasting nearly four hours. At last reports Loughman was be ing brought slowly to the surface and was resting at a. depth of 90 feet to avoid too rapid a change of air pres sure. Loughman was towered shortly af ter 10 a. m., and was being brought to the surface when ho became en tangled. Diver Frank Crilly who re cently made a record for deep sea div ing was hastily sent down to aid Loughman. Both divers worked strenuously to disengage tho lines to the submarine from the air tube and line attached to I.oughman’s appar atus. Finally Crilly signalled that Loughman was clear. Crilly. was brought uf) first, emerg ing a few minutes after 2 o’clock. It was said ho had suffered no serious effects, but was exhausted. Meat's Attention to Grave tlon for Esstera Republic. Intervention by tho United States In the negotiations now proceeding between China and Japan Is recom mended to President Wllaon in the appeal recently sent to him by Ameri can missionaries in China. The message waa 5,000 words long and was forwarded to Washington by cable. It characterizes the Japanese demands on China as acts of aggres sion such as eventually will present a menace to the United States. Re calling the fact that Japan has at present In this country double her usual quota of troops (amounting to 00,000 men) the missionaries urge that Japan bo notified that the excess of troops should be removed. The understanding is that a Chi nese official, or several of them, paid the cable charges, amounting to near ly 16,000, on the message to Presi dent Wilson. This communication was signed by the Rev. Messrs. E. W. Thwing, John Wherry, C. H. Fenn and W. A. P. Martin, all connected with the American Presbyterian Mis sion at Peking; the Rev. Chauncey Goodrich, of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, who is stationed at Tien Tsln; the Rev. H. W. Lowry, of the Methodist Episcopal Mission at Peking, and the Rev. C. F. Hubbard. There are in China several hundred American missionaries, of whom the great majority have not seen the mes sage. Some of them who were re quested to sign if declined The American Board recently requested Its missionaries to avoid public ex pression of opinion on political af faires and although It Is said the mis sionaries generally side with Chinn In the present controversy few of them Kkve been neflve poTUlcaiiy.

It Is suggested that Great Britain and oth er nations bo Invited to participate. The missionaries ask "that the gov ernments of both China and Japan ho aotlfiod that the presence of unusnal bodies of Japanese troops oa Chinese •oil not only embarrasses tbe free dom of necotlatlon. bnt constitutes an ontrage of tbe rights of Chinn and n serious menace to tho peace and safety of Americans and foreigners," end recommends that "ponding tho removal of excessive contingents of Jape ness troops ell negotiations should bo suspended.’* Declaring that "wo wish it under stood that we era not partisans," the message says: "Let it not be thought that Chian Is a republic only la name because of that autocratic powers et present vested In the president. The powers of his high office are wisely end patri otically exercised. The formalities end parade of kingly station ere nil avoided and advancement toward a more popular form of government Is vastly sealer than It would bo nnder Imperial rale." The memorial offers explanation of the shortcomings of the Chinese government. It de nounces "Japanese depression" ns "a danger not only to Chinn, but even tually to America.” and adda: "Shall we go on forever being fool ed by fair speeches mads at full-d banquets at the Japanese capital?"
