The Clinton News Record, 1915-04-08, Page 3IdISER TO DIVIDE AUSTRIA'
Punishment for Emperor Joseph Not Having Kept
His End Up In the Conflict
A despabch tfrom London seas:
The Pres e Bureattes official. eye -wit-
ness at the Bribieli fronb sends a,
new version of German aims,
gleaned.from eapbared German offi-
cers, nfiho say that the Austrian
Empire is to be dismembered, part
of it &Mpg to Italy and part of it
to Germany. This is the price, ac-
cording -to these officers, Austria
must pay for the failure of her
aims. It is said in addition, by
these menthat Gerirmay wi1 insiet-
upon the annexation of Belgium to
a neweGerman confederation, to .ine-
elude all Germanic peoples and the
Se,anclinavians. Antwerp, accord-
ingeo these views, which are pro-
; nottneed with &Teat assura,nee, is to
be made an inte•rnational port, and
the wbole of this scheme is to be
• broughb aboub through the offices
of the Pope,
"Conversation with eapturea offi-
,cers ancl the bebter edtteated pri-
soners has thrown considerable
light, on t,he views of the general
situation now held by the German
army.
"It is freely acknowaralged that
Germany -started the war, but epin-
_ ian seems•to be divided regarding
her intention to occupy Belgium
I permanently. The belief is that
she would tot have. 'armed the
Mee if England had remained
neutral, but would have aedvanced
through South Belgium and Luxem-
burg, thinking Greta Britain would
take it in the right way, as long as
Germany maintained that the de-
sired no territory in Pirope not
already occupied by German-
speaking people. It 4s admitted
eliat Geemany's strategic frontier
in the Vosges must be improted.
"The most important point in the
views now heed ib a, frank admission
that ranee the Austeians have"feeled•
so badly in the present wax and
have had to be bolstered up by the
arneedeetrength of Germany ehe wile
have to pay fen- it and anust bleed.
"The German prisoners held that
the Austrian Empire will cease to
exist. The Germans will, give away
someme -its territory to Itaey, and
will include the German-speakimg
portion of Austria in the German
Empire, and also Luxemburg.
"The Germans will weltdonie the
Dueby of Poland as a buffer be-
tween themselves and Russia, and
will insist an BelgMtn joining the
German zollverein, Antwerp be-
coming an international port."

RUSSIAN MARCH
The Austriaiis Are Sending Many
Troops Northward in
Iltengary.
A despatch from Petrograd says :
On the new Rue,sian 'base along the
line of Useek, Lupkow and Bartfelel
subetantial beginnings of the
spring -campaign are visible. A
Russian eolumn moving into Hun-
gary along the Oedema River cap-
tured two full regiments and a field
battery, The Austrians are now
bringing large reiniorcemente from
the south. The first stages of the
battle, Which is engaging great
numbers, are now developing.
The Genn,ans in the north are
covering the period until a fresh
eorps .arrives from the west by
restless and futile raids. The
enemy's exasperation at the ebeady
crething of his Niemen eampaign is
. unmeasured. Generaa TEM Bueeow's
•artillery has been evacuating ite
positiens to the north-west of Osso-
nate for several days, Once twenty
batteries were shelling the outer
eeetor of the fortress, but now only
four remain, and even they are,
quiescent. All the heavy mortars
have been withdrawn slowly along
the Lyek. Road. The field troops re-
main in a. tomer of East Prussia,
The Austrian cavalry, in moderate
numbers, crossed from Czernowitz
into Beseamabia, a Russian province
which formerly belonged to Rou-
mania,. In the direcbion ol Rhotin
they moved from a point where
Austria, Russia. and Roumania
meet, a region where the Russians
not consider it expedient to
place any force, but the raid is now
being eeuntered. Apart from the
obvious political purposes of im-
pressing Roumania, it is possible
that the Austrians thought it
might in fluence the inovemenb of
13,ussian troops.
WOBST GROUND IN EUROPE,'
Strategists Never Dreamed of Car-
pathians as Battlefield.
A despatch from London says:
The battle of the Carpathians eon -
tames to be regarded as the most
important developmene of the wax
by the allied eountries and the Tea -
tone, Both sides are day aug-
menting their forces and the battle
lips •has been prolonged until it
now stretehes ever 200 miles of
aorae of the roughest country in
Europe, and along this line actions
are being fought daily, where nei-
ther general staff nor military stra-
tegists ever dreamed a battle would
be fought.
The Carpathian battle eine now
extends from the valley of the On-
dava, above Dukla, Paso to Wysz-
kow, and this line is the base of
the triangle, the apex of which is
to be driven into the plains of Hun-
gary.
Some people, worry almost as
much over their money as other
people worry over not having any.

The inventor of a sun -power en-

that 20,000 square miles of the Sa-
hara Desert can be made to deliver
as much power as is obtained from
all ,the coal now mined in the world,

first. Population has followed me-

doubtless will continue to do so.
