Attack Allied Armies.
Paris, Dec. 9-The Germans have re-
sumed the offensive in Flanders. This
announcement was made officially by
the French war office today.
With the dawn of yesterday agrees
sive activity was shown by the invad-
ers all along the User from the Calais
corridor at the south of Newport
where the bombardment of COST Dun
kirk continues, almost to the river
Lys.
The action was particularly vigor-
Gus in the vicinity of Ypres, indicating
a general movement in this direction.
Today this effort crystallized in vio-
u.
of great strategic value to the south
of Ypres. The attack was made in
great force and with the enemy's prod
igal disregard of it's cost in men. The
attackers were repulsed time after
time.
Battle In Argonne.
Rivalling in Importance the battle in
Flanders is the struggle which is rap
idly reaching its height in the Argonne
region, where the French right Is
faced by new and considerable bodies
of German troops.
Today in the Argonne forests and ON
the heights and in the ravines to the
east of the wooded sections, the fight
ing was very spirited. Sapping opera
tons we're conducted by both armies
and the troops are given no rest, day
or night.
The forest of Grurie was the thea
ter Of the most deadly combats of the
long battle. No great bodies of troops
were engaged in g. mighty struggle
such as is proceeding in the open coun-
try in Flanders, but myriad small de-
tachments of French infantry, dis
mounted cavalry and even of marine
fusilliers are engaged in the perilous
task of fighting similar detachments of
Germans.
Cannon Duel Heavy.
On what is now the center the ar
tillery is heavily engaged and the
Aisne and the Champagne region rum
bles with the continuous crash of the
cannon. Several days ago the war Of
fee announced the French gunners
were winning an advantage over the
Germans, and today the official state
ments record the dispensing of num-
Der of gatherings of the enemy by
shells from the heavy artillery behind
the French lines.
