aUtement Issued here this afternoon. It
olBtom'-sucooasea for tho Allies alone the
sreat biUio front at virtually every point
hut! one, "where tho Oermam mined nnd
litvr up a. French trench. This was In
1hs Alsnn region, whero Infantry attache,
with AdvkntaEta to tho French, are also
nported.
Particularly severe dentins Is In prog
ress in Uie Arsonno, where several Qef- :
man trenches hare been carried ot the
paint ot the bayonet Along the heights
of the Mouse the French artillery main
tains Its advantage, while In tho Vosgcs
points iron by tho French In their ad
vance against Motz havo been' held dciplte
furious counter attacks.
The Allies' defensive movement In West
Flnriaors, -Klilch sems to have been' con
centrated In an attempt to advance
fIns$ . Haulers, Is meeting' -with 'nerco'
counter attacks by the Germans both
north and south of Tpres. Night attacks
have again becomo a feature of tho strug
gle In western Belgium, and so tcrrlfla
Is tho artillery duel that tho sound of the
btr suns can 6e heard at Hazebrouck, 20
miles away from the sceno of action.
On tho extreme northern end of the line
west of Nleuport thero Is a heavy can
nonade. German guns were kept In ac
tion against the Franco-Belgian lines all
night. It Is reported from Fumes.'
In that region the Germans have been
struggling vigorously- to make, whnt
progress they ccAild while tho storms pre
vented tho French and British warships
from shelling their lines, but now that
the gales ore abating the International
war fleet will again be able to take part
In tho operations.
German' prisoners report that, the bulk
of; the cavalry which had been., massed
la West Flanders, when the .German
, drive against the coast wan begun, has
been sent to Poland. On the other hand,
big sections of French and British cavalry
have been turned into foot forces, nnd
the 'men are fighting In the trenches
alongside of tho regular infantrymen.
Tho French military men in Paris say
the attempts of the Germans to 'cross
the flooded zone around Dlxmude on flat
bottom boats have proved a costly failure.
It Is reported from Hazebrouck that
tho pressure of the French and British
has become so strong against the Germans-holding
the lines In fronUot VprCB,
enpcslal.ly since Posscheridaeli fell 'Into
the hands of the English, that German
headquarters have been removed from

TAIUS, Dec. .
Twenty thousand Austrian troops' have

the Journal correspondent In tho south

Nish says!
"When tho Serbs In a supremo offensive
pierced tho Austrian centre 20,000 Aus
trlans were separated from the main
body nnd wandered aimlessly through tho
hilly country In small groups until cap
tured.
"An Irremedlal defeat forced the Aus-
trlans to abandon their drive toward cen

ordor to divert the attention of the Serbs.

AMERICANS SEEK RELEASE
OF BARON HELD BY BRITISH
Von Horst Was Citizen of United
States Before He QotTltlo.
LONDON, Dec. , The American Em
bassy Is taking an active Interest ln the
efforts to obtain the release from deten
tion of Baron loula von Horst, who
claims American citizenship, and who Is
now held as an alien enemy.
Von Horst Is quartered In the old liner
Prince Edward, where a largo number ot
prisoners are placed. His case has been
attracting much attention, his friends In
cluding such well-known men as Franklin
Lane, Governor Johnson, of California,
and Otto II. Kahn. They have proposed
that tho British Government release him
on the promle that he Immediately pro
ceed to California and remain there until
tho end of the war.
Von Horst was once an American citi
zen through his father's naturalization,
and was a candidate for public office In
Brooklyn. A few years ago he obtained
the title of baron from the Duke ot Saxe
Coburg. He believed that this vitiated
his citizenship, and thereafter declared
himself a German subject. WTicn the war
began he registered as such with the Lon
don police. Later, after being placed in
a detention camp, he raised the point that
his mere acceptance of a title did not de
stroy his citizenship.
The United States State Department has
been wrestling .with the problem, and has,
It Is said, practically reached a decision
that the Baron Is an American. There are
still doubtful points, however, and today
Second Secretary Bell of the Embassy
will go to obtain certain statements from
Baron von Horst.
There Is no doubt that the British Gov
ernment suspects von Horst of being a
dangerous alien. He has taken part In
numerous agitations, Including the suf
fragette movement and strikes.
DIXMUDE NOW IN ALLIES'
HANDS, RUMOR IN BRUGES
Advance Along: Coast Said to
Threaten German Flank.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 9.
It is rumored In Bruges that the Allies
now possess Dlxmude and have advanced
to Zevecote, near GhUtelles. This rumor,
however, is unconfirmed, says tho corre
spondent of tho Telegraaf at Sluls, who
sends It in a dispatch to that paper.
Zevecote Is about seven miles directly
east of Nleuport and but six miles from
the seucoast. Ghlstelles Is two miles fur
ther to the east. The report, If true,
would indicate that the Allies have made
the most substantial gain that has been
effected by either side since the en
trenched Hue was formed along theTstr
River about the middle of October. Ghlst
elles Is on the railway line as well as on
ine mgnway irom Ustend to Thorout.

"Many Good Men Gone'
Letter from Private A. O. iJlleftlfff
London Bcottiih, to hit mother at
Brlxton-hill, 8. W.
You will have heard by now that our
battalion has been In action and greatly
distinguished Itself. When the order was
given our half-company was, by some
most unfortunate oversight, overlooked,
Consequently we woro not In action.
Wo left on the 3d, at 6 p. m., and
marched or eight miles or so, and put
up for the night. In tho morning we
marched about the same distance, and
Joined the rest of the battalion. We have
a comfortable billet here, and most of
us slept for 10 dr 13 hours last night.
The battalion has been withdrawn from
the firing line, and no one knows If It Is
going baok again. At any rate. It can
not go for some time yet, as most of tho
men have lost their Tlflen nnd equipment
In action.
On Tuesday we were quartered in the
town hall, and before we left the ond of
tho building was hit, and one or- two
shells burst between that and the ca
thedral just behind. One or two houses
down tho street were also blazing fu
riously, nnd so wo were not at all sorry
to leave tho place.
By all accounts the battalion has done
great things, nnd the losses are not so
heavy as was at first thought, although
many good men have gone.
