RUSSIANS MOVING DOWN
SLOPES OF CARPATH|ANs
Using Railways and Roads in Victo.
rious March Toward Plains
Of Hungary.
FIGHT ONE OF WARS FIERCEsT
Movement Expected to Compel Re-
tirement OF Austrinns and Ger
mans to East of Uzsok Pass and I'm
Eastern Galicia and Bukowina.

LONDON, April 12.-With the capture
by the Russians Of almost all the main
chain of mountains. the battle of the
Carpathians. which has lasted upwards
OF eighty days, is apparently reaching
a termination over one extensive front,
and the Russians are said to be moving
Mt various points by railways and roads
along the rivers and streams down the
southern slopes toward the plains of
Hungary
cessfully. will, in the view OF the Rus
sian military authorities, compel the
retirement, with little or no lighting,
OF the Austrians and Germans still
north OF the Carpathans. to the east
OF Uzsok Pass and in Eastern Galicia
and Bukowina.
The battle. which has been thus sue
cessfully conducted by the Russians,
was, from all accounts. one OF the
fiercest of the war. and the manner in
which the Russians overcame the diff
culties OF mountain fighting in mid
winter has been the subjece OF praise
by those acquainted with the country
traversed
INTEREST CENTERS on
NEXT MOVE OF JOFFRIc
The first phase of the battle of the
Wocvre also apparently has come to
an end. and interest centers on the
next move OF General Joffre In his
effort to compel the Germans to release
their hold on st. Mihiel and that part
of the plain OF the Woevre included in
their wedge. British military critics
place great Importance on the advance
from Regnieville toward Thiaucourt, in
tho south. as the latter town is a rail-
way center from which the force at
st. Mihiel draws its supplies.
This battle has not rs yet proved the
prelude to general offensive In the
west. as was expected. This Is prob
ably due to the fact that. instead OF
moving troops from other points along
the line to assist the army Of the
Woevre. the Germans have brought
their e-enforcements from the Interior
or Germany, or perhaps right from the
eastern front, and consequently the
situation remains comparatively quiet
on the western front
German submarines again are active
and, besides the Harpalyce which, ac-
cording to one member of her crew and
the officers OF another steamer was tor
pedoed. they have attacked since Satur-
day night the British liner Wayfarer
tho French steamer Frederic Franck
and the little steamer President. The
Wayfarer reached Queenstown in sink
Ing condition, the Frederic Franck was
towcd into Plymouth and the President
was still atioat when her crew OF ten
left her.
The mystery OF the North Sea firing
heard Wednesday last remains unsolved
30 far as the general public Is con.
cerned.
