the French strategical position is bet

Germans Moved Too Rapidly.
Paris, Sept 9.-The Germans prog
ress seems to have been too rapid and
too precipitate in its eagerness to get
to the gates Of Paris for they arrived
out of breath and to all appearances out
of ammunition. which may explain
why they did not pursue their original
plan.
All prisoners, Of whom 800 or more
have arrived in Paris appear fatigued
and harassed. and the spirit of the
army seems to be everything that is
different from the conquerors who
pushed back the army of defense from
the frontier and reached the gates OF
the capital in ten days.
Whether they hoped to gain time by
a tangent movement away from Paris,
or, as some military critics suppose,
army Of the crown prince which was
to come from the direction Of Longwy
the developments of the last four days
prove th--t it was a grave error. The
army; already weakened by forced
marches, constant fighting enroute and
now further enfeebled by the engage
ments OF the last four days, IL not, in
the opinion Of experts, prepared for
such big enterprise as the siege Of
Paris, even If it retrieve its fortunes in
the battle now in progress The only
hope OF the Germans lies in the armies
on the northeastern frontier coming to
the rescue, and this hope now seems
too long deferred.
Men Needed to Fight Russians.
Basic, Switzerland, Sept. Sit is re-
ported here that the Germans have
evacuated Upper Alsace because of the
necessity Of utilizing every available
man in the lighting in East Prussia.
A Basic dispatch to the United Press
on September 2 stated that five army
corps. which had been operating in
Upper Alsacs, had been withdrawn for
service on the eastern frontier. At
that time it was stated that only 90. 900
men had been left behind to man the
fortress OF Belfort. -Today's advices
would indicate that this last force has
been withdrawn and that the French
can reoccupy Algkerch and Mulhausen.
