Winter Freezes Action.

LONDON. Nov. 16.-G0:13 p. M
No important events were written
today into the history of the war. The
coming of winter has partly paralyzed
the movements of the troops in Bel
GUM and northern France and
brought great suffering to the
wounded as well as to the men in the
field large area of west Flanders
around DiXmude has been flooded by
the heavy rains and is no-man's land
for lighting.
The French and German reports to-
dav are contradictory as regards the
progress of their armies in the west
Yesterday. Berlin says there was only
slight activity because Of the snow
storm. Paris announced that the Ger
mans in attempting to cross the canal
near DiNmude were thrust bacs, while
the allies recaptured several strategic
positions, repulsed two German at
tacks southeast Of Ypres and entirely
destroyed" n German regiment south
Of Bixschoote.
German Attacks Weak.
An observer with the British army
who furnishes the newspapers reports
from the front, announces that the at
tacks of German batteries have de-
creased in force during the past few
DAYS and that they bear no resemh-
lance to the attacks in great force
launched against Ypres at the end
Of October They are more in the ma
ture of demonstration in force than
serios assaults, he declared.
The writer pays high tribute to the
bravery Of raw German youths and
unframed men of middle age. who. he
says. do not hesitate to march against
the trained British troops.
The possibility is being discussedthat
the Austrians NAV abandon Cracow
rather than submit the city TO de-
structive bombardment

At one fell moment the govern ment seems to have quickened into po- tency the pitiful remnants of torysln, and clothed them with the powers they could never have won hy honest service of the people by whose resentment they will pos sibly now come into power.

In one hand he srasps a Bible. Such monument was well deserved. yet it was scarcely needed, for in truth the whole city is to this day a monument of the great deliverance. The wall is carefully preserved; nor would any plea of health or convenience be held by the inhabitants sufficient to justify the demolition of that sacred enclosure which. in the evil time, gave shelter to their race and their religion. The summit of the ramparts forms a pleasant walk The ha stions have been turned into little gar ders.

No man can grasp the significance or what. is now being daily reported from Ulster and London concerning the fate of the home rule bill until he has carefully studied the story Of the disorders that accompanied the final expulsion of the Stuart kings. In Maeaulay's History, chapter P, Is one of the most complete and fair and interesting. nay, thrilling, records of human folly, ignorance and heroism ever told. The historian betrays indeed a quenchless sympathy with the interests of progress and liberty and in- telligence. but he has fundamentally a balanced judgment, and to this day he who would seriously challenge Macauay's statements would be intrepid indeed. At least in the main outlines of the story chapter P will stand, and will explain to modern men why descendants of the English colonists of Ulster look on the prospect of immersion in an overwhelIl- ing mass of Irish Catholic votes with sus- picion deepening to horror and fearful ap- prehensfon. The account of the siege of Londonderry will never he read by an English Protestant without a stirring of the hearts pride. No visitor to the scenes Of that heroic struggle with which the names of Enniskillen and Londonderry are associated can fail of a thrill of admira- tfon, though his personal sympathies may be far from the cause that there tri- umphed. At least he will understand more keenly than before the influences

 As to home rule. some one even In this land of freedom, may say: But ought Protestants in Ulster to be exposed to the tyranny of a vast Catholic maJority?' The answer is that. aside from the spirit of religion in this age, there Is now an Irish patriotism which would refuse to sacrifice the welfare of the land to relg- ious bigotry, as was done two and a quarter centuries ago That welfare is now understood to be dependent on the whole people. An Ulster prosperous Ia necessary for a prosperous Ireland. And beyond these considerations of worldly advantage. all history proves that there Ia no race In the world more generous. more kindly. more just than the Irish. except when driven to madness by tyranny and injustice.

 No such easy solution lay within the womb of time But for the present at least the Irish people could and did at- tempt the balance of it's wrongs.

The white ensigns of the House of Bourbon have long been dust, but their place has been supplied by new banners, the work of the fairest hands of Ulster.

 We may suspect that the siege of Linn ericlS was borne by it's Irish garrison and heroic fortitude as was then shown at Londonderry. We may gently smile at Maeaulays glamour thrown over the Protestant faction.

In time he brought others into his employment but this still did not relieve him of the complete oversight of every part of the work. He would write his books at night and on the following day would be engaged in printing such as had been prepared. so that he was the busiest man in all London in the prosecution of his work.
