Operations of Last Nine Days Puts
Germans on Defensive
Everywhere.
LIQUID MUD GETS INTO GUNS
Soldiers Unable to Fire Them Use
Them as CIubs-EiRht Hundred
Yards Gained in One


PARIS. Dec. 30.--There has been given
out in Paris the following official recital
OF the principal events of the war between
December l6 and December 26:
This period OF nine days resulted in
consolidating the successes won by us
during the ten days preceding. Our ag-
gressive attitude has been continued with
ever increased energy; everywhere the
enemy has been reduced to a defensive
attitude. The violence OF counter attacks
has been evidence that he accepted this
attitude reluctantly. The checking of
every movement made by him In his en-
deavor to recapture ground lost to us
made our advantage the greater
ut is proper TO say that at various
points along the front. particularly near
Arras. on the western boundary of the
Argonne district, and near Verdun, we
have made ourselves the masters OF i'm
portant points of support.
The operations to the north OF the
Lys have been attended by great hard
ship because OF the bad weather; the
cold, liquid mud, in which the men have
had to move. has gotten in the brooches
of their rifles, This made 1t impossible
to shoot. The fighting consequently has
been with -the-butt end of nusRets ana
even with fists.
According to an expression used by
one of their leaders, our soldiers are
literally blots of mud. There has been
organized for them a system by which
they can now bathe and change clothes
upon leaving the trenches.

Masked Bandits
Rob Passengers
on Sunset Express

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 3.-Two
masked men boarded the west-bound
Sunset express on the Galveston, Harris
burg & San Antonio railway near Cline,
Tex, early today, robbed the drowsy
passengers In the two rear sleeping cars
at the point OF revolvers, signalled the
train to stop. dropped off and escaped.
The precise amount of loot the robbers
got is not known, but 1t is eblieved to
be considerable. as several of the passen-
gers carried large amounts OF money
and valuable jewelry.
The robbers climbed on the train as it
was leaving Cline The porter was made
to go ahead and awaken the passengers.
AS the train neared Spofford Tex, one OF
the robbers pulled the bellcord and the
train stopped. Both men jumped off and
disappeared before the astounded porter
could warn others of the train crew.
Officers aboard the train quickly or
ganlzed a posse and started in pursuit
The country through which the robbers
fled is rough and because of the DIFF
ficulties in the way of their flight, It
was believed they soon would be cap
tured.
A drawing room in one OF the sleeping
cars robbed was occupied by a wealthy
Mexican, who is said to have carried
$1,000 in jewelry and money. II Is not
known If he was despoiled.
The bandits did not have time to rob
the occupants OF the other three sleeping
cars They entered only the San Antonio
sleeper and the one known as the New
Orleans-san Francisco car.

The Days
War NeuDs

Russian assertions that an i'm
portant victory has been won over
the Austrian forces In Galicia were
confirmed in an official statement
from Vienna. in which the admis-
sion is made that the Austrians
were compelled to retreat along
the entire eastern front.
Austria's defeat at the hands
of Servla apparently has been fol-
lowed by renewed activity on the
part of Montenegro, whose troops
have carried the fighting to Aus
trian soil in Herzegovina. and are
now undertaking a vigorous Of
fensive movement. The Vienna
War office states that the Mon
tenegrin attacks thus far have
been repulsed easily.
Russia's claim to a victory over
the Turks in the Caucasus Is dis
puted by reports which reached
DtIllh lAOui NOlSlhhNAhSRAVt ooJ
ing that the Turks have won IAN
other success" and are pursuing
the retreating Russians. 1t is
also said at Constantinople that
another British attempt to land
troops in Arabia failed.
The British foreign office has
under consideration now the COM
munication from Washington re-
monstrating against the forcible
searching and detention of Amer
ican ships suspected of carrying
contraband of war.
German Victories in the east
are announced by the Berlin War
office, whose statement was in di-
rect contrast with recent dis
patches from Petrograd.
The French official communities
tion asserts that further progress
has been made in Belgium, in
cluding the capture of an impor-
tant German position.
