Deadly struuuIe In the passes.

London.-The Germans are pouring
reinforcements into Hungary to sup
port the Austrian armies, which are be-
ing hard pressed by the Russians in
the passes of the Carpat1ian Noun
tains, and are also, according to dis
patches from Holland, again sending
men from Belgium to strengthen their
eastern front, where the Russians have
taken the offensive.
The battle in the Carpathians con-
tinues by night and day. The Rus
slams, who are being continually rein
forced, are making desperate efforts to
force Uzsok and Lupkow Passes, and
upon the success of these operations
their army, which is on the Hungarian
side of Dukla, is waiting before con-
tinuing its advance.
Seemingly the Russians have had
considerable success, for the official
reports announce the repulse of Aus
trian attacks near Mezolaborcz which
/ is due south of Lupkow Pass and west
of Uzsok Pass, and continued progress
in the region Of the latter pass and
west of Uzsok Pass, and continued
progress in the region of the latter
pass despite the stubborn resistance
of the Austrians.
On April l the Russians claim to
have taken prisoner 100 officers and
1000 men and to have captured 10 ma.
chine guns.
Austrian correspondents view this
onslaught with misgiving, and in their
dispatches give it precedence over the
battle In Bukowina, where the Aus
trians few days ago took the of
fensive and penetrated into Bess
arabia, but have since. according tC
Russian reports, been defeated.
There is no change In Poland, bu

NEW PROTESTS
TO CARRANZA
U. S. Backs Up Charge of ViO-
Iating the Flag.
TAMPICO SITUATION GRAVE
carranza's Attention Called To IndIs-
crinninate Firing BY His Troops On
OIL Tanks-15o,ooo Barrels
OF OIL Lost.

Washington. - The United States
government has renewed Its represent
tations to General Carranza to obtain
respect for foreign flags recently vio-
lated at Manzanillo, asking that he In
struct his officers there to afford pro
lection to foreigners and their inter
ests.
In the first note sent to General
Carranza a consular report was trans
mitted stating that the British and
American flags had been violated by
lawless Carranza troops. The facts
were denied by Carranza and addition
al data has now been laid before him
at Vera Cruz with a reference to the
requests made in the first communica-
ton. To this no reply has been re-
ceived.
A separate communication was sent
to General Carranza calling his atten-
ton to the indiscriminate firing by his
troops on the oil tanks in the vicinity
Of Tampico, 10000 barrels of oil al
ready having been lost as a result of
perforations made by bullets penetrat-
ing the oil tanks.
Conditions in the Tampico district
give officials much concern. State
Department dispatches said "the food
situation at Tampico is growing
worse, about 300 Americans are de-
sirous of returning to the United
States and fighting still continues al
Ebano." The dispatches add that the
"oil operators are organizing for the
purpose of buying corn in the United
States for local distribution, which
will be disposed of at cost In order tc
relieve the situation"
From Manzanillo and the city oi
Colima came reports of further law
lessness. Conditions at other points
on the west coast of Mexico were de
scribed as follows:
"A column of Carranzistas has beer
routed while on it's way to Guada
lajara. Seven hundred troops from
Hermosillo have arrived at Guaymas
Many stores at Guaymas are closed OIL
account of existing political condi
tlons. Acapulco and Maxatlan ar
quiet"
The State Department received
dispatch from Zacatecas confirming
the report that Gen. Isabel Robles, sec
retary of war to Gen. Eulalio Cutter
req, had Surrendered, on April l, al
of his command, machine guns, am
munition and equipment to Genera
Villas forces near Camacho."

Desperate Battle In Lupkow-Uszok
ResIon-Remnant OF Austrian
Invaders OF BukowIna Forced
To RoumanIan Border.

Petrograd.-By almost superhuman
efforts, the Russians between the Lup-
kOw and UsZok passes have driven the
Austrians backward upon the heights
and have seized the railway leading
through Vola Michova and Lupkow
southwark into Hungary. according to
dispatches received here.
The fighting was particularly bitter
near Vola Michova, where the Aus
trians held strong positions in the
heights, protected by rows Of trenches
on the hillsides and wire entangle-
ments. To the east of VIOLA Michovar
an Austro-German force is being
pressed backward in the direction OF
Uszok.
The Lupkow-U -Uszok region lie now
the scene of the most desperate fight
ing. South of the Dulka Pass, where
the Russians are entrenched in the
foothills, the Austrians have aban-
doned their attacks. Both sides ap
parently are awaiting the result Of the
great combat for possession Of the
Lupkow and Uszok Passes.
The remnants of the Austrian force
that invaded Russian Bessarabia
north of Bukowina. is being forced
back upon the Rumanian border, part
of the Austrians having been annihi
lated. There is every prospect that
the retreating Austrians will be forced
to cross into Rumania and be interned
for the remainder Of the war.

Washington. - The United States

Great Britain announcing that it
could not admit either the right OF
the Allies or their claims for justi6-
cation in placing an embargo on all
commercial intercourse between Ger

"To admit it," says the communica-
ton, would be to assume an attitude
Of unneutrality toward the present
enemies of Great Britain which would
be obviously inconsistent with the
solemn obligations of this Government
in the present circumstances; and fol-
Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and sci
at naught the principles for which
she has consistently and earnestly con
tended in other times and circum

Employees Of interstate railways do

In signalling to one engine Trout
stepped from car just in front of q
shifting engine that was backing. The
facts were admitted and that Trout

pressly exempts all employees who come
within the provisions Of the Federal
Compensation laws, and the commits
sion had no choice but to dismiss the
claim of the father for lack Of juris-

There is less talk in England of the

ing. This leads to the belief in some
quarters that the leaders of the allied
armies in the west, reckoning on the

only to hold their ground in the belief
that the Russians will succeed in in
vading Hungary. ultimately to join
hands with the allied forces working

their opponents regard as the weakest
