US. ASKSS228, ,O59FORFRYE
Note to Germany Does Not Discuss Le- gal Aspects of Case-SettIement
 Expected.

Compensation to the amount of $228, 050.54 is asked by the United States government of the German govern. ment in consequence of the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the German commerce destroyer PrinZ Eitel Friedrich. The note of the Unit ed States to Germany on this subject was made public at the state depart ment in Washington.
 The note does not go into any legal defense of the position taken by the United States. It merely recites the facts of the case, establishing the iden- tity of the vessel. the nature and own ership of the cargo and its destination. Should Germany object to paying the damages asked by the United States government the state department will then prepare legal argument in de- fense of it's position. There is reason to believe, however, that the German government is disposed to make set clement without any question of the position taken by this Government.

 A German submarine attacked and sank the three masted French fishing schooner Paquerette, of Fecamp, in the English channel. The crew all got away in tie small boats or were picked up by nearby fishing sloops.
 Three Tyne trawlers have been sunk by the German submarine LILO Sevi eral members of the crew are missing.

PRESSING OVER MOUNTAINS

Germans Rushed From the West to
 Meet the Czar's Great Reserve Force.
 Observers Dwell on Great Re-en-
 forcements Russians Seenn to Have. czar's Forces FariousIy Fighting.
 Austria's campaign against the Rus sians in the Carpathian mountains has collapsed says.a report to London. AS a result of tho fall of Przemysl. and the defeat of the Austro- German troops in the Dukla and Lupkow passes, the Russians are now marching into Hun gary along the Laborcza river.
 A statement issued by the war office at Vienna admits that the Russians have compelled the Austrians to re- treat from the Beskid section of the Carpathians. This withdrawal of the defenders of the dual monarchy opens a wide area of Hungary to the czar's forces.
 Large divisions of Cossacks are al- ready on the Hungarian side of the mountains harrassing the retreat of the Austrians. The long level stretch of ground west of the Carpathians pre- vents Emperor Francis Joseph's com manders from organizing new positions for defense.
 The Austrian defeat in the Beskid region ends months of the most des- perate fighting known in this war The Austrians contested every foot ot the Russian advance with magnificent bravery and skill, while the cZar's forces surmounted all the difficulties of forcing their way against an in. trenched foe holding narrow mountain defles choked with ice and snow. The morale of the Teutonic soldiers is declared to have become greatly inn paired by their successive defeats in the last few weeks. while the Rus sians are fighting with greater i'm petuosity than ever in the flush of vic. tory.
 A correspondent of the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, who is at the front telegraphs that constantly increasing KOrCeS or -USSIhHS dTe UIdhlIlS dluOSt superhuman efforts against the center of the Austrian line in the Carpathians along front about forty miles long.
 "A violent combat has now been rag. ing for several days without producing any change in the general situation" he writes. "The heights on the north ern declivities of the Carpathians now constitute the chief object of the Rus sian attack. as they open a path to the highest ridges commanding the noun tain wall.
 "The Russian forces show no signs of diminution in this constantly alter hating fight. They seem to possess endless reserves"
 The Germans are now sending great numbers of reserves to Hungary Ordi- nary train service on the main lines has been suspended for the last three days on this account.
