gically, and further advance into Hun.
gary hangs upon the possession OF
the uszok Pass, where the invaders
are meeting with the most stubborn
opposition.
Several days ago the Russians cap-
tured a position which gave them
command of the road leading to the
rear of Uszok Pass, but since then
the Teutonic allies have checked the
movement in this direction. Import
ance OF the Carpathian operations is
indicated by the haf-hearted actions
reported from other sections ON the
long eastern front, where even a coun.
TER offensive in East Galicia, which
evidently was planned to divert Rus.
sian efforts from the passes, seems to
nave been prosecuted with little en-.
ergy. .-.s

German reinforcements passing
Through Budapest enrollte to the Car:
pathians. In the west the French an
parently are satisfied with their re-.
cent successes between the Meuse

only to have come in contact with
German entanglements in this region.

Keen Interest in Parliiamert.
Probably no session OF the British
parliament since the opening Of the

interest than the sitting which be.
gins tomorrow.
"A dry" England is unknown ex.
cept for a period of two years, a cen.
tury and a half ago, is not beyond q
possibility, but the government has
given no hint as to what action may
oe expected in it's undOubted deter.

stricting the consumption of liquors.
Government Take Over Business.
The published forecast of the gov
ernme:.,. plan asserted contempla.
tion of prohibition OF all liquors ex.
cept light beer which will be manufac-
tured by the government. This pre-
diction received some confirmation

manufacture and sale of liquors is to

steamer attempted to evade, search
while bound from New York for Nal

The British foreign Office instructed
the ambassador at Washington 10 ask
the American government to investi-
gate conditions Of imprisonment i'm
posed on British officers by Germany
as retaliatory measure against i'm.
prisonment of German submarine

Hungarians Reassured.
Vienna messages say the passage Of
a large number of German troops
through Budapest on their way to the
Carpathians had reassured the Hun
garian population, which had become
alarmed by the reports that Rus.
sian invasion was threatened. 1t is
said that the defense of the Carpa-
thians has been largely entrusted to
the Germans. The Viennese journals
assert the Germans have not only sue
ceeded in repulsing the Russians. but
have initiated counter attacks and
captured large stores of war NUM-
tions.

there that an internal explosion was
