CONCERTED ADVANCE
BY ALLIES IN WEST
Some of the Claims of the
Latter to Success Along
Entire Front Have Not
Been Disputed by Berlin
Dispatches-German Of
fensive Weakens in East

From fragmentary and conflicting off.
cial reports to-day two main tendencies
were observable. In the west, along the
entire front from Alsace to the North
sea, the allies are exerting steady pres
sure and by their claims, some of which
have not been disputed by Germany, they
have made slow progress almost every
where.
In the east, the defeat of the Aus
trians in Galicia was not denied and Ger
man forces in Poland appear to have
found it extremely difficult to continue
states that further progress is being
made, but Petrograd believes that the
German offensive is breaking down.
An official communication from Petro-
grad indicates that one of the most san
culinary battles of the war, in proportion
to the numbers involved, has taken place
in TranScaucasus. The Russians state
that the Turkish column was dispersed
by artillery ard that the Turks lost half
their numbers.
The Japanese foreign office announces
that no nation has requested that Jap
anese army be sent to Europe. It is un-
derstood in Toxic that France and Rus
sia favor the project, but Great Britain
hesitates on account of economic and po-
litical difficulties.
The Servian minister to France is
quoted in Paris as saying that Servia is
planning an invasion of Hungary.

other interesting phases the annual
get together and good fellowship was the
keynote at all hours.
Exercises of fitting charactef marked
the opening of the assembly at 1880
O'Clock. The president, Hugh Christie,

an hour a competent corps Of walters
cared for every want OF the diners Too
much credit for the successful manner in
which the banquet was served cannot be
given the ladies who assisted the com
mittee. During the dinner hour Bruce

wards the musicians furnished music for
the dance order. In the intervals be
tween dances there was an impromptu
program of songs and recitatIons, Mrs. /
P. w Mutch contributing a reading and
George Troup entertaining the merry
makers with vocal solo.
The company showed little If any re-

 MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28--OGcial dispatches to the State Department in dicate that the situation in Mexico is not at all encouraging. Friction has arisen between the Guiterrex-Villa fac tons over the q sposition of former leading federals and followers of Huerta, which threatens to put an end to the promises held out for a speedy settlement of the Mexican troubles Gutierrez and Villa advocate a general amnesty for all political offenders, but Zapata and his advisers are ire concilably opposed to this action, and advocate the execution of everyone in any way connected with the HueTta government Neither side shows any sign of giving way to the other, and it is possible that the wide divergence in the policies advocated may lead to strife between the present allies.
