The Austrians again have been driven out of the greater part of Ga licia and according to a Vienna state ment, the Kassians have crossed the Carpathians for the third time, but in Poland, where a more iraonrtant bat tle is in progress, the armies of the Russian and German emperors are still fighting for Jhe banka of tho riv erH which Inersect the country be tween the upper Vistula and Plliea rivers.

The French tonighjt announced that they have carried half of tho village of Stein bach, in roper Alsace, which, while of little or no importance itself, stands nt the foot of a hill which commands a large part ot the surrounding coun try. It is in this region, as in the vi cinity of Noyon and between the Ar gonne ridge and tho Mouse, that the French have been pushing their of fensive with the greatest force and where 4bey eiaim TO have made tue; most, progress. Along thc Belgian coast fighting-ls confined to artillery bombardments. Westende and many other little towns which long ago Were desert )d by the civilian populations, have.been made the target for shells of the Allies. Walfish Bay, a British possession on tho coast of German Southwest Afri ca, which Gie Germans took at the commencement of the war, has been retaken by .Union, of South Africa forces, while the Australians have ? annexed Bougainville Island, another) nf -the Solomon Islands over which flew the German flag and about the, Inst of the German islands in the Pa-, cine. In London, New Year's eve was eel-1 curated by Gie usual dinners and i dances at hotels and restaurants, but I wIth less gaiety and on a much small er scale. At Gio larger hotels, how ever, there was a large attendance of officers on leave or walting to go 'to the front,' many French add Belgians who were driven from their bomen by the war and a large humber of Amer icans.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-(l:45\?. ni.) The Times welcomes the text ot the | American protest against detention of American commerce by British war ships, which, it says, displays entire justice and friendliness. "Tho president and his colleagues," the Times says, "have been at patna to inslnit in several passages of the not ethat they do not advance their claims in any spirit of hostility to us, from any lack of appreciation of the momentous nature of the conflict in which we are engaged or from any wish to gain undue commercial ad vantage' at our expense.
