PARIS, Dec. 28.—-The artillery
duel now progressing in the Vosges
is unsurpassed for violence since,
the war began. Backed by enorm
ous concentration of troops which
however have not stirred an inch
since the violent bombardment be
gan, the Germans are subjecting,
every French position from Thann
to Roan to a terrific artillery fire
which the French are answering
with unbated vigor.
Although the most difficult of all
positions to advance in, the German
concentration is giving rise to the
belief that they will endeavor to
drive through the VosgeB.
The Vosges are covered with -
