There are three objectives to this drive-of the right wing Metz, Strassburg and Muelhauscn and the movement also seriously threatens the line of communications of the German force that has held St. Mihiel, south of Verdun, for the last two months. On the Flanders line, the fighting has developed no gains for either side, but north of ttlic Aisne and in the Argonnc the Allies claim the advan tage in artillery cqnjbats.

In tho forest of Oniric wo lmvo ad vanced slightly by mining. There liavo been no attacks by the enemy. On tho heights of tho Mouse thero was a Violent cannonade, tho enemy's batteries seeming to have been forced to withdraw toward the north. In tho Wonvro regloii, after having taken n lino of trenches on a front of S0O' yards In the forest of Mont martrc, our troops repulsed two vio lent counter attacks. In Alsncc, our advance has carried' . our front as far riB tho lino of tho hill 425 yards to tho north of Stcln- bach past tho bridge of Aspnch to tho bridge of Brlnlghoffcn. AUSTRIAN. Ill West Onllcla, -tho south wing of the nuEslnit army was defeated at I.lmatiovo and compelled to retreat. AVo are pursuing tho enemy. All at tacks along the rest of our battlo front failed, as did tho provlous ones. Our forces, which crossed the Car pathians after numorous battles, again continue an energetlo pursuit. In tho afternoon wo took Neu Sandcc. Our troops again liavo entered Brybow, Golllco and Zmlgrod. Tho enemy has completely evacuated tho Zemplln country. In general our troops hold the passes In Bukowlna along tho lino of tho Suczawa valley. In South Poland thero was no fight ing, North of Lonicz our allies mado u. successful attack ngalnst a strongly fortified Russian position. ' 11USSIAN. In the Jtlawa region we liavo brought our offensive to a successful conclusion on tho whole of tho front. On tho 12th we. captured a Gorman position In the region of Przasnysz and Tsekhanoff nnd chased tho retreating enemy toward, tho frontier. In this district also our cavalry mado a successful charge and inflfctcd very heavy losses upon the" enemy. On the front of Lowlcz-Ilow tho Gernians, charging stubbornly to tho attack, suffered important losses at tho hands of our troops, mho captured In HiIb region another position to tho north of the Bsura Itiver. In tho other regions on the left bank of tho Vistula nothing has occurred but unimportant encounters. To thoMwth of Cracow the situation Is. unchanged. The battle thero con tinues. Throughout December 11 there- was fighting In front of the villages' of Pyrousk, Esmer and Doutask (in Caucasia).. Tie enemy was every where repulsed and pursued beyond Euphrates' with severe losses. , ----GEftsfArr u-"""" Light' French attacks on our lines between the Mouse nnd tho Vosgcs were .easily repulsed. Following their unsuccessful attack on Apremont,- December 11, the French again attacked yesterday afternoon over a large front by way of Fllrey. The attack ended In the loss to the enemy of COO prisoners and a large number of men killed and Injured. Our losses In this engagement amounted to about 70 wounded. The rest of the day passed quietly In the western' theatre. In northern Poland we captured a number of the enemy's positions. taking ll.oco prisoners and 43 machine guns. There Is nq news from East Prussia or from southern Poland. The Itusslan captures south and east of Cracow, officially reported from Petrograd on December 11, nre un true. We did not lose a single man or gun In the region. The official French report of D camber 13. stating that our batteries and trenches had been captured, Is an Invention.

With Steel Cases. Orders for steel shrapnel cases for tho allied armies, which will amount bofore the completion of the order to nearly $1,000,000, have been received, by tho Kvo- land Engineering and Manufacturing Company, 2321-28 Market street. Work on tho first part of the order, to cost approximately 3800,000, will be started within a few days. According to S. S. Rvelnnd, nn official of tho com pany, tho order will bo repeated after each delivery until the completion of nearly 11,000,000 worth of aupplles. Tho Eyeland Company officials have no fear that tho shipment of projectile sup plies to Ruropcan armies will violate the neutrality requested In the proclamation -tiTMoHmt'llKJiiJecWnliirgto- ff.-TS: ftvelnud. The company Is willing to make shell rases for any of tho belliger ents, ho said. Already a substantial part of the first payment Is In the hands of tho Gvoland Company. Twenty-Hvo per cent, of the total amount for the purchase of ordnance Is on deposit with a Now York banking house. Orders will go to other manu facturers, It Is believed, but (the work, of tho Eveland Company will' be chiefly the manufacture of steel shrapnel cases. A few weeks ago a large order for wagon wheels for the European armies was completed by tho Eveland concern. The shell caBes have been ordered through purchasing agents In New York, supposed to bo representing the allied nations. Mr. Eveland said there was nothing in the order to show which of tho countries were contracting for tho supplies, but It Is believed they are Franco and England, , Money was - appropriated by the two nations who have placed the order, Mr. Eveland said, and the deal for the shell cases was then discussed with the Eve land officials. After that part of the money was deposited In New York. By the time the first part of tho order Is delivered the entire payment for it will have been made. As soon as tho first part of the order is completed word will be sent to begin on the second, it Is understood. The work will be continued In this fashion until shell cases to the value of nearly 31,000, 000 have been delivered, according to Mr, Eveland. "I do not believe we are violating the neutrality enjoined upon this country In agreeing to fill this order," Mr, Eveland said today, "I know of no law which prohibits us from manufacturing muni tions for a foreign belligerent. We would as readily sell to one nation as another. We dp not consider that we ore siding with the Allies by taking the order for shells for their armies, "Tho manufacture of munitions for warring nations by firms In the United Btates is supported by precedents of 100 years' standing. Within the year Presi dent Wilson ordered that arms and othe. munitions would bo shipped Into Mexico If any orders for them were placed, The embargo was lifted. I cannot see any difference between our sanctioning the shipment of guns to kill Mexicans .and the sale of weapons to kill European belligerents." The, Eveland company has long been manufacturing, ordnance. According to a. S. Rvelan'd, his firm designed many of the. gpnmounts for. the disappearing rifles for coast defense at Sandy Hook and the approaches of tho Panama Canal.

LONDON, Dec. II. Tha British submarine U-U, attached to the International war fleet, which has been bombarding the Turkish forts at tho western entrance of tho Dardanelles, has forced a passago of that waterway by diving beneath the mine fields with which It Is lined and torpedoed the Turkish bat tleship Messudlyeh.

Men out of work In this city and the surrounding suburbs are grumbling today at the mean trick played on them by Jack Frost yesterday In raising their hopes for a little "Christmas money" and then falling to make good. When the light artillery of; the north opened yesjerday morning with snow that soon was falling In thick flakes and swirl ing Into miniature drifts, thousands of the unemployed got out their shovels and prepared for a busy afternoon cleaning sidewalks. Others got ready to go to work for the contractors cleaning streets under city contracts. Hallroads and traction (companies bad machinists look over the big snow plows and sweepers arid laid plans for calling out forces of workmen to keep the lines open. The skies assumed a leaden hue. and afte"rNthe Hakes had been falling an hour the weather would have been called extremely "tlilck" by a seaman. All the prospects were for a continued and severe snowstorm, probably a blizzard. BLIZZARD TIES UP RAILROADS Heavy Tall of Snow in Upper New I, York State.

A majority of Councilman want Taylor high-speed transit. The .Comprehensive development plan, therefore, seems as sured to Philadelphia. A majority In each chamber has gone on record to support the Director of City Transit. Politics has nothing to do with the question. Tho demand from every section of Phil adelphia by tho people who ride, backed up by the action taken by every business mon's organization, .determined the attl ture of tho city legislators. Jn face of the overwhelming request for .real rapid transit, only two Councllmen of the city's 132 had the temerity to announce their opposition to the Director's plan, In addi tion to Peter K Costello, whoso anti speed ordinance, Introduced a few days ago, was generally condemned. They aro John J. McKInley. Jr., Select Councilman, of tho 33d Ward, and Fred crick Schwarz, Jr., Common Councilman of the 43th Ward. The attitude of every member of Coun cils on tho Taylor plan was obtained by tho Kvenino LcDdKn. The summary shows (hat a total of 79 In both chambers favor and will work for tho adoption of the Director1!! proposed high-speed sys tem, while 49 aro non-committal. TAYLOIt SUIIE OK MAJOIUTY. ,Ono member of Select Council. George W. Kucker. of the 2Qth Ward, could not be found.

Of tho -is members of Select Council 3 Indorse Mr. Taylor's plan, one Is opposed and IS are non-committal. In the lower chamber CI Indorse the Director's plan, two ara opposed, Including Mr, Costello, and 31 are non-committal. A lnrge number of those In Jhe non committal list are opposed to the Costello "ordinance, and did not declare themselves because they "had not looked Into Mr, Taylor's plans." Many of tha "non committals" went so far as to say that they were Inclined to favor the Direc tor's proposed system, but could not go positively on record at this time. Advocates of the Taylor plan say they cannot understand how any Councilman In the city has the slightest excuse for unfamlllarlty with the plans of the pro posed high-speed transit syxterp. .for the reason that Mr. Taylor has gone to every section of the city and thoroughly ex plained the plans with maps and charts at public meetings. These were thor oughly representative gatherings, and many were attended by Councllmen who had the Interest of their constituents at heart. DirtECTOR'S TOUIt CLINCHED VICTOUY, That Mr. Taylor's tour of the city bora fruit Is evidenced by the fact that every business and Improvement organization In every section approved his plans, pledged their support and decldedjto par. tlclpate In the transit parade on January 14, which will be followed by a mass meeting at the Academy of Music The business men say Ignorance of the transit plans will not bo accepted by them. They desire to know the attitude of the men who represent them in Councils. Many organizations have de cided to Invite their respective Council men to special meetings that they may learp their attitude on the question.
