STILL FI6HTING HARD IN HUNGARY
Teutons Contesting Every Inch of tho
Advance of the Rusaian Troops—
Uzok Pass the Chief Prize
of the Battle.
London.—The BrltWIi government
has agreed to purchase the cargo of
the American steamor Wllhelmln^ and
to compensate the owners for loos.
The ship then will be released. An
inreement to this effect wns reached
between the W. L. Green Commission
Company of St. Louil and the govern
merit.
The Wilhelmlna, an American steam
er, sailed from New York for Ham-
burg January 22 with a general cargo
of food products. She was taken into
custody by the British marine author-
ities, since then her case Jias been
pending.
Under the agreement made Great
Britain agrees to pay the price the
owners would have realized on their
cargo had it gone to Hamburg an i
also to compensate the owners for the
loss received in consequence of the
ship being stopped.
Two gateways into Hungary still re-
main barred, despite the tremendous
hammering by the Russian forces and
as the Beskid pass is the less Im-
portant of the two strategically, a fur-
ther advance Into Hungary hangs upon
the possession of Uzok pass, where
.the invaders are meeting with the
most stubborn opposition.
To relieve the pressure of the Rus-
sians Is an additional reason for th?
activity of their allies In the west
The report that Empercr William per-
sonally is directing the operations in
the Carpathians is, doubted as also is
the rumor from Cologne that Field
Marshal Von Hinderberg has asked for
reinforcements to the extent of 300,000
men to undertake another "ampaie;n
against Warsaw. It is thought to be
far more likely that he will attempt
o divert the attention of the Russian ;
by a thrust from the direction of Cra-
cow. An attempted diversion of this
haracter is revealed by the Russian
communication which reports a futile
Austrian attack in the direction of the
3try. Apparently this is designed to
turn the left flank of the Russian army
and so threaten all l'nes of communi-
cation north and south which supplies
the Russians fighting in the Beskid
range of the Carpathians.

VILLA IS LCS2KG AT MATAtfORAS
Carranza Ti*oops Hold Impregnable
Position.
Brownsville. Texas.—In a sortie th->
"arranza garrison r? Matainorcs in-
flicted a heavy blow upon the Villi
irmy besieging them. General Snn-
lonavarro, second In command of the
Villa troops, was brought to Browns-
1 lie dangerously wounded and the
':irranza consulate here claimed the
\'illa d(*ad nunibere.l 300. The sortie
Irew from the Villa forces their Iona;
promised shelling of Matamoros, but
he shelling stopped when the Car-
anza garrison returned to the trenche;
aid with the positions -of the armies
practically unchanged.
During the bombardment e'ght shells
■assed completely over Matamoros
ind four others dropped in the cltv.
where they did little damage and
■aused no known casualties. The shell-
ug demonstrated that so long as the
Villa cannon retain their present posi-
tions to the extreme west of Mata-
moros. Brownsville is probably quite
;:tfe from shell fire, but It demon-
strated sharply what would happen
to Brownsville if the besieging artil-
erv fired at Matamoros from any other
iirection.
Both factions are absolutely refusing
to permit anyone to cross the river to
obtain direct news of the fighting and
both clam to have won the fight. Villi
officers said that the sorties first drove
n the Villa outposts, but the Carmasa
roops retreated when the Villa cavalry
jrouKht up its main force.
The Villa troops were known to have
some dead and wounded, but the do-
lled the number was 300.

V :don.—With the capture by the
Russians of almost all the main chain
of mountains, the battle of the Carpa-
thians, which has lasted upward of
eighty days, is apparently reaching a
termination over one extensive front,
and the Russians are said to be mov-
ing at various points by railways and
roads and along the rivers and stream'
down the southern slopes toward the
plains of Hungary.
This movement, if it continues sue
cessfully, will, in the vrew of Russian
military authorities, compel the re
tirement with little or no fighting, of
the Austrians and Germans who ar~
still north of the Carpathians, to the
east of Uzsok pass and in caston
Galicla and Bukowina.
The battle which has been thus sue
cessfully conducted by -the Russians
was, from all accounts, one of thr
fiercest of the war, and the manne
in which the Russians overcame th
difficulties of mountain fighting in mid-
winter has been the subject cf praise
by those who witnessed the operatio"-
or are acquainted with the country
traversed.
The first .phase of the battle of th
Woevre also apparently has come to
an end, and interest now centers o~
tlie next move of General Joffre, the
French commander, :n his effort to
compel the Germans to release theii
hold on- St. Mihiel and that part o
the plan of the Woevre included in
their wedge.
German Submarines Active.
German submarines have again beer
showing activity, and besides the Har
palyce, which according to members m!
her crew and the officers of another
steamer, was torpedoed, they have at
tacked the British liner Wayfarer, the
French steamer Frederic Franek and
tho little steamer President.

IPRIRZ WiLHELM IS IN NEWPORT
ANOTHER GERMAN PRIVATEER
CALLS FOR COAL.
Has Sunk Fourtesn Vessels Valued at
$7,000,000, In Eight Months'
Crulae in South 8eas.
Newport News, Va.—The German
converted cruiser Kron Prim Wllhelm,
another raider of commorce in the
south seas, slipped Into this port and
asked fur fuel and provisions. Many
times reported destroyed, the former
North German Lloyd liner evaded hos-
tile warships for eight months while
»he sent fourteen merchantmen to the
bottom and her officers said she wa.i
forced to steal hwr way past four
French and British cruisers off the
Virginia capes in order to reach this
refuge.
"We got In without being seen by
the enemy and we can get out tho
same way," declared her commander,
Lieutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the Ger
man cruiser Karlsruhe, in a statement
Sunday night.
When she dropped anchor the Kron
Prlnz Wllhelm had less than twenty
five tons of coal and scanty provisions
for the crew of 500 and sixty-one pris-
oners from British merchant ships
sunk in the South Atlantic. Of the
fourteen ships'that the drab-painted,
15,000-ton cruiser sank, nine were Brit-
ish, four French and one Norwegian.
The jralue of these ships and their car-
goes, officers of the Wilhelm esti-
mated at $7,000,000.
Following in the • wake of the In-
terned Prince Eitel Friedrich, which
arrived here a month ago after similar
thrilling and effective operations for
German arms, the Kron Prinz Wilhelm
came dashing through the lane of
anemy warships which had hovered off
these shores for weeks befcre the Eitel
was interned.
In her raid of the nean since she
slipped out of New York harbof, Au-
gust 3 last, as a German merchant and
passenger steamer, the Kron Prinz
W'lhelm never touched land and took
960 prisoners from various vessels de-
stroyed.
Most of thes^ were sent to South
American ports at different times on
German Ships which met the raider in
response to wireless calls. The sixty-
one now on board, who will be landed
here, are British sailors taken from
steamships Tamar, destroyed March
25, and Coleby, destroyed March 27
last.
Thrilling Story of Raid.
The second of the raiders brought
as thrilling a story as did her prede-
cessor, the Eitel Friedrich. Her record
of destruction, however, was accom-
plished with only four guns, two taken
from the German cruiser Karlsruhe
and two captured from the British
merchant stecmer LaCorrentina. sunk
October 7, 191*.
Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder said
he hoped to be able to leave port but
the genral belief here is that the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm will intern.
Collector of Customs Normal R*
Hamilton early in the day went'aboard
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm and notified
the commander that he must leave
port within twenty-four hours unless
he needed coal or provisions or time
to make repairs. The German com-
mander came pshorp with the collector
and asked for 300 tons of coal and sup-
plies for three days. Collector Hamil-

Shw City.—Three bandits, one of
them masked, held up and lobbed the
Farmers National bank here, secured
$2,015, after which they escaped on
horses that had been tied near the
bank. The robbers rode south from
Kaw City and then traveled eastward
toward Pawhuska.
About 2:15 in the afternoon the
three robbers entered the Farmers Na-
tional bank and immediately com-
manded the two bank officers to hold
up their hands. In the bank at the
time were John Hoefer, president, and
A. W. Sanderson, assistant cashier.
One of the" robbers, a tall man, wore
a handkerchief ovei his mouth; the
other two, heavy Bet men, making no
attempt to conceal their faces. With-
out circumlocution the three robbers
pointed rifles at the two bank officials
and compelled them to gather up the
money in the bank, which one of the
robbers placed in a sack. One of the
robbers then ordered the two bank of-
ficials to enter the vault after which
the heavy door was closed.
President Hoefer and the assistant
cashier succeeded in opening the vault
door from the inside before the rob-
bers had gone more than two blocks
from the bank.

Oklahoma City—Cooped in by smoke
and flames on every side, two inmatas
of the ill-fated state asylum for the
insane at Fort Supply were bur ,ed to
death in the disastrous fire that en-
tirely consumed ward No. 1, of the
Institution, according to the official
report 6f the state board of affairs.
Fire bugs, and not inmatfes as was at
first supposed, started the blaze that
claimed the two lives and razed the
separate structure known as ward No.
1, officials now are certain. An inves-
tigation, that is expected to tie fol-
lowed by arrests, is being pushed by
Woodward county authorities.
Although the horribly burned bod-
ies of the two fire victims were taken
from the mass of debris by searchers,
Boon after the allies had cooled suf-
ficient to permit a search, news of the
disaster was not disclosed pendiri^ of-
ficial inquiry by A. N. Wilcox, a mem-
ber of the board of affairs.
"he investigation made by Mr. Wil-
?ox and county officers completely ex-
onerated officials and employes at the
asylum of all blame for the fire, ac-
cording to Mr. Wilcox's report. Guards
worked with heroism, several being
severely injured, in a tvain effort to
remove all occupants of the furiously
blazing building after the fire was dis-
covered, Mr. Wilcox said.
The two whose lives were claimed
by the flames were Cecil Holford, 21,
of Washita county, and John Lemon,
?>0, of El Reno. Both were known as
"lopers," having escaped two or three
times. Holford had been released
from the asylum once, after a long
stay, when It was thought his mind
was restored, but was committed after
again becoming unmanageable. Both
were known as extremely violent pa-
tients. They were buried quietly at
Fort Supply.
