MASON Former European Manager of the United Press. - New Tork, April 10. Reports that Austria has secured the consent of Germany to sue for a separate peace are unquestionably untrue. Germany's interest is to keep Austria fighting by her side. If Austria surrenders to the allies it will be without. Berlin's authorization. Austria has probably 2,000,000 men in the field, nearly all facing the Rus sians. If they were withdrawn, even the genius of Field Marshal von Hin. denburg could not keep the solidified Russian forces from penetrating far Into German territory. If Austria feels exhausted, she will continue the war only a little longer, and it Is most probable that the result will be, not a separate but a general peace. The Teutonic allies will try to conceal the plight of weaker num ber, and together endeavor to get the best terms obtainable. There is nothing in the present sit uation to suggest that Austria is over whelmed and must quit. The Russians are proceeding extremely slowly in the Carpathians. Hungary is still free from invasion. A deadlock might come in the Carpathians such as ex ists in Poland, France and Belgium. Italy, itself, cannot compel Austria to sue for a separate peace unless the Italian government is trying to secure Trieste and the Istrian coast, making Austria practically an Inland state. The indications are, however, that King Victor Emmanuel Is exercising moderating Influences and insisting that the Italians be content with Trm tlno. There are reasons to believe that Emperor Fran a , Josef has agreed to cede Trentlno to Italy. If this is true, Italy's probable acceptance would re move the necessity of Austria making peace with the allies In order to pro tect her seaboard from Italian designs. Even if negotiations with Rome are unfavorable at tha present moment, Austria would not be serving Germa ny's interests by discussing peace. There is always - hope that Austria may make peace with her other ene mies to as good purposes after Italy declares war, as before. It must not be forgotten that the emperor of Aus tria Is Germanic and that the domi nating class of Austria is also Ger manic. Neither Is likely to do any thing voluntarily that would bring dis aster to Germanic Interests. Such ac tion would be suicidal. Nokomls, 111.,, unionists will estab lish a co-operative store.

X and in the main passes of the moun tains and the main body of Russians are holding further attack until the out come of the fighting along the San, southeast of Smolnik, is determined. There a great Slav force is clashing with the Austrians, supported by Ger man troops, on a line 16 miles west of tha railway running through Ursok. In a final effort to capture Ursok and gain control of the Southern railways leading into Hungary, the Russians are bringing up artillery from' Lemberg. Heavy guns are being transported over the railway. That within 10 days the Russians will hold every gateway In Hungary along a front of 80 miles, was the opinion of officials here today. They have now gained the heights com manding the principal passes. Opera tions are still hampered by snow and ice, but with more favorable weather a new. assault, which is expected to send the Russian forces pouring Into Hungary, will be ordered. Great activity is reported by the German forces along the Pllica and Rawa rivers in Portland. Aviators have reconnoltered the Russian posi tions about Opoczno. The resumption of the German : attack In this region was expected as a counter movement against the Russian advance In . tha Carpathians. It Is now. believed that the German general staff has sent the last man that can be spared to tha Carpathians. The resistance of the Austro-German forces is regarded as practically crushed, however, and the invasion of Hungary is accepted here as an absolute certainty.
