PARIS, March 2e.-French troops
have won a fresh victory over the
Germans in the fighting over the
snowy slope- Of Hartmannsweilerkopt
In AIsace, according to dispatches re-
ceived here today.
They have driven the Germans from
the positions they still held near the
principal height, capturing six officers,
3s7 unwounded men and number OF
German wounded, who were abandon
ed whom the army fled down the hill
sides. The new gains in this region
are Of decided Importance.
French guns mounted on the heights
now command the lower levels for sew
eral miles.
The Germans, it is officially admit
ted, have made some advances at
Eparqes, southeast Of Verdun. Their
infantry charges have driven the
French, from portions Of trenches oc-
cupied by the French on Saturday.
Near Ypres, the aiiies' artillery
blew up German post. From Rheims
to tho sea coast there is Iul in the
fighting.

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

among Italians concerning the advis-
ability of going to war to secure
lstria, if Austria is willing to pur-
chase Ttaly's neutrality by surrender
ing the Trnntilo alone
Private reports are circulating in
Europe that the king of Italy is op-
posed to going to war for the sake OF
reclaiming the Istrian coast. with It's
principal ports Of Trieste, Fiume and
Pela
1t is doubtful whether the other
powers would acquiesce at the peace
conference in making Italy complete
mistress of the Adriatic. A balance
of power in the Mediterranean and
it's tributary arms must be maintained
after the war ends, just S it has
been in the years that have passed.
1t is improbable, too, that neutral ma
tions would regard with indifference
the transfer Of Austria's ports to
Italy. Trade considerations undoubt-
edly will cause serious objections to
be made.
II Italy. therefore, rejects Austria's
offer of the Treatino and enters the
war with the allies to increase her
loot by the addition of Istrian, it is
possible her sacrifice may turn out to
have been in vain.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Q1 a. M
The recent suggestion in this
column that the German emperor
would visit Franz Josef before the
Italian situation led to war, is con-
firmed by reports from various Euro
pean news centers, that the two mon
archs have Just had a secret meeting.
The situation. therefore, between
Italy and Austria, must now be ap-
preaching its final stage. 1t is prob
able, in fact, that Austria has tenta-
lively agreed to surrender the Trel-
tfno to Italy. but that the, future
sovereignty OF the Istrian peninsula Is
now the subject OF closing negotia-
ttons
Emperor William, while being ready
enough to see his ally surrender the
inland Tre1tino district to the penin-
sula kingdom, cannot have brought
any considerably, pressure to bear on
Austria to relinquish the 1strian
coast.
For Austria to do this would be to
make herself practically an inland
empire and thus mark her certain
decline.
There seems to be reason to believe
that differences of opinion exist
