FRENCH
Between the sea and the Lys nothing
happened during the day of December
Zt except artillery conflicts.
Between the Lys And the Aisne wo
rolled back a German attack which
tried to debouch from Cnrency and
we took some house at BlanKy. An
attack by tho enemy upon Mamets
and neighboring trenches were not per
mitted by our troops to make any- ap
preciable progress from that side. In
the region of Llhona three attacks by
the enemy havo been repulsed. We
have made a slight gain to tho cast
and to the west of Tracy-le-Val. Our
artillery successfully shelled the pla
teau of Nouvron.
In the sectors of tho Aisne and ot
nhelms there were artillery conflicts.
In the Champagne, region and In tho
Argonne around Soualn there were
violent bayonet combats. We have
made appreciable progress In that re
gion. We captured In the environs " of
I'erthes-le, Hurlus three German wdrk
representing a front of 1500 yards ot
trenches. To the northeast of Beau
scjour, we fortified the position taken
on December 20. and occupied all tho
trenches which border upon tho sum
mit of Calvalrc.
In the forest of Oniric our prtgress
continues. At St. Hubert wo repulsed
an attack. In the Bolanta forest,
where some ground had been lost, wo
retook the two tiers of trenches.
Botween the Argonne and the Mcuso
wo advance's slightly to tho environs
of Vn.uo.uols. Td the north of the
forest of Malaucourt our troops suc
ceeded In crossing a wire entangle
ment' and In capturing some trenches,
where the enemy has hold Its position
on the right bank of the Meuse.

At NIeuport and around Tpres It
was generally quiet yesterday. In
the region around Mchebourg tho Al
lies succeeded In obtaining a Arm foot
hold In their old position. Yester

Ordered to recapture positions lost
Mondav at Festubert and Owenchy,
the Englluh. reinforced by French
territorial forces, made desperate at

but all were repulsed.
In the western part of the Argonne
forest, we captured a few French
trenches. In the eastern part, north
west of Verdun. French attacks
against our lines were repulsed with
heavy losses to th French.
In tho eastern theatre of war the
situation Is unchanged In Cast Prus
sia. In Poland our troops are en
gaged In ti fierce battle for branches
of the Bsura ond Bawka Rivers. In

advance, are furiously but vainly
striving to force an opening in the,
Russian line of defense. The Czar's
hosts again have straightened their
lines and are moving forward slowly
but definitely, repeating the 'history of
the first German invasion by rolling
the foe's legions back to his own
borders. Furious battle rages for the
possession of Sbchacrew, 30 miles
west of Warsaw. In the far north
of Poland the Germans have been
forced across the East Prussian
frontier, while in the. extreme south
pressure has been increased at
Przemys! and in the Cracow advance
Russian and Austro-German armies,
numbering more than 800,000 men, are
arrayed, 'against each, other in Galicia
along an east and west front of more
than 100 miles. Austrian initiative for
the relief of Przemyal has precipitated
a sanguinary battle, in which infantry
forces are mainly engaged as the ter
ritory is too difficult for cavalry
movements or artillery duels.
Reports from London say a
gigantic force of territorials is
massed at the Pyramids, in Egypt, to
meet the Turkish invasion. Turkish
troops, it is reported, continue to be
transported across the BJack Sea to
ward. Batum, unmolested by the Rus-
sian fleet.

( "America has not raised: its voice in
protest and lias taken llttlo or no action
against England's closing of the Nortli
Sea' to neutral shipping. What will
America say if Germany declares sub
marlno war on nil enemy merchant

Grand Admiral on Tirpitz, Mlnlsterof
Marine, regarded, tho strongest man in
the German Government, ?nd possible
next Imperial Chancellor, and whose
marvelous organizing genius Is largely
responsible for Germany's fleet, peered
sharply at mo as he leaned forward and
put tho question to roe In tho first inter
view ho has ever granted an' American
correspondent.
"Why not?" he continued. "England
wants to starve us I We can play tbe
same game. We can bottle it Up and
torpedo every English or Allies' ship
which ncars any harbor In Great Britain,
thereby cutting off largo food supplies."
Admiral vopTlrpltz slowly repeated ths
first question.
, WHAT WOULD V. S. SAYT
"What wouli-Amerlca say7 Would not
such action be only meting out to Ens

who fled beforo the German advance, and,
on the door of which was a cardboard,

Mentally and physically, von Tlrplti is

diately plunged into an analysis of his
view ot the causes that led to the war,
and traced the growth of sea and world
power developed by England until, as he
put It, "the domineering arrogance of
the British culminated In the present war
which England engineered In order to
crush the natural growth and develop
ment of the power of the German Eta
plre."
GEItMANY FOB, PEACE.
"Britain's domination ot the sea," ha
declared, "was originally founded on
piracy, while its power on land was
established by robbery In all parts ot
the wprld. England and England alone
Is responsible for this war. Did Germany
want anything? Did Qermany make any
demands on any oneT Did Germany
have any quarrel with any one? Hoi
it only wanted to be let alone to con-.

"England's anti-Germany policy
