PEPPER HILL, Nerdun Front, Sat urday Dec l6 CVia Chantilly from a staff correspondent of the Associated Press) Snow and sleet fell through out last evening rendering difficult fur ther operations The French staff's eX- animation of the German positions captured demonstrated their formidable nature and their high state of prepar- edness against assault.
 Thirty German deserters. who came in before the battle began. testify that the crown princes army had knowledge that an attack was about to be made and were confident that they could hold the ground which during their nine months of occupation they had strongly organized. They assert that more Germans were desirous of desert ing but that the strictest precautions which has been taken and the nature of the ground prevented from doing so.
 The difficulties of the French au- vance may be realized from the alti- tude of the hills which the troops were ordered to take and succeeded in cap turing Pepper Hill. which is double crested. Is l.122 feet high; I,ouvemont is LBS feet high. and another hill. un- named. behind. is 1880 feet. The work of the French aviators. Ike that of the infantry. and artillerymen was carried out everywhere with almost indescrib- able daring. Dozens of squadrillas Of airmen fitted about observing and cor recting the artillery fire and accom- panyinP the infantry formations in their advance. after which they flew rapidly back to headquarters with de- tailed reports. thus keeping the com mander- -chief in closest touch with the events.
 The clearness Of the atmosphere as- sisted the men greatly while the at tempts of the Germans artillery fire 10 bring them down were generally abortive owing to the disorder among the gunners brought about by the quickness of the French advances.
 During the entire day not a French airman was killed On the other hand it Is reported that they destroyed a German observation balloon. which probably accounts for terrific burst of flame toward noon, facing Douau- mont The fort was the objective of the German guns for hours but the proiectile did only slight damage.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-While the diplomatic controversy with Germany over Belgian deportations temporarily is In aheyancc officials are watching carefully for any indication of a softening of the German attitude as a result of the protests of the United States, Spaip Holland Switzerland and the vatican. It would occasion no surprise here if the German policy were quietly modified despite the governments declaration that the measures taken were necessary and in accordance with international law

Last Thursday on the Paonia grounds
Delta took one from the North forkers.
Just why Maxwell will play the team at
