LONDON, Jan. 1. Batllct of consider
able proportion are taking plaue alone;
the two long , fronts In eastern and In
wtem Europe. .
The fighting In Flanders and northern
Franca haa been confined largely to ar
tillery encasements, except near Bethune.
whre the Germans claim they have
taken a ' British trennh. They , admit.
however, the lorn of ft. Cleorrpa, near
the Belgian coast, which the official re--port
from Bnrlln says It was decided not
fa attempt to retake, owing to the high
level of the water there.
fte.rssa.na Make Proarress.
In the Argonne region, where the bat
tle haabeea almost continuous for weeks.
It haa been' the Germans' turn to make
a, little, progress, as an offset to which,
however, the French declare they have
continued their advance In upper Alsace.
On the whole, the situation seoins vir
tually to have reached a position Of
ataJAment. Neither side has been able
to make any great Impression on their
antagonists Una, and both being very
stroagly entrenched, tt is considered un
likely that either the Germans or allies
Will ' attempt another general offensive
until superiority In numbers Is retained
by 'reinforcements. ...
Cut Cross Rivera.
Much the same situation prevails ' in
northern Poland,' where the Germans are
reported to have, found It impossible to
get across the Bsura and Rawka' rivers
and : have . been i equally unsuccessful In
advancing along the Fillca river. They
are said to be digging themselves ' In,
preparatory to remaining until the hard
ening of the grdund by the frost makes
the .movement of troops leas difficult
' The growth of the British, army is
shown by an army order .Issued tonight
constituting six armies of throe; corps
each Thus, several generals who com
manded army eorpeat the beginning of
'the .war now find .' themselves at" the
heads of armies.

fund now totals (,000.000 francs, he raid,
three-fourths of which - is Invested . in
Palestinian farm . lands. The total. Jew
ish population of that '.country, he said,
is about 120,000, though there is room for
more than 1,000,000. people. ,
