nent improvement In business condi-

larging their activities. Part OF this
was due To increased demand and
part to an anticipation OF bigger busi-
ness.

tions, the city of Rheims, in which
large assemblings of troops and bat
teries were observed, has been bonn

machine guns. Two attempts to re-
capture the positions during the
night were repulsed
"A French infantry attack in the
Argonne forest, during which the

Austrian Defense in Carpa-

SNOW is MAIN OBSTACLE

Russians Said to Hold Main SUBMITS

With Better Weather Expect to
Hasten Invasion of Hungary.
Petrograd, April 10-With the Rus
sian forces in possession of all the
main SUBMITS and slopes of the Besk-
id mountains army officers here assert
that the Austrian operations in the
Carpathians have collapsed. The
Russian general staff is now consider.
ing the best approach into Hungary.
The operations centering about
Mezeloboroz, including the important
points of Bartfeld, Lupkow and Uz-
sok, appear virtually to have ended,
with the Austrians on the defensive
along the whole line, and perceptibly
weakening. The deep snow which
still covers the Carpathians ridges
stands in the way of rapid advance
into Hungary. once this difficulty is
overcome and the Russians reach the
southern slopes, where signs OF spring
are beginning to appear, the most Sc
rious obstacle to a further advance
will be the artificial defenses which ii
Is assumed have been erected.

they will be unable TO offer any more
formidable opposition than heretofore
On the other hand. it is expected
that the German answer to the Rus
sian offensive will be the development
of a new movement in Poland, start
ing from Thorn or Cracow But the
invasion of Hungary is regarded in
Petrograd as foregone conclusion,
unless the Germans are able to trans
fer a formidable force of first line
troops to stiffen the Austrian armies.
In view of these conditions talk of
separate peace for Austria-Hungary
has been revived. Such a possibility
is discussed widely In the Russian
press and in diplomatic circles. 1t is
based largely on the reported attempt
of Emperor Francis Joseph to enlist
the influence of the pope in this di-
rection
From the first il has been maintain.
ed here that the only terms Russia
will consider will be the unqualified
concession OF all Slavic demands.

Refugees at American Mis-
sion at Urumiah.
MANY BODIES UNBURIED

Menace So Great 1t Was Unsafe to
Leave Premises and Remains of
Those Who Succumbed Gould Not
Be Inferred Until Conditions Had
Improved.
New York, April 10.-A fearful rate
of mortality among the 10000 refugees
crowded into the yards of the Ameri-
can mission at Urumiah where il is
said 5000 persons could scarcely find
accommodations, is reported in a com
munication received here through the
state department at Washington by
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions.
SO great was the menace, the com
munication says. that for Wille it
was unsafe for any one to leave the
premises and consequently the dead
could not be buried. Later, when the
way was opened, one missionary was
kept busy attending to the burials. At
times on an average OF forty refugees
died every day.

not only from Urumiah, but from all
Azerbaijan provinces after the with
drawal of the Russian troops.
"Of the thousands who were forced
to remain behind, their villages being
so surrounded that flight was impos-
sible, only the future can give us a
correct roll of those murdered in cold
blood and with cruel tortures by the
Kurds of the women and girls carried
off and of the children lost and the
families separated in the time of this
terrible catastrophe. All who could

shelter that gave them the best hope
