London, March 26.-The admiralty
has good reason to believe the Ger
man submarine U-29 has been sunk
with all hands.
This news, published last night
following reports that the attack on
the Dardanelles had been resumed
and that the Russians had won i'm.
portant victories over the Austrians
in Bukowina and at Uzsok Pass in
the Carpathians, gave the allied
countries cause for cheerfulness.
The admiralty gave no details of
how or where the U-29 was sunk,
but the report that she was disposed
of was received in shipping circles
with relief.
1t was this vessel which a fort.
night ago torpedoed six steamers in
Bristol channel and off the Scilly
Islands within two days. Her COM
mander told one of the merchant
captains who was taken aboard the
submarine that he commanded the
| submarine which torpedoed the Brit
ish cruisers Aboukir. Cressy and
Hogue. II this were true, he was
the man who was looked upon as
Germany's most daring submarine
navigator.
This makes the sixth German sub
marine, so far as the British admir-.
atty has reported sunk. five of them,
at least by British warships since the
outbreak of the war, and in only one
case has the British report been de
MED by the Germans. Besides these,

marine off the French coast and three
British merchant captains have put
in claims for rewards offered for
merchantmen ramming German I'M
derwater craft. One of these claims
that of the captain of the steamer
Thordis-has been allowed and the
reward paid.
The news of Russian victory and
the renewal of the attack on the
Dardanelles lacks official confirma-
tion, but comes from sources usually
well informed. Russian victories
are announced in private kilograms
received from Bucharest by way of
Rome. These state that the Rus

owina, and that with strong new
forces they have driven the Austrian s
back in Uzsok Pass in the Carpa-
thians.
1t is believed here that the Rus.
SLAMS by bringing up new forces, may
have turned the Austrian right and
reached the Sereth river, getting be-
hind the Austrian army operating in
the vicinity of Czernowitz.
Big events at Uzsok Pass were ex-
pected, as both Russian and Austrian
official reports spoke of heavy fight
ing there, and with the troops re-
leased by the fall Of Przemysi the
Russians might be able to dispatch
strong reinforcements quickly to
this point.
The Russians also have resumed
the offensive in the region of the ri.
licia river, Southern Poland, and, ac-
cording to Petrograd, have taken an
important German position. while in
the north heavy fighting is again in
progress along the east Prussian
frontier. despite the condition of the
ground.
Reports coming across the Italian
border tell of increasing preparation
in that country for war, although it

not given up the hope of inducing
Austria to make territorial coDces.
