War Observers.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary
Garrison said he ordered the return
of the United States army officers OBJ
serving the military operations of
the German army because their mis-
sion is completed. He said no other
officers would be detailed with the
German army.
Mr.. Garrison declared emphatically
that the relief of the five officers on
duty with the German army is in no
manner connected with the recent
relief of Major George T. Langhorne
as military attache at Berlin. Major
Langhorne was ordered to return to
the United States after 1t was learned
that messages bearing his signature
had been sent to the army war col
iege here without his knowledge.

ALLEGED REASON FOR
FISKE'S RETIREMENT

Washington, April Unwilling to
be held responsible for the American
navy, which he does not think is in
shape to defend the nation, Rear Ad-
miral Bradley A. Fiske resigned his
post as aide of operations.
As aide he was ranking officer OF
the navy and in the absence of Seere-
tary Daniels and the first assistant
secretary was In complete charge OF
the department.
Fiske has been aide since Daniels
took the navy portfolio. but has been
cut of sympathy with his chief. as he
differed with him regarding the state
of preparedness of the American
fleets. He suggested that congress
create a board of strategy, whose
business it would be TO put the navy
on a scientific basis and see that it
was always prepared for war.
Congress, upon the suggestion of
Daniels, turned this down and created
instead a chief of operations, which is
practically what the aide is now.
Fiske declined to talk about his resig-
nation, saying all information must
come from Secretary Daniels. DAN
iels said Fiske gave no reasons for his
resignation.
When he testified before congress
Fiske said he did not think the navy
could be gotten into effective shape
to meet an enemy in less than five
years. He doubted whether 1t could
be brought to the state of prepared.
ness of one of two European nations.

Great Battle for Carpathian
Passes Continues.
RUSSIANS CLAIMING GAINS
Correspondents Report Sav Successes,
but Officials at Petrograd Admit
That Gigantic Clash for Possession
of Uszok Pass Has yet to Begin.

Petrograd, April 5.-The great bat
tie for the possession of the Carpa-
THAN passes is approaching the de-
cisive stages.
Along a twenty-mile line reaching
from VIOLA Michlova eastward to the
River Sen great armies are locked in
death struggles on the icy hills. The
invasion of Hungary, with a possible
early ending of the European war,
may hinge on the result.
Reports of Russian successes have
reached here from correspondents at
the front. The war office, while opti-
mistic, does not share the belief that
the battle has been won. Important
victories have been scored by the
Slays. but the gigantic clash for pos
session of the Uszok pass has yet to
begin.
Nearly half a million Austro-Ger-
man troops, Ii Is estimated, are en-
camped along the Carpathian battle
front
Behind them are endless chains of
trenches and fortified positions that
must be forced before the great body
of Russian troops pass between the
heights and into Hungary.
Slow but Steady Progress.
From VIOLA Michlova to Smoklo the
Russian force is making slow but
steady progress. Perhaps no army in
the history of the world ever adyanc-
ed under more tremendous difficulties.
A recent thaw melted the snow and
covered the mountains with tiny
riy ulets.
Then a sudden dash of zero wealth
er converted the paths and sides into
glaring sheets of ice. To these nat
ural obstacles the Austrians, under
German direction, built almost i'm
pregnable defenses high on the ridges.
Ii will require at least a month of
steady advancing, military experts es-
timated, before the main Russian
army can pass down the southern
slopes of the Carpathians into Hun
gary.
In Poland and Northern Bukowina
constant Russian adances are forcing
the Austrian-Germans back.
