KAISER DIRECTING GARPATHIAW ARMY AGAINST RUS5r.

Sudden Offensive of Teutc ic Troops in Stryj Region Is Attributed to Arrival of Emperor at Eastern Front. F-ETILOGHAH. April FJ. Emperor William is personally directing operations of the Austro- If rniiiu armies in the Carpathians according to a semioflicial statement issued here today. This attributes the sudden offensive of tho Teutonic troops in the Stryj region to the arrival of the kaiser at the front and an order from him to cut through the Russians' left wing. The Hourse Gazette's correspondent at Eernbere telegraphs that the Austrians reported on the verge of "complete retreat, have launched tierce attacks upon the iiusslans along the HtryJ, opor and Swica rivers. To oppose this a rearrangement of the Russian forces has been found necessary. Reinforcements are being rushed to this region, where tho Austrian?! captured Hill No. 992, a dominant strategical position, by a night attack. Gen. Alexander Einsingen of thr German army, with 2s0,ueo soldiers. Is conducting the Stryj region operations, having superseded the Austrian commander there. He has under his command live armies. Simultaneously with the offensive in the Stryj region of Calicia, the Germans in northern Poland have reopened their attacks along the NarevvPobr front, again shelling Ossovviec and trying to pierce the Russian lines at Jtdwabno. Here's Ollicial Statement. The following statement on operations in that district was issued here today: "The Germans bombarded the fortress of Ossowlec from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. with eight-inch mortars Sunday. The fortress replied effectively. "The Germans sent four lire ships In the form of rafts against the Os.suwiec forts. Some were blown up by the fire of the forts. Others failed to reach their destination. "In the region of Jedwabno violent trench fighting occurred yesterday. Pomb throwers were used to some extent. "Small engagements occurred near the village of Hromierz, on tho right bank of the Vistula. We captured near Dembs on the Narew a German aeroplane and two aviators. "Near Suwalki we captured four German machine guns and a number of prisoner.." Iludaiet and Vienna Alarmed. Analyzing the situation in the Cai--pathians, the military expert of the Bourse Gazette says: "The Russians are continuing their march to the Hungarian plains, creating vat alarm at Pudapest and Vienna. The danger of the due! monarchy has reached an acute stage. The events of the next few days possibly will have an enormous effect upon tho whole future Austrian campaign. "The Austrian attempt to drive a wedge between the Russian troops advancing in Hungary and Galicia has failed. Judging from the large number of prisoners in Russian hands. "The desperate situation is recognized tyy the enemy, who is gathering troops from the Vistula. Nnrew, Nida, south Germany and the Italian frontier." DR. KEEGAN ON STATE Gov.

Armstrong, 21 t Diamond court, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances six weeks ago. was picked up in the St. Joseph river Tuesday noon by four bojs under the Three-1 railroad trestle in the northern part of the city. Armstrong disappeared one Monday night after he had given his wife his p;v check. When his clothing was searched at the undertaker's rooms Tuesday afternoon nothing but an unreceipted bill from the Indiana and Michigan Electric Co., some old papers and a watch were found upon him. Whether he committed suicide or fell into the river by accident has not yet been decided. On the night ho disappeared Patrolman Fish heard cries and moans from the vicinity of the Ieper bridge. He searched the vicinity but found nothing. Within the next day or so camo the report that young Armstrong was missing. His relatives his mother, sister and wife could assign no reason for hi3 disappearance. It was said that he had been involved in debt to some extent at the time he disappeared, but that report was denied by his mother.

ABOARD GEllIi SHIP KHOM PR1NZ

United States Health Official Asks Permission to Examine Beri Beri Patients Repairs Will Take Month. NKWPOKT NKWS. Va.. April Dr. Joseph (Jolteiger of the Public Health and Marino hospital serice arrived in Newport New;s today and requested permission to board the derma n auxiliary cruiser Kron Ihinz Wilhelm and there study at first hand the symptoms, ravages ai d treatment of the dread Oriental plague beriberi, from which 1L0 members of the German crew are suffering. As a result of a persistent report that there are two or more naturalized American citizens aboard the Kron Prims Wilhelm us members of the crew. Collector Hamilton today made inquiry of Capt. Thierfelder concerning the matter. The German commander replied: "There is no one here except those who want to be here." However, he agreed ;o scan his crew list and determine whether the report is true. Collector Hamilton spent considerable time abeard the sea raider today attending to routine matters affecting the enforcement of neutrality. He said, on his return, that even though the marine survey cannot be completed unless the ship goes into dry dock, the permission of Washington will have to be obtained before this is possible. Fleet Continues Practice. The naval tug Xunoina has succeeded the I'autuxtent as government guard of the Kron Prin. Wilhelm and in addition to the role of protector and sentry, she forms a connecting link between the customs ollicers here and the fleet which yesterday put to sea from Hampton Roads. With this arrangement it became necessary for the tleet to postpone its target practice, because of any eventuality that might require it's presence in these waters. Three weeks at leist possibly more will be requested to make the cruiser seaworthy. Marine engineers Who have inspected the hull of the sea raider declared today that the Kron Prinz Wilhelm would be unable to leave before tho end of April, If Capt. Thierfelder carries out his announced Intention of quitting port. Water is still pouring into the hull of tho German ship through crevices between plates started by the terrific strain of her long career in heavy seas. The vessel's pumps are kept working niht and day and continuous streams of "water pour from her scuppers. Australian Cruiser Arrives. It became known today that the Australian cruiser Australia is expected to Join the British ships off the capes in the near future. The Australia was hunting for the Kron Prinz Wilhelm in South American waters when the German ship put into Newport News. While ollicers of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm and tho interned Prinz Kitel Friederich refuse to discuss the matter, it is reported that Capt. Thierfelder knew- the Australia wa.s on his trail and sped northward to escapo her. The Australia probably will relievo the Berwick or Kssex off the coast. With her speed she could easily overhaul the Kron Prinz if that vessel left port, while the other British ships probably would not be swift enough. u. s. toIuebIdsmen 111 DYNAMITE CASE Will Seek to Collect $34,000 Costs Entailed by Appeal of Convicted Ilen. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. April in. That the United States government will bring suit against the surety companies which provided appeal bonds for several defendants in the dynamite conspiracy case, seeking to enforce payment of appro imately $34,OCO to cover the cost of the case was aJnrmed by Dist. Atty. F. C. Dailcy today. It is the theory of tlv; government that the cosU? in such cases must be paid by the defendant who take an appeal if the result is tn allirmation of sentence. The proposed appeal of the Terre Haute conspirators recalled the circumstances surrounding the dynamito conspiracy appeal. taken in the thickest fop or the darkest nights. "When Hmpernr William orders the grand offensive we will be in a position to employ aerial tactics, which will cause consternation among the allies. It will be impossible for the enemy to eress tho German lines vlthout dropping like files." Jt was admitted by Count Zeppelin's assistant that heavier aerial losses have been suffered since the beginning of the war than had been anticipated. Nine dirigibles have ber. put out of action since hostilities bean. but thes? have all been replaced and in addition have been equipped with long range guns. Persistent reports are current that Count Ze-ppelin has evolved new plans for the dirigible balloons which not only render them safer while in action, but also make them fort deadl- engines of war.
