Berlin, April 15.-The German war office today gave out report on the situation in the Carpathians, dated Monday, April 12, which reads:
 "The Russian attempt, with the army that was before Przemysl, to force the invasion of Hungary has resulted in failure. The endeavors to get through the Lukkow and East Dukla passes were not successful and the Russian attacks at Scztropko and Felsorzebeurg have come definitely to an end. The Russians consequently are attacking further to the east, but here also they were repulsed near Kozlowa with heavy losses.
 "The attacking strength of the Rus sians visibly has lessened."

Burning of the canoes at Camp Tex

Of these extremely frail, unstable and
therefore dangerous craft should be
everywhere restricted to expert swim
mers. Any others who go out in them
risk their lives, since the least incau-
tious movement is likely to cause an
upset even when the water is quiet.
While canoes may still be used by
those who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore, it would be
better if they were put out of use al
together. There is always the dan
ger, as long as they are kept at hand,
that boys who cannot swim may seize
an opportunity to venture out in them.
They serve no purpose that is worth
while. An expert may derive some
pleasure from padding canoe about,
but to persons who want to enjoy a
ride upon the water they offer neither
security nor comfort-Albany Journal.
