Qnvite Your ALLIES MAKE PREPARATION FOR ATTACK TAKE INITIATIVE AT VARIOUS POINTS AND BOMB CITY OF MANNHEIM AFTER AERO PLANE FIGHT. Increased cannonading in the reg ion of Verdun, especially around Douaumont, the Chaume wood and the Caurieres wood, where a year ago, were the theaters of some of the fiercest encounters in the war, in dicates apparently the intention of the Germans to keep the French forces in this sector well occupied or might even mean a renewed ef fort to break through at this vital point. The allies, however, are evidently making ready for an untoward event and have taken the initiative in other directions. A British air squadron has successfully bombed the city of Mannheim, the great Rhine commercial center and one of the most important bases for the revictualling of the Germans on the western front. Numbers of fires were started in this city, a ton of bombs being dropped. The British squadron had numerous combats with the German airplanes in this expedition and one of the British machines was forced to make a landing. Moderate Artillery Work. Paris, Dec. 25. The ofScial com munication issued tonight says: "There was moderate artillery ac tivity over the greater part of the front, quite spirited on the right bank of the Meuse. South of Juvin court we raided the enemy lines and brought back prisoners." Belgian communications: "In the course of the last two days we have bombarded Schoor, Lekke and the road to Schoorbecke, in retaliation for the use by the enemy of poison gas shells directed against Rams capelle. There was artillery action in the region of Bixschetoote. Last night enemy prisoners were taken in the region of Merckem." No Fraternizing. British Army Headquarters in France, Dec. 25. Christmas .day was bright and cold on the battle front, but there were no demonstra tive celebrations. Also there was no fraternizing with the Germans as hapened on the first and even on the second Christmas of the war. The German methods of warfare have wholly destroyed any tendencies of that sort among the Britons. The British guns have been active during the last few days. Yester day they achieved considerable con centration on the enemy in front of Bccklaere and inflicted many cas ualties. Haig Sends Christmas Greetings. London, Dec. 25. Field. Marshal Haig, according to the official an nouncemetn today sent Christmas messages to the various allied com manders. The following message went to General Pershing, command er of the American expeditionary forces: "From all ranks of the British armies in France I send our best wishes for Christmas and the new year to our comrades of the Ameri can expeditionary forces.
