missed her by 80 yards. The wake
of the torpedo was plainly seen cross

"Navy officials are awaiting with
keen interest additional reports re-
ceived late today at Boston. Some
navy officials are somewhat inclined
to believe that the Smiths lookout
was mistaken in thinking he saw the
wake of torpedo. In any event the
incident serves to illustrate the fact
that rigid patrol is being maintains
ed off the Atlantic coast, no details
of the operation of which have been

Bile in American waters indicates that
the threatened German submarine
blockade of American Atlantic ports
has begun.
First information of the encounter
came to the navy department in a
round about way from the Boston
navy yard, which picked up the
Smiths report, saying she had been
fired upon by German U-boat.
The navy department, after COM
fmunieating with Fire island, Boston,
New York and other points on the At

port of the Smiths encounter had
been substantiated by official investi-

AUSTRIA READY
TO CONCL UDE
SEPARATE PEACE
Declares Austria, Like Russia, Has
No Desire to Conquer Territory
of Another State.

Amsterdam, (via London), April II.
The semi-official statement issued by
the correspondent bureau, in Vienna,
declaring that there is no real obsta-
Gle to the peace which Austria desires
with the Russian people, says:
"The government of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy has received
knowledge from the manifesto the
Russian provisional government pub
lished on April II. 1t has learned
therefrom that Russia does not pur-
sue a design to rule over other peo-
piles; that it rather, on the basis of
the right of nations to decide their
destiny for themselves, desires to
bring about peace. The Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister on March 81
stated as the war aim of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy.
"It can, therefore, be stated that the
Austro-H Hungarian government and
the Russian provisional government
are striving in the same manner for
a peace honorable to both parties, a
peace which, as was pronounced in the
peace offer of Austria-Hungary and
its allies in December, would develop
the belligerent states. The conviction
Of the allies (Teutonic) pronounced at

claims can be reconciled, without con-

$4,000 German Prisoners
Captured by the Allies
During the Past Week

and another position on the outskirts
of Bermiricourt running along the
Aisne canal to Loivre and Courcy also
were captured. Violent German coun-
ter-attacks on several sectors were re-
pulsed with heavy casualties to the at
tackers..
The &tillery for several days had
been violently Smelling the entire re.
gion and Monday, while British activ-
ity along the front from Lens to st.
Quentin had almost ceased owing to a
heavy rainfall, French launched their
infantry in an endeavor to break
through or thrust back the Germans
from this point of great strategic val
Tue. The German official communica-
ton in briefly referring to the attack
describes it as a great attempt to
"break through with far distant OBJ
ject, possibly meaning that a success
full breach of the German lines here
might neecssitate the falling back by
the Germans along great part of the
front from Lens to Scissors.
To the east in Champagne, violent
artillery activity continues, probably
being the forerunner of an attempt by
the French at drive against the Ger
man lines in this no less important re-
gion.
Up to the time that the rainstorm
began Monday afternoon the British
had captured from the. Germans the
village of Villeret, southeast of Hargi-
court and eight miles from St. QUEEN
tin, and also had made additional
progress northwest of Lens. During
the week that the British offensive
has been going on Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig's forces have made pris-
cners of $4,000 Germans and captured
1914 guns and large quantities of war
stores.
From the fact that the French
troops in Alsace and Lorraine have re-
newed their fighting against the Ger
mans, preceding it with heavy artil
lery preparation and infantry attacks
that netted them good gains and re-
suited in heavy casualties to the Ger
mans. it would appear that all along
ahe French FROM tic moment is APP
preaching for an intensive battle from
Belgium to the Swiss border.
From none of the battlefronts except
that in France has there come reports
of any great battles. There have been
small encounters between the Austro-
Germans and Russians on the Eastern
front.
In Mesopotamia the British troops
operating in the Tigris-Diala rivers
sector have driven the Turks farther
back and made numerous prisoners.
