SEVERE STORMS ON
THE WESTERN FRONT

Paris, Dec. 3l.-Rsin. snow. squalls
and wintry gales sweeping in from
the sea are reported to have almost
checked the fighting along the Bel
gian and Northern France front
For forty-eight hours the winds have
been frightful. There is grave fear OF
an epidemic among the men compelled
to remain exposed to the weather
with only the protection of their mud
dy trenches. now half filled with
water
So fierce has been the storm that
even the long range artillery is silent
al many points on the line.
Only where the opposing forces ac
tually have been in personal touch
was the fighting continuing, according
to the reports. There is, however
much activity on the center and right
wings, where the French are steadily
pressing forward.
The German trenches on the heights
OF the Meuse are again being shelled
and. it is believed here a movement
is already well under way to retake
ST. Mihiel, where the Germans are in
touch with the French lines
The operations in the Upper Alsace
region have begun to overshadow all
others. In the opinion of the French

CANCELS HIGHER MEAT RATE
Commerce Commission Declines West
ern Roads Proposal.

Washington, Dec. 31,-The inter.
state commerce commission declined
to approve proposal of the Western
railroads to increase the minimum
weight of shipments of fresh meats,
packing house products and other
food commodities in peddler cars from
10000 to 10000 pounds
The establishing of the higher mini;
mum weight would have resulted in a
material increase in transportation
charges, which under the conditions
OF such shipments the commission
held would be unreasonable.

London. Dec. England is sharp
ly divided into two factions as a re-
suit of the protest OF the United
States against the right of search on
the high seas
Official England accepts the protest
in the friendly manner in which IL
was made.
Unofficial comment considers the
action as unfriendly and attributes IL
to German Influences at Washington.
Even in official circles there is dis
position TO contest the claims of the
United States that Americas export
trade has been seriously interfered
with by Great Britain. Officials point
out that the expectations of foodstuffs
and copper from the United States
have increased 300 per cent since the
war began.
They say that other increases have
been smaller. but the entire balance
of the export trade shows a distinct
increase in contradiction to the Will
son claim.
