ing Progress in Alsace.
Small Victories ON Each Side in
France and Belgium.

London, Dec. 29.-Russian an
nouncements of defeats of the Ger
mans are disputed by the Berlin war
office which states that the attacks
Of the invading armies in Poland have
made progress and that strong Rus
sian assaults have been repelled. No
mention is made. however, of the
situation in Galicia, where the Rus
slams are described as having inflict-
ed a severe defeat on the Austro-Ger-
man forces.
The French campaign for reposses-
sion OF it's lost province of Alsace, one
of the first objectives of the armies
Of the republic after the outbreak of
the war, apparently is making prog
ress. The unofficial reports last night
that the allies were shelling Muel-
hausen are supplemented today by
the statement of the French war Of
flee that the town Of Steinbach, Up
per Al-ace. has been invested.
In France and Belgium, the fight
ing drags on with small victories for
each side. The German official an
nouncement tells of the capture of a
French trench in a burned forest west
of Apremon. The French statement
admits the temporary loss of this
trench, but adds that it was retaken
later after three counter attacks. Both
Paris and Berlin mention minor
gains, with violent fighting at various
points. The French statement says
tn t the allies have captured the Bel
gian town of ST. Georges around which
heavy ncounters have been in prog
reSS for some time.

I'VE wish to keep out of this Euro

Referring to the Mexican situation the
Republican leader said: I'VE haven't

line FALLS BACK
Russians Once More Masters
of the Carpathian Passes.
Little Change Is Reported Else
where in Eastern Arena.

London, Dec. 29.-British observers OF
the progress of the war. point this
morning, to the admission in the Aus
trian official announcement that Rus
sia is once more master + the passes
in the Carpathian' mountains and that
the troops along the entire Austrian
front from the Biala.s river to a point
northeast of the Dukla pass seem to
be falling back.
This means the wathdraw>l of virtu-
ally all the forces wfjtch swept across
the mountains to for4n the extreme
right in the concerted Austro-Gern1an
attack ON the Russian armies and, 1t
marks another surprising reversal OF
form on the part of the Austrian SOL
diers. whose battle fortunes since the
outbreak of hOstilities have been con-
spicuously erratic.
Elsewhere in the eastern arena of the
war little change has been recorded
while on the western front the slow and
tedious trench warfare goes on unin-
terruptedly with only slight gains on
either side.
The British press comedies the i'm
portance of the trenches near Holle-
beke. south of Ypres, which have been
taken by the Germans and points out
that the strategic value of these posi-
tiOns has been emphasized recently in
dispatch from Sir John French COM
mander in chief Of the British forces
on the continent. They made an i'm
portant crossing of the river Lys to
which the Germans have been holding
tenaciously. The taking of these
trenches gives them a stronger foothold.
Fear of a Zeppelin rail on London
which recently has more or less sub
sided. has been replaced by the pos
sibility of raid by German aeroplanes.
The comparative ease with which Eng
liSh airrnen reached Cuxhaven has
driven home the idea that a retaliatory
visit would not present any greater
difficulty. All the machinery to meet
air invaders has been frightened up.
The official warning as to the best
steps to circumvent danger, heretofore
issued only in coast towns, is now being
circulated in London.
