Berlin says there was only slight &C
tiyity because of the snowstorm. Paris
announced that the Germans, in at
tempting TO cross the canal near DIX
nude, were thrown back, while the al
lies recaptured several strategic
points, repulsed two German attacks
.. southeast of Ypres and destroyed
German regiment south of Bixscnoote.
The Germans are now adopting the
new open formation when attacking.
Possibly this reduces casualties, but
the attacks are no more successful.
The battle has become less severe
because of the billiards. which have
swept the trenches and brought great
suffering to the wounded as well as to
the men in the fields A large area of
West Flanders around Dixmude has
been flooded by the heavy rains and is
no mans land for fighting.
French Official Statement.
The text of the statement given out
in Paris follows;
Along the User canal, from Nieu-
port to Dixmude, the fighting was Tim
tied to artillery exchang IS. The in
undated territory now stretches to the
of Dixmude to poipl three miles
north of Bixschoote.
The forces of the enemy, which en-
deavored to cross the canal between
Dixmude and Bixschoote. were driven
back beyond the bridges. A German
regiment was completely destroyed at
a point to the south of Bixschoote
ITO the southeast of Ypres two 9TH
er German attacks we're repulsed. On
our part we have taken the offensive
and reconouered certain points of sup
port.
"In the Argonne, the town of St.
Hubert again has been attacked by
the Germans, but without success. In
the region of st. Mihiel a surprise at
tack by the enemy against Apremont
resulted in failure,
Denies Losses in Areonne.
A semiofficial explanation Of the
French position in the forest of Ar
gonne was given out in Paris. 1t
said:
THE fighting line has not changed
perceptibly in the last two months.
The French and German trenches are
separated at some points by distance
not exceeding fifty yards. Infantry
fire is constantly going on, while all
the expedients of siege operations are
being utilized. Daily engagements oc-
cur, resulting sometimes in bending
either the French or the German lines
back for a distance of $50 yards.
The casualties have been heavy for
both armies, but the German losses
certinIy have been greater than those
OF the French"
This explanation was brought forth
by the publication in the German press
of a statement to the effect that the
French had been driven out of the Ar
gonne. while the siege of Verdun was
proceeding. Regarding the latter state
ment, it is declared that the French
are advancing,
