FIERCE ATTACK ON ALLIES.
German Attempt to Pierce Lines Said
to Have Failed.


to Have Failed.
London, Dec. 12.-Fighting of the
fiercest nature has taken place near
Ypres in consequence of tremendous
double German attack made while the
troops of the allies were engaged else
where on the offensive.
This German stroke evidently was
designed to pierce the allies line. The
first attack succeeded to the extent
that several trenches were captured
from the French, but the success was
short-lived, for the allies rushed new
strength to the position and recap
tured the trenches after repulsing the
Germans second attack.
Elsewhere along the battle line
through Belgium and France there
have been numerous engagements,
with both Germans and allies claiming
minor successes at various points.

From Bruges the Germans have
transported six new heavy guns TO
Ostend. They seem apprehensive of
bombardment by British warships.
Many trains filled with youthful SOL
diers have passed through Liege on
the way to Arras. A correspondent at
Amsterdam reports the Germans are
concentrating both infantry and artil-
lery in that region, where fresh Ger.
man attacks may be expected.

smaller mines and work a hardship on
all investors. AS a result of the vote,
the Grange will continue securing the
$4,000 signatures with which to adorn
its petition to the state legislature at
the forthcoming session.
The following recommendations

Of sale of liquor by any fraternal or
ganization or club, except in places
where licenses have been granted;

five miles of a state educational in
stitution; a campaign for statewide
prohibition as soon as the number of
dry counties make the move advis-
able"

May Give Up Warsaw.
Petrograd Dec II, via London,-A
Russian military expert in comment
ing on the German attempt on War
saw, says:
According to the Russian authori-
ties the yielding of cities to the enemy
does not constitute an important war
factor, since the bombardment OF big
cities like LODI, with the attendant de-
struction of life and property, tends to
demoralize the army.
Thus if 1t is of strategic advantage
to evacuate Warsaw the capture of
that city ought not to be considered
important"
