French Admit Check at
Steinbach in AlSace.

London, Dec. 16.-The offensive
movement of the French and British
has become general and is being
pushed with strong forces, princi.
pally in Flanders, the Argonne, the
Woevre and Alsace.
While the French claim to have,
been successful at all points. except
at Steinbach in Alsace, the German
official report says the allies attacks
have been unsuccessful at several
places.
On the whole, however, IL would
appear that the allies. who now have
a superiority in numbers as well as
in artillery, have succeeded in max
ing some progress and have with
stood vigorous counter attacks de-
livered by the Germans.
The fact that the allies are in pos
session of Hollebeke, in Flanders and
that heavy fighting was going on
again today, shows that they have
made an appreciate advance during
the past two days, as last week they
were being attacked by the invaders
two miles to the west of st. Eloy,
which is on the Ypres-Armentieres
road.
In the Argonne region, the French
simply say: 1--WE have made prog
ress and maintained our advance Of
the preceding days"
The only news from the East is the
admission of the German general
staff that the column which ad-
vanced through Mlawa "has reoccu-
pied its old positions. owing to the
superiority of the enemy" This, in
a measure, confirms the Russian &C
counts of victory on this part Of
the battle front. Z

The new pastor is 40 years of age

Jesup was for Is years pastor of the

Portland Oregon and the church
here and concluded to stay in the
east.
Some time ago two members of
the church here went to johnson
City and heard DR.. Jesup preach
without making their presence
known. The report these gentle
men. Judge w. P. Winfree and Mr..
B. B. Rice, brought back was so
favorable that the church at once
extended a call, which had since
been under consideration. The tele-
gram of acceptance was received
Tuesday.

of his denomination, pleasing pull

power and ability.

rem. He will have the kettles out
by Saturday and everybody is urgent
ly requested to drop in dollars, half
dollars, quarter. dimes or nickles,
and do all they can to keep the pots
boiling. He desires not only to
give them candy, nuts and oranges,
but to be able to give them some
thing more substantial.
The Old Linen campaign which
Envoy Waller recently announced,
has aroused considerable interest
among the housekeepers of the town.
There is hardly household in the
city which hasn't more or less old
linen that is too badly worn or too
weak of fibre to be of further use
for the purposes for which it was in
tended. Yet this same old linen is
just what is needed to make surgical
dressings for the wounded on the
battlefelds of Europe. Envoy Val
lier will be glad to receive any such
donations or he will call for bundles
if notified by phone. II
