FRENCH ARE ANXIOUS
To CAPTURE ALSACE
(By Associated Press

| GENEVA, Dec. 23.-"We want AL
SAGE" is the war cry of the French
troosp along the right of the long bat
tie line. They are eager TO advance
and during the last few days between
verdum and Belfort there have been
serious encounters.
Sometimes the battles are fought in
snow storms. At Seppoih in Alsace the
soldiers simply fired in the direction
Of the noise, not being able to see
hundred yards on account of the
storm.
The regiments on both sides, which
have been supplied with skis for the
winter, are making good use of them.
The French Chasseurs Alpins use them
with great facility, having climbed in
peace times the Swiss and French
Alps. Recently at Bresel in AIsaee a
company of French troops swept
through q forest on skis and cut OF the
retreat of a company of German scouts
whom they made prisoners.
The French have been bombarding
Seppois, BreseI and Larystsen I'm AL
sace) for the last two days with their
famous IS guns. A large number of
German landwehr soldiers and civil
fans are at work at Waldhigoten con-
structing the double railway line from
Lepoldshoehe and St Louis. The
French artillery with it's base at Bel
fort has now moved up to within five
miles of Altkirch. French infantry and
artillery now command the heights
above GuebwiIler which will soon be-
come intenable by the German gar
rison.
The Swiss paper Journel De Jura,
reports from Belfort that a large
number of heavy creusot guns have re-
Gently arrived at Verdun, making the
fortress more scure from attacks. The
French army descending from the
Schulucht on Stossweier and Munster
captured Gebwepheim near Cernay,
where 5000 Germans are holding the
place. This manoeuVre and success
open direct communication with Bel
fort instead of passing by the Ballon
! d'Alsace. In these engagements sever
al thousand soldiers on both sides
have been killed and wounded. The
fighting, though on a small scale, has
been terrible. All these troops are
being held in leash from Verdum to
BeIfort, awaiting orders from General
Jofrre.

OLD SANTA CLAUS IS
To VISIT SOLDIERS
THIRTY MILLION BROKEN HOMES
IN BRITAIN, But CHEER WILL
GRACE HEARTHSTONES

LONDON, Dec. 23.-There are thirty
million broken homes in Europe from
which the men have departed and are
now dead, held as prisoners, or are
fighting at the front. This means so |
many sorrowing women and one hun
dred million children who will spend /
Christmas day without their daddies.
While the clocks tick of the first
minute Of Christmas the nations of
Europe will spend $4,000 in the kill
ing of men. Every hour of the birth
day of the Man of Peace will see 3d.
100000 spent on war.
The admonition Thou shalt not
kill" has been forgotten but neverthe-'
less the spirit of Christmas will stride
to the most remote corners of the
grimest battleields, and fill the
trenches and forts just as it will lay
hands on the men or war and the min
istries and the great capitals of the
warning nations.
l have visited all of the countries
involved in the war except Russia
since Christmas tide approached,
throwing its light as brightly as ever
over early December. I saw devout
Austrians in Galicia wearing sprigs Of
Christmas trees and mistletoe in their
hats. l saw the mail for German SOL
diers, composed almost entirely of
Christmas cards and packages. AS
long as fortnight ago in France and
Flanders military transport autos
ground past bearing burdens of gifts
which had been accommodating for ten
days for the English, French and Bel
gian troops.
Tons of Presents For Soldiers Afield.
This outburst of giving is so over
whelming that even the French-Mo-
hammedan and English-Hindco sol
diers will receive tons OF presents. The
Russians alone so far have not shared
in the general fiooL of presents which
will sweep the trenches and battlefield
of Europe day after tomorrow. Their
Christmas does not come .antil Jan
uary I.
1t is "spug" Christmas in Europe
this year Gifts of every description
are being sent to the men in the
trenches, London papers have pub
lished special instructions stating just
how packages should be addressed and
mailed to reach the soldiers. But warm
clothing, cigars, tobacco, cigarettes
and food Of every description, from
buildings and dainties to the more sub
stantial varieties, comprise the bulk
of the gifts from every country.
Realization that it's men are suf-
fering, fighting and dying has resulted
in a different, stronger Christmas
spirit than Europe has ever known.
There will be some merriment for
Englishmen even in Berlin. For a
fortnight the English prisoners of war
there have been rehearsing for a
Christmas concert In England, Ger
man prisoners will give concerts in
the various concentration camps
There will be Christmas, too, for
the Belgian refugees in England, Scat
tered as they are now through the
country, these unfortunates will con-
sumo tons of goods furnished by the
English people on Christmas day.
