With the capture hy the Russians OF
almost all the main chain of noun
tains, the battle Of the Carpathians,
which hls lasted over eight days. Is
apparently reaching a termination
over one extensive front, and the Rus
SLAMS are said 10 he moving at vari-
Gus points by railways and roads and

retirement, with little or no fighting,
Of the Austrians aud Germans.N who
are still north of the Carpathians, to
the east of Uzsok pass and in eastern
Galicia and Bukowina.
Ficrcest Struggle of War.
The battle which has been thus
successfully conducted by the Rus
slams was. from all accounts, one Of
the fiercest of the war. and the man
ner in which the Russians overcame
the difficulties of mountain fighting
in midwinter has been the subject of
praise by those who witnessed the OPP
erations or are acquainted with the
country traversed.
The first phase Of the battle of the
Woevre also apparently has come to
an end. and interest now centers on
the next move Of General Joffre, the
French eonnfaAler, IN his effort TO
compel the Germans TO release their
hold on St Mihiel and that part of
the plain of the Woevre included In
their wedge. The capture of Les
Eparges was, in the opinion of British
military critics, long step in the di-
rection desired by the allies but they
place even more importance on the
advance from Regnieville toward
Thaucourt in the south, as the latter
town is q railway center from which
the force at St. Mihiel draws its sup-
plies.
Comparative Quiet Prevails.
This battle has not as yet proved
the prelude to "a general offensive in
the west, as was expected. This is
probably due to the fact that, instead
of moving troops from other points
along the line to assist the army OF
the Woevre, the Germans have
brought their reinforcements from
the interior of Germany. or perhaps
right from the eastern front, and con-

tar MORNING IouRNsL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
El Paso, Tex. April l2.-What was
described as desperate fighting was
resumed today between the Villa and
obregon forces about Celaya, Guiana
juato state. official advices receiv-
ed at Juarez did not state whether
Villa had attacked the Carranza
troops holding the town, or If Obre-
gon had moved still further north
meeting Villa south of Irapuato the
latter's base.
Official Carranza advices said that
column of about 5000 men led by
General Manuel Diguez. who had
been operating about Guadalajara
several days ago, had reached a point
a few miles from Irapuato in an at
tempt to attack villa on the flank
or rear. 1t was believed possible
tht the fighting today had been oc-
casioned by the arrival of the Car
rama feinforcements.
villa on Firing line.
The reports received in Juarez
said that villa was on the firing line
directing his troops, but did not di-
vulge the location of conflict.
General Obregon, who has advanc-
ed north as far as Cclaya. has de-
clined to treat with the German,
French, British and American con-
suls from Guanajuato regarding the
exit from Celaya of women and chill
dren, according to a statement re-
ceived today from General villa. The
Carranza commander was quoted as
having answered that he did not
"consider necessary the interference
of foreigners in our affairs
Villas telegram was sent from Ira
puato.
Ernest Brunei for France, William
Hislop for Great Britain, Henry Lam
genscheidt for Germany and John b.
Glenn for the United States, reported
to General villa that they had failed
to reach Silao, but had sent their
communication to General Obregon
from El Guaje, off the railroad,
where the main Wills army is loeat-
ed. Obregon's answer was quoted
as follows:
"In answer to your note in which
you are pleased to request from me
that in case of battle in this city
| allow non-combatants to go TO a
place of safety from the enemy's
bullets, / take the liberty of stating
that / consider unnecessary the in
of foreigners in CUR af-
fairs in order that We Mexicahs may
do our duty"
The consuls also carried a chal-
Ienge from Villa for Obregon to Tight
in the open, to which the Carranza
chief made no answer.
Celaya is a town of normally about
5000 population.
