INVASION OF HUNGARY BEGUN BY RUSSIANS;
 AUSTR|ANS ROUTED
tContinued From First Page.)

\NouIlHueu rom ElTSt PdgP,) strong German force in this vicinity would cause no surprise here.
 Thus far the only aid extended to the Austrians in the Carpathiaus an- pears to be that given by Bavarian frontier guards who were removed to the Austrian front.
 Meanwhile the Russians are push ing ahead slowly through all the prin- cipal passes of the Carpathians. ex- cept along the ry-Munkaies line, where the Austrians are heavily en- trenched
 Firing or Scarborough.
 London, April 12, 12:17 r. Mo official information yet has been vouchsafed concerning the naval en- gagement reported to have taken place off the coast of Norway. While await ing details of this action the British public has been kept interested by tho news of sounds of firing off Scarbor- ough, on the east coast, the scene of one of the most sensational of the German naval raids.
 France continues to report progress in the Argonne and beyond the Mouse. At the same time the French author 1ties admit that the German counter attacks have been exceedingly fierce and that one resulted in the recapture or trench. At Eparges the French have not advanced beyond the posi- tons captured by them April 9. Paris admits also that the Germans have recovered some ground temporarily lost by them between Pont-A- Nous son and St. Mihcl, but even there the French claim to hold most of cir gain.
 Repulsc Counter Offensive.
 The fighting in the Carpathians con- tinues along seventy mile front with apparently undiminished vigor with Russia claiming to have repulsed a de- termined counter offensive on the part of the Austrians and the Germans. On the eastern flank the Russians are drawing near Uzsok Pass. If they carry this position they will command another easy road to Hungary.
 Interest in the near eastern situa- tin has been stimulated by the re- ceipt in London of two special des- patches, one of which declares that the recent mission to Berlin of Field Marshal Fon Der Goltz was instigated by the Young Turks, who have de- clared that Germany must send q strong force to invade Serbia and threaten Bulgaria in order that muni- tions of war might be sent to Turkey, while the other quotes the prime min ister of Bulgaria as saying new sit uation has been brought about by the action of the allies in the east, in which Bulgaria sees a possibility of realizing her national aspirations.
 Relief Ship Sunk.
 The sinking of the Belgian relief ship Harpalycc on her return voyage has created much comment here, bus the American relief commission is awaiting official confirmation of the report that this ship was sent down by German submarine before mak- ing 8 protest.
 Interest in prohi ibition in England continues unabated, with the latest material for discussion supplied by a morning paper, which asserts that the government is prepared to take over the industry of manufacturing light beer, at the same time supprcssing al! other intoxicating drinks
