PARIS, Dec. 19.-The French war
office this afternoon gave out an Of
ficial statement as follows:
During the day OF December Is
we organized in Belgium the terri
tory won from the enemy the even
ing before to the south of Dixmude
and we advanced our front to the
south of Korteker. Our advance
south OF Ypres has been continued,
over a very difficult and swampy ter
ritory. From the Lys to the Disc VIC
have progressed in the region Of
Notre Dame de Consolation, south OF
LeBasse by more than one kilometer.
During the last two days we also
made progress in the direction of
Carency, st. Laurent and Blangy. In
spite of the very spirited counter at
tacks the positions taken by us De-
cember IL have been retained.
In the region of Albert during the
night from December IL to 1S, and
during the day of the eighteenth we
advanced under a very violent fire of
the enemy and we reached the
barbed wire entanglements of the
second line OF German trenches. To
the north of Maricourt we were
obliged to abandon trench, aban-
doned the night. before by the ene-
my and set on fire by means of hand
grenades. Several German trenches
have been occupied in the region of
Mamets. In the vicinity of Lyhons,
three violent counter attacks on the
part of the Germans have been re-
pulsed.
I'm the region OF the Aisne there
have been artillery engagements and
in Champagne the artillery of the
enemy showed increased activity on
December 18 as compared to the sew
enteenth. In the Argonne, in the
forest of LaGrurie we blew up Ger
man undermining trench. Near st.
Hubert the enemy by a very spirited
attack succeeded in making slight
progress.
1t has been confirmed that on the
heights of the Meuse our fire demol-
ished two heavy batteries Of the en-
cmy. From the Meuse to the vosges
there is nothing to report. In the
Vosges there has been spirited Ger
man rife firing but no attacks. .
