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 treno0 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." TEACHER'S PLEA SAVES YOUTH FROM PRISON I | Court Shows Leniency When Instructor Intervenes—Husband, Charged With Non-Maintenance, Is Ordered to Em ploy Housekeeper for 111 Wife 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 ; contempt of court -charge. He tried to "duck" paying his wife maintenance money under a court order and was suc j eessful for a year. 'He was apprehended in York several days ago. I Herbert Drnmmond was ordered to return home and provide for 'his family when he was called on a non-mainte nance charge. Mrs. Drummond is ill and the father and husband complained that his 14-vear-old daughter will not | act as housekeeper. The Court agreed with the little girl's suggestion that tfhe should be in school and directed the de • fern dan t to get a housekeeper. WIELDS HATPIN IN '' MOVIE' i Youth Is Stabbed Twice as He Argues With Girl New \ ork, Dec. 22 —Screams sound , ed last iiiight at the performance in a moving picture theatre at Miller and Sutter avenues, Brooklyn, and Samuel Sehulman, 19, 102 Cook street, cried that some one had stabbed him twice in fhe breast with a hatpin. The police came and called Dr. Sage frfin Hushwick hospital. Sehulman and Miss Yetta Dolgoff, 44 8 Miller avenue, attended the theatre together. They had an argument and while it was in progress a person sitting in a rear seat reached forward and jabbed the pin into Sehulman. Dr. Sage said Rchulman's wounds were not serious and he was taken home. 5
