\u201cIn the vicinity of Perthes all th | counter attacks of the enemy on posi-i tions conquered by us December 22nd were successfully repulsed.To the northwest of Mesnil Les Hurlis were i occupied German trenches for a distance of 400 yards, and we drove back a counter attack.The Germans endeavored to take the offensive in the direction of Ville Sur Tourbe, but j our artillery dispersed them.In the ; Argonne we took possession of a piece of ground in th» forest of La Grurie, and in the vicinity of Bagatelle we repulsed a German attack.\u201cIn the region of Verdun the prevalence of fog made impossible the conduct of any operations of import-i ance.The enemy delivered a counter ! attack, but without success, in the forest of Consenvoye.In the forest of Apremont our artillery demolished and caused the enemy to evacuate several trenches.In the Woevre district the French artillery reduced certain German batteries to silence.In the region of Ban Do Sapt, to the northeast of St.Die, our infantry advanced with a rush and established itself on the territory thus gained.\"There is nothing to report from upper Alsace.\u201d including the cost of the war.GERMANS CHANGE THEIR GROUND In Poland the centre of interest has shifted slightly to the south.Finding the direct road to Warsaw blocked by Russian reinforcements, the Germans made an attack from the south-» west and have reached Skierniewice, which is some forty miles from the Polish capital.They have thus far failed to pierce the Russian lines, it , is claimed, but they have forced Grand Duke Nicholas to Withdraw his forces from beforBte, Cracow.In this, one of their chief aims of their offensive against Russia, the Germans have been successful.In Galicia, Russia has assumed the oflensive against the Austro-Gennan forces, which hav» poured in from the west and across the Carpathians.According to the latest Petrograd report the Russians have inflicted heavy losses on these forces, while in the north they have pursued back into the interior of East Prassia a small German army which made a feint at Warsaw from the north-west.ACTIVITY ON THE BELGIAN COAST Although the allies have scored some successes in the buttles in the west, they are meeting with very stubborn resistances and military men warn the public that very heavy cas-.unity iists must be expected before | any serious impression can be made on the German entrenchments.Activity seems to have been resumed along the Belgian coast, for it has been announced that slight progress has been made by the allies between the sea and the road from Nieuport to Westende.At other points similar fighting is proceeding with here success and there reverse, or failure 0f attack.Tbe airmen of both sides have been extremely busy and aeroplanes have been swarming over Belgium, the aviators reconnoitering movements of the opposing troops and occasionally dropping'bombs.Bruges j an|t Brussels have been visited by aviators from the ranks of the allies while Bethune and other towns in i northern France have received attention from the Germans./|J\\ little tohttt of $etf)Ief)cm; lly1 gtill Uie see tijee Ueî gftjobe tfjp beep anb breamlestë sleep Œ&e gtïent ôtars; go bp; J9et fn tfjp bark street gfunetb Œbe ebérlasting Higïjt; topes anb fears of all tfje pears &re met in tfjee to%tgf)t.j.J- not be delivered after Thurs- 4« \u2022> day, 24th inst., until Mon- y T day, 28th inst.\ty ÏALLATT!
