FORMAL REQUEST MADE.
For Permission to Have the Kronprinz
Examined.

Washington, ID. c., April l3.-The
German embassy to-day transmitted to
the state department the formal request
of Captain Thierfelder of the auxiliary
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm for permis-
sion TO have the vessel examined to see
what repairs are necessary to render
her seaworthy and also for permission
to have these repairs made.
A request similar to that was submitted
recently in the case of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich when that vessel put into New.
port News. A preliminary survey by
shipbnilders is said TO have indicated
that about three weeks would be re-
quired for the work. The ship was found
to be leaking badly and her boilers were
in bad condition. The leaks were caused
by the loosening of the plates as the re-
suit of frequent coaling at sea and the
rsmming OF merchantmen when shots
failed TO sink them.

lower Cabot, where she had been living
Tor year or more, little Ella Heath.
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Austin Heath, fell into small brook

When last seen alive the little girl was
out back of the Clarke house making mud

how she came to her death: but II ia
supposed that she went to the brook to
get some water to make the pies and lost
her balance and fell in. A little time
later her absence was noted and search
was instituted. The alarm was given and
the whole neighborhood was gone over in
an effort to locate her.
Meanwhile search of the river and
the brook was being prosecuted by per-
sons with rakes. etc, some working from
the banks and Others from boat. Along

four feet deep at that point and il is
that the body was washed
about 20 rods down the small brook into
the Winooski. where the water eddied
about. The place where the body was

HOTEL GUESTS FLED
As Fire Destroyed Hostelry in Benning-
ton, N. H., Last Night.

Bennington, N. H., April l3.--ln SlO,-
600 fire last night, the Adams tavern,
barn and adjoining saloon were wiped
out, guests were endangered, and only
by the combined efforts of the local de-
partment and apparatus from Antrim
and Hancock, was considerable portion
of the town saved from extinction.
The fire started in the loft of the barn
adjoining the Adams tavern, from an up'
known cause and quickly spread. II
local firemen at once sensed the serious
ness of the situation and a call for aid
was sent to Antrim and Hancock. The
departments of those towns at once re-
partment in keeping the fire within as
small zone. as possible.
The flames spread so rapidly that the
firemen were only able to save some live
stock and appointments of the barn and
saloon and a portion of the furnishings
of the hotel.
The Adams tavern is owned by John
Adams and has been for years popular
hostelry. Last night there was good
sized registry of guests and many had
retired before the fire was discovered.
They fled the building in their night
clothes, not having time to procure any
of their personal belongings.
While the fire was at its height, David
fireman, cut an artery in his
arm and his injuries required the atten-
tion of physician. While his injuries
will Inconvenience him for some time
they will not prove serous.
The facts that no wind was blowing
and so many men were available, saved
the town from an even more serious fire
than it experienced. AS it was, the Con-
church, nearby, was badly
scorched; the grange hall caught fire
twice and the Sons of Veterans hall was
slightly damaged. The principal business
block of the town, but a short distance
,way, was threatened several times. Sew
,ral gasoline tanks were saved from ex. |
,loding by the merest margins.
Mr.. Adams, who owned the hotel, barn |
md saloon, was the heavy loser, and his
oss was covered to a considerable extent |

FIVE AUSTRIAN ARMIES
IN THE CARPATHIANS
Are Said to Be Directed by
the German General Staff
Emperor William Is Re-
ported to Be Giving Or
ders to the Staff in the
East

The German attack on the Russian
forces in the north, near the Prusslan
frontier, was resumed yesterday and an
other battle is in progress for the pos
session of the important Russian fortress
of Ossowitz. The abandonment of the
former siege of this fortress was inter-
preted in Petrograd as indicating that
the Germans had given up the attempt
to break through the Russian line of
defenses and the advance on Warsaw
from the north; but it is now said semi
officially at the Russian capital that the
invaders have brought up howitzers and
begun new bombardment.
Five independent Austrian armies are
operating along the Carpathian 'front.'.
Petrograd newspapers published semi
official details concerning this campaign
to the effect that the various Austrian
armies are under the direction OF the
German general staff. 1t is also said
that Emperor William is personally su-
pervising the work of the staff.
In Bukowina heavy fighting is in
progress, according to Bucharest dis
patch to Paris. OF the two armored
trains which advanced against the Rus
slams yesterday one is said to have been
blown up and the other was forced to
withdraw after being damaged.
What is described as the highest Ger
man authority in Rome denies the re-
ports that Germany is considering peace
negotiations, declaring that the German
general staff has made plans for the re-
sumption of the offensive with fresh
vigor.
The Italian military authorities have
ordered their army officers to dull the
metal on the uniforms and scabbards.
The measure is said to be usually adopt
ed on the eve Of war.

GERMAN IN A HURRY
TO LEAVE PORT
Capt. Thierfelder Wishes to Go into Dry
Dock at Once in Order to Get
Ready for More Sea Raiding.

Newport News, Va, April l3.-Ths
German merchant raider kronprln2
Wilhelm will not be permitted to 80 into
dry dock until Captain Thierfelder, hei
commander, makes formal request fol
time to complete such repairs as he
deems necessary to make his vessel sea
worthy.
Experts from Newport News who ex-
amined the ship yesterday found her
leaking and her boilers in bad condition
Unofiicially, it was learned that the ves-
sci would require extensive repairs. That
was taken to indicate the ship eventually
might be forced to intern.
The German captain, however, is in
sistent that he must hasten to repair his
ship and return to his work as mer-
chant raider. He discharged yesterday
officers and men of the British ships Ia
mar and Coleby, whom he had brought
here, and they were transferred to the
British steamer Cassandra, which sailed
last night for England.
In describing his experiences on his
way north from the equator, Captain
Tberfelder said:
'As we came up, we continually heard
the British warships talking to each 9TH
er by wireless. 1t seemed sometimes that
as many as eight warships were within
a radius of few hundred miles. One
night we heard the exchange of news
about the Prinz Eitel Friedrich being at
Newport News. Thereafter we heard in
formation about the Eitel every night,
and few nights ago I'VE got news from
The British wireless than the Prihz Eitel
mad been interned. We presumed that
the feet was breaking up, and on Satur-i
lay night we decided to bolt in for the
Virginia capes."
