Strengthened by this argument, and
which is unanswerable when uttered
by noble woman, the Appleton women

his choir robe sat looking with a rath-

No wonder I was interested; so were

anxious to keep the glances of the new

bass, who is particular friend of ours,
he certainly did wink at me when we
stood up to sing, the first hymn.

Graham is a dear. He did bring him
down, and I pretended to be blissfullv

slipped my hand into Grahams and
bowed to the blond giant who simply
lowered over me.

!. REPORTS

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville, L. ID
Dec. 23.-Among the items given out
for publication by the Official press
bureau were the following:
THE order of General Joffre for an
offensive movement has confirmed the
belief held here for some days that
the allies in the west were about to
attempt an advance. Thus far, how
ever. their attempts everywhere have
failed, and the situation seems little
changed. u,
"An army headquarters report con-
corning the operations in the east
makes mention of the continuation OF
an attack. but whether this is being
made against the Russian rear guard
or the Russian main army cannot be
stated.
"The situation in west Galicia Is
clearer. The R-1slans thcre are hold
ing the east bank of the Dunajzc
river at Tuchow and another line ex-
tends southeastward past Krosno.
Heavy fighting is proceeding on both
these lines and also in the Lupkow
pass. .-ee .-.
z "A dispatch from Budapest says the
Austrians are preparing a final blow
against the Servians. but gives no in
timation of what form it will take.
THE newspapers here publish an
unofficial statement from headquar-
ters in answer to the official French
war bulletin of Dec. Is. The French
report asserted that several trenches
had been taken at Auchy, La Bassee,
st. Laurent and Blangy. The state
ment from headquarters says all these
places lie in the rear of the German
positions. .-s-r -. J. - =. .. ....--..
"a French report said the French
position near Albert had reached the
entanglements of the second line of
German trenches. The headquarters
statement admits that eighty French
men came this far, but that they
were all captured The French claim
that the German attacks near st. HUI
bert all failed is answered with the
statement that the Germans took 500
prisoners in these attacks, extermin-
ating utterly the ninth battalion Of
French chasseurs."

over Dover, threw bombs and recon
noitered the position of the British
