The lid had been split and four blades
inserted in the wood. then the lid
glued together and vanished. Pollitto
and Julius Ross both escaped and
were never apprehended. Ross worked
from the outside and passed the saws

Over Raid.

LONDON. Dec. IS. IL d. m.-The
battle lines in the East and West
have undergone only, infiniteslmal
changes in the past day. The French
and German reports agree that the
Germans have captured a section or
trenches near Hollebeke, south or
lpres. The French assert that the
Germans gave up trenches on the frst
line, TO the extent OF about 500 or
900 yards In the Lens region. further
east, while unsuccessful demonstra-
strations have been made from both
tended lines.
The reports of the number wounded
both armies are sending back from
the lines in Belgium appear to show
that the lighting on Christmas in that
country was the fiercest of the past
month. Correspondents In the rear
say the Belgians, as a result OF 1--WE

Enthusiastic over Raid.

tic over the raid by their cruisers
and seaplanes on Cuxhaven. They
decline to accept without reserva-
tion the German statement that ships
at Cuxhaven and the gas works were

done. and consider this improbable.
The naval writer's dilate and oecu-
late lavishly upon the most remark
able engagement OF twentieth century
warfare. They conclude that the
German ships feared to come forth
and give battle TO the British cruisers
because of the uncertainty as 10
whether the British battleships were
lurking behind them. The fact that
the Zeppelins were driven of is taken
by some as evidence that the Zeppe-
Inns are really untrustworthy craft.
Others think IL means that the Ger
