RUSSIA SEES PEACE.
Newspapers at Petroarad Claim Au'
trja Ready to Quit War.


PETROGRAD. April 2.-While re-
ports that Austria has made approach
es to Russia for peace were wholly un-
confirmed in official circles today,
they were accepted as true by the Pet
rograd newspapers, all of which de-
voted considerable space to theorizing
upon the portable terms. No clement
Of confirmation was obtained from any
source and impartial observers were
inclined to accept the rumors with
considerable reserve.
The Russky Slovo which was the
first to hint that Austria would aban-
ton Germany after the fall of Lem
berg. asserts that the Austrian ap-
proaches to Russia were made through
peutral channels without the knoWE
edge of Germany. 1t says that Aus
tria's action was fastened by the cap
ture of Przemysl, and the Russian sue
cess in the Carpathians.
Swiss As Agents.
The Russky Slovo states that Aus
tria made her first overtures through
Swiss agencies. Other newspapers hint
that they came through the American
embassy, but 1t was stated there that
nothing was known Of the matter.
All press reports agree that Austria
has expressed willingness to yield a
large part of her territory and that
Russia replied that the terms rroffer-
ed must be made known in London
and Paris before receiving considera-
ton.
War Reports Conflict.
Confusing reports as to the actual
military situation in the Carpathians
has the war experts of Pttrograd
guessing A week ago the war Of
Zee announced that the main Austrian
positions at Lupkow pass were being
successfully attacked by the Russian
troops Today's latest reports from
the front state that severe battle Is
n progress at Baligrod, twelve miles
northeast of Lupkow.
A dispatch from Tarnopl states that
The Russian campaign in Arabia has
ccnle to an inglorious end. the troops
advar cling toward Chotin having been
rcuted and driven in flight across the
,rontier in Bukwine.
Lenberg advices are to the effect
hat the Austrian forces in Bukowina
are being withdrawn and sent to the
-arpathian frcnt at Uskow pass and
ne Reskid heights where they are bad
" needed.

passed by the place of conccalment OF

face Of Count Frederick staring
straight at hin-to feel at the same
time the iron arm Of Roleau cast about
his neck. The sinewy fingers OF Count
Frederick supplemented the assault OF
his man, and between these two Bartel
was helpless. He felt hand rifiing
his pockets. but as for himself could
make no outcry. Just as the train
slowed up at the entrance into the
yards. they flung him to the floor,
where he lay limp.

and held up the Gretzhoifen half coin
before Kitty's eyes. He placed II then
in his own pocket.
why not give It to Roleau as an
impartial third party?" asked Kitty
demurely.
Count Frederick caught the chal.

As he handed Roleau the coin, he
nodded now to the window, behind

had been summoned to receive the
