Says the Offensive Movement of thc
 Alice Has Been Checked.

Berlin, Dec. p, by Wireless to Say vile, L. I--Among the items given out for publication today by the ofheial press bureau were the followink:
 sThe order of General Joffre for an offensive movement has confirmed the belief held here for some days that the allies in the west were about to attempt an advance. Thus far, how ever. their attempts everywhere have failed and the situation seems little changed.
 "An army headquarters report con- corning the operations in the east makes mention of the continuation of an attack, but whether this is being made against the Russian rear guard or the Russian main army cannot be stated.
 .GThe situation in West Galieia is cleared. The Russians there are holding the east bank of the Dunajec river to Tuchow and another line ex- tends southeastword past Krosmo. Heavy fighting Is proceeding on both these lines and also in the Lupkow pass.
 "A despatch from Budapest says the Austrians are preparing a final blow against the Serv;ans, but gives no fn- timation of what form it will take.
 "The newspapers here today publish an unofficial statement from head quarters In aneWer to the omclal French war bulletin of December IS. The French report asserted that sev- eFal trenches had been taken at Auchy, La Bassee, St. Laurent and Blangy. The statement from headquarters says ali these places lie in the rear of the German positions.
 A French report said the French position near Albert had reached the entanglements of the second line of German trenches. Thhe headquarters statement admits that eighty French men came this far, but says they were all captured. The French claim that the German attacks near St Hubert all failed is answered with the state rasut that the Germans took 800 pris- oners in these attacks exterminatfns l utterly tine Ninth battalion of French I cha
