PARIS, Dec. 26.-Severe fighting is
in progress at two points today in
France, the outcome of which will
have an important bearing upon the
outcome of the great conflict Along
the Moselle river the French troops
are trying to reach Metz and cut the
German lines of communication lead

South Of Arras the Germans are at
tempting a similar drive toward Ari

Gian and British troops in Flanders
and the extreme northern part OF
France depend for their supplies, eX.
cept such as come from FIngland
through Dunkirk, Calais and Hayre.
News that the Germans are striving
to reach Amiens explains the con-
tinued fighting about Leon, where the
conflict RACES from house to house

a gain of few yards is considered
important.

TBY L.. ..SED WIRE I

PARIS, Dec. 26.-For one hour
on Christmas day the warriors of
the nations locked in deadly con-
fIict in western Europe ceased
to fight. During that brief inter-
val the clash Of arms and the boom
Of artillery was halted and hun
dreds of thousands Of soldiers
kne|t in prayer to the Omnipotent.
No armistice was officially de-
clared. 1t was as if a mightier
mind than those of the command
ers Of the greatest armies on earth
had decreed a return of peace,
even for SO brief a period.
After the short truce had end
ed, however, the mightiest combat
in the history Of the world was
resumed. Frenchmen, Briton, BEL

away the visions Of home that the
day had called forth and took up
again the task at hand, the siaugh-
tering Of his fellowmen.
