 Q attack the Allies had moved hundreds of machine guns into the utter trenches, at the same time doubling the regular number of men m the trenches. The result was a stream of lead so steady and so ac- curate that the Germans were unable to get inside the wire entanglements, being moved down in windrows, and forced to fall back to their own lines. Gen. Joffre himself has gone to Coronne and taken personal com mand, and is moving fresh troops and new cannon to drive the Ger mans back.

 erson went ashore near the creek in small boat, and when returning to the launch between seven and eight o'clock last night, struck strip of ice about an inch or so thick, through which they proceeded to force the skiff. The sharp edges of the ice tore through the skiff, and she filled with water. To prevent her from sinking completely the two men went over the side and called to Lieberg, who had remained on the launch to come to their rescue. It was some time before they were able to attract his attention however, and when he became aware of their predicament, he started to their rescue in a little
