COMMISSION Elevated Company Has Broken Kaiser's Troops Are Attempting by drawal of the French from Al- sace—Paris Also Reports Gains. LONDON, Jan. 2.—Reports from both Paris and Berlin show a re- fewed German drive against the French in the Argonne region and between the Moselle and the Meuse. There conflicting reports as to the result of the fighting, but partial admission of a loss in the famed forest is made im the French report, which says that some of the ground lost there’has been regained. The Berlin report says that the Germans hold all of the famed forest. ‘Thousands of reinforcements have been brought up and a general of- +, fensive has been attempted, for the p se of forcing a withdrawal in * Alsace, where the Germans are being strongly pressed. The Germans have been unable to make any distinct gains. BERLIN (by wireless to London), Jan. 2 [Associated Press}. —The sta@ says: “In the western theatre the enemy's attacks against our post- tions in and near the dunes at Nieuport were repulsed. “In the Argonne region ye made further progress all along the front. “Fierce French attacks to the north of Verdun, and also against the front on the line of Ailly-Apremont, north of Commercy, were repulsed with heavy losses to the French. Thirty-three officers and one hundred men were taken prisoners by us. On this occasion we succeeded in taking the entire Bois Brules (burned forest), for which we have been fighting so stubbornly. (According to the report from the Paris War Office to-day, the French have reoccumed part of the ae ground and are holding their position) “Less important engagements southwest of Saarburg had the de- sired result. “Lately the French have systematically bombarded the villages situated behind our front. They succeeded in killing 50 inmates of one of the shelters of one of our divisions, “The French official reports state that the French are making progress step by step in the village of Steinbach (Alsace). Not a house has been lost by us in Steinbach, All the French attacks on this village have been repulsed. (Un the French official report on Wednesday the claim was made that one-half the village of Steinbach had been taken, The Berlin report of the same day said the French artillery had destroyed some of the houses, but that the Germans atill held the town, Paris today says the French have taken three new lines of houses.) “It is reported from the eastern theatre that the situation on the East Prussian frontier is unchanged. “Bast of the Baura and the Rawka branches of the Vistula River our attacks have progressed under somewhat more favorable weather conditions. “In Poland, to the east of the Pillca River, there have been no changes in the situation.” ewe In Hard Hand-to-Hand Fightin PARIS, Jan, 2 (Associated Press),—The French official statement on the progress of the war, given out this afternoon, recites 4 series of en- (Continued on Second Page.) — ADVERTISERS KNOW WHERE TO ADVERTISE! 1,275,790 Separate Advertisements Were Printed Last Year in ere GM satorio §81,998 MORE THAN IN THE HERALD ‘The Only New York Newspaper That Prints Even Hall as Many Ads a» The World!
