Won Mackensen Takes Charge
of New Drive in Dobrudia
Section

London, Dec. 25-Not even Christmas
cheer stopped wars manning today.
Reports from every front disclosed
slight letup in the business Of killing.
London itself celebrated, but with a
cheer, tinged with sorrow for loved ones
lost and re-consecration for the future.
London s main manifestation Of the
Christmas spirit was furnished in the
elaborate arrangements made TO give
furloughed Tommies real taste Of
cheer and home comforts. There were
thousands of khaki clad warriors who
came over from France to spend the
holiday at home--or, if not at home, in
friendly hands.
Snow made real Christmas snrround-
ings on nearly every 'front.' II traced a
covering of the trenches in the Vosges,
on the western front; it interp0sed a
natural obstacle to unlimited fighting
on the east. High up in the Carpathians
the Russians and Germans were locked;
and south, in the dazzling whiteness of
the peaks Of the Alps, the Italians and
Australians still fought each other from
trenches dizzily planted on height and
in valley. In Macedonia both sides
were showed in. 7
Dispatches From Rumania and Dob
rudia did not detail the weather, but
indicated perhaps the most vigorous Of
all warfare Of the day in progress. Field
Marshal Won Mackensen has switched
from his drive of the Teutonic troops
north from Bucharest, to take charge of
new and violent offensive directed
against the Russians in Dobrudja.
Here in London, nearly all Of Bri-
tain's officials stuck closely at their
desks planning ahead. Christmas usual
" found all officials holiday vacation
ing in the past, but it was symholieaI
of the new order, installed by Premier
Lloyd George, that personal comfort
this year came second to the nation 3
needs and the officials, for the most
part, were right on the job Premier
Lloyd George himself set an example in
this regard, foregoing all pleas of his
family to spend Christmas at his home
in Wales. He also expects to ace0mp-
lish some work at his office today. SO
do most of the other cabinet Officers.
