Paris, T)ee. 5.-^-Gen. Sir. John French and hts British'forces made doubly memorable the official visit of King George to the trenches of his fighting forces today by a brilliant and dashing oITensrve in Which the Germans were driven back all along the British front from Dixmude to Lys. North of the Lys they sprang from their trenches at daybreak and fell pell mell upon the German first line earthworks, swarming , up and iinto it in the face of a terrific fire. 'They went down among the "Germans with cold steel and thrust, jabbed and beat down the helmetted occupants until they had cut them down <or dug them out. When the first ditch was chockablock with gouging, tearing khaki and > grey lighting, dying and dead, the oncoming rear rank swept over the top of the mass ami did not stop until the second line of entrenchments had j been taken. It was 500 metres from the British j position to the second line of trenches i and the British fought every inch of the way. They fought like demons. The Germans wore so stunned by the audacity of the attack aad the brilliance of its execution, that there was J no effort to rot rive their losses at this point. Unofficial accounts of the charge place the German losses at one-half of those engaged. The Brit! ish losses were heavy, but did not appreach the casualties of the enemy. The British also settle a dispute of a months standing by winning the "Battle of the Ferry House," which has been bitterlv contested, lirst by i the Belgians, then by the French. The position is to the cast of Poselc, on the right bank of the Yser. about half-way between TMxmude and Ypres on a mound which commands the house of the ferry keeper, or what is left of it for the structure has long since been shattered by shrapnel. The Austro-German union is being hammered both from the east and from the west and on its own soil. While the Russians are assailing East Prussia's borders and successfully penetrating Austrian territory, ! the French are carrying the fighting in greot force up to the outer works of Metz ^'hile menacing the country south of Strassburg with cannon and aerial bombardment. So advanced has become the fighting on the western front that the storm center of the battle no longer rests in France. The crucial engagements are being waged at the extreme limits of the line stretching from Switzerland's border to the Belgian coast. It is in Alasce and in Belgium that France is fighting her big fight. While the French war office is silent on its operations around Metz, Berlin admits that the Germans have been forced to defend their fortifications there against French attacks, which the German army headquarters state were repulsed.

Nerves of the Soldiers are Good and Spirits High.-?Supply Themselves From the Fields. A correspondent of the Associated Press in the field of operations has been the guest of Gen. Von. Heringcn formerly war minister and now com-1 manding the Seventh army; Gen. Yon Zwehl, who captured Klaubeuge, and Gen. Von Emmich, conqueror of Liege and Namur.

A QARBANZA KQVH SHOWS HIS UNRULY SPIRIT BY ANSWERING THE NOTE OF THE UMTED STATES WITH VEILED THREAT. TAKES NO BLAME For 1he Recent Firing Across th** Border at Naco,?Expresses Hope That Good Friendship Will Prevent Employment of Force. Vera Cruz, Dec. 12.?"If the United States employes force to stop the firing by Mexicans across the international boundry line at Naco, it will be considered an unfriendly act, notwithstanding the friendly motives cloaking the act." In this manner Carranza made answer in a statement to the Associated Press to the formal notice served by the United States on both Provisional President Gutierrez and Gen. Carranza that unless such firing ceased force would be employed to protect American territory. Carranza's reply to the American note, which is expected to reach Washington tomorrow, will repudiate responsibility for shots that have crossed the line and clearly set forth that he and his government will regard intervention at Naco as a hostile net. At no time since the receipt cf Secretary Bryan's note calling attention to the repeated wounding and killing of residents of the American town has Gen. Carranra appeared perturbed. but he has had long conferences with those close to him, and, in iv * * ... iranung ills reply i4 is said lie has been careful not to let himself stand in any uncertain light. Blames the Others. "Gen. Hill, constitutionalist commander of the forces at Naco, is on tl;e defensive," continued Gen. Carranza, "and since his back was to the line, it is difficult to see how he could be responsible for the firing. The fact is that Maytoren's men have been attacking and therefore it appears reasonably clear that they, and only they, could have been to blame. "As a matter of fact 1 do not know that the rights of American citizens have been violated. It seems to me that it would he well for the state department to investigate this oik stion in order to lix the responsibility. "I remember similar instances at El Paso, when the Madero forces were attacking there. In that case those shots were for the most part the imprudent and curious individuals who flocked to witness the fighting as if it had been a spectacular show staged for their benefit. Ca r ra n za ('o m pi a i as. "As to the use of force, of which Mr. Bryan talks, that is something the gravity of which I fear he docs not fullv annreciate. Ho It u-nnlJ not moan an invasion of our territory or a violation of our national sovereignity. It would. And moreover it would certainly be an act directly against the constitutionalists who now hold the town, and if in favor of the Villiasts, who would he left free to continue their operations. It would he simply tying Gen. HilL's hands and leaving Maytoren free.

SEABOARD ROBBERS (JET I SENTENCE OF A YE.Mtl Charlie Crosby and Evans Radcliftfl Were Tried in United States Court! :?t Charleston La?t Week on Charge! Thif Charlie Crosby and Evans' Crlclift. young white men of Columbia. pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon in the United States district court at i Charleston of robbing an express car and a mail car of a Seaboard train leaving Columbia last July was report ed in a communication received Wednesday. The charges alleged that these young men robbed the two cars of express packages in interstate shift ment and of registered mail. They were each given sentences of imprison nt for a yea1* and a day in the j federal prison in Atlanta, according to the dispatch. Chief of Police Richardson, of Co lumbia, and ex-Chief of Police Cath! cart, Charles Horn, traveling special agent of the Seaboard railway, and a number of express company officials it Columbia and in this division attondo 1 court and were present when the men admitted their guilt.. They will be carried to Atlanta ' within a few days and begin serving: their sentences a4 once, it was expected. according to the dispatches. The robbery, to which these men pleaded guilty, was one of the. most daring ever committed in Columbia, according to local police officials. The : police believed the robbers boarded the train at the Scabord station. While the train was slowly moving1 through a deep cut near the edge of the city they obtained a number of registered mail packages and some valuable records from the express car. The monetary v; lue of the express packages was said to be only about I $100. ! ^ No eT'.e to the identity of the robI hers was obtained by the police until several weeks after the holdup. Young Rude!ift wa.s arrested and was said to have told of his part in the crime, implicating his arcomplice. The arrest of Radclift was not made pub-; lie to newspaper representatives until the police, it was said, had located his accomplice. Several months after the arrests were made, some dogs excavated from a shallow hole in Newman's woods, i near Columbia, the express company's records and some other articles which had been taken by the robbers of the express and snail ca . PERKINS REMAINS INGLOOMY QUIET. Federal Prisoner, at Roper Hospital Kept in Partial Seclusion. I George Bachelor Perkins, indicted and arraigned for murder, one count for assault and 1 attery with intent to kill, who is to he tried at the Columbia 'term of United Statea district cou'-t, , I which convenes in Columbia during January, spends his time in his quarters at the Roper Hospital in Charles{ton very quietly. The cultured man, who finds himself j in the presence of such a startlingcrime, apparently committed by hi iself while in a state ef temporary dementia, remains gloomily quiet, according to report, and evinces gr? it grief from time t > time. He is Sc'd to have earnestly rei larked that e would give his own life gladly to r store that of Mr. F. W. R. Hinnif , who was killed on board the Mohn\ 1c when tho unfortunate fusilarie of N 1vombcr 11 occurred. Grief over the situation in vvhi h the Boston architect finds himself 1 alleged author, and an apparently u witting author, is evidently affectii x directly the very nervous state 1 which the prisoner remains from 01 ? cause and another. Atendcd by two doctors, Or Willia ? Henry Johnson, county physician, a Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr. Ids private p sician, the condition of Perkins closely watched and every effort * made to prevent the intrusion up his consciousness of any unneeessa nervous stimuli. The handling of the sensitively b: lanced, high strung artist is a delicr matter, and every effort is being ma i to build up his wasted nervous enerj i sulliciently to allow him to stand t strain of the ordeal which he nu perforce face during the Columl term of court. No one is allowed visit Perkins. In his quarters at f Roper hospital the prisoner is so only by his physicians, his counsel a* j his immediate relatives when they a here, and such yisits are made on in accordance with the advice of ti attendant doctors. Perkins will in all probability r man at the Roper hospital until tl date of his appearance in Columb He is watched ni^ht and day by de uty United States marchals.
