places flags are every where, in fruit
trees and on top of court houses. Ma
rietta was really bit of laggard
in raising flag. Such small places

been floating the stars and stripes
at least three months before we did.
In some places crops are fine and
in others cotton is being replanted.

the army and navy organization is
concentrated and co-ordinated.
Along the northern limit of the Ven
etian gulf where the Austrians, having
filtered into the Piave delta, now seek
to cross both the Sile and the Piave,
the enemy each night hooks up pom
toons. At daybreak every morning one
end of a huge pontoon structure is an
chored to the east bank of the Piave
and the other flung tut to the strong
current, which soon stretches the make
shift bridge across. The moment this
happens the enemy infantry madly
dashes across. simultaneously the Ital-
ian floating batteries open a terrific
fire. Every morning so far the Austrians
have tried the trick-and every morn
ing they have failed to effect a crossing
with heavy losses.
Flooding Of the delta maroone thous-
ands of Italian families on island-like
patches and likewise cuts off SOME Aus
trian troops. The latter stick stubborn
to their strongholds, supplied by Aus
trian boats. Day after day these patches
of land are scenes Of fierce hand to
hand fighting when detachments on
either side try to drive the other off.

NO HOLIDAY TRUCE
ON WEST front Line
where SANNIES ARE
If Fritz POkes His Little
Christmas Trees Over Top
They Will Be RiddIed
By a united Press staff oOrrespOndent

By United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 17.-There will be
no holiday trench amenities between
Fritz and Sammy on the Amt rican front
this Christmas. Fritz may try it, but
he won t get far.
This came officially from the war
department today.
When Fritz pokes his seductive little
yuletide trees up over the trench top in
the American sector they will get the
same dose the Tommies and poilus gave
them last winter when they shot them to
pieces. as fast as they appeared.
There will be no American reply to
Fritz IS beloved greetings, either. When
he roars his gutterals across No Man s
Land the Sammies will let their guns
answer him.
With the picture of their first killed
and wounded fresh in his mind, it is
considered unlikely by war department
officials that the American Sammy will
so much as countenance lull in the fir
ing Christmas eve or Christmas Day.
With broad hints of 6 peace offer
trickling through from Amsterdam, it
is considered certain the boche will evi-
dence a desire to be friendly during
the holidays. But the only present Sam
my has for Fritz is a lot Of nice Christ
mas explosives which will not only be
delivered the Teuton via gun powder ex-
press, but also opened up and scattered
around among him lavishly. Sammy IS
only Christmas greeting to him will
be "fight" and all his Christmas Wis
its will be paid with the point Of his
bayonet preceding him.
Primarily" said the official dec
laration at the war department today,
"there is no spirit of fraternization
among our troops. They are there for
business, not pleasure.
"Then, too, our command in France is
in very close touch with the French.
They understand the situation thorough
ly and know precisely how to deal with
it.
eff it is found advisable to make it
clear to the American troops that no
tinge of comradship is to be shown in
the holiday fighting, General Pershing,
might issue general order, but it is
not believed this will be necessary"

INCREASED HERRING
 PACK PREDICTED

Arrivals from the Golovin section
 assert that the herring pack at that point will probably be the largest known. The fall run of fish Is satd to have been one of the best of years and all of the fishermen have been working
 at top speed during the past few
 weeks since the fish appeared along the coast
 Estimates based upon the quantity of fish caught up 10 week ago, made by Martin Strand, who himself ex-
 poets to pack something like five hun drcd barrels. indicate that the total catch will be considerably in excess of one thousand barrels. The run of fish at times was so great that 1t was
 impossible to handle them. Several
 fishermen are reported to have nearly
 lost their nets from the great pressure
 of the dense shoals of herring journey
 ing northward along the coast. Re- ports from Port Clarence indicate that the fall run of fish has been extensive
