PARIS, Dec. 14.-The French offic-
ial communication given out this af-
ternoon reads as follows:
"There has been nothing OF import
ance to report between the sea and
the Disc. In the region of the Aisne
and to the northwest of Soupir the
enemy bormarded violently our en-
trenchments. We replied and demol-
ished his positions. There were no
infantry attack from one side or the
other. Our artillery destroyed an i'm
portant field work of the enemy in
the vicinity of ALLIES. In the Argonne
.at the forest of LeGrurie we have
made slight progress by the use of
mines. There were no attacks from
the enemy.
'On the heights of the Meuse there
has been violent cannonading. Bat
teries of the enemy would appear to
have been moved topositions further
north. In the Woevre district after
having occupied line Of entrench-
ments along a front of 500 yards in
the forest Of Mortmare our troops re-
pulsed two violent counter attacks.
In Alsace our advance has brought
our front to line that passes AIS
yards to the north of Steinbach,
thence to Pont d'Aspach and then to
Pont de Brinighoefen, 80 yards TO
the west of Eglingen.

CLOCK, II heard several
u nice remarks about the
way the Sunday Telegram
beat other newspapers on news. /
am just reading some stuff in this
here Monday paper that the Sunday
Telegram had all about.
There's no use talking, the Sun
day Telegram has 'en all trimmed.
Take this last issue now, for instance
Without doubt the biggest news story
that broke Saturday night-or maybe
1t was early Sunday morning-was
thA one about General Carranza
defying the United States to use
force in preventing those Mexicans
from shooting across the line into our
yard. 1t was one of those news
stories that made person sit up and
take notice. 1t kinda made thrills
chase up and down your back and
made you think that maybe after all
this Mexican muss Is not settled by
any means.
Now, what did other Sunday news
papers that reached Clarksburg early
Sunday morning have to say about
that big news story? Nary a word,
nary a word. That Just proves what
l was a-saying-
why didn't they have it, you ask.

The First Cup Winner.
The change in type of sailing vessels
as represented by the America and her
successors is perhaps more interesting
to all lovers of yachting than the ac-
tua1 details of the contests by which
the famous cup was taken and held.
The America, which sixty-three years
ago went across the Atlantic and took
away the Royal Yacht Squadron tro-
ply, marked a greater revolution in
yacht construction than any vessel
since her time.
Still in commission after as exciting
a career as any other American vessel
has had. she was originally a pilot
schooner of about ITO tons, able and
seawOrthy. Her length over all was
| 101 feet g inches; load water line, 80
feet inches; beam. % feet: mainmast.
81 feet; foremost, 70 feet 6 inches:

top mast, relying on the largeness OF
| her sails She carried no boom on her
foresail. Her masts had an extreme
rake of two and seven-eighths inches
to the foot. and her hull was built OF
| wood. ..,. .... r.

Upton Yacht Is a Complete
Success or Utter Failure,
Say Experts.
~ HE yachting world is agog over

Il persistent Sir Thomas Upton Of

" he yachting world is .agog over
the forthcoming attempt Of the
persistent Sir Thomas Upton of
England to win the Americas
cup. Since the first contest, in 1851,
between America and England victory
has crowned our defenders. But will
it be the same old story this time?
That is a question in the opinion of
yachting experts. They regard Sham
rock w., the English challenger for
the historic trophy in the races off
Sandy Hook, N. Y, Sept. 10. - and
IS, as formidable opponent. -
Shamrock ~. is a freak to look at.
In comparison with the Yankee mod
els. says the New York Tribune, an
expert abroad who has seen the chal-
lenger says the new Shamrock is strik-
ing. When canted on a good sailing
angle we are told that she sails upon
straight lines for the greater part of
her entire length. She is ugly and IN
conventional in the modelling Of bow
and stern. more stubby and broader Of
beam than any Of the American con-
testants and has many minor features
that are at direct variance with the
customary uses of yacht designers.
She is all wood. Her deck is three
feet narrower than the hull just above
the water line, her keel is long and Gu
riously formed, her rig is large, and
her general construction seems to
prophesy that her sail area will be
considerably in excess of 5000 square
feet
