ARMIES IN CARPATHIANS
TRY TO HEM EACH OTHER
Russian and Austro-CJpirnan Forces Both Hold
Part of Mountain Range in Struggle That
Will Decide Result in West, Says Belloc.
Continued From Page 1.
til the last few week*, now are more
nr lee* upon their logs again in this
respect, end their numbers, though
increasing slowly, ere Increasing
steadily.
To prevent a Russian success, the
Germans have here brought contin
ued reinforcements to the Austrians.
From three German army corps pres
ent before the fall of Przemysl the
number has now grown to seven, and
perhaps ten.
There is no information whereby
we can estimate the respective losses
on either side. They probably are
about equal.
Struggle Swings Evenly.
The Austro-Germans have th'* ad
vantage In still possessing TTzsok
Pass, across which goes the only dou
ble line railway, and this in a moun
tainous country, with frequent tun
nels. where the doubling of the line
in the course of the campaign is im
possible, is a very serious point .in
their favor.
That the struggle swings evenly
for the moment may be appreciated
from the fact that within ten days
two of the principal heights at its
central point—Peak 909 and Peak 992
— have twice changed hands. The lat-
' ter is in the hands of the Germans,
the former in the hands of the Rus
sians at the moment of writing.
Still a stronger Indication of th<*
exactitude of the balance is ihe fact
that the line of the two fronts be
tween Lupkow and IJssok Pusses has
not shifted during more than four
teen days by more than three miles at
any one point.
Supply Souroe Marvel.
The chief marvel, perhaps, of the
whole business is the continuation of
supplies by both sides at critical
points in the < enter of the mountains.
The spectator of this gigantic con
test has this advantage over his col
league in the west that he knows the
issue »-an not be long delayed. If it.
falls to the Austro-Germans they will
be in a position in a comparatively
short time to bring further troops
west and make a last bid for victory
on the French line, but If the news of
the next few days shows any appre
ciable Russian advance it will more
than any other piece of evidence tend
to prove the issue of the war is in
clining toward the Allies.
For if the Auatro-German forces
beyond the Carpathians are compelled
to fall back, there will be no sort of
chance of bringing men to the west in
the near future, and the great offen
sive there, for which the Allies are ac
cumulating munitions in such vast
quantities and for which new contin
gents from Great Rritain are pre
pared. will be delivered against a Ger
man force numerically incapable of
withstanding It.

War Brings Prosperity
To England; Nobody Idle
/
LONDON. April 24.—Examination
the extent to which the business
life of England has been disrupted by
the war produces some unexpected re
Bulls. First of all, the war has elimi
nated entirely, for the moment, the
problem of unemployment. No able-
bodied person need be idle. Although
the first half of the year 1914 was a
time of declining business In England,
the second half saw many of the In
dustries working at high pressure to
satisfy the war demands of Great
Britain and her allies. The most no
table exceptions are the cotton trade
and industries concerned with the
production of luxuries.
The cotton industry passed through
one of the worst periods within mem
ory, but a decided Improvement has
since set in, and I/ancashlre has now
begun to get the benefit of a number
of Government orders.
As against the semi-paralysis in the
cotton trade, woolen and worsted
factories have experienced difficulty
In keeping pace with the tremendous
orders for clothing for the armies.
The Belfast linen trade has been ac
tive, as have heen the boot and shoe
and other leather industries
The building trade has heen more
active than might have been expect
ed. One item of importance was the
construction of army huts and hospi
tals. Construction and repairing of
■warships have offset the decline in
mercantile tonnage in the shipyards.
The Iron and steel industry has been
kept busy by the demand for every
feind of armament and weapon of of
fense.
So far as can be ascertained. Hie
number of business failures has not
been abnormal, the moratorium hav
ing enabled weak firms to tide over
the difficult period New enterprise in
England, it Is authoritatively claim
ed, has been stimulated by a cam
paign for capturing German trade,
where possible, but in other directions
Is at a standstill
Many trades have diverted their en
ergies to the manufacture of war ma
terials. Cloekmaker8, for example,
■ re dqing a large business in mechan
ism for guns, and many cycle, motor
and kindred Anns are manufacturing
ammunition. The war has created a
demand for motors that has more than
offset the diminished demand for
pleasure cars. It is needless to speak
of the profits of the armament firms,
■while the tremendous freights now
ruling are sufficient to pay the high
er insurance charges and working
costs, and have increased profits for
shipowners The coal owners also
are said to be reaping unusual profits,
Though the congestion on the rail
roads is In part responsible for the
high price of household coal, which
now forms the subject of agitation in
all the papers
Reports of companies owning large
retail stores show a considerable de
cline in profits since the war, but in
recent months there is a marked ten
dency toward improvement
More than one case has come to
light of large sums of money being
made by contractors at the expense of
the Government, and it is predicted
that numerous scandals will be dis
closed after the war, for with the
countless number and immense size
of the contracts now being issued the
Government has found it impossible
to guard against such a state of
things. The Government has ap
pointed Sir George Gibb, a prominent
railroad man. as official fighter of
graft. Already the fabulous commis
sion earned by a recently appointed
agent for lumber purchases has been
brought to the notice of the House of
Commons, and It is probable many
almllar cases could be found, but not
on such a preposterous scale.
Ml m mu red by actual results, the mis
fortune of the war has not yet taken
effect. It Is believed, however, that
the degree of prosperity which exists
will prove to be artificial and tempo
rary, although It Is not difficult to find
in England economic authority for
very optimistic views of the future, in
the event the Allies win.
Says England Could
Fight for 22 Years
Sir Walter Raleigh, British Profee-
sor. Speaks to Yale Students
About the War.
[By Inter national Nawa SarvioaJ
NEW HAVEN. April 24.—Sir Wai
ter Raleigh, professor of English at
Oxford, a recent guest at Yale, told
Ihe undergraduates that England was
prepared to .fight a 22 years’ war if
it came to the worst. He paid a high
tribute to American consuls and the
work they are doing, and when asked
what terms of peace England would
demand in case the Allies eventually
won he said:
“The wiser people refrain from dis
cussing this question. It Is rather
empty talk to discuss the terms that
ought to b^e imposed upon Germany
while her army is still In possession
of Relgium and a large part of
France. If the war were ended to
day Germany has won It,
“England is preparing for a long
struggle and will fight as long as it Is
necessary. We are preparing for 22
years’ more continuous fighting if it
comes to the worst. Of course, when
1 say that I am picturing the situa
tion in Its extreme aspect, but 1 do
believe the war is likely to continue
for many months."

(Author of the Notable Series of Report! on Russian Cruelty in East Prussia.)
In order to present an accurate chronicle of my experiences
and impressions of a red, shell-shaken night on the German firing
line before Ypres, I wrote them down in diary form as they oc
curred.
5:30 p. m.—We have left the dirty farmhouse, where Major
General Clatiss, of the —th Brigade, is quartered, and are on our
way to the firing line before Ypres.

PARIS, April 24.—The first monu
ment commemorating the war has
been erected at the point where Gen
eral von Kluck’s advance was atop-
j>ed between Barcy and Meaux, 22
miles east of Paris.
It consists of a truncated pyramid
set on & cement platform, and Is in
scribed :

The people who are making a success
to-day in social as well as business life
are those who take care of their person

Most people get enough to eat, but they

the food, but it haa got to be made into
such shape that the blood can take it
up and carry It to every part of the
body—a little Digestit taken right after
eating will get the life-giving nourish

too. decaying food in the stomach

and a fringe of wood, when the lieu
tenant stops short.
“From now on,” says the lieuten
ant, with that easy way of command
ing, “we shall walk at intervals of oO
paces.”
I know what that means. Captain
Kliewer told me the same thing only a
few hours before when we approached
a battery. 1 remember Kliewer’s
words: “In a group we make too plain
a mark. We must separate • * *”
8hella Scream Above.
And then I hear above us a sound
that makes me stop short, for It Is as
though a giant had sucked in his
breath. “That was a bullet,'' I un
concernedly tried to tell the lieuten
ant. His smile makes you feel like a
fool.
Above us a shell Is screaming on Its
wav to the French trenches. From
beyond the woods the cannonading
sounds heavier. And then It seems
as though the air is being sucked in
all around us, for it shrills to a mul
titude of strange whistlings. The
fence wire rings again; a twig rattles
along the dried limbs of a tree and
floats down; something spats against
a tfionti and goes skipping away. I
am wondering when one of the things
is going to hit us.
We turn Into what seems to be a
wooded lawn. Still going in single
file, we cross on a plank walk. 1
hear the liquid ground sucking be-
neath our feet. Those in front walk
slower and then seem to descend into
thp earth.
Sharpshooters Cover Road.
I follow them down a flight of
steps, and seeing two uprights of
stout logs*, standing as a doorway,
and level with my head a roof of tree
trunks and dirt, I whisper, "Bomb
proof?” The lieutenant nods. Stoop
ing, we go into a room dug in the
ground, at the other end of which a
genial, gray-haired man, in a colonel’s
uniform, is rising from beside a home
made table, spread with military
maps, a cheery smile on his ruddy
face. He Is Colonel Adolph Meyer, of
the Seventeenth Bavarians.
“Welcome,” he Is saying in Ger
man. "8o you got up the road all
right?”
A sudden suspicion possesses me
and after introductions are over I
ask: “Colonel Meyer, there were many
bullets on that road. Where did they
qome from? Wild?'’
“Wild.” he chuckled •'Why. sir.
that road is our line of communica
tion with brigade headquarters. It is
watched and is covered by French
sharpshooters.”
5:57 p. m. Broad wooden benches
against the walls seem to us here as
comfortable as a cushioned lounge. It
is about ten feet from where I sit to
the strip of burlap, covering the
earthen wall behind the opposite
bench. I should say that from the
shelf where the colonel has his per
sonal belongings, down to the other
end of the room, which the glow from
our big oil table lamp only lights
faintly, is about 25 feet—enough
space for sleeping benches and a red-
bellied stove.
1 hear a strange buzzing; it comes
from a little table at the other end of
the cave
A soldier there bus clamped a tele
phone to his head.
“Hler ist slebzehn regiment," he
calls. Then rapidly he begins to
write, pausing now and then to assure
the man at the other end of the wire
that he is getting every word.
The soldier at the telephone makes
his report, a private enters, clicks his
heels and announces that dinner is
ready in a nearby farmhouse, and we
follow the colonel up the earthen
stairs.
Overhead a stray bullet whistles,
and I hear it rattling through (he

7:05 p: m. The adjutant is asking

shelter of the farmhouse. I hear a
bullet flatten itself arainst the s*tone
wall of the barn.
Shell Holes Patched Up.
\s we are taking our seats at the
table l notice that while four of the
chairs seem to belong to the kitehjn,
the other two are richly tapestried.
There must be a chatteau near here.
Hauptmann Koller is hacking off
chunks of bread from a round rye
loaf. A lieutenant Is pouring beer—
Munich beer—from tall, dark bottles
Canned boiled beef follows a stew:
more of the tall, dark bottles appear
“Colonel." T remark, pointing to
ihe wall behind me. “what did you
do—have those windows boarded up
so tljat the lamp light wouldn't be
seen ?”
“Those are not windows," the
colonel with a laugh. “They’re shell
•holes.”
Colonel Mat Narrow Escape.
Captain Koller tells the story:
“The colonel was dictating a re
port in here one morning. Without
warning, for our battery was not in
action and there was nothing to
draw the French Arc, two shrapnels
tore through the wall and burst in
the room. And the colonel wasn't
hit!”
With a wave of his hand Colonel
Meyer indicates the last of three cots
against the wall. “I was sitting on
the edge of that bod,” he says, “and
th© shells passed over the other two
beds."
With the cheese and coffee the
evening concert begins. A German
field piece in the woods close by has
opened Are. It seems as though at
this certain time all the guns agreed
to open up. for suddenly the night is
roaring with bursting shells. and
down In the trenches the rifles have
begun their incessant harsh croak
ing. The colonel is looking at the
tiny watch dial on his wrist.
“The same as last night,” he re
marks, “the French always open
heavy fire at 8. They’ll keep it up
until 2, then they’ll stop and begin
again at 5 for two hours. We know
exactly what to expect from them.
They’re hammering on us, for our
regiment holds the farthest front on
this part of the line. 1 dare not ad
vance any farther until my supports
come up.”
Hopes for Attack.
“T/ast night,” he goes on, “we hod
a Frenchman sneak over and sur
render. ‘Are the French going to at
tack?’ I asked him. He told me that
they were in no physical condition to
do so! The wet trenches have played
the devil with them.” and then I saw
the colonel’s gray eyes flash. "Gott!
If only they would attack. We’d
mow' them down like grass.”
‘Tell them in America.” begs Colo- j nothing until they have got it.
nel Meyer, “that we are not bar
barlans. I have a sister who lives in
Wyckoff. N. Y.. and I’m afraid
that by reading your newspapers she
thinks that I’ve become a terrible
ogre.”
Outside T hear the growing fury
of the shells and the crash of the
German fluid piece close by. Then the
colonel tells how on Christmas Eve
they played “HellLgc Nacht” for them
down In Houthem and that while he
was listening a heavy shell burst
down in the trenches, killing eight of
his men.
Colonel in Tears Over a Letter.
The door opens and an orderly
comes In with the mall There nre
two letters for the colonel and while
he is reading them Colonel Meyer Is
stuffing one of the letters inside his
coat. His eves hre wet. and, not to
embarrass him, I watch Koller meas
uring out the cognac. Probably a
letter from the colonel’s wire.
Then a good-looking private with
the Iron Cross salutes. "Sir, the
concert is ready.”
We leave and skirt the farmhouse
wall until we stop at a short flight
of steps into the ground. Descend
ing, we are seated in an extremely
low-roofed bombproof, in which five

Sags Denmark Will Not
Ask Pay for Neutrality
I wish every success and progress
to the French Government, but a vic
tory for the Allies would also be a
victory for Russia, and I should con
sider it one of the greatest evils for
civilization if Russia should pluck the
palms of victory. It would mean the
consolidation of that Russian reaction
which has reduced to despair all par
tisans of the liberty of peoples and in
dividuals.
Kills Love of Truth.
One frightful effect of such a war as
this is that it kills off love of the
truth. France and England are forced
to have recourse to lies to conceal the
attitude of the Russian Government
in Finland, which is shamefully op
pressed, and In Poland, w'hich is
promised reconstitution and then re
minded that Galicia is not Polish, but
an old Russian country. All Ruthe-
nlan signs are being removed in
Lemberg and replaced by others in
the Russian tongue. Somewhat sim
ilar tactics are adopted in Germany to
conceal the cruelties committed by the
German troops.
I regard the furious hatred of na
tions now dislocating Europe as an
immense evil and as a symptom of a
considerable backward movement.
You want me to rejoice at the thought
of a victory for the Allies, The ques
tion Is too complex. I could not be
pleased at a victory for the Russian
Government, as I have said, and still
less at one for Japan. Not that I en
tertain any animosity or prejudice
against Japan. I admire the great
qualities of the Japanese people,
which at least in the forms of their
religion have a superiority over Eu
ropeans. But as a result of victory in
this war, the Japanese people, with
China, would probably in the future
become the absolute dominator of ;he*
white race after depriving it of its
Asiatic colonies; and as Japanese civ
ilization, unlike ours, is not founded
on that of Greece and Rome, but is
quite foreign to and removed from it,
I should regard such an eventuality
as exceedingly tragic.
Not Friend of Germany.
You say I expect a victory for Ger
many and Austria to further ideas
that are dear to me. I expect nothing
of the sort. The unity of Germany,
of which she is so proud, is based in
the first place on the abolition of in
dividualism, which I love; then on
constraint, under which Frenchmen.
Danes and Poles are forced to fight
and bleed for a state which is their
aggressor and to which they belong
against their will.
As far as England is concerned, 1
entirely share the views of one of the
most eminent of contemporary Eng
lishmen, E. D. Morel, w'ho lost his seat
in Parliament because, at a time
when people want to hear only eulo
gistic speeches, he told the truth and
exposed the fact that some rpen of
the loftiest station in England had
told the truth In Parliament in speak
ing of the origin of the war.
I believe that statesmen act not on
considerations of morality, but of pol
icy. The conquest of Morocco by
France was not a moral act; it was
due to polities. The sharing of Per
sia by Russia and England was a
most immoral act based on politics.
In the same way the German invasion
of Belgium—a crying injustice—was a
political act. Recently the English
people presented King Albert with a
magnificent album in w'hich all Eng
lish writers and many foreigners had
written. Why. instead, did they not
prevent the taking of Antwerp?
By GEORG BRANDES.
You (Clemenceau) accuse me of re
maining neutral so that my brother
may not be compelled to resign his
position as a Danish Minister. You
say that a Danish Minister portfolio
does not weigh heavy in comparison
with Louvain. Dinant and Rheims.
This is an indisputable verity, and
you would have done well to remind
me of it if by any declaration of mine
I could have prevented the bombard
ment of these towns or a repetition of
such acts.
But if I am to write protestations
every time something happens of
which I do not approve, I shall be
able to do nothing else. In any case,
I have shown a hundred times that 1
am not a timid or crafty man who
would refrain from crying aloud when
any word of mine could place a real
obstacle In the way of those who
commit crimes or cruelties.
1 w'ill give only one example. You.
as the friend of humanity, protested
against the revolting butchery’ of the
Armenians by the Turks and Kurds.
You protested in French in Paris. I,
on the contrary, protested in German
in Berlin when the German Govern
ment was the friend and protector of
the Turks.
Denies Danes Lack Pride.
You called the Danes a “nation
without pride,” and I protested In an
open letter. I can not otherwise in
terpret your phrase, "They are bur
rowing in their holes." than as mean
ing that you think Denmark should
have declared war on Germany. Be
cause we do not wish to attack Ger
many we are towards.
You have several times asked the
Danes what kind of figure they will
cut when they have to ask the Allies
to restore to them the Duchies of
Holstein, Schleswig and Lanenburg.
This question alone shows you do not
understand our position. There is not
a single man in Denmark with a no
tion of politics who entertains such a
wish or w ould put forward such a de
mand.
Denmark does not want to resume
the domination of a population which
would only be Danish against its
wishes and by constraint; the great
majority in the Duchies being, in
fact, German in language and senti
ment. What we should like to have
back is that part of Schleswig which
is Danish by language and sentiment,
but we do not want it at the expense
of Germany’s humiliation, for the
simple reason that Germany would
revenge herself at the first opportu
nity, and we could offer no success
ful resistance.
War Not Yet Over.
Moreover, the Allies can offer us
The
French and English newspapers are
always talking as if they had won
what they wanted. A spectator of
the fight may be allowed to feel a cer
tain pessimism, due to recent events.
I don’t think the outlook is rosy. I
don’t for a moment Imagine that this
war will be the last, or that it will
even be decisive.
My sympathy for France can never
be in doubt. My compassion for the
unhappy and undeserved fate of Bel
gium springs not only from the sad
dening thought that a guaranteed
neutrality is no security for a small
State, but also from my heart. I
would like to see France and Bel
gium delivered of the enemy troops in
their territory.

Don t Feed Your
Baby Every
Time He Cries
Many are the mothers
r 4 who feed the baby to make
him stop crying. Poor baby!
He stops for a while—and then
it is all the worse. For the tiny
stomach has had another load
added to its already indigestible burden.
The baby isn’t always hungry. Perhaps he’s getting too
much or the wrong kind of food.
Give him your breast milk as long as you can. It may mean the saving
of his life when he is sick. You'll be able to nurse him nine full months
if from the beginning you use one feeding a day of
Nestles Foocl

milk—and leave yourself free to take a little air or pleasure to build up
your own milk. Then when weaning time comes, you’ll just add to

consumptive cows or germs in milk.
