The French official statement gicn out today concedes the lo-ing of cettain trenches to the Germans, but other wise claims advances for the forces of the republic. Advances have been made in Bel gium and near Lour, the French pro srevud SOU yards. Near the Mciwe there has been slight progress and a German attack in upper Alsace was driven back. The French lost trenches to the Germans near Ypres. The text of the communication fol fel fol eows: "In Belgium wc have continual to advance. To the west of Lombnert y.yde wc are actually nt the foot of tho sand dunes on which the enemy has established his line of resistance.

The American relief committee today renewed tho Jense for its present of fices for a eriod of six mouths. The demands on the committeo continue to be heavy and it till has so much to do that it is not poiiblo to move tin offices to tho American embassy. The average nitmbor of Americans assisted bv the committee weekly is now about twenty-five. These reached London chielly from the con tinttiit. Furthermore, unsettled ship ping conditions leave many American seamen stranded in England, and the committee offices nre crowded every day with Americans seeking pass ports. Of the $300,000 appropriated by (he United States some months ago to assist Americans stranded in Eu rope on nccount of tho war, there remains today about 100,000.

EAGLE POINT EAGLETS By A. C. llowlclt. In inv last l omitted to state Hint there was quite a number of our cit izens went fitim the surrounding country to Medford to attend the fu neral of Mrs. Clarn Under last Tues day. Mrs. Under lived in this im mediate neighbothood while she wits raising her family, and loaves n long list of lriends with whom she usm ciatcd in her younger day. I nNo wih to acknowledge the ie ceipt of itionev from W. II. Cruudnll of Kaglo Point, II. ( Barker of Hrowiisboro and T. C. Diiggiin of Eagle Point since mv last. I nlso omitted to state that Mrs. Henry Meyer of Lake Creek, who has been in the hospital in Mod foul nnd hud an operation performed, was brought out here on Sunday, the 20th. re mained here until Tuesday nnd then went on up home and at last ac counts she was getting along quite well. Our teacher nnd the friends of our school hud utt eiiteitaimueut in the opera hou'-e lat Wednesday eve and in connection had a Christum tree. The exercises wero not very elabo rate, some of the children took part in the cxeroie and they had some good vocal and instrumental music, but the most interesting pint of the program was the distribution of the present". A suck of candy and nuts for each child ami a number of pres ents to the favored few. At the same time the citizens of the Hecse Creek ehool district had a ClirNtmnH treo entertainment nnd my informants, one the young men boarding with us romrt thnt they had one of the most enjoyable time they have hud in that section for u long time. They don't do thing by halves out there, but i'o for it bv the wholesale, and thov mnde their candy sacks large enough to hold about n quart of candv and nut mid mi orungc cmdi, and each person received a sack besides u quantity of other things-, hi fact, he said that the tree vvim ninplv load ed, and a hi:; lot 'arkrd on the floor, so of course thev hud a tine time. But I heard one of our lending think ing men from the country comment ing on our Christmas tree: that he did not like our MVhtciu of holding such festivities, for he aid while the most of the children will enjoy it, especially those wlioso parents and friends nre able ami willing to pur chase tho presents for their children, there nre nlways some of the little folks whoe hearts nehe when they sec their little associates or neigh bors receive nice present, such ns a nice doll for t little girl or u trinket for n lit I lc boy, and thev have to go home with feelings of disappointment to think of their -ml condition. And perhaps there is at least grounds for thought on thin subject. Mrs. George Weeks nnd four chil dren of Trail came out Wednesday to viit her mother, Mrs. Lebo, sstud ing Christians with the family. Sam Coy and W. II. Isbell, who live on Ueee 'creel:, were here for dinner Thursday ami while hero 1 asked them to snljerilie for the Mml Tribune, ns I did not sec their names on the list, but they both told mo that they read that paper, ns Mr. Coy lives with W. E. Ilatumel and so bus it firnt hand, and Mr. Isbell said that he had been cutting wood for .Mr. Hummel for the last year, and so he got the Mail Tribune through Mr. II., so 1 failed to get my game that time.
