SNOW HINDERS
GERMANS IN THE
CARPATHIANS

Berlin, Via The Hague and London,
Feb. l0.-l0.5 "a MA description OF
conditions under which battles are being
wased in the Carpathians is contained
in a despatch to the Lokal Anzeiger
from its correspondent in the mountains,
who says:
Deep SHOWS lie in the Carpathians and
troop. movements are confined TO tia
valley paths. These marches are SOW
and deployment for battle is extremely
difficult. The Russians are pressing
with very considerable force against
Dukla pass and are continually bring
ing up new troops there.
ION the rest OF the long front the
Russians are in excellently fortified po-
sitions, which are very hard to capture.
Under these circumstances the operations
of the allied Austro-Hungarian and Ger
man troops are slowed up in spite OF
their greatest efforts. Successes which
are achieved in turn by both sides have
only local significance.
"Speculations concerning far seeing

years. Practically all the men drafted
earned their living from the fisheries.
Fear that the departure Of these
men will ruin the fishing industry is
expressed in letters received here, but
it is said also that French fishing in
terests have notified the St. Pierre
authorities that they will send liz
sailin1 vessels and about 40 steam
traWling craft to the North Atlanti :
this spring to prosecute the fisheries
as usual. Most Of the men Of Britain ),
who come to the Grand Banks to fish
have joined the French army or navy.
Many of them will be released 1t is
understood so the fishing fleet ma y
be properly manned. The fact that
so many men would be taken from the
barracks to fish, and that 800 had
gone from the colonys fisheries to
war was mentioned by the correspon-
dent as a seeming Inconsistency which
had occasioned some dissatisfaction
at st. Pierre. The people of the two
islands had some Of those persons who
declined to be inoculated.
The Under-Secretary added that the
suggestion that the war office should
consent to the enlistment Of bantam

the mining districts, he said, there
were many men under the regulation
height who desired TO serve in the ar
my and that some OF them already
were in training.

DEEP SNOW IS

Berlin, Feb. 10.-(By wireless to Say
willie, n. Y.).-Deep snow is proving to be
a great hindrance to military operations
in the Carpathian mountains. according
to special dispatches from Austro-Hun-
garian press sources. The troops are
obliged to keep to the valley roads and
the development of maneuyers for battle
is difficult.
The Russians are reported to be resist
ing stubbornly at Dukla pass and to be
continually bringing up new troops. The
Russians are strongly fortified along the
whole front and the operations of the
German and Austrian allies in conse-
quence necessarily are said to be very
slow. Successes have been achieved In
turn by each side, but they have only
local significance.

Secretary Bryan declined to discuss

text Of both or a paraphrase will be
made public as soon as the kilograms

course of the American government las

Wilson, who has pointed out to callers
that while there is no rule of interna-

While officials have no intimation as to
what the attitude OF the British and Ger

expected that expressions will result
which will reassure the Cnite4 States as

high officials anticipate a development of
any critical situation. So far, it is under
stood. the United States has not indicat-
ed to any Of the belligerents on what its
course would be if any American citt-
zens travelling aboard belligerent vessels
were lost in future encounters between
German submarines and enemy merchant
vessels. While the existing rules Of in
ternationai law, however provide that
all passengers and crew on unarmed bel

been held to apply to war vessels which
