London, Dec. 23, 10.15 p. m.—Hart- manns-Weilerkopf, the summit of which the Germans claim to have re- taken together with over 1,500 prison- ers, is the only point of first class ac- tivity on the western front while on the eastern fighting lines there has been little evidence of any disturb- ance in the Christmas lull in the past 24 hours. i Thére have been some clashes in Galicia, with minor successes on Loth sides and the Russian forces in Persi are fighting miles from Teher: But the I maintair n. 1kan theater a place of first importance in the war news despite the fact that there has been no severe fighting for several days.

The Turkish official communication today refers to “the morthern front,” this being the first reference of the kind.
