Allies Advance at One Point, Germans

Paris, Dec. 19.-While the French and Belgian troops on the lower Yser held the Germans where they attempt ed to regain the ground they lost in the first rush of the allies offensive, and French and British forces pushed the invaders back south of Dixmude, the French, British and Indian con- tingents were at grips with the enemy today in one of the most terrific strug- gles of the war, in the vicinity of Le- Bassee and in the region east of Arr ras
 The counter attacks the Germans directed against the Franco-Belgian line in the region of Straenstraete, to the south of Lombaertzyde, near N1eu- port, in an effort to secure elbow room, where they might escape from the range of the British naval guns, was successfully met by the allies and the Germans driven back. The Belgian sappers have made the allies position strong at this point and further to the north along the sea coast Belgian scouting parties have penetrated no less than five miles toward Ostend without en- countering the enemy.

FRANK WILL NOT
 HANG JANUARY z
Appeals to U. S. Supreme Court from Decision Refus- ing Habeas Corpus Writ.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 19.-Judge New man in the federal court denied to- day the petition of Leo M. Frank, con- victed of the murder of Mary PhaEan, for writ of habeas corpus.
 Judge Newman gave the attorneys tho right to appeal to the supreme court of the United States on the de n'al of the petition.
 This means that Frank will not hang on Januery 22, as planned, for the appeal of the supreme court automatically acts as a stay of exc cution.
 The United States supreme court recently denied Frank a new trial on writ of error. At that time two of the justices in the opinion declar- ed they did not believe Frank had "had due process of law"
 The grounds upon which the hareas corpus writ was sought includ- ea allegations that Frank was con- yicted and sertenced without due n7ocess of law, in that he was ln- voluntarily absent from the court room when the verdict was rendered
 The further allegation was made that the prisoner was denied a fali am impartial trial, that the trial was dominated "by mob hostile to gran WI. .ch unduly influenced and l'ltlml' da:ed the jury by a demonstratloiI within and without the court room.
