RUSSIANS LOSE 100000.
Tension Relieved in Berlin When Re.
ports Come In.

BERLIN. April 14.-(By wireless).
Russia has lost at least 500, 900
officers and men in her Carpathian
campaign according to official esti-
mates issued today.
Recently there has been marked
anxiety in Berlin over the situation
in the Carpathians. This was due in
large measure to the absence of news
rather than the Russian claims of sue
cess. This anxiety was relieved to-
day. however, by the Vienna an
nounce that the Russian offensive had
been completely arrested.
British military experts attributed
the early Russian successes in the
Carpathians to the plan of the Austro-
German commanders to let the Rus
slams sacrifice themselves in capturing
unimportant positions while the main
strategic points were held to menace
their flanks. In this connection they
point out that Uszok pass. the key to
Hungary, has been held by the Austro-
German forces and ever assault
against it was repulsed.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-That the
battleships New Hampshire and Louis

day, from Newport to Vera Cruz. was
strongly indicated by all evidences at
the navy department at noon.
1t was believed the department hal
ordered them coaled and ready to
start, but had not directed their d.
parture, thus justifying the denial
that they were under orders to leave.
apparently they were to be SO pra-
pared that they could put to sea at an

rived.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The bat
may shortly be, and possibly already
have been, ordered to Vera Cruz, 1t
was said on good authority here today.
The story, however, could not be
definitely confirmed. It circulated fol-
lowing conference between Secrc-
ltary Lansing and Acting Secretary OF
the Navy Benson, ostensibly concern
ing Haiti, but at which 1t was believed
Mexico was discussed also. It was
admitted that there was a growing
anti-American feeling at Vera Cruz.
The secretary OF the navy's office at
I11:35 a. m. denied positively that the
| battleships New Hampshire anu
Louisiana or any other additional war
ships had been ordered to Vera Cruz
| Acting Secretary Benson showed
considerable irritation: Are the ships
about to be ordered to Mexican wat.
ers them" he was asked.
81 don't care to say any more" he
answered, than that no such order
has been issued
The activity at the navy department
gave every evidence however. that
the order would be given very SOON
Department officials did not attempt
to hide their belief that the situation
was deemed critical and that an
anti-American outbreak was feared.
