Advance Over Carpathians Is Unchecked, Despite Counter Attacks, Says Petrograd. SOUTH SPURS CAPTURED i Austrian Report Some Successes, but Vienna Warns Against At taching Too Much Impor tance to Reported Gains. ' rnxnox. ADril ' 7. Austro-German ! counter attacks, with the arrival of i heavy reinforcements in the Carpatn j ians. are reported officially from ! Tetrograd. Capture by the Russians of all the summits of the principal t chain of the Beskid chain west or us -t-m-tii d Tii niso the- enure on me niw' srarian side of the mountains are also reported in the same comiuuun.u. The Vienna official communication warns against too much importance be ins attached to reported Austrian local successes in tne aDorosa where grains still continue, according M the report. Teutons Are Reinforced. Th PetroKTad official report says: 'In the Carpathians, despite counter sttarks by the enemy, who has ob . tainrd larpe reinforcements detached from the German and Austrian armies. nFTAnaivo rontinues between the Kiver Toplia and the region in the direction of the Uzsok. "All the summits of the principal chain of the Beskid Mountains to the west of the region of the village of Ustxxykl Gornia. are in our hands and our troops are capturing in succession the southern spurs. "On April 5 we took 2900 prisoners snd three guns and several machine guns. "In the other sectors along our front there is no essential change, t-oin rions of secondary importance and fus i)ari have continued. The German attacks in the region of Kosiruvka and Kozanka ceased March 27 after eiKht weeks of continued fruit less attempts to take the Russian posi tions by assault. The Germans suffered enormous losses. "A German aeroplane .was brought ' down off Libau April 6, after it had dropped bombs on the city. The avi ators were rescued ana maae pns oners." The Vienna War Office reports aa fol Intra: "Fighting continues on the Carpa thian front 830 Russians Captured. "An additional 30 Russian prisoners were captured on the heights east of the Laborcsa Valley. We also took two guns and seven machine guns and much war material, including tou rules. "In Southeastern Gaiicia only local artillerv duels have taken place. "The increased violence to be observed in the fighting in the Carpathians is co incident with the advent 'of tine wea ther. From both slopes of the Ondawa ailey to a point near the uzsok .fass tremendous lighting is going on. Against the local successes achieved by us must be reckoned the local successes of the enemy, and the former must be as little overestimated as the latter. "The Austro-German successes on the heights to the east of the Laboroza Valley have not weighed so heavily in the scale as to Justify any expectation I t general decision." Germans Destroy Battalion. Regarding operations in the east, the German War Office says: "During an advance on Russian ter ritory in the direction of Audrejew, 30 kilometers southeast of Memel, our cavalry annihilated a Russian battalion. The commander, five officers and 360 men were taken prisoners, while 120 were killed and 150 seriously injured. Another Russian battalion was hurried to the rescue and was repulsed. We lost six men killed. "Russian attacks to the east and to the south of Kalwarya, as well as those against our positions at Augustowo, were repulsed. Otherwise nothing spe cial occurred on the eastern front." BRYAN FOR PROHIBITION ( Con tinued From First Page.) taken by the members of the organiza tion, will to a greater or less extent, commit the party on this subject and thus affect the party's strength of the state. l.iqnr lftsne Declared Meral One. "It is proper that the National com mitteeman should represent the atti tude of the party on this question; in fact the liquor interests have already ruled out one good man because he is dry.' The only way in which the sentiment of the party can be made evident in advance of a convention or an election is for each person to vote as he thinks, if he acts as an indivi dual, or as his constituents think, if be acts as a representative. "The liquor question is a moral ques tion and our party's hope of success In the State of Iowa in years to come will, in my judgment, depend upon the manner in which it meets this ques tion and the position it takes upon it. "If I were a citizen of Iowa I would make my opinion on the subject mani fest by casting whatever influence I bad in favor of the selection of offi cials who would not be controlled by. or under obligation to. the liquor in terests, but would be positively and definitely committed to the home as against the saloon. nr. Bryan Sees Conspiracy. "The brewer, the distiller and the saloonkeeper are in conspiracy against vll tliat is pure in society, all that is sacred in tire family, against all that is Rood in industry and desirable in Kovernment- I do not mean to say that every brewer, every distiller or every saloonkeeper is consciously eon spiring, but the business in which these men are engasred is the enemy of progress and civilization and they are not in position to oppose the influences that dominate it."

Armies "Dnf In" in Cnncnsna. Asked about Russian reports that le Russians had annihilated several army corps of the Turks in the Cau casus, tile Field Marshal laughed and said : 1 wish that we had as many there are reported raptured -and anni hilated. Only in one small section have the Russians secured a foothold the Caucasus is much like that in not the in in France and Belgium; both sides have dug themselves in and are waiting for Spring. The suffering among both the Turks and the Russians has been terrible in the cold of the Winter." I asked the Field Marshal about the rumors of a revolution brewing in Con stantinople against the Young Turks, especially that Enver Pasha is in daily danger of assassination. The answer came: "The stories are spread by the allies, no doubt. 1 saw no indication of it. As for Enver, he is more and more be coming a hero. He is the great popu lar figure in Turkey, a sort of national hero." Enver Bey Remarkable Han. "It is, of course, impossible to guard oneself against a fanatic who might attempt to take life. "Enver is a remarkable man. I work with him daily, although I am nearly 40 years older, and consider him my superior officer and that I am there to help him. Our relations are most pleasant." Baron von der'Goltz declared that Turkev had no intention of touching the autonomy of Persia or Egypt and that Turkey was not waging a war-of conquest, but wants to break Bcitish domination and influence, especially in Egypt. He characterized the Turkish attack on the Suez Canal as being more in the form of a reconnoiter in force, which did all that it was ex pected to accomplish. Despite the tre mendous difficulties encountered in the desert, the Turkish force will not be withdrawn but will remain constantly near, keeping the British constantly uneasy. The Field Marshal said that the British were defending the Suez cleverly, floating batteries co-operating with the troops.

Condition or Crop Better Than in De cember Department Says Pres ent Indications Are for 619,000,000 Bushels. WASHINGTON, . April" 7. Winter wheat came through the freezing months in excellent shape, growing on the greatest acreage ever planted InJ the history of the country. Prospects for a record crop probably were biignt ed by the unusually dry Fall and scat tering evidences of the hessian fly. which caused the condition to. be only 83.3 per cent of a normal in December. During the' Winter the general con dition improved one-half of 1 per cent, as shown bv the Department of Agri culture's canvass made April 1 and an nounced today. The crop reporting hoard, basinir its estimate on the April condition and the area planted last Fall, placed the prospective crop production at 619,000.000 bushels. That is 39,000, 000 bushels more than was indicated by the condition at that time in DecemDer. - Condition Improved In Five States. Production will be increased or de creased, the board pointed out, by con ditions from April 1 to time of harvest. A steady improvemenftn the condition miirhi- hrintr forth a crop closely ap proaching last year's production of 684,990,000 bushels, which was a recora. In Kansas. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illi nois and Missouri, the five leading Win ter wheat-producinK states, ana wnicn last vear Droduced more than 65 per cent of the crop, tne conanion greaiij improved since December, their average condition being 3.8 percent better on April 1. The crop reporting Doara saia: The par, or 100 per cent, normal con dition of wheat on April 1 may be re garded as equivalent to approximately 16.9 bushels per acre planted; hence a condition of 88.8 would indicate 15 bushels, which, on the 41,263,000 acres planted, would Kive a total production of 619,000,000 bushels, as compared with a final estimate of 684,990,000 last year. 523.561.000 two years ago. 399,919.000 three years ago and 630,656,000 four years ago. Crop Suffers Most In East. 'In a eeneral way the wheat crop suffered more than the average in the Atlantic Coast states as a result of a cold, dry, windy March, without ade quate snow covering; in the Central states east of the Mississippi River the crop declined slightly through the Win ter, but not more than usual: reports of prevalence of Hessian fly" are made from many places in this section, wnicn gives some apprehension. 'Great improvement in the condition was made in the western part of the grain belt, namely in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, which caused a general average condition on April 1 slightly higher than on December l, aitnougn the average of the past ten years on April 1 was -2.7 points lower than on December 1.
