Paris Reports Advance and Sharp
Fight on Twelve Mile Front.
Arras, northern France, Sunday. Dec.
81. via Paris, Dec. 29-That portion Of
the French army which is holding the
lines near Arras today attacked the
Germans on front twelve miles long.
They carried half mile of trenches by
assault. The way for this attack was
prepared by violent artillery and ma
chine gun fire, which swept the German
positions from a point to the north OF
Lens to the south of Arras.
The German batteries replied heavily
to the French fire. While the Germans
were thus engaged the French fire OPP
posite Lens suddenly ceased. Instantly
French infantrymen leaped from the
trenches and charged the German posi-
ton, 100 to 200 yards distant. A fierce
bayonet encounter brought victory to
the French. The Germans were routed;
the French took some prisoners. 1t was
all over in twenty minutes. The artil-
lery fire died down and silence fell on
the field of battle. AT intervals of two
rods in the trenches keen eyes peering
into periscopes watched the edges OF
the German trenches, the Observers
themselves being well protected below
the level Of the earth.

IN DEFENSE OF FOOTBALL.
Committee on Fatalities Urges Barring
of Physically Unfit

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Keep the physical
ly unfit and the unframed player out of
football and the game will be free from
danger, was the report of the commit
tee on fatalities in football, submitted
to the convention of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association here. DIR.
George w. Ehler, of the University of
Wisconsin, chairman of the committee.
said the association should so on rec
ord to point out the dangers of the
game to those unfit and the unframed
athlete. He urged that all candidates
for teams submit to rigid medical and
physical examination and the strict SUI
pervision of players, both In practice
and the playing of regular games.
Investigation showed that the cause
for an outcry against the game as "a
brutal and degrading sport can not be
maintained.
OF the thirteen players reported to
have died during 1914 from the results
of participation in football games or
practice, DIR. Ehler said that only three
| of these were college men and that
only one was member OF regular
varsity team.
THE results Of last season." DR..
Ehler said, "only emphasize that which
all college men have insisted on from
the first-that no one should partici-
pate who is not physically fit in every
respect, and then only when he has
! had proper training"

Committee to Investigate Means of
Preventing Loss Of Hearing.
+ Correspondence to Associated Press.l
London. Dec. 29.-The announce
ment tha, the British government is to
appoint an emergency committee to
investigate gun deafness among sail
ors and soldiers calls attention to added
terror OF war.
The enemy may not deprive, you of
life and limb" writes a medical cor
respondent, "but 1t is fairly certain
that your own artillery will slowly but
surely make you deaf
Several officers recently returned
from the front were found to have
suffered more than so per cent impair
ment in hearing owing to incessant
ear-splitting reports of their own guns.
The exact psychological reason was
usually found in a rupture Of the ear
drum membrane, with occasionally a
shattering or conclusion of the aurul
labyrinth.
Both the French and American
navies have made special provisions
for the prevention Of gun deafness. The
French have several ingenious artif-
cial contrivances, while the Americans
are said to use blinkers like bandage
of rubber with celluloid shoppers for
the ear holes. The Japanese also are
reported to have adopted mechanical
contrivance which lessons the shock on
the ear drums.

London. Des. 29-British observers
of the progress of the war point out
this morning to the admission In the
Austrian official announcement that
Russia is once more master OF the
passes in the Carpa thians, and the
troops along the entire Austrian front
from the Biola river to the northwest
of the Ducla pass seem to be falling
back. This means the withdrawal OF
all the forces which swept across the
mountains to form the extreme right
of the attack on the Russian armies,
and it marks another surprising rever-
sal of form on the part of the Austrian
forces whose battle fortunes since the
outbreak of hosti!lties have been con-
spicuousiy erIatic.
Elsewhere in the east little changes
are noted, while on the west the tedi-
Gus trench warfare goes forward.
Allies Lose Important Trenches.
The British press comedies the i'm
portance Of the trenches at Holhe. near
Ypres, which have been taken by the
Germans, and points out THAI the value
of these positions have been empha-
sized recently in dispatches IRON Sir
John French. They command an i'm
portant crossing OF the river Lys.. to
which the Germans have been holding
tenaciously. The taking Of these
trenches gives them stronger foot
hold.
Fears of Zeppelin raid over London
which recently has more or less sub
sided, have recently been replaced by
the possibility Of raid OF German
aeroplanes. The comparative ease with
which British airmen reached Cuxhav-
on has driven home the idea thai q
retaliatory visit is quite possible.
The Official warning as to tho best
steps TO circumvent danger heretofore
issued only In coast towns. Is now be-
ing circulated in London.

London, Dec. 29.-During the first
four months Of the war iifty-four
British foreign going ships. valued at
$11, 100000, with cargoes worth $1S,-
100000, were captured OF destroyed by
the enemy These are the official fig

According to these figures the losses
for four months were 1923 per cent of
the total number of vessels; LAC per
cent Of their total values. and .s4 per
cent of the total value of cargoes car
ried.
This would indicate that vessels
could have been insured at rate Of
81 per cent monthly and their cargoes
at a rate of "a per cent. The rates
fixed by the government at the begin
ming Of the war were 10 per cent for
vessels and liza per cent for cargoes.
This shows a snug margin of profit for
underwriters.
