London, Jan. 7th-A French official
commuuiqoe says: "rho enemy delivered
uusuccesstully two attacks in the re-
giou of the sand dunes and southeast
Of st. Georges. On the rest ST the
front, north OF the Lys, and from the Lys
to the Disc, only artillery h4hung has
taken place. In the valley OF the Aisue and
a section Of Rheims, our batteries have
gained the upper hand over the enemy, re-
duciug him to silence. At q point north
vest OF Rheims certain Of onr troops have
advanced about 100 yalds. In the Arg"nne
there has developed q very spirited action,
which has permitted as to retako 300 yards
Of trenches in tine forest La Grurie, nj the
same place where there was recently g slight
giving way, rs previously reported From
Bagatelle and from 1outalue Naiame there
were delivered two ylicut German attacks,

Chau~see US hleg up. by exploding a mine,
500 yards OF German trenches, half OF winch
we subsequently occupied. From the Ar
goune to the E0sges bad weather continues,
there being fog and mud at different points
along this line. Fairly spirited ARTILLERY Ok
changes have taken place in the forest Le
Pr6tre, near Pont a Mousson, where we con
tinue to gain ground. In the region OF
Thanh, despite violent caunonNding, we have
retained the gains achieved the night before
at Steinbach, as well as IN The trenches
southwest and northwest of this village
The enemy has succeeded IN reoccupyIuP
one Of hs former trenches on the eastern
flank of Il nearby height,the summit of which,
however, remains IN our Possession. La the
AIgonne, near the ravine OF Courte ChRu9-
see, Mt the point where we blew up the Ger
man trenches, the attacking regiment was
commanded by Colonel Peppino Garibuldi
and delivered a vigorous attack against the
breach made by the explosions. The Ita-
Inns captured one hundred and twenty
prisoners, including twelve under-olicerE,
mud took, one machine gun and one calssou.
The chief Adjltant OF the regiment,
SignOr Constantine Garibaldi, a brother
of the Colonel, was killed during this attack
Lieutenant Bruno Garibaldi was killed GA
December twentieth in n charge against the
Germans in the Argouno district The
foregoing mention ol officers is contrary -
tue French custom.
A Berlin official s'atomout savs. "In the
western arena the French continued yester-
day their systematic bombardment of villages
situated behind our front They seem in
different to the killing Of thair own country
men and the destruction Of French homes,
but this kind Of bombordment oauses as
very little trouble. Al Souaiu and in the
forest of Argonne we captured several Of tine
enemy's trenches and made prisoner OF two
officers and two. hundred men. The French
again obtained a foothold early yesterday on
the much fought for height west of Sem
helm, but were again driven off utter q strong
bayonet attack and did not venture to ut
tempt further advances. Fifty Alpine
Chasseurs were taken prisoners by us. In
the eastern arena there were no changes
Yesterday, or in Northern Poland. bQt ia Pc
land west of the Vi5tula our troops penctra
ted as far as "a branch OF the Suitha river,
after having captured several of the enetny's
points of support, fourteen hundred prison
es and nine machine guns beng left in our
hands. The situation on the eastern bank
of the Pillica is unchanged.
