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." • • • SEEK TO CHECK 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. WAR TAX ON LIETTERS. Will- Go Into Meet On aAd. After April 15. . A war tax of one cent has been imposed on cull letter and post- card mailed in Canada for delivery in Canada, the United States or Mexico, and on each letter mailed in Canada for delivery. in (the United Riegel= and British Pos- sessions generally, and wherever the two eent rate applies, to he. come effective on and I-roil:el:he eobli Arail, 1915. , This war tax is to be prepaid by the senders by meaps of a war stamp, for .sale by postmasters and other postage stamp vendors.

The inventor of a sun -power en- gine new working in Egypt claims 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, The claim is a little startling at first. Population has followed me- chanical power for many years, and doubtless will continue to do so. the sun engine, is to be made truly practical, visions arise of the densely peopled areas of the North being desertedefor the sun -baked plains of Afriea, Arizona, and Mexico.
