Rain and Warmer Weather
Is FOrecaster's Prospective

Rain and a rise In temperature TO-
night and tomorrow was the expec-
tation of the forecaster at noon to-
day, and he also expected that the
south breeze prevailing at that hour
would strengthen into a moderate
wind and work into the east by night.
At noon the temperature was 50, a
rise of nine degrees from the low
mark of the night, and the south
breeze was hardly strong enough to
measure.

PARIS, Jan. II, 2:40 p. m.-The
French war office this afternoon gave
out an official announcement as fol-
lows:
From the sea to the Lys there
was yesterday an intermittent and
not very intense cannonading. In the
region of Ypres our artillery respond
ed etficaciously to the artillery of the
enemy and sent well placed shots
against the German trenches.
From the Lys to the Disc, in the
region of Boisselle, our troops took
possession of a trench of the enemy
after a violent fight. To the north
east of Scissors on Spur 1872 they
yesterday repulsed a German attack
Following this they attacked and oc-
cupied two lines of the enemy's
trenches along a front of about 500
yards, thus extending toward the

LILLE HELD

Sharp Bend Is Driven in

Said.

CAPTURED BY FRENCH
Both Sides Claim the Advantage
in Violent Fighting Near
Perthes.
KAISER'S FORCES STILL
DRIVING AT WARSAW
German Aviators in New Raid
Today Drop Shells on
Dunkirk.

An important advance has been
made by the British army, il, as re-
ported in London, it has taken pos
session of Lille. This city lies just
south of the Belgian border, to the
east of the battle line held for several
months, and its occupation by the
British would mean that sharp
bend had been made in the German
front. Neither the French nor Ger
man war office statements, however,
has given official confirmation of the
London dispatch.
Although further progress Is being
made in the advance toward Warsaw
from the west according to the Ger
man announcement, the movement is
slow, on account of bad weather.
London suggests that the inactivity
of the allies in both the east and west
is due to the fact that they are
awaiting the entrance of new men,
bers into the combination against the
Teutonic nations. 1t is said the Rou-
mania, with 100000 soldiers, is virtu-
ally ready to enter the war on the
side of the allies.
French Capture Trenches.
official accounts of the fighting in
the west from Berlin and Paris to-
day showed that comparative calm
prevails, except at few points. Even
in upper Alsace and in the Argonne,
where there have been violent en-
counters recently, activity has slack
ened. Near scissors and in the vi
cinity of Perthes, however, spirited
engagements are in progress.
The German war office admits that
the French have captured trefsrf1es
north of Soissons, toward the western
end of the battle line, but states that
further onslaughts were repulsed.
The French announcement says two
more lines Of trenches, covering 500
yards of the front, have been occu-
pied. There is similar disparity of
statement concerning the progress of
the fighting near Perthes, which has
assumed Importance because the prize
at stake is control of railroads of
high strategic value. The French
communication states that 200 yards
of German trenches were seized, while
the German authorities say that posi-
tions won by their opponents were re-
taken.
German air craft which bombarded
Dunkirk has revived rumors of a
Zeppelin raid over England. One Yep
pelin Is said to have moved toward
the English coast from Dunkirk.
