 VIEWS OF Worlds w ar
FRENCH

Paris. Dec. 26-The French war of flee this afternoon gave out an official announcement as follows:
 There have been moderate artillery exchanges on the front from the sea to the Lys. On the Lys itself 8 heavy fog has made operations impossible.
 Between the Lys and the Disc we have repulsed several counter attacks of the enemy, notably at s2NouIettes, to the west of Lens, at Boisselles north west of Chau1ness where a trench cap tured from the enemy was lost and then recaptured by us after a spirited engagement
 ..Between the Oise and the Aisne. reports from this locality say that during the day Of December 24 q very strong German attack was repl1lsed at Chivy, to the northeast of Oupierre-
 ettIn the region of Perthes our artil- lery si1enced the enemy which were bon1barding the trenches recently oc- cupied by our troops. Two strong German counter attacks were repu1s- ed during the night of December 24- 25.
 s.Yesterday, December 25, a further counter attack of particlar severity delivered on a front. of HOO yards was completely checked.
 .tIn upper Alsace December 25 was marked by perceptfb1e progress in front of Cernay. We reached the outskirts of the forest on the hills to the west of the town and here we held our positions in spite of several coun- ter attacks We occupy also the out skirts of Aspache, the valley and the heights which dominate AspaHh on the west. &
 "In Russia, the Germans who suc- ceeded in forcing their way across the Bxura river to the south of Serchaza, were driven back after having suf- fered considerable losses All the German attacks on Bolimo resulted in failure.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Although stating that further progress has been made, today's communication from the French the repeated attacks by the Ger mans, who apparently have under taken a series of vigorous on slaugEts in response to the offeps- i've movement of the allies. Some of these German attacks extended over considerable ground, invoIv- ing large bodies of troops, but the assertion is made that all were checked. Perceptible progress in sAlsace is claimed by French.
 Reviewing conditions in the, east. the French war office asserts that the Germans have been thrust bszek along the line before Warsaw anu that in Ille fighting in the - zion of Cracow the Russians hAve won the advantage
 The Japanese embassy at Wash ington gave confirmation to last nights report from the official press bureau in Berlin that Russia had ceded to Japan the northern half of the island of Sakhalin, di- rect1y north of Japan. in considera- ton for some heavy guns.
 BombardmentA by an American cruiser of the Turkish port of 2 TripoIi, Syria, is said at Athens to have been threatened on ac- count. of an attack by Turks ons the crew of an American mer- chantman on which British and French citizens desired to depart. The incomplete reports received from Athens state that the threat of the warship's commander que1led the attack. The cruiser Ten In ern Mediterranean for several months and was last reported not far from Tripoli.
 Ita1y's occupation of the Alba nian port of -AuIona was believed to be open to possibilities of complications which might make > it difficult for the Rome govern ment to maintain it's neutrality. The attitude of Rumania,, also, was more than ever matter of doubt on account of reports from Paris that the only obstacle which prevented her from join ing with the TripoH entente had been removed. Bulgaria was represented as having given as- sIrances that she, would remain neutral, relieving RuInania. from the fear of an attack from that quarter should she enter the war
 Dispatches from Chili stated that the last of what was once Germany's Pacific squadron was fighting to escape the fate which overlook her four companion 2 cruisers when they met the Bri- tish. The German cruiser Ores den, with the converted cruiser Prinz Eite1 Friedrich, were said to have been engaged by the British cruiser Newcastle near Valparaiso.

FOUND
 INTOXICATED, IS
 UNDER SUSPENSION
Hugo Fischer, Traffic Off cer, Complained of Cold
 Early In the Day

Alleged to have been under the in f1uence of liquor while doing traffic duty at FaireId avenue and Water street early last night, Policeman Hugo Fischer was today suspended by Superintendent Birmingham Charges of being intoxicated on duty will be brought against him for considera- ton at the next meeting of the com n1issionerS After examination at po- lice headquarters last night by pr. F. J. Adams, department surgeon, he was relieved of his revolver and billy by Lieutenant Blansfield but allowed to retain his badge. Upon the advice of pr. Adams he was sent home in the patrol wagon in charge of Ser geant Walker.
 Fischer would have completed his days work within less than half an hour of the time that he was taken in charge by Detective Sergeant Geo. B. Fox and Sergeant Walker, who had been sent to investigate his re- ported condition. He had suffered keenIy from the cold and. shortly after o'clock, had been visited by Captain Began of headquarters. He appeared to be in normal condition then but appeared to be chilled mission for him to leave his post tenn porarily and advised him to walk around in order to get warm.
 The next heard from him was at 6:3O o'clock when Lieutenant Blansfield an swered a telephone call and was ask ed by Fischer If he could be relieved on account of having been taken i'll, His tone of voice aroused suspicion. Detective Sergeant Fox was sent out to locate the trouble and met Sergeant WaIlzeR oni the way. Policeman Fischer was directed to remain on post as man was on his way to aid him.
 Fischer was. brought to headquar- ters and arra1gned before Lieutenant Blansfie1d. The explanation was that he was suffering with cramps. When -1t was suggested that examination be made by Dr. Weldon at the enler- gency hospital, Fischer refused. It twas then that pr. Adams was called.
 Policeman Fischer was appointed to the department April 1, 1913, and soon afterwards was appointed to traffic duty at Fairfield avenue and Water street. His excellent record there has resulted in his being retained on that duty. Superintendent Birmingham keenly felt the action that he had to take, saying that the accused has an excellent record and that it is the first complaint against him. Summary ac- tion was considered necessary on ac- count of maintaining the department discipline.
 Policeman Bartholomew Sheridan has been assigned to the traffic point fepered by Fischer.

AERoPL.ANEs IN DUEL ABOVE THAMES RIVER

London, Dec -Chrdstnas has come and gone without a truce at any point in the war of nations While there has been no cessation of military activity, nevertheless no decisive ac- ton has occurred along either of the great battle fronts- A spectacular eI- sement of the recent news was supplied by an aerial duel between 8 German aircraft and two English bdp1anes over the Thames. This occurred Christmas day and was witnessed by several thousand people. The German escaped.
 From Petrograd comes news that the Russians have resumed the offen- sive at several points in Poland and that they have captured no fewer than 11,0O0 prisoners. To offset this, however, Berlin reports inactivity; along the Polish front. An Austrian army is still making a courageous eff fort to strike down the valley of the Nida in the direction of CarnoVv. British observers are of the opinion that this movement will be too late if it is afact that the Austro-German attack in the center has really re- ceived it's reported check.
 General Von Hindeniburgs the Ger
 man commander in the east, stilI keeps his bulldog grip on the Vdstu1a and seems to be making his present movement towards Warsaw from .Thorne which is northwest Of the Polish capital. in the province of West Prussia
 On the western battle line Paris res ports slight progress from Niebport. while Berlin balances this with the claim that some British trenches have been taken. The French on their slde again claim the capture of a, trench near Pl1isaline which they held in spite of several counter attacks.
 From Athens comes an incomplete report of the refusal of the Turkish authorities to permit the departure from Tripoli of the British and French eansuIs, and a number of British and French citizens on an American mer- chant ship under convoy of an Amer jean cruiser. This refusal is said to have resulted in an attack by a Turk ish crowd on the crew of the mer- chantnen while the sailors were em- Soarking some FFenchmen- This at tack ceased, however. when the war ship threatened a bonbardment. The cruiser subsequently, escorted this essel to Dedeagatch, north of the DardaneIles, in Turkey.

Berlin. Dec. 2e-By wireless to Lon don-An official announcement was given out in Berlin this afternoon as follows:
 Near Nieuport during the night of Dec. 24-25 attacks delivered by Eng fish and French troops were repulsee.
 The success of the battle with English and Indian contingents near St. Hubert can be better judged to- day. Nineteen officers and SIS men were taken prisoners while four ma chine guns, 12, mine throwers and oth- CT war material was captured. The enemy left more than 5000 dead on the field. The English asked for a cessation of hostilities to bury the dead. Our losses were comparatively small
