sumes that the Prussian aim is to secure
possession Of the south bank of the Larenteu
river and that the attack on Wiessenburg
was in pursuance of determination TO

the Prussaus an excellent position CON-
msnding the great PLAIN between
Vssg and the mountains of the Rhine, and
forms a base for operations In the vicinity
of Strssburg. The advance of the Prussian
