French Dash on Rhine
District Alarms Berlin
Invasion of Alsace and Lorraine Re
garded as Grave Menace-Paris
Announces Success in Flanders.

London.-The French are fighting
their way toward Metz in Lorraine
and Strassburg in Alsace. Paris ex-
poets that the column in Lorraine
will cut the German communications
between Metz and st. Mihiel and
that Muehausen and Altkirch will
soon fall to the invaders.
The official reports of the fighting
in Flanders and Artois confirm the
unofficial reports that the Allies have
taken the offensive and are attacking
hard. The French and British in
Flanders and France drove the Ger
mans from trenches and villages they
had held for many weeks. A gale
of sleet and snow is sweeping over
the northern area.
Berlin admits officially that the AL
lies continue the offensive both at the
east and west, but asserts that the
Germans maintained successful de-
fence in Flanders, in northern France,
in the Argonne and south of Metz
Paris confirms what has been
known for weeks in military circles,
that the Germans have lost their
early superiority in heavy field ar
tillery and that the Allies have now
more powerful and more numerous
guns than the invaders. The sig
nifcance of the news from the French
point of view is that the Allies have
the metal to stop any German ad-
vance and to support an offensive OF
their own.

EAST AND WEST FRONTS ACTIVE

Rotterdam.-The German army in
Western Poland, reinforced and with
its lines reformed, is making a vio-
lent effort to break through the Rus
sian front southwest Of LodZ and
force a way to Warsaw. The Rus
slams thus far have held their lines.
The Russians in Galicia are mounting
siege guns at Wieliczka, which will
reach the outer forts of Cracow. This
stronghold is the door to Vienna, Bres-
lau and Berlin.
The Germans have renewed their at
tack on the Allies and the fighting
now extends along nearly the whole
battle line in France and Belgium.
The attack was preceded by a daring
attempt of the Germans to cross the
User in the dark hours before dawn.
They were discovered, however. and
repulsed. They have advanced at no
point so far.

BETRAYED BY CHURCH LIGHTS,

Spy Found Frenchmen Sleeping and
SignaIed Germans.
London.-How 500 French troops
were betrayed by spy on Tuesday

known to the enemy, the sleeping men
were cut to pieces by exploding shells,
which also set fire to the straw on

the fact that the people were not ade-

years with half-sister, "a selfish,
