in Poland.

Paris, Dec 28.-Violent lombard
ment by the Germans of positions of
/ Importance on both the right and left
wings of the allied battle front with
scattered attempts by infantry to
break through the Franco-British
| lines were outstanding features of
the official reports issued by the war
Office today.
In fact artillery duels We're fought
along the whole of the front from the
sea to the banks of the Moselle
The most sustained cannonading of
the German guns was against Die,
which was under a continuous rain
Of shells from $3.50 in the morning
until noon today.
Wage Night Battle.
In point of numbers OF guns and
men engaged the most important con-
fiict was that waged by the Germans
In an effort to dislodge the French
and her troops with Indian contin-
gents at La Boiselle and other neigh
boring trenches in the vicinity of AL
bert.
Here the Germans opened an at
tack shortly before midnight of Sat
urday and their guns kept up an al
most incessant cannOnade all night,
the artillery being silenced only long
enough to permit of the advance of
their infantry in futile attacks which
were broken before they reached the
line of the allies first trenches. Two
| or these attacks were made, but in
each of them the allies presented
such a solid front that the Germans
were not able to carry their advance
through
Fog Hats Fighting.
In Flanders a lull has come in the
lighting owing to the dense fog which
has swept up from Il Lys and has
drawn a veil between the opposing
line of trenches almost to the sea.
Battle Scene Changes.
Petrograd, Dec. 28-stubborn
fighting still continue in Poland. but
the scene is constantly changing.
Fooled at one point, the Germans
renew elsewhere their efforts to blast
a road through the Russian pasition
| along the whole front. 1t is Wsmi-
officially stated that the Germans are
using heavy artillery including eleven
inch guns in the zones Of Skiernewiez
and Rawa.
In the opinion Of officials high in
military circles the lull in the fight
ing of the Bzura and Ravka valleys
implies no permanent slackenfng of
! the efforts of the Germans 10 reach
their goal by fresh assaults on these
rivers and they are evidently looked
for.
