ARTILLERY FIGHTING

ON WESTERN FRONT

BERLIN, Dec. 18-Via Sayville_

wireless--To-day's statement by army_ headquarters regarding operations on the Franco-Belgian front is as fol-' lows:-

"Western front:-Aside from artil-

lery fire in the Somme and Mouse sec- tors, which was temporarily livslie-, and the nightly clashes of patrols, there have been no important activ- ities of any -of the armies.” The statement regarding the Rus-_

sian front reads: "Eastern front-_

Front, of Prince Leopold: There is nothing important to report.

(Special to the Guardian.)

LONDON, Dec. 13- A Walr Office

communication issued tonight says: A hostile patrol that endeavored to enter our trenches last night east of Armentlerres were driven oft. There was atlllery activity throughout the dayg . At different points along the front we carried out a bombardment of the enetmy's trenches in the neigh- borhood of Festubert, Neuve Cha- pelle and Ypres.

GERMAN PEACE PROPOSALS

The German peace proposition has

made little apparent progress in winning a favorable _British senti- ment during the first -twenty'-four hours in' the discussion on the sub- ject by the press. Generally the trend of this decision continues highly cri- tical but there is some indication' that the first impulse of irritation will be' succeeded by calmer and more conservative view in some influential political quarters. This disposition not to; hastilly refuse to listen to the peace propoail is reflected in the Westminster Gazette, usually classed as,a liberal journal favor- able .to e'x-Premier Asquith. lt urges that the German peace move calls for a high degree of Bri-tish statesman- ship, and constructive pollcy._Mean'~ time no authoritative' expression has cofnie- from the new Government throgh the press which usually re- flects the views of leading members. Up to a late hour this evening the Foreign Oflice' had not received the German proposed and was unaware whether definite terms' had been pre- sented.

By spirited rear-guard actions along

the road from Ploechti to Buzeu they succeeded in delaying General Von Falkenhayn’s advance long enough to defeat the flanking movement which, if successful, would have closed the way to Moldavia and resulted in the capture of a large part of the army.

At present the way'to Moldavia is

still open, and the Roumanians pre- senting an unbroken front, have the opportunity of retreating in good or- der, without danger of encirclement.
