Moving on Warsaw.

London, Dec 1.-THE offensive
movement of the French and British
has become general and is being push
ed with strong forces, particularly in
Flanders, the Argonne, the Woevre
and Alsace. ~.
While the French claim to have
been successful at all points, except
at Steinbach, in Alsace, the German
official report says the allies attacks
have been unsuccessful at several
places.
On the whole, however, it would
appear that the allies, who now have
a superiority in numbers as we'll as
in artillery, have succeeded in making
some progress and have withstood
vigorous counter attacks delivered by
the Germans.
The allies are in possession of Hol-
lebeke, in Flanders, and have made
an appreciate advance during the
last two days, as last week they were
being attacked by the invaders two
miles to the west of st. Eloy, which
is on the Ypres-Armentieres road.
Germans Check Left Wing.
The force which has been checked
at Steinbach is the left wing of the
army, which for some time has been
fighting it's way toward Muelhausen
and which has cleared a considerable
part of Alsace of the Germans
1t is evident that, while the Ger
mans are prepared to offer stubborn
resistance to attempted advances in
the regions mentioned in the official
communications, they expect the main
attack of the allies to be made in an
other direction, or are themselves pre-
pairing for an offensive, for they have
gathered considerable forces at Court
raj, from which point they could be
quickly transferred either to Flanders
or southwark across the French from
tier.
The only news from the east is the
admission of the German general staff
that the German column which ad-
vanced through Mlawa toward War
saw "has reoccupied it's old positions,
owing to the superiority of the enc
N.Y. This in a measure confirms the
Russian accounts of a victory on this
part of the battle front.
Austrans Cross Carpathians.
The Austrians have succeeded in
again crossing the Carpathians and,
according to their account, are driving
the Russian left back toward the Riv-
er San. This Austrian army, assisted
by German achievements, has under
taken the rather difficult task of fore
ing the Russians to withdraw from in
front Of Cracow and also of relieving
Przemysl. The Austrians apparently
have met with at least partial success
in the former project.
Their army in Servia, however, has
not recovered from the surprise which
the Servians gave it. Just when they
were thought to be beaten the Ser
VANS turned on the invaders and
drove them westward and northward
out of Servian territory. The only
part of Servia remaining in Austrian
hands comprises small territory in
Guiding the towns of Shabats and LOS
nitza.
The little Montenegrin army also is
doing it's share and, according to a
Cettinje report, has succeeded in cut
ting off part of the Austrian right
wing, which retreated into Bosnia. It
is now announced in behalf of Servia
that the previous retreats were due to
lack of ammunition and that the
stores had been replenished by cap
lures from the Austrians.
Headquarters in Vienna, dealing
with the situation, asserts that the re.
tirement of the right wing made it
advisable to abandon Belgrade, which
was evacuated without fighting.
