CAUSES GREAT REJOICING
The Russians and Austrians Are in Another Death Grip in Passes of the Carpathians and Many Thou sands of Men Have Fallen.

admiralty has good reason 10 believe that the German submarine U-29 has been sunk with all hands"
 This news published late this even. ing, following as it did reports that the attack on the Dardanelles had been resumed and that the Russians had won important victories over the Austrians in Bukowina and at Uzsok pass in the Carpathians, gave the peo- ples of the allied countries cause fot cheerfulness.
 The admiralty gave no details Of how or where the U-29 was sunk, but the report that she was disposed of was received in shipping circles with a sigh of relief,
 It was this vessel which just a fort night ago torpedoed six steamers in Bristol channel and off the Scilly islands within two days Her com mander, who spoke English perfectly treated the crews of the toTpedoed vessels with great consideration. told one of the merchant captains who was taken aboard the submarine that he was the commander of the submarine which torpedoed the British cruisers Aboukr Greasy and Hogue. If this was true, he was the man who was looked upon as Germanys most dar ing submarine navigator.
 This makes the sixth German sub marine so far as the British admir- alty has reported sunk, five of them at least by British rships, since the outbreak of the wal, and in only one case has the British report been de nied by the Germans. Besides these. a French warship recently sank submarine off the French coast, and three British merchant captains nave put in claims for the rewards offered for merchantmen ramming German underwater craft One of these claims, that of the captain of the steamer Thordis, has been allowed by the admiralty and the reward paid.
 Meanwhile. other German suDma rines have been active, and the UPS has sunk the Dutch steamer Medea which. according to the British ad miralty, was flying the Dutch flag and had a Dutch crew aboard
 The Russians have lost no time since the fall of Przemysl in attempt ing their drive in the Carpathians to reach Hungary, In the various noun tain passes where already thousands of men have fallen. Russians and Aus trans are in another death grip, the one army to force their way through the mountain passes, the other to beat back the invaders.
 The Russians are striking their hardest blow on the S0-mile front be tween Bartfeld and Uzsok and al though the operations are being cal Iied on under the most difficult con ditions. the claim is made officially that they are developing with com plete success
 The nature of the fighting is indi- cated by the fact that not only are there great snowdrifts to contend against, but the Russians have to fight their way through barbed wire entanglements rows Of trenches and works strongly fortified. In one of these places near Lupkow pass an Austrian position said by the Russian war office to be very important, was carried by assault. Here the Rus sians captured 5.6OO men, one hun dred officers and several dozens of machine guns, and latest adyices from Petrograd describe the Austrians as being in retreat from certain posi- tons
 The Austrian war office, however announces the repulse of heavy Rus sian attacks in this particular section of the front and declares that the fighting continues
 While it was thought day or two ago that the Germans were preparing to undertake a powerful offensive in Flanders. nothing has come of this up to the present so far as is known. In fact the operations in the western war zone of late have been of an in significant character.
 Reports coming across the Italian border tell of increasing preparation in that country for war, although, f is added. German diplomats have not given up the hope of inducing Austria to make territorial concessions that
