FRENCH BEGIN A T HREEFOLD
OFFENSIVE RUSSIAN PURPOSE

London, April s-1155 a. M.-The
French movement between the Meausc
and the Lorraine frontier is developing
distinct offensive with General .Ioffre
pushing his advance, while the Germans
are making fierce oounter-attacks. This
is the substance OF the latest despatch
es reaching London from the continent.
Three Fold Movement
According to an analysis 0 fthe situa-
ton by the French general staff. the
French offensive movement Of the last
few days has been on three sectors The
east of Verdun. the actual line running
southeast from a point near Etain; the
second OH a front between st. Mihicl and
Pont-A -Mousson. where the French are
attacking from the south and the third
is in the north in the vicinity of Gus
sainville, where the French now domi-
nate the valley of the Orne and are
threatening the railroad beyond the river
Orne.
Stubborn Resistance
The French advance is thus being
pressed from three bases in three differ
ent directions. According to Paris Off
cial reports, French forces on fronts
many miles long have occupied new
ground measuring from several hundred
yards to two miles deep That the Ger
man resistance to these advances has
been stubborn is strikingly indicated by

Special dispatches from Hungary eX-

of which is to sever Hungary from the

Austria still is possible and whether a
separate Austro-Russian peace treaty is
probable, are discussed from different
points of view by the press of the CAPT.
tai. The papers agree that the two
questions are closely related, since If
Russia. with the permission of her allies,
obtains what she desires and comes to
terms with Vienna, it is impossible to
imagine that Austria would be willing to
make territorial concessions to Italy.

GERMAN CONTENTION

Washington, April 9.-Secretary Bryan

German government to the recent Ameri-
can note regarding the destruction of the
American ship William p. Frye, togeth-
er with her cargo of wheat, by the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, in which Germany announced her
intention of compromising the owners of
the Frye. The United States govern
ment had claimed an indemnity Of $685.,

In the reply transmitted by Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin, the German gov
eminent declared that the sinking of the
Frye was justified under international
law and assumes liability for the ship
and cargo as well under the treaties OF
1893 and 1928. Germany d>Iares. how

before a prize court to establish facts

Petrograd, April 9, 1915 p. M.-Via
London, 2 P. M.-With the Russian
FORCES in possession of all the main
submits and slopes of the Beskid
mountains, army officers here assert
that the Austrian operations in the
Carpathians have collapsed. The Rus
sian general staff is now considering
the best approach into Hungary.
Hungarian Advance Kindred
The operations centering about Me-
zolaborez. including the important
points Of Bartfield, Lupkow and W.
sok. appear virtually to have ended,
with the Austrians on the defensive
along the whole line and preceptibly
weakened. The deep snow which still
covers the Carpathian ridges stands
in the way of a rapid advance into
Hungary. once this difficulty is over
come and the Russians reach the
southern slopes, where signs of spring
are beginning to appear. the most Sc
rious obstacle to a further advance
will be the artificial defences which it
is assumed have been erected.
The country between the San and
|
vide the best route The Russian staff
is Of the opinion that the Germans al
ready have transferred all available
troops from other fronts to defend this
region and that they will be unable to
offer any more formidable opposition
than heretofore.
New Move In Poland
On the other hand, it is expected
that the German answer to the Rus
sian offensive will be the development
of a new movement in Poland, start
ing from Thorn or Cracow. But the
invasion Of Hungary is regarded in
Petrograd as a foregone conclusion,
unless the Germans are able to trans
fer a formidable force of first line
troops to stiffen the Austrian armies.
In view Of these conditions, talk of
a separate peace for Austria Hungary
has been revived. Such a possibility is
discussed widely in the Russian
