EYEWITNESS OF EVENTS
ALOSG BATHE LINE IN
FHANCE RELATES STORY
Paris, Dec. 21. 11 P. M. —The
French war office to-night made a re
port of an eye witness of events along
the battle line* from December 7 to
December 10. It says:
"During the period from the sev
enth to the fifteenth of December, the
ascendency gained by our infantry has
placed us in a position to make, in
various sections of the front, progress
which seems to have disturbed the
enemy.
"The German infantry is more
cautious, and continuous sniping by
them denotes a certain amount of ner
vousness. The fact that they are using
searchlights and lighting rockets more
and more reveals their fear of attacks.
Batteries Showing Superiority
' 4 After the expensive and useless
experiments of .last month, our adver
sjjies set-in almost everywhere to be
reduced to defensive measures and it
is we who on the while of the front
have assumed the «ffensi>e.
"Also, iu the artillery duels, our
batteries are showing most and more
their superiority.
'•Between the sea ami the Lys river
the enemy, who from the seventh to
the ninth instant had contented them
selves with bombarding our lines and
particularly the city of Ypres, on the
tenth instant directed to the south of
that city three infantry attacks against
our trenches.
"The first two of these attacks were
lepulsed. The third, reached our first
line of trenches, but on the following
night we regaineil this position. On
the 12th the enemy made another at
tack which also was repulsed.
Infantry Took the Offensive
"On the 14th our infantry took the
offensive, in spite of the exceedingly
muddy condition of the field and suc
ceeded 'in capturing a German trench
several hundred metres in" length.
"The next div, with the co-opera
tion of the Belgian troojw, we succeed
ed in sallying forth from Nieuport
and taking a position on the western
outskirts of the villages of Lo-mbaert
zyde a.nd Saint Georges.
During all these engagement the
German artillery gave their infantry
very poor assistance.
"Between the Lys and the Oice our
progress has nol been less marked. On
the 7th, Vermelles as well as the vil
lage of Rutoire fell into our hamds. We
discovered that the houses were mined.
The explosives were in place but the
engineers had not time to fire them.
In the streets were found a number of
bodies and a large quantity of war ma
terials which hail been abandoned.
"The occupation of Vermelles by
our troops had forced the enemv to
fall back three kilomertres (about two
miles).
German Sapping Tunnel Blown Up
"On the 9th in front of ParviHers
an.l Foupuosoourt we made fresh pro
gress. In this section we are onlv 100
metres (about 300 feet) from the
German trenches.
"On the 11th, to the east of the
road to Lille, we blow u.p by a mine
a German sapling tunnel. Our zouaves
and sappers were quick in springing
into the excavation made b_v the explo
sion. Once there they bombarded thtj
German trenches.
"The same day near Li hows one of
our mines was detonated and blew up
and destroyed a Gorman mine. The
enemy's sappers were thrown into the
air in the midst of a cloud of smoke.
"In spite of the cold and the rains,
which make bogs of the trenches, the
health and the morale of our troops
remain perfect. They show ingenuity
in remedying the dampness of the
trenches and the crumbliius of the em
bankments by various systems of in
terlacing linvos of trees, like wicker
work, and using corrugated sheet iron
rooting, the doors of houses, planks and
other timber.
"A German prisoner declared himself
impressed by toe good spirits of the
French troops, which he said contrasted
with the weariness of bis comrades. Our
troops well fed and warmly clad, arc
full of confidence.
"On the 12th a German soldier came
toward our trenches holding in one hand
some cigars and in the other a proclama
tion announcing several Russian de
feats. He had no time to make negotia
tions: a well aimed bullet brought his
attempt to an end.
" Between the Oisne and the Argoune
from the 7th lo toe 16th, there was an
artillery fuel all along toe front almost
every day. There was no intervention
by the infantry except on the night of
7th-Bth, during a German attack on
Tracy-le-Val, which was easily repulsed.
'' The German artillery is being train
ed on cities and villages. The 7th the
Germans bombarded Hoissons and from
the 19th to the lath, Tracy-le-Val. On
the 10th the outskirts of.Rheims were
bombarded, 12 th the c-ity itself was
shelled and on the 14th the Germans
turned their guns on the village of
Secrov.
"Our artillery replied always anil
often with success.
Enemy Still Shows Activity
"It is in the Argonne that the enemy
still shows the most activity.
"The sapping war is mixed with in
fantry attacks. On the 7th, in the for
est of I,a Grurie, we detonated one of
our nines and pushed further one of our
tienches. On the Nth we made progress
to the forest of Rolande.
"To the west of Perthes, we exploded
three mines and immediately afterwards
one of our battalions stormed the first
line of German trenches, which we cap
tured. Twice the enemy made vain and
costly attempts to recapture the trenches
tfhey had lost to the west of Perthes.
"On the 10th we continued toward
'Bagatelle. A German officer, who in
vited our soldiers to surrender, was shot
tihrough the head. At St. Hubert, after
■fierce fighting, we succeeded in holding
our front except at one point, where we
immediately threw up a back trench.
"On the llth we had to sustain in
the forest of IM Grurie and at Bolante
a bombardment. The enemy by the use
of outposts attempted to interfere with
our works at Haute Ohevouehe. Thoy
attacked us vainly with rifle fire, but
succeeded in blowing up one of our
treno<hes with a mine. On the 12th
German mines caused us to lose iu the
same laces some other trenches.
"We established a barrier in the
forest of La Grurie. We gained 250
metres on the 12th ami continued to
advance slightly on the 13th. On the
15th we blew up a German sapping
work aiul ''made some slight progress
(•>0 metres) in t'he southern part of
Rolande. \
'•From the Vrgonne to Hie Swissi
t rontier, in the region of Varenne and
on the heights of the Mcuse the eneinv's
artillery alone shows activity. On the
10th the enemy bombarded the region
of C'uisv.
"On the 12th and 13th the village
of Auberville was bombarded and on
the 14th the railway- near that place
and also tJhe railway station at Clermont
were shelled.
•On the 11th our guns hit a column
on the march near Varness.
"By having an aviator direct the
hre our artillerists succeeded in smash
ing two German batteries, one of heaw
ordnance and the other an anti-aero
plane gun
"Between the Mcuse and the Moselle
in the forest of La Pretre from the
i th to the 11th we gained ground ev
eiy day and took many prisoners. The
morale of these men Was very low.
Tier declared that their officers had
given orders not to shoot lest in doing
so they should bring upon themselves
the French fire.
Couldn't Hold Trenches Because of Mud
Ihe attacks we made against the
foiest of Rentiers and the forest of La
Sennarte were not so successful. We
had been able to capture the first line
of the German trenches. Hut from a
second line, which we had been unable
to batter with our guns, a violent Are
was directed against our soldiers. They
held their ground, however, against this
counter attack. They were knee deep
in mud and unable to manage their
fire properly The counter attack,
therefore, brought them to reason and
the Germans reoccupied their trenches,
but could not sally forth against ours!
"On the same day we returned and
attacked the Germans again and, in
spite of the extreme difficulty caused
by the marshy ground, we regained a
line of trenches 500 metres long.
"On the 12th one of our aeroplanes
succeeded in setting on tire a military
train at Pagn-Sur-Moselle. On the 1 3t'h
thy station at Commerce ami the near
byf country were bombarded.
'' In the Vosges the positions we have
gained are held by us ill spite of all
the German attacks.'
' ' We made progress on the 10th, cap
turing the station at Ashach, to the
southeast of Thann.
French Gain and Lose Steinbach
"On the 13th we occupied the hills
to the northeast of Cernay and the
village of Steinbach. An offensive
move by the enemy was repulsed. The
Germans had heavy losses on the 14th.
The enemy again attacked our positions
and succeeded, with heavy sacrifices, in
reoccupving Steinbach. The Germans,
however, were unable to advance far
ther, and the hills which dominate Cer
nav remain in our possession.
"On the 15th a new German attack
I'fliled and our connection is assured
with our troo|>s around Belfort, who also
have made progress.
"The eitv of Thann, which had hith
erto been spared, was bombarded on
the 1 Ith and 13til. Five persons were
killed, among them a girl.
"On the 1 3th our aviators succeeded
in dropping bomibs on the railway sta
tion and the aviation hangars at Frei
burg-Baden.
''ln short, at many points we have
I made attacks which have succeeded.
• Nowhere have we abandoned what we
'have gained. Everywhere the eneniv
j has taken the defensive, which has giv
j en our troops confidence of their supe
i riority."

Half a dozen of the score or more
defendants in the county court who yes
terday said they were willing to plead
J guilty to various criminal charges on
j Which they were arrested, were re
! manded back to jail, and their cases
will not be disposed of for at least a
I week and probably not until the regular
! (Quarter Sessions, beginning January 11,
Paul S-hlictet told the Judges," late
•j yesterday afternoon, that he stole be-
I cause his wages are small. He was
, paroled upon the petition of his brother
in-law, who promised to put the lad to
' work.
An appeal for leniency sent in by his
school teacher saved Albert Smith, who
confessed to a larceny ciharge, from go
ing to jail. The Court sus|>ended sen
' tence and directed Smith to appear at
the March sessions.
Clayton Rife got four months on a
