Summary
 OF THE w ar News

An attack which the German army chiefs regard as the open ing of a new phase of the Wes- tern campaign has been inst1gat- ed by the French in the section of the front between the Mouse and the sMoseIle The official statement from Berlin today says that the French employed strong forces, with a large amount sof artillery. in making assaults at several points. The fighting was particularly spirited in the. neighborhood of Verdun and Pont-A-AGoussour1 Berlin expects a continuation of these. attacks
 The official statement from Paris gives few details of the 4fighting beyond the claim that in two places advances were made.
 On the eastern front there has been further lighting near the Russian border.
 The German war office says, that the Russian attacks were repulsed:
 Germany's new and powerful submarines are striking effec- lively at British shipping and todays despatches report the sinking of two more vessels. The Britisla steamer Northlands and the trawler Agatha. were torpe- doed near the English coast. The crews were rescued.
 The torpedeing of the Italian steamer Luigi Parodi, reported last night. is believed in Genoa to have occurred off the coast of Spain a considerably increased range of operations for the large submarines such as Germany Is now using Another Italian steamer, the Pima, is overdue at Cardiff by about a month and 1t is feared she has been torpedoed- It is reported unofficially from Dunkirk that a German subma- srirle has been caught near Doven in nets such as have been placed at various points along the Eng fish coast to trap these boats
 Military preparations are be ing pushed in Italy with increas- ing vigor. A Rome despatch says negotiations are being con- tinued with Austria and there is still hope of a settlement by di- plomatie means.
 Reports of a. decisive Russian victory in the Carpathians are doubted in Berlin where it is said that the result of the great mountain battle is still in doubt. A German corresp at the front points out that Russa an advances in consequence of local victories will make their offen- sivee movements more difficult.
 Further fighting has occurred between Belgian and German forces in Africa. An official re- port from the Belgian Congo says that an invading German force was defeated and pursued into German territory

I TERRIFIC BATTLE IN CARPATHlANS
 YET UND ED

Berlin, April 6-&The outcome of the great battle in the Carr rr,satl1ians " hiesa has lasted so many weeks cannot yet be foreseen, according to the special correspondent at the front for the Tageblatt. He argues that the army taking the offensive against the enemy provided with strong positions to which it can retire when necessary all ways is the greater loser and the far ther it goes, forward the greater are its losses The correspondent says
 There Is, theferore, always the we'll based hope that if the Russian ad-. vance by virtue of the masses of troops thrown into the Carpa,thians by them, they will have to pay dearly and too dearly Although the conflict in the Carpathians at present is attract ing more interest than any other hap pening in the war, one must not forget that the war theatre includes regions other than the Carpathians, and these can have an influence on the Carpa- thian situation
 'sThe gaining of ground in the Car pathians by no means indicates yic- tory, for victory is not won until the opponent is exhausted Even ii the
 Russians succeed in gaining ground at points in the Carpathians our offense will grow more effective"
