WAVES CAUSE, HEAVY DAMAGE
Cost: One Life and Work Havoc Alons
Southern Coast ofs:H y
California.

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 1s.:--Heavy
seas rolled up by a forty-mile wind
along the southern coast cost one life
and wrought damage amounting to
more than 100000 at Long Beach and
at Hueneme.
John Caspinola, q fisherman, was
lost of the launch Roma, which went
out to search for motorboat, blown
out to sea with six members of the
family Of ]. H. Blake of Redondo. The
Blakes were saved, however, by an
other vessel. "
At Long Beach breakers dashed into
the strand, tearing out bulkheads and
cement walks, and wrecking several
residences close to the water front.
The greatest damage was sustained
In the seaside park and Alamatos Bay
district. Huge waves battered down
houses, marooned families in their
homes, and flooded streets and street
car tracks to depths at from one to
three feet. Several factories and two
schools were among the buildings
flooded and workmen and students
took q compulsory holiday.
At Hueneme q 1000 foot section Of
long wharf was smashed, causing
damage estimated at $4,000. 4

In the west the allies continue to
make progress, only slightly each day
yet. as announced by Paris, the ad.
vance during the past week has aggre-

in Flanders and Arras.

Allies Make Advance

London, Dec. 21.-AlthOugh there
seems no doubt the Russians are re.
treating and for the present any an
ticipations the allies may have held
of an early Invasion of Germany must
be dismissed, considerable mystery
surrounds the reported decisive vic
tory by the Germans which Berlin cele-
brated.
Vienna gives few details of the fight
ing in the east. The claim is made
that the Russians have been driven
from the positions north Of the Car
pathian mountains from Krosno to
Zaklicyn, which would indicate that
part of the southern line of railway
in Galicia again is in the hands Of the
Austrians and that Pietrkow and an
other central Poland town have been
stormed.

Silence Is maintained as regards
north Poland, where the German VIC
tory is said to have been achieved
The German official report dimisses
the battle with the statement that Gin
Poland we are all pursuing the enc
my, who continues to give way"
Amsterdam dispatches serve to
heighten the confusion over the situa-
ton by quoting Berlin papers as ex-
pressing disappointments at the fact
that no names of battlefelds are men
toned, that no tangible results of the
fighting are disclosed, and that no
lists are given Of the number Of cap.
tured guns and prisoners. Some dis.
appointment is expressed here at the
silence Of the Russians and advices
from Petrograd are awaited eagerly.
Allies Advance 10 Slow.
The allies offensive in the west con
tinues to progress very slowly, accord
Ing to- the Paris communication, al
though the aggregatS gains claimed
during the past week indicate con
siderable advance in Flanders and in
the vicinity of Arras, where the allies
seemingly are making their greatest
efforts in the belief that penetration
of the German lines would compel q
general German retirement.
1t is still, however, a matter of siege
warfare in Belgium and France.
Berlin says many Of the attacks OF
the allies are being repulsed with
heavy casualties, which are increased
when the Germans mine trenches
which the allies are compelled to
evacuated.
No British Ships Lost.
The admiralty denies the German re
port that German ships which raided
the east coast of England Wednesday
sank two British destroyers, saying nc
British ships were lost.
In reply to request from the cor
porations of Hartlepool and West
Hartlepool to make an investigation Of
the raid. the admiralty has replied tina,
this will not be necessary as the gov
eminent is in possession of all the
facts.
The coroners of the three towns
which were bombarded still are busy
holding inquests over the bodies of the
victims, the numbers of whom con
tinue to grow as injured persons sue
cumb to their wounds.
AS result of the bombardment the
kingdom has been flooded with post
ers, reading:
"Avenge Scarborough! Up and al
