French trenches in Flanders by cor

der the auspices of the French general
staff, is here described.
Standing in the shelter of a won
derfully ingenious and deep-dug
trench on what undoubtedly is the
bloodiest battlefield in European his
tory, the first and most notable impress
sion of an observer is one of utter sur
prise at the absence of movement and
the lack of noise. Within ones range
of vision, with strong field glass. there
are probably concealed no fewer than
10000 men, yet except for the few
French soldiers with rifles in their
hands standing or kneeling in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and keenly peering
over the fiat land toward the posi-
tions known to be held by the Germans,
no human presence was noticeable.

covered trenches The approach to
these positions has been made almost
impossible from the standpoint of an
infantry attack by barbed wire en-
tanglements strewn with brush and
branches of trees and having the ap-
pearance from distance of a small
copse of heather.
Behind the advanced line of the allies,
which thus far has succeeded in hold
ments OF the German troops, are large
bodies of fresh reserves, ready to give
their help in stopping any attempted
rush of the Germans for the channel
ports. Troops of cavalrymen stand at
the heads of their chargers in neigh
boring villages, ready to jump into the
saddle at moments call and stem any
torrent of oncoming infantry which
may break through the lines of de-
fense
Cavalrymen in Trenches.
Other cavalry regiments, owing to the
small extent to which horsemen may
be used in this burrowing campaign,
have been supplied with rifles and bay
onets and are taking their turn in the
trenches with their comrades in the
foot service. In many instances they
have proved their versatility and dis
played great dash.
The artillerymen, who often have
suffered severely from the destructive
fire of shell and shrapnel, have now
learned to seek proper cover and con-
ceal their positions. SO that the hostile
airmen who constantly hover over
head can rarely discern them.

ENJOHNS THE ISSUANCE
OF LIQUOR LICENSES
Justice Mccoy Issues Preliminary
Order in Case of N Street
Saloons.

Declaring his view of the meaning
of the word now" in the Jones-Works
act to be as of the date of the passage
Of that statute and not the time it be-
came operative. Justice Mccoy of the
District Supreme Court today granted a
preliminary injunction against the is
suance of liquor licenses to James w.
Wardell, at 1908 N street northwest.
and Patrick F. Carr. at 1905 NJ street
northwe t. The effect of the prelimi-
nary order. the court explained, will
be to keep the case in the present con-
dition until a final hearing of the mat
ter set for December 21.
The excise board granted the licenses
subject to the final order of the court.
Questions of Jurisdiction and of the
right of the Washington and Old Do
minion Railway Company. a Virginia
corporation. to prosecute the inJunc-
ton proceedings were raised. but JUS
tice Mccoy thought they could best be
determined on final hearing The court
declared that a prima facie case for
the issuance of a temporary injunction
had been made out by the bill OF COM
plant.
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and
Crandal Mackey appeared for the COM
pany. Assistant Corporation Counsel
stephens represented the excise board
and the saloon men had as counsel
Rosa F. Downing, George A. Berry.
Alexander H. Bell and Leon Tobriner.
The contention of the railroad COM
pany was that as the Jones-Works act
directed that no license should be is
sued beyond the western fire limits as
now" existing, the board was without
authority to grant a license for a sa-
loon loo west Of s5th street which was
the western fre limit when the bill
passed. About one month after the
passage of the act the Commissioners
extended the dre limits to 37th street,
and the excise board was advised that
1t could grant a license to the limits
as set when the act became operative.

at a conclusion with regard to the
course of events.
New Battle Develops.
1t is apparent, however, that a new
battle has developed to the southwest
of Lodz, where the Germans have
formed a new line with fresh forces
brought from Kalisc. and are again
trying to penetrate the Russian center.
while the Russians are again attempt
ing to surround the Germans.
The Russians, too, have had time to
straighten out their line, and, in tho
eyes of the allies, another battle fol-

this region must help them in the

ened, and. in addition, will soon have
to turn their attention to the Russian
offensive against Silesia and around
Cracow.
On the other hand. German experts
believe that defeat for the Russians
would enable the German generals to
unite all their forces for another blow
against the allies in the west.
However, the battle must last for
some days, and the opposing troops
may be counted upon to fight with the
same intensity as they did in the pre-
vfous conflict, when the losses in killed.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The first official word to indi-
cate that the predicted assault
of the allies on the German lines
in Belgium may have been begun
came today. The German war
Office statement says that the
French have made repeated at
tacks in Flanders, which were re-
pulsed. This brief reference does
not make it clear how extensive
the movement is.
In Alsace, too, the French ap-
parently have made new attack.
The German statement reports
that an attempted advance north
west Of Aitkirch, Upper Alsace,
was beaten back with consider
able losses for the French.
Paris and London are reserved
concerning these reported de-
velopments. So far as was re-
lated in dispatches from those
cities, no events of great irnpor-
tance are under way.
In the campaign against the
Russians, Germany asserts that
she has won a victory in East
Prussia, inflicting heavy losses in

''The news that the Russian troops
have taken Wieliczka, which is only
three miles from the outer fortifica-
tions of Cracow, seems to indicate that
there is something wrong with the de-
fenses of that fortress as Wieliczka
should be well within the range of the
minor ornaments of first class fort.
Forty prisoners among others taken
by the Cossacks at CZenstochowa were
found to be women, in soldiers uni

gior of Czenstochowa.'
Heavy Guns Mounted.
The Russians are reported to be
mounting heavy batteries around the
town of Wieliczka, which they occupied
Wednesday, and from which the outer
forts of Cracow can be reached.
Important as this is-for the fall of
Cracow would lay open the roads to
Vienna, Breslau and Berlin-the main
