Including 200 officers, and are still arriving. The total count already is 7,500. One division alone captured more than 1,200 Germans within an hour. More than eighty cannon were captured or destroyed. The villages of Vacherauvllle, IUvemont and Itesonvaux and Hardau-monWood now are in French hands, The front was ten kllometera long When the fighting ceased, owing to the darkness, the French advance had exceeded an average of three kilome ters along the whole front, at varlou nolnts rushing further out.

"A conference will be held at me HuEue about January 15. While the conference Is in session, all the bellig erents will be allowed to continue military operations." The Frankfurter Zeltung continues: "Germany must try to prevent the entente from giving an evasive answer. We expect a wide cleavage of views at the outset of the negotiations, but great apparent divergence of opinion will have less significance when the oral exDlanatlong are offered. The standpoints of both parties are al ready partly identical as regards the ceneral fundamental alms of the war. and the German note must be under stood aa meaning that part of the German nronosala refer to the lishment of international conventions for the avoidance of International conflicts and guarantees of international peace." Referring to the nosslblllty of al- levlting the burden of armaments the Zeltung expresses the belief that an agreement to this effect is possible. owing to the sufferings caused uy war. and adds: "Hut Germany must not be aaked to precede the others In reducing her forces. Moreover, Germany docs not. believe in abrogating general mili tary service, although there are many objections against such. It would be abrogated If there were a common or ganization of nations In which Germany would have an important place." I Not Operations In Event to t Utah May Win Pennant. Salt Lake City.
