KAISER TO DIVIDE AUSTRIA Punishment for Emperor Joseph Not Having Kept His End Up in the Conflict A despaUh from London says : The Press Bureau's official eye-wit- ness at Uio British front sends a new version of German aims, gleaned from captured German offi- cers, who say that the Austrian Empire is to be dismembered, part of it guing Ui Italy and part of it to Germany. Tiiis is the price, ac- cording to these officers Austria must pay for the failure of her arms. It is said in addition, by these men that Germany will insist upon the annexation of Belgium to a new German confederation, to in- clude all Germanic peoples and the Scandinavians. Antwerp, accord- ing to these views, which are pro- nounced with great assurance, is to be made an international port, and the whole of tihis scheme is to be brought about through the offices of the Pope. "Conversation with captured offi- cers and the better educated pri- soners has thrown considerable light on the views of the general •ituation now held by tie German army. "It is freely acknow!ctk:ed that Germany started the war, out opin- ion seems to be divided regarding permanently. Th« belief is that she would not have crossed tlie Meuse if England had remained neut^ral, but would have advanced through South Belgium and Luxem- burg, tliinking Great Britain would take it in the right way, as long as Germany maintained that slie de- sired no territory in Europe not already occupied by German- .spcaking people. It is a<lniitted that- Germany's strategic frontier in the Vosges must be improved. "The most important point in the views now held is a frank admission that since the Austrians have failed so badly in the present war and have had to be bolstered up by the armed strengtli of Germany she will have to pay for it and must bleed. "The German prisoners hold that the Austrian Empire will cease to exist. The Germans will give away some of its territory to Italy, and will include the German-speaking portion of Au.stria in the German Empire, and also Luxemburg. "The Germans will welcome the Duohy of Poland as a buffer be- tween themselves and Russia, and will insist on Belgium joining the German zollverein, Antwerp be- her intention to occupy Belgium coming an international port. VIEWED GRAVELY BY WASHINGTON Murder of an Ainericiin (ilixen by German Pirates Stirs I'nele Sam. A despatch from Washington says : The reported death of Leon C. Thra.vher, an American citizen, as the result <>f the destruction of the British ship Ealaba by a Ger- man lorpedo. are viewed gravely^in official quarters here because of the kerious possibilities involved. Ambas.sador Page is giving liis attention to the case and will for- ward all the facts. Because of the gravity of the issue raised by this first .\merican death resulting from the Germ,in submarine programme, officials refuted to make any com- ment on the ca.se for publication. It has been realized ever since the des[(ateli of the communication to the German Government notify- ing it that the Cnited States would hohl it to a strict accountability for the acts of its naval authorities that this Government was practi- cally committed to serious action in the event of such a case arising as was indicated in the American n«itp. It is now believed tiuit a case has f>ccurred falling within the pur- Mi'.\ of the .\iiierican note. 1 1 was made plain, however, that the Slate bepartiiient will move with e.vtreinc deliberation and care in the Thrasher ca-se. No effort »i!l be spared to obtain every fact ha\iiig a bearing on the case, par- ticularly with reference to the cir- ciitnstances under which the Falaba was sent to the bottom and more than one hundred persoins, includ- ing Thrasher, lost their lives. The first question about which it was thought there might be (some doubt, Thrasher's citizenship, has been answered. Investigation at the State Department showed that Thrasher obtained a passport June 1, 1911, giving his residence as Hardwick, Worcester County, Ma-sisachusetts, where liis mother resides. Carl Barnes, also of Hardwick, endorsed his applica- tion. This passport has since been renewed in London. It is not doubted in tlie face of this evidence tluit Thrasher'ft citizenship can be established beyond question. Therefore it is regarded as ex- tremely probable that the case will eventually have to be taken up with the German Government. Officials here are of the opinion tliat a strong case can be presented, so far as the law in the matter is con- cerned. Mademoiselle Joan Perichon, Belgian lleroinc. Mile. Perichon, who is only 23, is a Belgian Red Cross nurse. She has the distinction of being the only Belgian woman whom King Al- bert has decorated with the military Order of Leopold, and the medal on her bo.som was pinned there for conspicuous bravery, which has seldom been equalled even by members of the stronger sex. Mile. Jeanne is the only Red Cross nurse who has actually done work in the trenches at the front. She felt she could accomplish more good there by administering first-aid to tlie wounded than by simply doing her regular duties in some field hospital, and by special j>ermission she was permitted to go with the surgeons to the btittle lines. She is in America as the secretary of the Countess L. de Hemptinne, to aid her in her appeal to Americans for help in rebuilding Belgium. WORST (iiiorxn in kikope.

Both sides are daily aug- menting their forces and tlie battle line has been prolonged until it now stretches over 200 miles of «ome of the roughest country in [Mirope, 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.

There was no loss of life on the I'laminian and Crown of Ca'-tile, tiic CIV* s of each being giv<-n barely time in wliich to get into their boats. In the ca»e of the latter ves.sel, however, the sub- marine fired before the crew left tilie steamer and shell* passed along the bridge, on which the ciuitain and an apprentice were standing. The Crofwn of Castile was stink by sliell-fire, but this did not prove BufTicicnfc to send the Flainininn to the bottom, and a torpedo ha/d to she?" ho used. .\8 an offset to this, a French dcntroyer rammed and, it is believe<l, sank a tJermaii submarine off Dieppe. The members of the submarine's crew, it was asserted by tlio men from tlio (,'rown of Cas- tile, boasted that during the four days previous Uj the seiKling of the Oowii of Cufitile to the bottom they had sunk seven Britis^h vessels, in- cluding the steamer Falaba. "Wc thought nt first," one of the Ger- man ofheers is quoted as having said, "that we would sink yon with all hands ; but it was tiecidcd ulti- mately that we would give you a chance."

SEEK TO CHECK .RUSSIAN MAIICH The .Viistrians .\re Sendinf; .Many Troops Northward ia Hungary. A despatch from Petrograd says : On th© new Rut^iaa base along the line of Uszok, Lupkow and Bartfeld substantial beginnings of the spring campaign arc visible. A Russian column moving into Hun- gary along the Ondava Itiver cap- tured two full regiments and a field battery. The Austrians are now bringing large reinforcements from the south. The first stages of the. battle, which is engaging great numbers, are now developing. The Germans in the north are covering the period until a fresh corps arrives from the west by restless and futile raids. The enemy's exasperation at the steady crushing of his Niemcn campaign is unmeasured. General von Buelow's artillery has been evacuating it-s positions to the north-west of Os.so- wetz for several days. Once twenty batteries were shelling t.he outer Jiector of the fortress, but now only four remain, and even they aro quie.scent. All the heavy mortars have been withdrawn .slowly along the Lyck Road. The field tr<K)ps re- main in a Corner of East Prussia. The Austrian cavialry, in moderate numbers, crossed from Czernowitz into Bessarabia, a Russian province which formerly belonged to Rou- mania. In the direction of Khotin they moved from a point where .\ustria, Russia and lioumania meet, a region where the Russians did not constider it expedient to place any force, but the raid is now being countered. Apart from the obvious political purposes of im- pressing lioumania, it is possible that tlio iVu.strians thought it might in fluenco the movement of Ru.ssinn troops. WAR TAX ON LETTEK8. Will Go Into Effect On and After April 15. A war tax of one cent has heem imposed on each letter and post- card mailed in Canada for delivery in C^nadia, the United States or Mexico, wnd on each letter mailed in Canada for deJivery in tlie United Kingdom and British Pos- sessions generally, and wherever the two cent rate applies, to be- come effective on and from the loth April, 1915. This war tax is to be prepaid by th© senders by means of a war stamp, for sale by postmasters and other postage stamp vendors. Wherever possible, stamps on wliich the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the war tax, but should ordinary postage stamps be used for this purpose they will be ticcepted. Tlhis war stamp or additional 6tam'p for war purposes should be affixed to the upper rig)it hand por- tion of the address side of th© en- velop© or post card, close to the regular postage so that it may be readily cancelled at the same time as the postage. In th© event of failure on the part of the sender through over- sight or negligence to prepay the war tax on each letter or postcard above specified, such a letter or postcard will b© eeint immediately to the nearest branch dead letter ofiice. It is essential that postage on all cla.sses of mail matter should be prepaid by means of ordinary post- age stamps. Th© war tax stamp will not be accepted in any case for the prepayment of postage.

ACCUSED OF FIRING THE .TOURAINE Police Think He Caused an Explosion in Baggage on Steamer A despatch from New York says: Raymond Rolfe Swoboda, arrested in Paris, charged with setting fire to the steamer La Touraine, is an .American citizen, and represented in this country a French syndicate engaged in purchasing supplies for the French Government and th© civilian population. This was at- tested to by R. K. Maclean, of this city, formerly textile expert of the Federal Tariff Board ; by TOiomas Hooper, of Victoria, B.C., a Cana- dian, and by lAigene Davis and W. F. Mohr, both Americana, of this city, all of â-  whom said they were associated with Swoboda in the purchase of supplies. All four men were unanimous in asserting tJiat a grave error had been made in arresting him, and have made repre.sentations to the State Department, accomp^ied by affidavits to prove that Swoboda's mission at Paris was solely for the purpose of submitting samples of American goods to the French Byndicate. According to the Paria despatch- es Swoboda has been arrested thero as a result of eWdence brought out at the official enquirj* into the fire on the Touraine, which broka out March 6 while the steamer was en route from New York to Havre. The fire is said to have been traced to an explosion aanong the first- class baggage in tJie hold, and Swo- boda was declared by fellow- pas- sengers to have made peculiar statements before the time of the accident. Swoboda was traced to Paris and arrested by a French secret service official, and it is said that letters in German found in his room at a hotel will furnisih important evi- dence. The despatches state that he waa well known in Paris finan- cial circles, where he liad served as foreign representative for a broker named Morrison. H« was supposed to be a Russian, and of- ten spoke in Paris of family con- nections in Petrograd and Moscow. TWO PENCE PER DAY IN CASH SUN POWER. Doiilitfiil If It (an Ho (jjcneratod As I'lieaply .\s Water I'owor. The inventor of a suu-power en- gine now working in Kgypt 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 ct>«itinue to do so. If the sun engine is to be made truly practical, visions arise of the densely peopled areas of the North being deserted for the sun-baked plains of Africa, Arizona, and MexitHi. What then? Nothing then. That emigration never will take plaee. Nature has so ordered it that lands of perpet- ual sunshine produce very little that mankin<l needs. Man, of re- cent years, has arranged things so that power can be eliipped long dist^inces over a wire, with compar- atively lititle loss. If the sun-power engine does as much as this invent- or hopes, the world's deserts may become great generating stations, and that is a^boiit all. A despatch from Venice says: Reports received from Trieste say that the Austrian troops in Tren- tino are in a aiiserable condition, being penniless, hungi-y and ill- clad. Their pay has been cut from fourpence per day 'o tw-,ii>ence, and their rations from ,ive loaves of bread a week to tuo loaves, it is said. Me-n considerably over forty years of age, the reports say, are being sent into the trenches, ill- equipped and their uniforms old and torn, aft<>r only a month of prac-tiee drilling. The condition of the civil population is said to be equally wretched. Private letters from Trieste s#y that numbers of the people are literally starving. Palat-able wheat bread is unobtain- able at any prico, and the supply ci war bread is quite inadequate.
