FIGHTING is RENEWED in ALSACE
7odsy's Story Of the
War, Told
Briefly

The desperate character of the hand
to hand fighting in trench assaults,
the use Of hand grenades and bomb
throwing machines, are described in
British eye witness report issued to-
day, which also discloses that the al
lies are using tunneLboring apparatus
for subterranean approach to the Ger
man entrenchments. 1t is said that
subterranean life is the rule along the
firing line, where defensive operations
have been brought to such ef-
ficiency that the Germans have prac-
ticalIy ceased their efforts to break
through the line Of the enemy by as
sauIts. Open fighting consequently
has almost disappeared and the con-
test has taken on the nature of siege
operations.
ALLIES GAIN 500 YARDS
This report however, covers the
situation only to November 29, since
which time, as is shown by recent Of
ficiaI statement, there have been
heavy infantry engagements. Today
announcements from the French and
German war offices contain claims Of
progress on both sides. At one point
north Of the Lys, says the French, an
advance of 500 yards--a noteworthy
movement in view Of the character of
the operations--was made. The in
tense character of the fighting is in
dcated by the fact that the war office
considers It worthy Of remark that one
part of a hamlet remains In possession
of the allies.
FRENCH ASSAULTS REPuLsED
The German statement asserts that
French assaults in Flanders were re-
pulsed and that the German forces
made progress in the region Of La
Bassee, northern. France; in the forest
of the Argonne and in the vicinity of
FNfANtiStig NiSdSCs
NO NEWS FROM EAST Hog
There was almost no news from the
east. In one minor operation in east
Prussia the Germans report 1900 Rus
slams were captured. The war office
gives out without comment news.
paper report that the losses among the
French troops amount TO at least SO
per cent.
Itaiy's attitude in the European war
has again become a source Of concern,
in view Of Premier salandra's dectara.
ton that his country was in no way
bound to fight with Germany and Aus
tria, and the intimaton that If her
loyalty to treaty obligations were ques-
toned further she would disclose the
text Of the triple alliance agreement.
The German governments appoint
ment Of Prince Won Ruelow, formerE
chancellor as temporary head Of the
embassy at Rome, is interpreted byl
Rome dispatches as meaning that 5er-
lin would exert strong pressure to pre-
vent Italy from joining forces with
the allies.
FIGHTING IN ALSAcE
The newest phase Of the war, 50
far as was indicated by the days dis
patches, is heavy fighting in AIsace,
where the French have succeeded IN
maintaining foOthOId on German ter
rItory since the opening of hostIIities.
Comparatively little has been heard
Of the struggle there, which is viz
tuaIly desperate campaign, but now
the French apparently have begun .
vigorous offensive movement. The
main battle Is IN progress near Alt
kIrch, where, the German war office
says, the attacks OF the French have
been repulsed.

PHEASANTS AND TROUT ARE
BE|NC;TURNED LOOSE HERE

Last week there were a number OF
China pheasants brought here from
the state hatchery and turned loose
under the supervision of members OF
the rod and gun club.
This week there were several thous-
and eastern brook and cut throat trout
brought here and taken to the No. 3
reservoir on Willow creek and turned
loose.
These fish were hathed at the state
hatchery at Bonneville. most of the
eggs coming from Colorado.
The seventy cans were taken TO Bro
gan on the car and there were four
wagons waiting for them and they
were soon in the waters OF the Willow.
T. j. Craig was in charge of the
car, with Geo. Cornie as engineer. They
have a gasoline engine which supplies
air to the young fish and keeps the
temperature of the water down.
Twelve cans were taken off at
Huntington and the fish taken to
Birch and Durbin creeks.
District Deputy game warden Leffel
Joined the car at La Grande.
There is but one club OF hunters
and fishermen in the county and 1t
is through their organization that
these fish and birds have been brought
in. Other sections should be organ
lied until every man who is inter
ested in fish and game would be en-
rolled. The club dues are nominal and
there is no initiation fee. the sole OBJ
ject being to protect game and fish.

the people OF Ontario and telling that
he is a resident OF Ontario and that
the whole proposition OF the changing
OF the county seat from Vale to On
tario Is a joke and that the Ontario
people do not intend to come through
with their agreement. Those who
have known Mr.. Davis since he came
TO the county know that he has been
a hanger on to the county seat all the
time and is now a deputy assessor
all though notoriousiy incompetent
for the place. They also know that he
is not an Ontario citizen and only came
here at this time to act as spy for the
Vale bunch. He will not have any in
fluence where known. He is now and
always has been Vale man, his story
