Petrograd, Jan. 24.--On the south- ern and Rumanian 'fronts nejther Austro-German nor Russian officers have hgen able to keep fraternization within 'the agreed bounds. The en- emy trenches are full of Russians and the Russian trenches are full of the enemy. My informant believes it will be quite impossible to make the Austrians fight the Russians again. "1 have seen cases of actual fight- ing with artillery between Austrians and Germans," he said. "And it is not impossible that this may become an'important factor in the event of any attempt to further the German advance." + With regard to starving Russian ! troops on the Rumanian front he confirms that this is the case with those Russian armies whose lines 'of communication were under Ruman- ian control. These armies are now 80 disposing of themselves that their food and forage supplies pass through Russian hands only. He further con- firms the rumors of a strong revolu- tionary movement among the Ruman- fans. » BARON IS INTERNED _ | Son-In-Law of Founder of New York - Yacht Club, ? i New York, Jan. 24.--Baron \Gus- ave von Hasperg, son-in-law of the | late Commodore McVickar, a founder of the New York Yacht Club, is in-~ I ternea on Ellis Island, pending an in- vestigation. of alleged activities in New York, on behalf of Germany, it became known tonight.

In the guise of a paid agent of Wolf von Igel, who was secretary to Captain Boy-Ed, former German naval attache, Barth said he formed the acquaintance of some of the al- leged plotters. Eugene Reister, one of the defendants, had admitted, ac- cording to Barth, ence he attended in' Brooklyn the main topic was the placing of bombs on steamships that were to sail from this port. Barth said that 'Reister also ad- mitted that Waiter Uhde and Joseph Zeffert had been employed in carry- ing bombs on' several occasions to persons known to them as 'the West side people." The facet that these men carried hombs to the West Side previous to the sinking of the Lusitania, Barth said, led to his belief that they Nad been placed on the ill-fated vessel. Barth testified that after he h gained the confidence of Captal Chatfles von Kleist, a German steam- ship engineer, he told him 'all about the making of fire bombs for the des- truction of sugar and munition- car- rying steamships." Von Kleist also told him, Barth declared, that five vessels had been destroyed by fire bombs, and com- plained that while some of the men in the plot had made considerable money out of the conspiracy, he had not been given his share. AUSTRIA | NOW SEES THE HANDWRITING Idea of Sending Austrians to West Front Roundly Condemned. Amsterdam, Jan. 24. --Nearly all the Austrian democratic papers are loud in condemnation of Germany's war policy, and it is clear that _Aus- tria is thoroughly tired of working {for .the King of Prussia." In'short, the Dual Monarchy---for Hungary's voice is with that of thé fhusirian people--sees only disaster fi the protofigation of the war. The idea of sending Austrian and Hun: garfan soldiers to fight on the west- orn front is roundly condemned ev- érywhere, and no more talk of it is now heard in responsible quarters. Late Berlin papers, with one ex. ception, observe comparative silence With regard to the state of pairs in Austria. That exception -is Vor- waerts, which devotes a prominent ncticle on its front page to the sit- uation, which it regards as one of extreme gravity. 8 - 100 MINERS ENTOMBED + ACADIA MINES. : Halifax, N.8., Jan. 24.--- : '% One hundred miners were en- # % tombed" after an explosion in # the Acadia mines at Stellar- : ton.

A Warning Given Before the Can- adian Society of Civil Engineers A Committee Will Be Asked to Study Conditions. Montreal, Jan 24 Warning that Canada may face a fuel famine in the near future was given by B. ¥. Haa- nel, chief of the division of fuels and testing, department of mines, paper read gt the annual conven- Engineers. He pointéd out the pos- sibility of a situation arising which would cause the United States to keep her fuel within her own coun- try, and such an emergency migh! come before long, he said. Mr. Haanel expressed the belief that Canada need pot be dependent upon the United States for its fuel, as there are large lignite and peat resources in this country which ean be developed and converted into isfactory fuel. He sald the princiy fuel resources of the Dominion are bituminous and anthracite coal, ig- nite and peat. The coals are in the extréme east and west, and large fields of Hgnite and peat are in Al erta and Saskatchewan. He claim- 'ed that peat could be economically converted into fuel, and seven bogs conveniently situated with reference to Toronto and seven near Montreal could be made to supply from 23, 000,000 to $26,000,000 tons of fuel. It was agreed that a committee of engineers should study the develop- 'ment of Canada's water power, NEW BRIGADIERS _ TO BE O BE APPOINTED Officers in New British Army Will Be ivan London, Jan.
