London, April 13.-With the capture
by the Russians of Hill 992 and the
rest of the main chain of mountains,
the battle of the Carpathians, which
has lasted upward Of eighty days, has
apparently come to an end over one
extensive front, for the Russians are
now moving by railways and roads
and along the rivers and streams
down the southern slopes on the
plains of Hungary. This movement,
II 1t continues successfully, will In
the view of the Russian military au-
thorities, compel the retirement, with
and Germans who are still north Of the
Carpathians to the east of Uzsok pass
and in eastern Galicia and Bukowina.
The battle which has been thus sue
cessfully conducted by the Russians,
was, from all accounts, one of the
fiercest of the war. and the manner
in which the Russians overcame the
difficulties of mountain fighting in
midwinter has been the subject of
praise by those who witnessed the
operations or are acquainted with the
country traversed.
The first phase Of the battle Of the
Woevre also apparently has come to
an end, and interest now centers on
the next move Of General Joffre, the
French commander, in his effort to
compel the Germans to release their
hold on st. Mihiel and that part of
the plain Woevre included in their
wedge.
German submarines have again
been showing activity and, besides the
Harpalyce which, according to one
member OF her crew and the officers
Of another steamer, was torpedoed
they have attacked since Saturday
night the British liner wayfarer, the
French steamer Frederic Franck and
the little steamer President. The
Wayfarer reached Queenstown in
sinking condition: the Frederic Franck
was towed into Plymouth, and the
President was still afloat when her
crew of ten left her.

Chicago, April William Hale
Thompson, Rep, was elected mayor
of Chicago by plurality of 139,3S9.
Returns from 1.400 precincts out Of
1866 indicated that he had carried the
entire Republican ticket to victory.
Women voted for the first time at
a mayoralty election in Chicago and
incomplete returns showed that the
relative percentages Of men and
women votes received by Thompson
and Robert Sweitzer. the defeated
Democratic candidate, were approx,
mately the same.
About eighty-five per cent OF the
75o,0 900 votes registered were cast. Ac-
cording to election officials this would
set a record.
Wards hitherto considered strongly
Democratic were carried by the Re-
publican candidate, and Sweitzer's
own precinct in the heart OF one OF
the West Side Democratic strong
holds. was carried by Thompson.
Sweitzer and his managers con-
ceded the election to the Republicans
early last evening and left their head
quarters.
Before going home. Sweitzer sent
his successful rival a telegram In
which he said: Congratulations on
your victory: It was conclusive

Newport News, Va, April 1.-THE
German converted cruiser Kronprinz
Wilhelm, the elusive raider of com.
merce in the south Atlantic, dashed
into this port Sunday and asked for
fuel and provisions. Many times re-
ported destroyed, the former North
German Lloyd liner had evaded hostile
warships for eight months while she
sent fourteen merchantmen to the bot
tom. Her officers said she was forced
to steal her way past four allied
cruisers off the Virginia capes to
reach this refuge.
I'VE got in without being seen by
the enemy and We can get out the
same way" declared her commander,
Capt. Paul Thierfelder formerly navi-
eating officer of the German cruiser
Karlsruhe, in statement.
When she dropped anchor the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm had less than twenty
five tons of coal and scanty provisions
for the crew of 500 men and sixty one
prisoners from British merchant ships
sunk in the south Atlantic.
OF the fourteen ships that the $4,000.
ton cruiser sunk, nine were British,
four French and one Norwegian. The
value Of these ships and their cargoes.
officers of the Wilhelm estimated at
$7,000,0O0.

Washington.-Coun Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, made public
the text OF the note he recently pre-.
sented to the State Department de-
claring that 'if the American people
desire to observe the neutrality they
will find means to stop the exclusive
expectation of arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as a
means TO uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, especially the trade in
foodstuffs."
The memorandum was prepared n.
the German embassy, and while 1t
does not call for a reply, the State
Department already has drafted one
which will be delivered probably with.
in the next few days.
The ambassador In his complaint
informs the United States that con.
trary to the real spirit OF neutrality,
an enormous new industry OF war ma.
terial OF every kind is being built up
In this country and that this is sup.
plying only Germany's enemies"
This fact" he says, is in no way
modified by the purely theoretical
willingness to furnish Germany as

1t also was rumored that Germany
had presented terms TO the United
States. to be transmitted to England
and France. Both Secretary Bryan

ambassador, denied there was any

ability and strength TO wage a worthy
fight for less than a week more.
From the beginning Edwin ID. Birch,
the night Lieutenant at the police sta
ton, has been among the leaders, but
today is the first time he has lead
the entire campaign. Mr. Birch is
well liked by all who have met him.

Another very popular candidate is
James c. McCulley of McMechen. who
is the second highest candidate today.
The Warrington representative.
Mrs. John Modi. who has been under
