cruisers have resumed their ordinary
occupations. The only difference dis

which reminded the residents OF the
summer influx; tho return OF those
who had fed on the first sound OF
the firing, and busy mechanics, who
were early at work repairing the
damage done by the shells.
The mayor of Scarborough placard-
sd the walls OF the city with posters
advising the people to keep cool, but
this was hardly necessary, for, be-
yond grief Tor the loss Of friends ami
neighbors and the little pride dis
played at the attention they attract
ed, the citizens seemed to be going
about their business in quite a nat
ural way. 1t will not be long before
all marks Of the damage done by the
gunfire will be removed.
The attitude of the people Of Eng
land Is much the same as that of the
bombarded towns. There are no signs
OF excitement, and the only effect the
abomhsrdment has had b the demand
that naturaNzed Germans and those
who have not been naturalized shall
be excluded from areas open to an at
tack, and a little boom in recruiting.

With Greatest Determination
Great Numbers of Wounded.

Paris. Dec. lS-At the very point
where the Germans had massed great
forces intending to start an offensive
against the allies, British troops nave
delivered a blow which resulted in
an advance Of practically two miles.
The extent of the forward move
ment of the allies is now increasing
daily. The latest advance is reported
northeast Of Arras.
Fresh troops, which have taken
M positions on the battle line, are
attacking the Germans with the
createst determination. Particular
attention is being given to the clear
ing of all small woods Of the enemy,
where their field guns have been
masked.
From La Bassee, westward to the
coast. heavy fighting is in progress.
From hospital bases in the rear OF
the lines reports have been received
that great numbers of wounded are
arriving.
Admission of the general offensive
taken by the allies is seen in the
German s unofficial statement whlc:l
has been received here stating that
there is a possibility Of activities on
A considerable scale on the western
