The fiehf for tho CarpAthian passes
proceeds bitterly. The Russians are
akhting their way over four passes
Dukla, Lupkow. Uzsok and Rostock-
the last named Of which is In their
possession. Rostock pass is not so im-
portant as the others, but branch
road Of 1t leads to the rear OF Uzsok
pass. which from the desperate strug-
gle there is regarded az the key to the
Hungarian plain.
The Austrians seem to have only
enough men to hold the Russians in
check and evidently are unable to make
e successful counter stroke from
5ukowina. Therefore their hope must
center on the Germans to throw back
the Russians. as they did before when
che Russians entered Hungary. At that
time the Germans threatened the
lines Of Russian communication, quick
" bringing about a retreat.

German Press Suspicious as to Manner
Of Sinking Of U-29.

Berlin, via London, April S.-The
press OF the capital is virtually unani-
nous in declaring the fact that the
British admiralty has not made public
the facts Of the sinking Of the subma-
rine U-29 "looks highly suspicious"
The Tages Zeituns says that altho the
British made their first report regard
ing the submarine on March &c. moth
ing has been given out as to the time,
place or manner of its sinking.
The paper believes this probably is
because the method employed by the
British is "reprehensible.' and adds:
1--WE can imagine no other reason for
this delay than that British vessels
surprised the U-29 when it was res
cuing passengers from sinking ship"

such as the blue whale, the largest
animal in the world: the finer whale;
the small fish whale; and the hump
back, were all too active. and sank too
quickly when killed But their turn
has now come, for the modern whale
gun is a finely fashioned cannon, the
harpoOn carries a shell, and the body
Of the whale is Kept afioat by initiating
It with air through pipes from the
engine room Of the whaler. The rem
dertng is now done IN a factory on
shore, or IN a special large Vessei
