Lord Kitchener is a con- structive genius. He is an engineer | who has worked out the giant pro- blems "that confronted hind in Egypt, in India, and in South Africa, and | he is quite equal to the latest diffi | culties.

In Hungary there is no allusion te peace which does not find? eager readers, dnd there is no peace, however, humilat- ing, whith would not be welcome. "The tone of these peace articles is always the same, consoling the people with statements to the effect that Hungary will receive her reward | for the immense sacrifice made; that this time AMistria will -be willing to acknowledge the superiority*of Hun-| gary, and that "our national inde- pendence," will be the reward. At the same time, hatred against Aus- tria is growing day by day, and the] former admiration for Germany is] well on the wane. Hindenberg alone | has admirer®, but Austria is hated and despized even more than before the war. Moreover, to make things | worse, everybody is preparing for the | | inevitable invasion. I had a talk with a high niinister- ial official yésterday, who says no| one thinks it possible that the Rus-| slaw offensive in the Carpathians,| which began a few days ago, can now ! be checked. He was of the opinion, | like a good many others I hdve seen, | that this time we have been prepar:| ed for an unprecedented onslaught, | and one which will not cease until it} has achieved its aim. He points out| that the Russian advance, although | it be slow, even in tke west and cen-| tre, in a few weeks time it will reach | Eperjen and probably Kassa, and if, | during the next few days the battle now preceeding has not given victory | nothing will stop the" invading our ® Plains. WHAT GERMAN ANY DOES, To Conserve Its Gasoline Its Scien. | tists Busy. Washington, April 1. account of the efforts of the Germans | the .use of gasoline| and rubber, now necessary for their military automobiles, is set forth in a report from Vice-Consul Danfel J.| Waters, at Berlin, dated March 16th, | Mr. Waters tells besides of the efforts of German scientists to provide a substitute for gasoline. The report is in part, as follows: "On March 15th, in. accordance with a recent order of the Bundesra- th, about 45,000 automobiles will cease operating in and about Berlin. This step has been taken to conserve | the supply of benzine, benzol and rubber. "Much interest has been taken in --A detailed | ithe subject of mixing the matérials now available in reasonably large gawiivities. The 'age of pure petrol- eum or pure alcohol is not consider- | ed, as the supply of neither can be considered unlimited. Regarding the use of mixtures the following inform- ation has been obtained: "The benzihe and benzol can be mixed with petroleum as well as with alcohol, and four different homogen- | ous fuels can be produced by such mixing, namely (1) benzine-petrol; | (2) benzine-spirit; (3) benzol-petrol- | and (4) benzol-spirit. » As benzine and benzol may also be mixed, the four mixtures mentioned may algo be! mixed--one with three or two with four. In this way fuels can be ab-| tained that are composed with three of the original fuels-- benzine-ben- These two liquids, as well as the four first .named, are perfectly homogen- | ous. "Tests have been made with the] mixtures of benzine and petroleum and it was found that no changes in| the ordinary motor was required, When alcohol was fdded, a perforat- | ed lead disc was attached "to the! {float and an especially effective warm- | ing mechanism was attached. The _ benzine-spirit petrol can he! used up to the last drop with the motor always working well.
