CHECK TO SLAvS
German ReinfOrcements Cause
Cars Army to Halt
In It's Forward Movement at the
Lupkow Pass.

Petrograd, April S.-German rein
forcemerts have temporarily halted
the Russian forward movement near
the Lupkow pass. it was semi-official-
ly admitted today, but the Slav forces
southeast of Smolnki continue sue
cessful offensive towark the Uszok
pass.
The Russian forces are being redis-
tributed to meet the strengthened
armies of the enemy near Vidrony.
Pending the arrival of reinforcements
and heavy artillery. the troops of the
car are maintaining themselves upon
the crest of the mountain near Lup-
kow and easily repelling all attempts
to dislodge them
The arrival of new German regi-
ments near Mezo Lahore was first
chronicled in dispatches received here
two days ago and officially admitted
oy the war office last night.
The enemy has massed around Mezo
Lahore probably the largest army con-
centrated at any one point in the Car

AT FOUR PASSES
The Russians Are Battling
Their Way Into Hungary.
Both of the Belligerents Are
Claiming Successes.

London. April s.-The fight for the
Carpathian passes is proceeding Bit
terly. Both sides claim local sue
cesses.
The Russians are fighting their way
over four passes: Dukla. Lupkow.
Uzsok and Rostock, the last named OF
which is in their possession. Rostock
pass is not so important as the others,
but a branch road from it leads to the
rear of Uzsok pass, which from the
desperate nature of the struggle in
that vicinity is regarded as the key to
the Hungarian plains.
The Austrians seem to have only
enough men to hold the Russians in
check, and evidently their hope must
again center on the Germans who may
force back the Russians they did
when the invaders had reached a
point further within Hungary than
they have gained this time. On that
occasion an Austro-German force at
tackled the Russian flank in the coun-
try south of Cracow, and threatened
it's lines of communication. quickly
bringing about retreat.
A similar movement might be At
tempted now but its chances of sue
cess would not be as great as before,
for the Russian positions are now
heavily entrenched and presumably
could only be dislodged at the cost OF
heavy losses for the attackers
In the west the French are ham
mering away at the German wedge ex-
tending to st. Mihiel. The Germans
claim to be checking all these assaults
but the French declare that their ad-
vance, though slow, is steady. The
allies are celebrating today the anni-
yersary of King Albert's birthday This
also marks the seventh anniversary Of
Mr. Asquiths premiership. Within a

TROUBLE IN SPAIN
Increased Cost of Food Sup

Government May Fix Maximum
Prices Soon.

Madrid, Spain, April S.@The in
creasing cost Of food supplies in Spain.
which has resulted in a number of
food riots, as reported by cable, is
charged solely to speculation. In 1914
the crops were better than in previous
years, with an excess of 100000 tons
of wheat over the crop of 1913, but
Notwithstanding this prices have
mounted so high that the government
has been forced to take measures to
avoid mOnopolies, and has intimated
its intention of fixing the maximum
prices.
Wheat, cereals in general potatoes.
beans and other products have been
exported in great quantities to France
and England. Numerous French
agents have bought beef and vege-
tables at prices above normal and
Switzerland alone last month bought
for its army S1,00O,0OO worth of food
products from Spain. All this has
caused a natural crisis which has been
felt severely in the provinces

SAYS jury
First Degree Manslaughter Ver-
dict for Russian.
John Merkle Charged With a
Killing in Topeka.

First degree manslaughter, entail
ing a penitentiary sentence of from
to 21 years, was the verdict against
John Merkle, tried in the district court
yesterday for the killing of Raymond
Strack on Larch street the night of
February last. The verdict was re-
turned by the jury at the noon hour
today after it had been in consultation
throughout the morning Evidence
and arguments in the case were closed
Wednesday afternoon, and the case
went. to the jury at o'clock this
morning.
Merkle and Strack were young Rus
slams living in the neighborhood be-
tween the Sardou avenue bridge and
the north end of the Santa Fe shop
yards. There had been bad blood be-
tween them which led up to an ex-
change of blows on the evening before
Strack's death. Only one witness
claimed to have seen the last fight and
that one identified only Strack. Mer-
kle's own testimony was simply calcu-
lated to establish an alibi.

and the English under Admircl
Vernon captured it in 1740, blew
the fort skyward Since then it
has been an historic ruin.
