PEACE RUMORS
SAID THE MATTER OF EUROPEAN
PEACE is PROBABLE.

Rome, April 21.-Within the last
twentyfour hours there have arisen
in Rome persistent reports that the
grave international questions con
fronting Italy may be solved in the
near future by what at first sight
seems almost incredible-the conclu-
ion of a general peace in Europe at
a near-distant date.
While these reports are intangible
and cannot at present be ascribed TO
any definite source. they nevertheless
are reflected in high quarters and are
given heed by careful observers Of
international politics.
Among other reasons to support
this, the argument is offered that
Rome is an excellent field for the
conduct of negotiations of this ma
ture; that Prince Won Buelow, one
of the ablest of the German diplo-
mats, is here as ambassador to Italy,
and that the official relation between
Italy and Germany, as we'll as be
tween Italy and powers of the Triple
Entente. are cordial.
Paris, April 21.-Having heard
rumors that Col. House, an Ameri-
can citizen, was in Paris representing
the United States government on a
mission of investigating the adyisa-
bility of proposing peace, an official
of France called upon the colonel this
afternoon TO determine his true posi-
ton i'm the country.
This emissary of France told Col
House during the interview that this
was no time to make suggestions OF
peace talk. He stated that the stop
page of the war now would simply
be a benefit to Germany. The allies.
ne said. had undertaken the task oil
crushing Prussian militarism and
they must refuse to be diverted since
such action would only De of beneh'
to Germany. The proposal of peace
at the present state of affairs this
representative of the French govern
ment said would be an act of un
friendliness.

would get wholly out of the habit of

RUSSIANS Claim A Great
VICTORY IN OCCUPATION OF
SMALL CARPATnIAN town

Petrograd, April 20, 11.30 A. NJ,
Via London, 2.35 P. M.-The Russian
occupation Of Loubnia, small Village
to the northwest of Uzsok Pass, was a
decided achievement in the Carpathian
campaign, for the reason that it seri-
ously endangers the important railroad
line between the towns of Uzsok and
Berezna, line which made possible the
extended Austrian operations in this re.
gion and at the same time successfully
retarded the Russian advance in the di-
rection of the Uzsok Pass.
During the past week, as the Rus.
sian advance developed in the direction
of Uzsok Pass, the Austrians exerted
their entire strength to protect this
railroad line, affording as it did an in
valuable means of communication be-
tween the Austrian forces on the Uzsok
summit and those operating near 0rosh
and Pataka.
The seizure of Loubnia gives the Rus
sian artillery an opportunity of com
manding part of this railroad. line and
virtually disqualifying it from further
service.
The furious Austrian efforts to re.
take this village eliminated the night
of April 26 and the morning of April
81, when they reached the Russian po-
sitions, but they were forced after a
hand-to-hand encounter to retire.
The authorities report that in this
region, as we'll as at Lupkow and Stry,
the Austrian troops were not assisted
by the Germans, who are said to be
concentrating at Cracow and in West
ern Galicia. For reinforcements the
Austrians had to rely upon their own
troops from Bukowina and upon men
of the landsturm from the Italian bor-
der.
