To send good thoughts o'er many n

L
PA IMS, Dec. '2S, 1:3!) p. nt. 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.
At n point south of Ypres wo have
lo"5t a section of the trenches of llol
lebcke. In the region of I.ens, near Cnr
ency the enemy yielded under our nt
taeks 800 yards of first lino trenches.
"In- tho valley of the river ANne
and in Champagne there hns been in
termittent nrtillery fighting which
was particularly severe in the vicin
ity of Uheinis and around Perthe.
Heto the enemy directed their nrtil
lery ftro ospeeiall" against tho posi
tions to tho west of Perthes, con
quered and occupied this.
"On the heights there ha been
slicht progress by our troops along
the entire front.
"In tho Yoges the enemy bom
barded the railroad station nt St. Die,
but the railroad service has not been
interrupted.
"In upper Alsncc, to the northeast
of Stcinbneh, a counter attack of tlnr
Germans was repulsed."
AMERICAN RELIEF
RENEWS IIS LEASE
LONDON, Dec. 28, 2:07 p. m.
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. I might sav in this connection
that Mr. Ilammel has gone back to
Missouri on business.
