Paris, , Dec. 8.-- Yesterday witnessed fighting on practically all parts of the mile battle line from the North Sea to Alsace, with the greatest activity near the opposite ends of the line. In Alsace the French troops tured the village of Aspach east of Thann. The Germans in the Argonne, however, blew up with a mine part of the outer fortification of the wood of La Grubte. The Germans, still clinging ciously to the hope of forcing a way through to Dunkirk and ( alais, appear to have redoubled their of forts, and the day's gladed a violent bombardment of -ampernisse, about five miles west of Dixmude and almost on a line be tween that town and Dunkirk.
