French Make Good
Progress In ALsace
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP sIMMs

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMAS
,Stan Correspondent United Press.
PARIS, Dec. l5.-In an attack made
py the French and British on the Ger
man lines between Hollebeke and
Wytschaete, English troops drove the
enemy from wood west OF the latter
town and captured the position. The
French troops also gained ground
which they held despite determined
counterattacks by the Germans.
The official communique issued by
the war Office today indicates that II
was in this region that the most des
perate fighting occurred yesterday. In
te,mittent caLnonading is reported be
tween the Somme and the Argonne.
The communique covering the oper
atoms of yesterday says:
THE English have captured a
woods west OF Wyteschaete. Our troops
held ground which they won yester
day along the User canal and west OF
HOlebeke. despite a vigorous counter
attack.
From the Somme to the Argonne
there were Intermittent cannonades
Some progress have been made In the
Argonne.
The railroad station at Saint Leon
ard, In the Vosges, was violently BON
harded by the Germans.
There was heavy cannonading In
Alsace.
The enemy's Infantry succeeded in
holding some ground at Steinbach.
AT ali points our progress has been
maintained"
WIN ,nese advices IL Is evident
that the French troops In the lost
province are now conducting a vigor-
GUS offensive which Is expected to
carry their lines further than at any
time during the war. An advance OF
five miles has already been made
from Aspach. The fightir :, which is
for control OF roads leading to Muel-
hansen Is fast developing into a gen.
eral forward movement OF the French
whose artillery Is blasting a way
through the German lines for the ad-
vance. A movement against Altkirch
is rapidly enveloping this position.
An attempt of the Germans north
OF Cernay to assume the offensive
was smothered by the French and the
attack OF the enemy was repulsed.
On the western end OF the battle
line the allies continue to thrust at
the German defenses on the line from
the east of Ypres. The allied wedge
In the Ypres region Is being continu-
ally strengthened and extended fur
Their into Belgium. Belgian reports
continue to state that all indications
are that the Germans are preparing
for a withdrawal from their present
positions to their second line which
has been prepared and extends from
Bruges, through Thielt and Courtrai

ARMS AND THE

dominate that lecture hall was the
realization of new awakening
among Italian women. The sight of
carefully sheltered, protected girls of
Is. preparing for work as nurses on
the field OF battle-perhaps-or at
least in hospitals, is something which
Is entirely new, even in the Italy of
today.
War has sounded a note In woman's
emanciation, not only In Italy, but In
all Europe. 1t is showing what wom-
en- can do In reality and not In the
DRY. But N no land as In Italy has
the young person" been kept in such
protected obscurity. That she has
been permitted to emerge into the
light of active work-in the glare of
approaching war--is sight marveled
at by Romans themselves.
Seventy women Of rank, of high
families, ranging from the 1S-year-old
daughters to the 60-year-old dowagers,
are enrolled in the present Samari.

part OF December. Tie applications
for entrance in this class are SO plen.

Ii, president OF the National Council
of italian women. whose inspiration
resulted in the Samaritana class, de-
clared that the great interest mani
tested by the women of Italy was q
huge surprise.
The course is free. II Is thorough
and severe. No fads, fancies or frills
mark 1t. The aristocratic misses are
not allowed to have their maids or
buffers, nor are they permitted to
take along their favorite poodles, as
they were at the time they rushed
forth to do Red Cross work at the
time OF the Messina disaster.
A rigid examination will be held
late In December. Then diplomas
will be awarded to those deserving
them. After that another class will
be formed and the work OF turning
out nurses continued.

 According to German report re- coived by wireless from Berlin this evening. railway and telegraphic com munication with Antwerp is inter- rupted It is reported also that the King of the Belgians had been slightly wounded
 The severing of communication had been expected. for the Germans had been directing their attacks at points of ingress to and egress from the city and at the same time dropping shells Into the town itself. A portion of the town is reported to have been de- stroyed.

TRAINS BEARING ANTWERP REFUGEES
 REACHES LONDON

London, October 10.-(2:20 a. m.) Seven trains bringing refugees from Antwerp arrived here last night and were met by representatives of the war refugees. committee. A majority did not need assistance. The others, how ever, bore sterner evidence of the ex- periences they had undergone. Many of these carried their belongings in pa per parcels. The distressed ones were provided with warm meals and sent to various institutions pending arrange ments for their housing.
 An Antwerp real estate man, who es- capeI on the last train leaving the be- siege0 town, said:
 Fierce fighting was going on almost at our doors when we left. The noise of the big guns was like continuous thunder Life in Antwerp for the past eek had been a nightmare. Consid- erable damage to houses had been done by bombs dropped from Zeppelin air ships. 1st
 For fortnight it had been impos- sible to obtain warm meal in the city. The town virtually has been in dark ness for two months"
 The refugees included 4o Ursuline nuns.
