While those who adopted French
nationality have escaped all German
influences, the younger generation or
the German side OF the frontier has
unquestionably become more indiffer-
ent to the mother country. The re.
suit is a situation which is illustrated
by the foregoing incident.
Fighting AroGnd Thanh.
The material sufferings OF Alsace,
from the Vosges to the Valley of the
Rhine, resulting from the alternate
occupation by Germans and French,
have been briefly related in dispatch
es. The fighting around Thanh was
particularly severe; all the way down
The valley Of the Thur, along Is miles
of alternating ridges and gulleys, ev-
cry inch of ground was stubbornly
contested; the possession of it PROV
ed to be costly for both sides. The
French are now installed here for the
second time since August 10. They
had pushed as far as Colmar about
the time Of the taking Of MuelhauseE,
but were forced back again when the
occupying forces were weakened to
reinforce the armies in the north.
The Germans recaptured Cernay, anG
then began a systematic, incessant
bombardment Of this ancient town.
In We months $50 siX-inch shells
have been thrown into Thanh and
300 into the vineyards to the north
Sixty houses have been entirely de-
stroyed and many others partially de-
molished. Many of the streets are
blocked by the debris of crumbling
houses. Yet the inhabitants have
stuck to the town, occupying them
selves, with the aid of the French
soldiers, in restoring such houses as
it is possible to repair. The cathe-
dral of Saint Thecbault-a' real jewel
Of architecture with some famous
stained glass of the 18th century,
has thus far escaped damage, though
a dozen shells have fallen near it.
An Heroic Feat.
1t was a little to the northwest OF
Thanh, up the valley of the Thur, tina;
the Second battalion of chasseurs-a.

of the heroic feats of the war The
story of it is told by Leon Genton, a
veteran of the Moroccan campaign,
with V medals pinned on his
breast, who engaged as a volunteer at
the outbreak of the war.
The Germans had taken Blamont
and B%adonviller, and when. the chas-i
seurs came through it was to hear the
story of the shooting of the mayors
of both these towns. The 18th chas-
seurs from Luneville had already
chased them from these positions ana

pursuit down the valley. 1t vas at

One of the 6-inch shells that the
Germans were sending from Cernay
over the Engelburg into this old All
satan town crashed through the ROOF
Of a modest dwelling on the bank o.

shot up through the hole and a clott'
of dust and smoke poured into the
street through a big hole in the front
wall. The neighbors brought out a
woman covered with dust, stained red

100000 MEN THROWN
AGAINST ALLIED LINE

Paris, Dec. EVERY a~blebodied
German In Belgium that can be
spared from garrison duty is on the
fighting line between Ypres and the
coast.
A report received here declared
that In the lall following the past
week Belgian towns back of the lines
were emptied to the last man that
could be spared in the maintenance of
order.
A fierce attack Is said to have been
directed against the allied lines be.
tween Ypres and the Lys. More than
100000 Germans are massed for this
assault.
The rush OF r~einforcements TO the
northern line to the amount of 100000
Is believed to be due to a fear of an
attack from the French and British.
In case OF a German retreat being or.
dered heavy forces would be needed

er the Germans In their withdrawal to

All the Belgian Notifications Have
Been Repaired BY the
Germans.

Amsterdam, Dec. mo better IL
lustration can be given of the far
sightedness and thoroughness of the
German military machine than the
elaborate rebuilding operations in
course of completion at Liege. In
the comparatively short time since it's
forts were wrecked by the invaders
artillery, Liege has been rebuilt into
a model German fortress, and Is to
be used as an object lesson for stu
dents in the German military schools.
1t is built as though the Germans ex-
pect to stay.
All the Belgian forts have been re-
paired with a single exception; much
of the old artillery has been replaced
with Krupp fortress cannon of the
latest type, and even the landscape
has been remodeled with a view to
defense. All the newest ideas of
German and Austrian military ex-
perts have been embodied in the
placing of ordnance, in the erection
of %ramparts, in trenches, observation
places, highway mines, secondary
batteries and blockhouses.
There is an intricate system of
connecting works between the vari-
Gus main points of the outlying de-
lenses. Great attention has been
paid to the use of villages and forests
Tor ~concealing Notifications. The
trenches are fiat with the ground so
as to be visible only from above, and
are protected with concealed barbed
wire entanglements. The trenches
are drained and partially covered for
protection against rain and snow,
while the width is ample enough to
allow carriage of stores and ammu-
milton without interference with the
troops.
A considerable part of the hard
labor involved in completing the
trenches is done with a military
traction trench digger" which cuts
a furrow about three feet wide and
three feet deep.
Most of the old Belgian forts have
been remodeled; some have been
raised, some lowered, with a view TO
greater efficiency of shell fire or TO
increasing the sweep OF country
which their guns can command.
There are several false batteries
cleverly constructed to attract aero
plane or cavalry attack.
The town is dull and quiet. All
shops and cafes are required TO close
at 8 o'clock in the evening. Newspa-
pers are at a heavy premium.
