FRENCH ARE SENDING ARES ON RETAORY RAIDS ON CITIES OVER HUNDRED
MILES FROM THEIR FRONT
(Asodaed PsD

Although German military writer's
admit the Germans can hardly hope
to regain the initiative on the west
ern front, the Germans are doing
their utmost to KEEP the British from
enjoying the full advantages of their
victory in Flanders, launching attack
after attack to disarrange British
plans. They used the same tactics
before the British drive last week,
but failed then. 1t is too early to as
certain what effect these efforts have
had but General Haig reports five
violent attacks in themselves result
ed in failure for the Teutons, with
maps showing the entire German line
in Flanders hanging in the balance.
There is no surprise expressed at
the Germans fighting desperately to
hold the important Lille-Ostend rail-
road.
While the British press demands
reprisals for air raids, the French are
taking retaliatory action, and bonn
barded German cities from 100 to 125
miles back of the lines.

General Funston Says Regular Forces
Are# Sufficient TO Protect Border.
I Columbus, N. M, Jan. 1s.-Major-
General Frederick Funston, on his
return yesterday from a visit to the
punitive expedition. in Mexico, ex-
pressed the opinion that the menace
of border raids by Mexican rebels
and bandits had been reduced to such
an extent that the regular forces
now were sufficient for protective
purposes.
''Our frontier is pretty well cleaned
up now" said General Funston, "and
for the present We do not. look for
any more raids across our line. In
the event of withdrawal, we shall
have sufficient regulars to forestall
any hostile attempt OF course, it
would be pure speculation to say
there will be no more raids. So, al
though we do not look for any, we
will be nevertheless prepared"
The General will review the troops
here tomorrow and then return to
San Antonio, stopping off at FL
Paso.

from the uniforms, the newness Of the

is suggestive, in some instances, Of the

trained off twenty five pounds OF
weight and felt twice as strong, physi
cally, as he has in twenty five years.
While he has been medical college

hygiene for many years, he told me
that he had learned that he has been
wrong in thinking that physical train
ing and exercise would not be good for
him. When he went into the army he
had weak and painful feet and fire.

He thought the rigid physical training
would break him up entirely. Instead,
he states that he has no trouble with
his feet, legs, Or back any more, not
withstanding the fact that he is on his
feet practically all day long. He gives
the sensible and scientifically shaped
army shoes part of the credit.
If this war does not last long, and
does not cost too many lives, it is going
to teach us a number of life saving
