PETROGRAD, Dec. 26.-After a
week of constant fighting, the German
offensive against the Rzura river in
the attempted drive upon Warsaw
has been brought to a complete halt.

PARIS. Dec. 2s.-With the German
resistance on the western extreme, ana
in the center Of the long battle front
acrcss Belgium and France stiffenin9,
rapid progress is now being made oy
the French on the eastern extremity.
The well-sustained attack OF the
French troops has carried to w'enin
about 12L. miles of Mueihausen.
Fighting their way through woods
held by the Germans, the French now
occupy the heights about cernay. Inis
town is within ten miles OF Muelnau-
sen and from the position now oeeu-
pied. 10 " mile to the west, the French
lines are extremely well situated TOT
the bombardment and attack upon
Cernay. Much fighting and attack
has been carried on during violent
winter storms. Operations in that re-
aion, owino to heavy snow makes
fighting impossible at times. The Ger
mans positions are also we'll protect-
ed and the advances have been MADE
only after extended bombardmen's'
followed by the blowing up OF front
trenches by mines and direct assaults.
In the Argonne, westward through
Rheims, Albert, Arras, and on TO the
coast, the general advance started oy
the allies three weeks ago is now pc
inq met by strong counter offensive
Of the Germans. Positions change
; ands two and three times in one day.
The OFFICIAL statement today cited an
instance Of the French capturing
trench near Lihcns, losing Z 20 the
Germans, and then retaking i.
Heavy fogs and SHOWS are interfer-
ina with operations in Belgium, but
the French, British and Belgian at
tacks. in their drives toward ostend
and Roulers have been pressed to the
utmost in the face Of counter attacks
Of the enemy.
Despite the extreme cold, the health
Of the troops in the allied trenches 10
declared to be much better than dur
ing the early part Of the winter, when
tho heavy rains and first SHOWS fell.
The British troops are equipped with
heavy coats, lined inside with sheep
skin. The French and Belgian soldiers
are equally well protected from tho
cold by their heavy great coats. IN
addition to the mining operations
which has marked the long period OF
trench fighting, various means Of
meeting the siege conditions have
been devised by the men. The Bel
CLANS are now able to watch the oper-
ations Of the Germans without expos-
Ing themselves to fire. An apparatus
bulk on the same principle as the
submarine periscope has been Install
ed in many Of the trenches and with
this device the troops are able to re-
main constantly under cover.
The storms along the coast have
prevented the allied warsi'ips from
sheIIina the Germans positions along
that line for the past few days. With
clearing weather this attack is es-
pected to be resumed.
