Patrols Crawl in Mud

Paris, Jan. 8.

"There is nothing of importance io report" says the latest French war communique. f Rain and mists are general over the French front and there has been almost complete calm all along the line for the past 24 hours. Air activity has been practically nil, though a lone German plane made à reconnaissance flight over eastern France. Ground patrols are active as usual, crawling along in mud and rain, particularly in the West Vosges.—Reuter.
