BATILE ON WESTERN FRONT * OF PARTICULAR SEVERITY | Twelve Women and Children Killed and Forty-eight Others Wounded By Bombs Dropped on Podgoritzna, Montenegro By Austrian Aviators— 5,950,000 Men Lost During First | Eight Months of War. Russian troops are pushing for- ward rapidly in the Carpathians and it is reported from Petrograd that the road to the plains of Hungary now liss open‘before them. According to this information, the Russians have cap- tured Smolnilk, east of Lupkow Pa; and have driven o wedge between the western and eastern wings of the Austrian army in the Beskids, plac- ing the eastern wing in a precarious position. Both the French and German offi- clal statements show that the new bat- tle in the region between the Meuse and the Moselle has developd into a struggle of particular severity. Allics Maintain Advance. The Paris announcement says that the gains made heretofore by the al lies have been maintained in the facs of violent counter attacks in which the Germans suffered enormous losses. The German account of this fight- ing mentions French attacks at eight points and asserts that all were re- pulsed. It says also that the losses of the French were very heavy. It is announced officially at Cairo that a small Turkish force is still in the vicinity of the Suez Canal. A skirmish occurred near the canal yes- | terday with no casualities on either side. It is said that there are no large bodies of Turks in that vicinity. Austrin Sccking Peace. The Austrian correspondent of a per telegraphs that he has reliable information’ that there is a basis for the reports that Austria is seeking peace with the triple en- tente powe the better to deal with Semi-afficial negotiations, he says, have been begun. The losses of men during the first six months of the war are estimated by the military expert of a Rome newspaper at 5,950,000. The cost of the war in that period is placed at $8,400 million. Preparing Combincd Attac General Pau of the I'rench army, k. who has reached Naples on his way | from Petrograd and the Balkan capi- tals, corroborated the reports that the ! allies are preparing for a combined land and sea attack on the Darda- nelles. When this attack is made, the general says, the Turkish fortifica- tions must fall. Austrian aviators dropped seven bombs yesterday on Podgoritza, Mont- enegro. A Cettinje despatch says that twelve women and children werc killed and forty-eight other persons wounded. Russians Capture Smolnik. Petrograd, April 8, 12 noon, via London, 2:30 p. m.—The advance of the Russians in the Carpathians has cut the Austrian army under General Boerovitch in two places. The east- ern wing of this army is in a pre- carious position. “The Russians have captured Smol. nik, east of Lupkaw Pass. The Ris- sians have also thrown back the Aus- trians in the district of Bartfeld and | in the district of Lupkow. Having wdvanced through the Rostock Pass, they have forced a wedge between the Austrian armi molnik controls through the Beskid tween Aezolaborez and tanice of 60 miles.

May Be “Reprehensible.” 11:10 is April S, the capital declaring Berlin, via London, a. m.—The press of virtually unanimous in fact that the British admiralty has not made public the details of the sinking of the submarine U-29 look: “highly suspicious.” The Tages Z i tung says that although the British | made their first report regarding the submarine on March 26, nothing has been given out as to the time, place or manner of its sinking. The paper believes this probably is because the methods employed by the British were “reprehensible,” and adds: “We can imagine no other reason for this delay than that British ves- sels surprised the U-29 while it was rescuing the crew of a steamer.” Other papers make similar sugges- tions, incuding the surmise that the submarine was sank by a merchant- man fiying a neutral flag. ' MORE CONSIDERATIGN FOR migration Authorities at American Ports, ‘Washington, April 8.—Greater con- sideration is to be shown in the fu- ture to alien women and girls who have heen arrested or detained by im- migration authorities under amend- ments to the immigration rules which have just been approved by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Hereafter those detained or ar- rested upon their arrival in this coun- try will be placed under the super- vision of special female officers, who will see to it that they are properly cared for in the immigration stations or in philanthropic or other similar organizations, Only in case of abso- lute necessity shall detained women and girls be placed in jails or other similar places. “It being the purpose of this spe- cial procedure to humanize the ad- ministration of the law,” says the bureau of immigration, “it is im- portant that the cases of women and girls shall be handled in a particularly considerate and careful manner, not ponly while the. aliens.are being de- tained in this country, but in the event of deportation, after they ar- rive in the country of their nativity or at the port where they-originally embarked for the United States” ! The bureau has made arrangements {0 notify women’s organizations in Europe and elsewhere of all facts and circumstances of all cases so that in case aliens are deported assistance may be rendered them waen they reach their native country. WAR ON ESTATE OF “PRINCE OF BOURBON | | i | | | E | 15,000 | 2 rayed on One Side of Conflict Tenants of Prince Elias Ar- and Agent on Other. Paris, April §, 5:16 a. m.—A situa- tion amounting virtually to a state of war exists on the historic Chambord estate of Prince Elias of Bourbon, a i’Parmu. Knight of the Golden Fleece, | whose sister, Princess Zita, is the wife of Archduke Charles Francis, heir | apparent to the Austrian throne. The tenants of the 15,000 acre estate, ac- cording to the Matin’s Blois cor- respondent, are arrayed on one side of the conflict, while the agent for | the prince’s property, Monti de Reze, is on the other. i Reze is said to have managed the operty according to the old feudal stem, and his methods have mneces- sitated several times the intervention i of prefectoral and judicial author- | ities. The police now are investigat- {ing a fire which broke out simul- taneously at four different points in the magnificent park and destroyed I over 300 acres of timber valued at $1,000,000. The domain of the prince, which i is situated in the valley of the Loire and was laid out by Francis I, in 1519, is shut off from the outside world by twenty miles of high walls. Notwithstanding this fact, however, and the precautions taken by Reze, the Matin says, reports of his evic- | tions and coercions h become { widely circulated in that region, and feeling is bitter. The situation is ag- gravated by the belief that Prince Hliag is fighting with the Austrian army, in which he is a captain on the general staff BREACH OF PROMISE, Joseph Markowski Sued By N Bezruczk—Placed in Jail. Through Attorney Daniel O'Keefe, Mary Bezruczk has brought suit for breach of promise against Joseph Markowski, claiming damages of $500. The case is returnable befor the court of common pleas on the first Tuesday in May. Sheriff Stark arrested the defendant this afternoon on a body writ and, ns he could not procure a bond, he was locked up in the Hartford County jail. i 3 the | ALIEN WOMEN AND GIRLS, Arrested or Detained By fm- | |INTERNMENT OF ENTEL Rear Admiral Beatty to Take Ger- man Raider to Norfok | WHERE SHE WILL BE DISMANILED Officers and Men at First Will Prob- ably Be Given Freedom of Norfolk. and Later Officers May Receive Unrestricied Liberty, Washingten, April §.—Secretary Daniels today gave formai orders to Rear Admiral Beatty, commanding the Norfolk Navy Yara, to take the Prinz Elitel Friedrich to the navy ard for internment. Admiral Beatty will determine to what extent the ship will be dis- nantled but it was not tnought that more would be done than to remove detach the connecting rod of ner en- At first officers and men prob- bly will be given the freedom of Norfolk, and later the officers, at least, probably will be given practically un restricted liberwy, of course upon their rromise not to violate the neutrality of the United States. It has always been customary to extend rather than curtaii the liberty of interned belii- gerents. Ends Spectacular Career, Newport News, Va., April 8.—With the internment today of ‘the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried- rich and her crew, the commerce de- stroyer ended her spectacular war ca- reer. Decision of Captain Thierichens of the Prinz Eitel to intern his ship fol- lowed the receipt by 1im of an im- perative notice from the United States government early last night that the time limit for his stay in this port would expire at midnight. Had he not asked to intern his ship, Cap- tain Thierichens would have been compelled to depart from American waters not later than 4 a. m. today. In requesting permission of the ‘Washington government to intern, Captain Thierichens explained that “failure of expected relief to arrive™ made the step necessary rather than “deliver crew and ship to fruitless and certain destruction by British and French warships waiting off the Vir- ginia Capes.” Many British ships were gines. leaving cision to intern the Prinz Eitel, which action operated to lift the American embargo against commerce ships of the allied European countries. With the taking of the Prinz Eitel to toe Norfolk navy ydrd today, the breech.blocks of her guns were to be her engines - detached. The Prinz Eitel had been laid up here since March 10, when: she limped into port following her remarkable ¢ommerce raiding voyage from the Orient, dur- ing which she destroyed the Ameri can ship Wm. P. Frye. Commander’s Notice. Following is the announcement handed Colector Hamilton last night by the commander: “I inform you I intend to intern S, M. S. Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The re- lief T expected appears not to arrive i time so the number and force of the enemy cruisers watching the en- trance of the bay makes to me impos- sible the dash for the open sea with any hope of success. I have decided not to deliver crew and ship to the fruitless and certain destruction. Be- ing obliged for the courtesy shown by all United States authorities, I am ex- pecting your orders, I have sent the same information to Rear Admiral Helm, U. 8. S. Alabama. “‘Respectfully, ‘hierichens.” As the collector read this, a spirit of gloom seemed to pervade the com- mander’s cabin and spread all over the ship. Officers and crew were downcast. Said He Was Heart-broken. Captain Thierichens himself = de- ciared that he was heart-broken to be compelled to resort to such a step. TUnofficially, he said that he had never s, intended to intern, if it were possible ; io prevent it; that he had hoped for the arrival of German forces to do battle with the British and French warships off the American coast and thus clear the way for his return to the open sea. “I would like to have gone to seu myself,” he declared. “I would not hesitate to go, but I had to think first of my men.” Sends Notice to Washington, ‘ollector Hamilton dispatched the notice to Washington and informed Rear Admiral Beatty. The latter notified Rear Admiral Helm, on boara the battleship Alabama, which was suarding the channel to the s to prevent departure of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich from thls port after mid- night last night.

[TALY'S STATESMEN NOT WILLING TO ENTER WAR | | Till Every Peaceful Means of Obtaining People’s Desire Has Been Exhausted. | Ttome, April 7, 9:40 p. m. via Paris, April 8, 50 a. m.—Italy’s failure to | enter the war up to the present time | is explained in official circles as due to the fact that the country’s states- men do not wish to plunge the na- | tion into the enormous risks of war without first exhausting every possi- | ble means- of obtaining what the | people desire without recourse to arms. | It is pointed out that in the mean- | time Italy is gaining every' day in | military strength and in economic re- | sources. Official reports reeeived-here «from | European capitals are said to agree | in the statement that the supreme clash between the allies on one side | and the Austro-German armies on | the other, which originally seemed | certain to take piace in May, will be | postponed until June or even later. The answers made to those who are| urging immediate hostilities is that in | the circumstances there is no reason | why Italy should hasten her action, | | since the longer she delays the greater | would be her chances of siiccess and | the greater the aid she would be able to give those countries on whose side ! she would align herself. : No attempt is made to deny that a war against Austria would be popular. In this connection it is pointed out that the Italian army has been suc- cessfully mobilized without protest from Austria, the country most ob- | viously threatened. This is taken in some squarters to indicate that the leaders of the dual monarchy are de- sirious of averting hostilities and that they may yet consent to make the territorial concessions Italy desires.
