CONDITIONS IN ALSACE

Paris. Jan. 10 Serious anxiety is
felt here in regard to conditions in

Unofficial word says the Germans
are hurting huge masses of men

bach and the heights of Cernay.
The war Office says the French are
maintaining their positions. but makes
no claim OF additional gains The
fear is expressed that the offensive
here may have been premature and
cannot be maintained.
Retirement from Alsace at this time
would cause utmost depression
throughout France. where the recoy-
cry Of the lost provinces has be
come a fanatical religion.
Latest reports from there say that
heavy SHOWS are interfering with op-
erations. bnt that desperate lighting
continues.
Serious lighting is also in progress
In the territory between Rheims and
Verdun north of scissors and at st.
Georges, in Belgium.
Elsewhere rains and alternate thaws
and freezing conditions make any con-
certed forward movements impossible.
With the lull generally in the north
both sides are deyoting themselves to
aerial activity Clashes between rival
aviators are a common occurrence.
Both sides have lost more men and
machines in the last ten days than in
