FRENCH SEIZE

Ten Days Terrific
Fighting.
INVADERS FAIL IN
ID ATTACKS IN WOOD
SUMMARY OF THE WAR VIEWS.

Les Eparges. dominating the
Woevre plain and for some days the
centre OF desperate fighting. has been
taken by the French. The French ef-
ing to 81. Mihiel has developed fierce
lighting a. several points IN this re-
zion. with the Germans making re-
peatcd counter attacks. but. accord
ing to the French official reports, fall
ing to recover any OF the lost ground.
Fifteen German counter attacks were
made and repu,sed yesterday in the
Mortmare wood west OF Pont "a Nous
son.
The German bfficial statement
agrees with the French regarding the
ferceness of the fighting in this re-
gion. but says that the French have
suffered very heavy losses and that
their attacks have been entirely I'M
successful. The Germans announce
thai they have bombarded Rheims
again with incendiary shells.
PetroGrad adv.ces indicate that the
Russians now are in control Of nearly
all the Carpathian passes and the
principal SUBMITS of the Beskid range.
the railroads and the highways, pre-
paratory to the invasion of Hungary.
The Russians do not fear the result
IN this section, but are looking for a
German counter move n the north.
Unofficial Rome Is stirred by re-
ports that Austria will conclude IA sep
crate peace with Russia, thus making
4 probable that Italy would lie unable
10 obtain any concession for continued
neutrality. Intervention talk con.
tinues without official support, but
with the basis OF continued military
preparations by Italy.

NAsHiNGTON, April g.-En0rts 10
start fresh discussion Of peace IN
Europe were made conspicuous here
to-day by publication of reports that
the terms which Germany IL prepared
to consider as basis of ending the
United States Government.
There IL no evidence that such is he
case. hut there is abundant indication
that there In a. strong desire in GER
tain quarters that the possibilities ~
peace shall be agitated anew. This
desire, 1t Is said. springs more from n
wish to fix IA responsibility for the
continuation OF the war on the side of
the allied Governments than from any
expectation that the time has come
for achieving any definite results In
the direction Of peace.
In German quarters the discussion
Of peace seems to be more welcome at
present than elsewhere Publicly the
many that the war will end only when
the Allies see that II is impossible to
defeat or crush Germany. Privately
il is added that this realizat ton on the
part OF the All, IL near at hand and
that the fighting may be expected to
end within the next few months.
War Follows Normal Course.
Elsewhere. In circles where there has
been some experience In the ohserva-
ton OF wars and peaces. the recurrence
OF peace talk at this time is pointed TO
as a sign that the war is following a
perfectly normal and usual course in
every respect. II Is pointed out that
finance is. after all. big issue with
all the belligerent Powers and that
their chief problem Is to raise the money
with which 10 carry on their military
and naval operations.
Talking Of peace. 1t If declared. is the
simplest and easiest method by which
to revive confidence and thus help the
sale of war securities. In this connec-
/ ton one is reminded that. despite the
! Presidents views on the question OF war
loans both German and French war
/ bonds and notes may be purchased in
J the United states and that the more
the American public IL led to believe
7 that peace Is near at hand the larger
will be the demand for European wal
Z a.,,rit,as in this country
While most of the talk seems TO EN-
anate from German sources. II !s under
stood that the helligerents are in tn,
| spirit TO give ENCOURAGEMENT TO any dis
cussion Of peace terms In general. 4
such encouragement can b" given with
OUT appearing TO commit them in TN
