Seems as Though an Entirely
New Battle Is About to Be !. +
Fought. gas

London, Dec. 5.-Although fighting
of more or less serious character is
occurring both at the eastern and
western fronts, there have been no
material changes in the positions OF
the belligerents during the last four
hours 1t would seem that both
fronts of the vast armies are engaged
in making preparations for new bat
ties. Ssg
In Poland. the Germans, whose dars
ing stroke to penetrate the Russian
center has apparently failed with
heavy losses, according TO PetrOgrad
reports, are forcing a new line, ex-
tending roughly from kutno in the
north, to Cracow in the south.
1t would thus seem that an entirely
new battle is about to be fought, for
the Germans are determined at all
costs to keep the Russians from their
territory. ~
On the western front there is little
fighting in that part of Belgium held
by The Allies. The French have TAX
on some old German trenches, which
has given rise to the belief that the
Germans have decided to fall back to
new positions. ...-,,..
Operations of a more serious i'm
port are occurring along the borders
of Alsace-Lorraine. In Upper Alsace
the French have apparently made CON
siderable progress. They are also
making desperate efforts to sever all
means Of communication OF the Ger
man force which is holding st. Mihiel.

How five hundred French troops

The French soldiers were sleeping
in church at LamDerisse The spy
gained access to the belfry and dis

troops. A bombardment Immediately
followed and the sleeping men were
cut to pieces by the exploding shells,
which also set fire to the straw on
which they had been lying.

The number Of lives lost in a great

them the British cruiser, Venus, to go

the resumption OF the conference be.

pressed that an agreement to end the

learned that representative of the
men had held a. secret conference lasi
night and when operators heard OF
that they said that peace depended on
what new proposals representatives
of the strikers made today
