Snow and Ice Hold
British Front in Grip
TBy Tho Associated Press1

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Jan. 6.--Freezing tempera
tures continue to hold the British front
in an icy grip. Many of the roads are
impossible to motor cars owing to
snowdrifts, and the fighting neces-
sarily is desultory owing to the weather
conditions. The Germans, however, are
exceedingly active, carrying out raids
on various parts Of the line.
Their exploit Of yesterday morning
cast of Bullechourt, in which they capt
rred an advance British post, resulted
IN heavy loss Of life to the attacking
troops.
There has been considerable activity
IN the air and also continual wrangling
estween the big guns as a reminder
that the war has not been finished.
aside from this, however, compare
tive quiet prevails.
The Germans are industriously con-
Quoting changes in their back areas,
which lends support to the general i'm
PRESTON that they intend to attempt
offensive operations unless peace is
concluded shortly.

Cowboy Charley Stands, former

a no-decisiOn, bout because the

comply with the war camp commun-
