that the enemy will allow matters to
remain as they are now.
The situation, therefore, is still one
that cannot be dismissed lightly, it
vew of the heavy concentration of
guns and troops which Won Hidden
burg has brought to.bear.on this line.
There has been no change in the
respective positions of the opposing
forces since last night. Exhaustion
and the necessity of reorganizing his
depleted ranks have undoubtedly
forced the enemy to pause for a
breathing spell.
Playing for Bigger Stakes.
The ground won by the Germans
yesterday could in no wise compen-
safe for the shambles caused BY Won
Hindcnburg's disregard for the lives
of his men. But it must be borne in
mind that he was playing for vastly
bigger stakes than have yet been
won. In his latest attacks there were
undoubtedly tremendous efforts to
break thru with great possibilities of
drive out into the open, such as he
engineered in Italy.
The situation today was much easi-
er for the British. Yesterday was ad-
mitedly rather anxious one, but
abundant reinforcements arrived.
The checking of the Germans inccs-
SAINT massed attacks was due only to
the gallantry of the British soldiers,
who did not yield before fierce as
saults by greatly superior numbers.
In their stupendous efforts against
La Vacquerie the Germans swept for
ward in dense waves with absolutely
no concealment and were slaughter
ed. During the afternoon they de-
livered very heavy attack also west
of Masnieres and succeeded in smash
ing thru the British line, but an i'm
mediate counter attack forced them
to fall back.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
PLAYED BY HIGH school,

The Merchant Of Venice was play
ed last Friday night to crowded and
delighted house in the school audi
torium.
For several weeks rchearsals and,
other preparations for this play had
been in progress under the direction
of Prof. Claude M Melton, instruct
or in English. To attempt such seri-
GUS work for his first effort seemed
bit daring, but the result proved that
Professor Melton knew his students
and what they could do.
Every boy and girl in the play de-
serves special mention and a pat on
the back for conscientious effort
well performed
Professor Melton proved himself
a finished actor as we'll as instructor
in English and expression. Among
the pupils the work of Rudolph Hur-
sey, as Shylock; Dan Laney, as An
NiooiSy ,
Miss Dorothy Lucas, as Portia was
especially pleasing.
The costuming was well done.
There was evidence here of expense
and painstaking effort.
The scenery was truly Skakespear-
can, when a tree or two was intro
duced to indicate grove or woods.
The beauty of the lines are thus
brought out more clearly when there
is no wealth of scenery to detract.
This review would indeed be un-

Germans Make Slight Gains At
At Enormous Sacrifice of Men

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 4.-That Field Marshal Haig
prevented the Germans breaking thru
his lines on the Cambria front dis
counts the small gains which the en-.
emy hosts achieved yesterday at ter
rible cost in life. 1t means that yes
terday's critical period has been sue
cessfully passed and for the second
time in four days Field Marshal Haig
thwarted what is believed to have
been German attempt to duplicate
the German-Autro-H Hungarian per
formance in Italy.
The Extreme Gain.
Germans were collected from the
eastern theater and various parts of
the German lines in the west. At La
Vacquerie the enemy fought his way
thru the town and one party PEN
etrated for some hundred yards into
British territory. This was tho ex-
treme gain.
The British commander voluntarily
pulled back his lines to the west and
southwest Of Masnieres to make it
firmer. This mornih" the British
line was near the western part of
Marcoing cops, but Included Marco
ing; small triangular piece of ter
ritory, therefore, has been sacrificed
by the British.
A heavy concentration of German
guns east of Gonnelieu suffered
greatly by the excellent British coun-
ter battery work. The battle proba-
bly, has not yet run it's course, but
the defenders will be in much better
shape to handle the cituation.
Likely to Attack Again.
The Germans up to noon today had
not renewed their attempt of yester-
day to smash the British front south
of Marcoing, but it seems improbable

COOT STANLEY AND
"SHINE" IN THE JUG

Cott Stanley and "Shine," the
boot-black are in the County iail
charged with theft and are under
suspicion of knowing something of
the cause of the big fire in Chester
hcld some weeks ago.
Coot has a bad record for house
breaking and stealing and when a
large quantity of cigars and other
items, that corresponded to the Ches-
terheld Drug Co: stock were found
n the woods not far from Coot's
h'me by Mr.. r. f. Rivers, suspicion
pointed toward Coot.
Chief Melton and other officers i'm
mediately started to search the pre-
mises of Coot, who, also immediately
started to scoot.
He got away but was captured

Douglass bringing him home.

HUN BLOWS CEASE
ON ITALIAN FRONT

Washington, Dec. Am official
dispatch from Rome today says Aus
tro-German attacks on the Italian
front have ceased entirely.
Altho the Teutonic invasion was
launched under rain and snow, the
German press explains the sudden in
activity as due to unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions. The truth is, ac-
cording to the Dispatch, that the Ital-
an army reorganized after the crisis
and is now holding the line.
Another offensive by the enemy. on
a still larger scale, is believed to be
imminent however, and the Italians
are preparing to meet it,
"The enemy has tried to break
thru our line at every point" says
the message. 1t appears clearly now
that the Boreovic division hoped to
push the Italians beyond the Piavc by
systematic violent attacks, which
were regularly repuIsed.
Staggering Losses
Later Gen. Conrad tried 20 make
the most of the advantages gained on
the AsiaGo plateau, while our troops
were retreating to our lire of resist
ance, but when the Austro-Gcrmans
attempted to break our defensive bar
rler at Meletta and Maenaboschi,
they suffered staggering losses with
out gaining any ground. Numerous
divisions were sent out in vain as
sauits against the positions desperate
~ defended by our soldiers. Italian
aVlators have reported continual
transfer of Austrian troops from the
piainS to the mountains to Gil up the
gaps IN their decirnated ranks. The
enemy IS very actively preparing an
elaborate defensive system.
IL is believed the recommencement
oi the offensive on large scale is
imminent. 1t is expected that Gen
conrad will strike in the direction Of
'icenzea, aiming at an encircling
movement against the fourth and first
itaian army corps. Such alternate
piows on the right, left and center
leeaii the method against Verdun.
