London, April t3.-With the capture

rest OF the main chain of mountains,
the battle of the Carpathians. which
has lasted upward OF eighty Gays. 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,
IL 1t continues successfully, will In
the view of the Russian military au
thorities. compel the retirement, with
little or no fighting, of the Austrians
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

The first phase of the battle of the
Woevre also apparently has come to

CIVIL SERVICE BILL SIGNED.
State Court Of Appeals Bill Vetoed by
Governor Carlson,

Denver.-Thc civil service bill, the
passage of which involved one of the
sharpest contests that took place in
the Twentieth General Assembly, was
signed by the governor Monday. 1t
will become operative in ninety days.
The law abolishes the present Civil
Service Commission and all civil
service rights and eligible lists Gre
ated under the present statute. A
new commission will be named by the
governor, the terms of the commission
to run coterminus with that of the
governors.
Governor Carlson vetoed the anti
Lindsey bills which we're passed by
the Legislature. In giving his reason
for disapproying the measures the

Juvenile Court is purely a Denver
matter, and Denver, under the home
rule amendment, has the means OF
abolishing the court without interfer-
ence by the state.
The governor vetoed seven other
bills Monday and approved forty-three
,ther measures.

of desperate chances. To Vivian any
