WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Heavy fighting has been re-
sumed in the region of the
Argonne forest toward the east.
ern end of the battle line in
France, and although today's
French and German official com.
munications disagree as to the
outcome it was apparent that the
conflict is marked with consider
able violence. The German ern-
peror's own regiment was select
ed to make an assault on strong
French position which, the Berlin
statement says, was won. The
French statement, in referring to
what apparently was the same en-
gagement, says that the German
attack was repulsed and tha,
progress was made by the allied
troops.
In Belgium infantry fighting
has been resumed, although it is
not clear whether the Germans
have begun another general move
ment. The French war Office re-
ports that German attacks on in
trenchments were beaten back,
and that the Germans suffered
heavily in the artillery duel.
At other points in the line
fighting has become more spirit
ed than has been the case for
some time. According to the
French statement, ground has
been won by the allies in certain
sections, including the occupation
of German trenches.
Berlin still insists that affairs in
the east are progressing to its sat
isfaction, although no new details
of the movements are given. It is
stated that in the fighting in Rus
sian Poland between November
II and December I, 10000 Rus
slams were captured unwounded.
The situation in Servia is re-
ported at Sofia, Bulgaria, to be a
critical one for the home army,
which is seeking to check the for
ward movement Of Austria's in
vading forces. The Servians have
been forced to fall back behind
strong natural positions, and are
now acting entirely on the defen-
sive. It is reported that the Serv-
ian troops have been withdrawn
from Belgrade, and that COM
munication between that city and
Nish, the temporary capital, has
been cut off.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, December 2.
Port authorities today prevented
the German steamship Mera from TAX

upon the vessels coal supply because.

countries suggested the calling of a

sists of diplomatic representatives Of
the twenty-one American republics.
The governing board will meet

Secretary Bryan said today that all
the suggestions which have been made
will be discussed. Argentine, Chile,
Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador are among
the countries which have formally
communicated plans for the restora-
tion of shipping in this hemisphere
through a more vigorous assertion of
neutral rights.
The conferences will take the form of
an exchange of views by the diplomat
lists and also will include such ques
tions as wireless and coaling, which
already have made controversies with
European belligerents.
To Speak for All.
The general purpose of the meeting
is to reach concord of views on neu-

arise. 4
Peru's suggestion for a neutral zone
extending the territorial waters from
the three-mile limit to include large
area within which coastwise trade OF
all belligerents should be unmolested, is
not viewed by the United States as
practicable at present, because Of the
belief that such a move would be mis-

belligerents.
Such a step could come only from the
voluntary action of the belligerents.

Gently expressed view. Officials here
believe the project should be pressed
by the concert of Pan-American nations
after the war.
Chile had suggested that foreign war
ships be refused coal in any American
ports or that only sufficient coal be
given to permit a warship to reach a
port in an adjacent country. Colombia
already has adopted the latter method
in dealing with belligerent ships.
