headquarters is map showing the
location of enemy divisions. These
locations are constantly changing and
tab is kept on German units from
day to day. This is done by capture
Of prisoners or by bringing in bodies.
The English method Of making iden-
tifications is by laying down heavy
barrage, cutting off the Germans and
then going over and taking them.
The French method is generally by
heavy raiding party going into the
enemy positions and fighting its way
back with prisoners. The Americans
have method all their own, which
obviates the use of barrage and does
away with costly fights. 1t is Dor.

AMSTERDAM, May 14.-The Berlincr
iageblatt's special commissioner to the
kralne, Leonard Adelt. in Telegram,
dated Odessa, May -. gives the follow
ing particulars concerning the capture
OF the Russian Black Sea fleet.
When the Germans entered Sebas-

found afterwards, however, that the
tunHers OF the ships were empty and
that majority of the vessels had been

Tells of Austrian
Yearning for Peace

AMSTERDAM, May 15.-The "Tiid"
prints the following significant and
much censored letter from its Vienna
correspondent:
The reason why all classes of the
population have regretted Count Ger
nn's departure (from the Foreign
office) is that in him they saw the
herald of peace. and the people want
peace above all. This is not surpris-
ing, because the misery is extreme,
(This part censored) The people will
probably hold out through the next
difficult months until the Ukraine grain
arrives in sufficient quantities. But it
IS natural that everybody yearns for
peace (Censored.) Hundreds of times
daily one hears the lament, 'How long
is this crazy destruction to last?'
"Only the conviction that the En-
2eror honestly desires peace and has
given evidence Of this in recent Incl
dents keeps the people going.'

The newspaper adds that only an al

The "Reichspost" says that news that

Complete Blending
OF Resources Seen
In euton Alliance

AMSTERDAM. May 15.-An official
dispatch from Berlin to-day says that
now the main lines for the cementng
Of the alliance between Germany and
Austria have been fixed, the political
military and economic negotiations
doubtless will begin shortly.
1t is obvious, adds the dispatch that
the political and military arrangements
can be carried through faster than the
economic, which probably will take
several months.
The phrase in the official report Of
the Emperor's conference regarding the
lance, says the Berlin aTageblatt, ,
permits of the assumption that the ain
of the convention is close military
and political union and a complete
blending of military resources.
Emperors Exchange kilograms

Charles of Austria, who referred to the
emperors' conference as harmonious
Emperor William telegraphed to the
ruler of the Dual Monarchy as fol-

"Many thanks for your friendly
telegram. | am exceedingly glad you

1t is great JOY to me also to have

lished in our detailed discussions our
entire accord regarding the aims
which guide US. Their realization
will bring great blessings on our em-
pires.

take advantage of your kind invita-
ton. Hearty greetings to Zita and
yourself.

For Blow at Italv
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)


WASHINGTON, May 15.-Launchine
of the Austro- German offensive against
Italy, for which the Austrian army has
been preparing all winter and spring,
is momentarily expected at the Italian
front, according to official advices from
Rome.
The Austro- Hungarian army, includ-
ing the divisions heretofore stationed
on the Eastern fronts, has been assem-
bled before the Italian lines, together
with strong German units. and semi
official advices indicate that additional
German and some Turkish and Bulga
rian forces have been transferred to
the Italian front in exchange for non
German elements in the Austro-Hun-
garian army
There is supreme confidence through
out Italy in the ability of the Italian
army to defeat the enemy offensive.

Form Party in Bosnia to
Create Croatian State
Subject to Austria
Leader Is Denounced
I'VE Do Not Want Pru..;an.
and Magyars as Overlords."
He Is Told

LONDON. May 15.-The Jugaslav
movement and its growing political
activity has perturbed greatly the
bureaucrats in Vienna, according to in
formation received in Serbian quarters
mere. The Austrian autocrats, as re-
suit, are doing everything possible to
SOW discord in the ranks Of the Jugo-
slays.
new political group has been
formed in Bosnia, under the leadership
OF DR.. Pillar, an exponent of Austrian
imperialism. The aims of this group
are the formation of Croatian state
within the borders of the Austrian
Empire, an idea quite irrcconcilable
with the ideals of the Croatian,
Slovenian and Serbian peoples, whose
only desire is to be united in free AMI
independent Jugoslav state.
Supporters Denounce Pillar
With reference to this new intrigue
of the Austrian government and it's
failure, the "Glasloboda," of Agram,
says:
"Dr. Pillar invited some thirty-eigh
OF his supporters to a meeting to dis
cuss matters in connection with the
formation of new political party, but
to his great disappointment even those
men who he thought would share his
opinions condemned his action bitterly,
calling his leadership and conduct
treacherous and unpatriotic. DR.. Pillar
was sharply reproachcd for abandoning
the town of Rieka-Fiume to the Mag
vars, and for ignoring the Slovenians
and their interests.
Go away from us. Your place is not
among us and we do not want to have
the Prussians and Magyars as over
lords In our state they declared"
A graphic picture of the terrible
economic distress prevailing in Bosnia
and Herzegovina also is published by
the "Glasloboda." The paper declares
that only two provinces in the Austrian
Empire have suffered more terribly
from the war than Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
Entire Districts Depopulated
"Those two Provinces" it says, "are
Galacia and Bukowina, which were the
cockpits of great conflicts between the
Austrian and Russian armies. Never
theless. the situation in Bosnia and
Herzegovina is horrible.
entire districts of Eastern Bosnia
and the whole of the eastern part Of
Herzegovina to-day are depopulated
and devastated. These regions look
as if a terrible typhoon had visited
them with its devilish destruction. A
great number of inhabitants were de-
ported and have since died in intern
ment camps. Those who remained were
massacred by Austrian soldiers. In
other districts the population is dying
of starvation
LAS result of such economic mis-
cry, the deaths exceeded the births by
5000 in 1915, and by 23,711 in 1916.
The number does not include dead
found on battlefields. All the livestock
has been destroyed and consumed by
the army. In consequence, it is i'm
possible to till the ground, which was
formerly done exclusively with oxen"
