“- a v [ VOLUME IV RUSSIANS HAVE ILA TOURAINE RESUMED THE TTAGK IN THE CARPATHIANS AUSTRIANS LOSE HEAVI- LY, 4000 MEN BEING KILLED IN AN HOUR BY RUSSIANS; LOSSES MON- DAY NUMBERED 18,000 MEN (By Associated Press,) London, March 31—After a brief fight for the possession of Dulka Pass in the Carpathians, the Rus- sians have brought up reinforce- ments and resumed the attack. Vienna reports say the Russians have not been able to gain their ob- jective at any point along the Car- pathians front for the invasion of Hungary and that they were de- feated at Bukowina yesterday. Dis- patches to the Swiss newspapers, however, say the Austrians have suf- fered enormous losses in northeast- ern Hungary. It is estimated that they lost 18,000 men Monday, and the Russians are credited with an- nihilating a column of 4,000 Aus- trians in an hour. Increasing pressure of the Rus- sians in the Carpathians together within their capture of Przemsyl, may have influence on operations in the west. It is reported in Holland that the Germans are contemplating the abandonment of their present linein Belgium in favor of a less ex- tended front running slightly west of Brussels, and withdrawal of Ger« man calvary has already begun it is said. A Reuter dispatch from Constanti- nople says the allies’ fleet has re- sumed the bombardment of villages near the outer forts on the Dardan- elles, German warships again have bom- ‘barded the Russian port of Libau, on the Baltic, and three persons were killed during two attacks. The Germans are reported to be making a new effort along the for- tified Franco-German border by ‘bombarding Verdun. The . bombard- ment of Nieuport, however, contin- ues. CUBS START NORTH.

The CORIOUS FACTS " REGARDING TURKS - BROUGHTTO LickT Dummy Cartridges Found On Many Dead Bodies; Turks Took Much Pains In Getting Their Guns (By Assoclated Press.) Cairo, March 31.—Some curious ifacts are coming to light regarding the Turkish expedition on Suez, through the reports of reconnais- ance parties which have been scour- ing the sand in the rear of the re- treaters. On the bodies of some dead Turks were found cartridge clips contain- ing dummy cartridges which held no ||}owder. Probably corrupt contrac- tors were responsible. ! All reports, however, agree that ‘Iha Turkish artillery was of excel- lent quality. Moreover, they took the utmost pains to get their guns away safely on their retreat. Not the slightest sign has been discover- ed to indicate that any of the ar- | tillery was buried or hidden before they turned back from the shores jof the canal. In preparing the way for their lhlx guns to descend finally from the last range of hills, seven miles from |lhfi British front, it is stated that the Turks with great care and in- {finite method. trod and retrod, and 'smoothed a path in the sand. The result presented a fairly hard, smooth surface, admirable for the purpose. Presumably the tramping- down of this road was the series of | movements which aviators and out- posts reported as “aimless walking {backward and forward in the sand.” REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS | List of deeds left with the Clerk if'lrcuit Court for filing March 19, 1915.
