PROGRESS OF THE WAR
Faeerness for War Appears To
Have Notably Increased In
Italy and Bulgaria

was predicted. The immensely of the
triumph began to be appreciated
when it was learned that $4,000 pris-
oners had been taken. and that even
a larger number of Russians would
be released for fighting on other
fronts. Immediately after the city
surrendered the Russians commenced
to advance VIGOROUSLY in the Car
pathians. and there isa more or less
definite rumor that they have
achieved a decisive success in at least
one of the mountain passes.
Eagerness for var appears to have
notably increased throughout Italy,
while Bulgaria, which at n time
was rather inclined toward the leu
tonic allies, is said to be planning a
raid against Adrianople. This, of
course, would align Bulgaria with
England, France and Russia. 1t
would seem as if the Germans must
achieve an immediate success of some
kind if they are to pervent n or
more of the Balkan nations and Italy
from getting into the a
Przemysl fell on March " when
the Austrians began blowing up
their forts. Negotiations for the
formal surrender proceeded through
out the day, and the city was turned
over to the Russians on March %, al
though they had already occupied a
number of the Notifications. The
fall was due more to famine than to
fighting. 1t had been expected that
Przemysl could hold out for a year
on its food supply. but the garrison
was increased when the town wa
partially relieved last Fall. and at
the same time the Austrian armies
in the field, being short of supplies.
drew on Przemysl. The result was
that the city was forced to yield in
about six months after the original
commencement of the siege.
Except for the battle in the Car
pathians and the expulsion of the
Russians from Memel, the week has
been quiet on the eastern front. The
Russians seem to have undertaken
the raid to Memel for the purpose
of drawing German forces away
from strategic points of greater i'm
portance, and also to make reprisal
upon the Germans for the burning
of Russian villages. The Russians
plundered Memel and burned many
buildings, and then retired when a
German army appeared.
In the western theater of war the
only pronounced activity has been
in Alsace, where the French have
been trying to retake a mountain top
recently captured by the Germans.
The French have just announced
their success in this movement.
Last Sunday German Zeppelins
made a raid over Paris. They
dropped a number of bombs in some
of the populace suburbs, doing con-
siderable damage and causing some
loss of life. They do not appear to
have accomplished anything of mill
tary significance. Air raids by both
the Allies and the Germans have
been frequent in the last week or
ten days. aeroplanes being used for
the purpose.
Several more English boats have
been sunk by German submarines,
but the record of one day which was
attained two and three weeks age
has not been kept up. Meantime the
English have captured or sunk four
or five ships bound to Germany with
supplies. The German submarines
have turned their attention to Dutch
ships plying between Holland and
England. These ships carry fooG
supplies to England, and the Ger
mans consider it necessary. if they
are to enforce their blockade. to cut
off this source of supply. Naturally
the Netherlands government is very
much agitated by the departure
from international law and has lodged
q protest at Berlin.
The sinking of three and the dam
aging of two other warships by the
Dardanelles forts and Turkish mines
seems to have made the Anglo-French
commanders exceedingly cautious,
Very few commandments have been
undertaken in the last week and only
at the longest possible ranges. Mean
