Germans on Offensive. Military authorities declare it is be coming more and more apparent that the Germans were putting great de pendence on the success of the ad vance through northern Poland, which was attempted - by General Francois. This movement was repulsed, and the Russians have been able to maintain their entire strength west of Warsaw without being In danger of attack from the northeast as was -planned by von Hindenberg in the advance from Mlawa. The German positions along the Bzura and Rawa, from a defensive standpoint, are nearly as strong as thoBe decupled by the Russians on the eastern banks. It is realized that they - could be dislodged only after bitter and costly -fighting and-, the prospects are that Russian offensive operations will certainly be delayed until a decision is reached in the attack along the Pllica.

Blessed is the child who contributed to the Christ mas ship. To him or her are sent Christmas greetings from the orphan of the terrible European war across land- and sea, across mountain and plain. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear to you, children of America! This is the fervent hope, not only of the orphans and widows and the suf fering men who have directly felt the blow of the war. but of all the people :nvolved In- the strife. . It is extraordinary, the outpouring of soul which Is being witnessed In war torn Europe. It is response to the tactical sympathy whereof they, have been the beneficiaries.
