WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. 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 If they were withdrawn, even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.

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.
