! LONDON. April THE military sit
uation in the Carpathians is competing
with the prohibition question in the
interest of the British public.
In the Carpathian conflict. which is
the most important military action
now in progress, the Russians are
bringing UP heavy rc-enforcements to
push their attack, the success of
which is expected only through
weight of numbers. The Austro-G Ger
man commanders also are making
strenuous efforts to strengthen their
forces
Petrograd reports that the section
near the Czsok Pass, where Vienna adj
mits a retirement, extends for a dis
lance or seventeen miles. Vienna,
however. claims counteroffensivc
near l.upliow Pass, and says the Aus
TRANS took several Russian positions
and 1000 prisoners. y conservative
| Interpretation of both the Russian and
! the Austrian reports leads to the belief
| that the Russian offensive at Lupkow
has been checked, but that they have
forced their way through the Rostok
Pass. capturing two villages on the
southern side of the range.
In the west the French continue
their offensive between the Meuse and
the Lorraine frontier. Their reported
gains in the ALLY forest indicate the
possibility of a new danger for the
Germans holding ST. Mihiel, while the
advance east of Nerdun is regarded
as threatening st. Mihel from the
north.

Dardanelles have been resumed is gen

Hamburg has been a free city since
