FRANCE. Dec. 10, via London, Dec.
20.-Out of a group of German pris-
oners taken on one section Of the
British front on Sunday only nom
commissioned officer had heard any
thing OF the German emperor's peace
proposal. This circumstance coupled
with the fact that there had been abb
solutely no demonstration from any
part Of the German trenches caused
much speculation among the British
officers as to whether. despite the enl-
peroF's address to his troops, the new
peace overtures had been permitted
to reach the men actually engaged on
the fighting line.
Documents captured in the last few
days repeatedly mentioned the au-
DE- sity and initiative Of the Allied
:iirmen, and Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg is quoted as having issued
orders that the supremacy of the air
must be sharply contested Accord
ing to these documents the German
chief OF staff has ordered that where
the German lines are crossed by hos
tile aviators, German machines must
penetrate an equal distance over the
Allied lines. There has been only
a few hours OF good flying weather
in the last week but numerous COM
bats have taken place, twenty being
fought in one forenoon on q certain
sector.
German artillery has recently been
quite active and has responded more
frequently to the continuous British
fire. According to prisoners the
preponderance of British shells has
depressed the German troops in the
trenches who thought their own artil-
lery was not supporting them with
the same Yigor as the support the
English gave to their men.

Heavy Travel.

Travel is unusually heavy on all
roads this week, and the Baltimore
and Ohio officials are taking their
usual precaution to meet the condt-
tions. Extra coaches are being put
on all the through trains.
During the last of the week, and es-
pecially on Saturday the traffic will
be the heaviest, and additional
coaches will be attached to all trains
to meet the demand.
The heavy travel is making the
work OF the division difficult, added
to which are the heavy track condt-
lions. The snow and cold following
so quickly on the warm weather rem
ders the track conditions more diff
cult to meet In the operation OF
trains. The two factors together,
the weather and heavy traffic, are de
laying the trains, but good time un-
der the circumstances is being made,
The express business Is also very
heavy, and the through trains, g and
80, are loaded to their capacity al
most every day, and will be this
week. The officials are taking every
precaution for the safe and quick
operation OF all trains.
