LONDON, Dec. 26.-Christmas has
come and gone without truce on the
part Of any Of the warning nations Of
Europe. While there has been no SCI
cession Of militar... activity, neverthe-
less no decisive action has occurred
along either OF the battlefronts. A
spectacular element OF the recent
news was supplied by an aerial duel
between German aircraft and two
English biplanes over the Thames.
This occurred Christmas day and was
Witnessed by several thousand people.
The Gerrsan escaped.
From Petrograd comes news that
the Russians have resumed the offen-
stye at several points in Poland and
that they have captured 1900 pris-
oners. To Offset this, however, Ber-
lin reports inactivity along the Polish
front. An Austrian army is still max
ing a courageous effort to strike down
the valley Of the Nida in the direction
of Cracow. British observers are of
the opinion that this movement will
be too late II 1t is fact that the Aus
tro-German attack in the center has
really received It's reported check.
General Won Hindenburg, the Ger
man commander in the east, still
keeps his bulldog grip on the vistula
and seems to be making his present
movements toward Warsaw and
Thorn. northwest of the Polish cap
ital in West Prussia.
On the western battle line Paris
reports slight progress from Newport
while Berlin balances this with the
claim that the Germans have taken
some British trenches. The French
on their side again claim the capture
of a trench near Puisaleine, which
they held in spite OF several counter
attacks.
From Athens comes an incomplete
report of the refusal of the Turkish
authorities to permit the departure
from Tripoll, in Syria, Of the British
and French consuls and number of
British and French citizens on an
American merchant ship under convoy
OF an American cruiser. This refusal
is said to have resulted in an attack
by Turkish crowd on the crew OF
the merchantmen. while the sailors
We're embarking some Frenchmen.
This attack ceased however when the
warships threatened bombardment.
The cruiser subsequently escorted this
vessel to Dedeagatch, north of the
Dardanelles in Turkey.
