London, Dec. lG t0:t0 p. nj
The raid OF German wnrships on the
northeast coast OF England and their
escape in the fog after having bonn
barded Scarborough, Hartlepool and
Whitby, where n number of persons
We're killed and wounded and con-
siderable damage done to property,
completely overshadows the opera
tions on land.
These operations. however, as on
preceding days. have been of the ut
most Importance. The British, Bel
gian and French troops have contin-
ued their offensive in the west and
according TO the French official re.
ports. have made further slight pro-
gress. This was not accomplished
without serious opposition on the
part OF the Germans who at every
point where an advance was attempts
ed, fought against II foot by foot.
Allies Rcpulscd, Says Berlin.
Along the coast of Flanders whero
the allies are trying TO push their
lines forward from Nieuport they had
the assistance of the British fleet
which violently bomharded West
cnde. one of the many little coast
towns which have suffered greatly
since the commencement of the war.
This attack, Berlin SAYS, was with
out effect and the allies were re-
pulsed.
Further inland the French also
claim TO have gained ground al

on previous days In the Argonnr

progress for some time. the Ger

In Poland preparations are being
made for % new battle or series OF
battles. The Russians, according to
a former member of the cabinet at
Petrograd, have decided. despite the
disappointment il must cause. TO
Withdraw their left wing at least and
form new line back In their own
territory.
This will relieve cracow, but Will
compel the Austro-German forces to
fight farther away from the strute-
glc railways by which they SO quick
ly moved troops to desired points.
Change Along Whole Line.
This plan doubtless will affect the
rest Of the battle front also. except
in the extreme north OF Poland,
where the German column has been
driven back by superior force OF
Russians,
A Rome dispatch credits the Aus
trlans with having admitted the loss
of 100000 men III their expedition
