BRITISH GENERAL HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN FRANCS. March 26.-Al-
though the present condition gives no
accurate idea OF what the British army
has suffered during the winter, never
theless. the state Of the ground and Of
the front trenches renders it easy to
understand the hardships Of the win
ter months. The question is often ask
ed why was the long British front
placed on such low ground. and often
infbeds of rivers and through marshes? ?
Why was not good position chosen
on high ground and along more conf
handing positions. where 1t would
not have been necessary to keep 80
many men on the front line, and where
a greater measure Of security from at
tack might have been attained?
Action Forces Choice.
The answer is that the line was not
chosen at all. It was simply forced
on the British by the accident of war.
For instance, the front occupied by
the British army at the present time
is most irregular in it's manifold twist
ings and turnings, and looks as II 1t
had been drawn across the map by a
blind man in a fit of drunkenness. It

U. s. ShippingMen
 Clamor For Relief
NOT ONE AMERICAN SHIP OR CARGO HAS PASSED THROUGH THE ENGLISH PRIZE COURT ALTHOUGH MANY OF THEM WERE SEIZED MONTHS AGO.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April F. - Moved by appeals for relief from the owners of American ships and cargoes now held in British ports, mainly at Kirkwall, the state de partment is preparing further rep resentations to the British gov ernment, requesting the speeding up of the machinery of the prize court.
 So far not a single American ship or cargo has passed through the British courts, although many of those held were seized months ago. A typical case is that of the steamship Antilla, which has been tied up at Dundee, Scotland, since February 26th, unable to get be- fore the prize court. The cargo is composed mainly of cattle and food, consigned to Sweden. Both the Danish and British consulates in New York, certified there was nothing in the Antilla's cargo that was not specifically covered by the Swedish embargo. In other words, none of the goods could be exported from Sweden to Ger many.

SWARM|NG DOWN SLOPES
 OF HUNGARY
MOVEMENT EXPECTED TO RESULT IN RETIREMENT OF AUSTRIANS AND GER MANS.
By Associated T ess.

LONDON, April 12.- With the capture by the Russians of almost all the main chain of mountains, the bat tie in the Carpathians, which has last ed upwards of so days, is apparently reaching a termination. The Russians are now said to be moving at various points by railways, roads and along rivers and streams, down the southern slopes toward the plains of Hungary.
 This movement. if it continues sue cessfully, will in the view of the Rus sian military authorities, compel the retirement with little O. no fighting of the Austrians and Germans who are still north of the Carpathians, to the east of Uzsok pass in Eastern Galicia to Bukowina.
 The battle thus successfully con ducted by the Russians, was from all accounts, one of the ferceSt of the war. The manner in which the Rus sians overcame difficulties and their mountain fighting in midwinter was the subject of praise by those who witnessed the operations or are ac- Quainted with the country t-aversed.
