Christina at the Yacht Club.
With yule logs cracking in the fire
place and good fellowship reigning
supreme, the Christmas spirit entered
the Holly Beach Yacht Club on Christ
mas Eve and this morning the mem
bers who had hung their stockings on
the quaint chimney found that Santa
had moi forgotten them. In n cor
ner stood a magnificent tree bearing
gifts for everyone. Mr.. Rigor received
an automobile with an accident policy
attached. Uncle Jne Booth received
a fire engine. Santa must have found
ont that Uncle joe was appointed
trustee of the fire company Frank
LeCompte received a fine doll baby.
Mayor Hoffman was presented with a
leather medal for bravery during the
past week. Santa himself knew that
toys could also be used at this celebra-
tion so a miniature supposal plant was
left In VIM. Nuss's stocking. Captain
Andy upon investigating found a set
OF cooking utensils In his stocking,
while Mr.. Werner was glad that Santa
had one boat left for him. MI. Kelly,
steward of the club and his assistants,
are to be congratulated upon their
ability of making Christmas Day at
the club one of festivities and one
which will be remembered by all.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Dec. 30.-British point to
the admission in the Austrian official
announcements that Russia is once
more master of the passes in the Car
pathian mountains and that the troops
along the entire Austrian front, from
the Bala river to point northeast OF
the Dukla pass, seem to be falling
back
This means the withdrawal of virtu-
ally all the forces which swept across
the mountains to form the extreme
right in the concerted Austro-German
attack on the Russian armies, and it
marks another surprising reversal OF
form on the part of the Austrian sol
diers, whose battle fortunes since the
outbreak OF hostilities have been con-
spicuously erratic.
The following statement, received
from the Russian general headquar-
ters, was issued last evening:
"Tody, between the lower Vistula
and the Pilica, only fighting of small
Importance took place. The Germans
left their trenches on the right bank
of the Bzura near the village of Mistr-
zevice and fell back on the left bank
of the Bzura.
"On the river Rawka our heavy ar
tillery is fighting efficaciously large
number of German batteries of heavy
guns.
I'm the region of Bolimovo our at
tacks have alternated with those of
the Germans.
I'VE have dislodged the enemy from
a trench near the village Of Sumino,
which they had taken from us previ-
ously, by a counter attack in which
we captured machine guns and prison
ers.
"On the center between the Pilica
and the upper vistula only cannonad-
ing was heard. We made progress on
the two wings.
During an attack on 5 GeIiran re-
doubt to the south of InowlOdz We CAP
tured three machine guns.
"Our troops met with success while
crossing the lower Nida in the taking
by storm of the villages of Starokorc-
zin and Senislavice, which were well
fortified. During the fighting we cap
tured 40 Austrian officers and over
LOO soldiers, and three machine guns.
"In western Galicia We Have made
progress in spite Of the almost impass-
able condition Of the country due to
mud.
1--WE have driven the enemy from
the front Of k-Sorlice-Jasliska,
taking guns and a large number OF
machine guns.
During the first half of December
(old style calendar) we captured So
900 Austrians."
The French official statement on the
progress of the war refers to compare
lively minor French successes and
mentions violent bombardment of GER
tain French positions by German ar
tillery. The French have occupied
village in Belgium; they have gained
ground in the Argonne and they are
investing Steinbach in upper Alsace.
