Russian Duma Action

Chicago, Dec Wheat prices shot

The opening was one Of the most

British Laud Nivelle
for Brilliant Victory

London. Dec. 16.-The French feat
Of recapturing in two days fighting
what it took the German Crown Prince
nine months of costly effort to win
arouscs tremendous interest and en-
thusiasm here. The British press Is
heaping praise on their gallant ally.
Naturally. General Nivelle is receiv-
ing the highest congratulations, as It
was he who engineered the assault on
Douaumont and Vaux, which made the
latest success possible.
Though only four French divisions
attacked five German divisions, the IN
official accounts show that they swept
forward 10 their detectives. without
serious opposition. Not the least i'm
portant value of the latest drive is the
rich haul of guns. The fact that the
Germans only reply consisted of long
range bombardment until nearly
twenty-four hours had elapsed, during
which the French were permitted TO
consolidate their positions and make a
counter drive almost impossible, shows
the disorganization and Generalization
Of their forces after the attack.
This success shows that surprise at
tacks are still possible iir trench war
fare. The repetition Of Douaumont and
Vaux is seen at Beaumont and Hamel,
and in all the element Of surprise fig
ured largely.
