to penetrate the very walls of the city

Basic. Switzerland, Aug. l3.--In the
engagements between Altkrch and
Mllhausen the French infantry got
out of hand and impetuously. stormed
the intrenched German positions, ad-
varcing over open ground without TAX
ing anv kind of precautions.
The French officers were unable 70
restrain the excessive zeal OF their
.ren. and the losses of this force were
very heavy. about thirteen hundred OF q
total force OF sixteen hundred. Some OF
the French soldiers who were for some
reason without rifles, determined, not
"a be left behind in the attack, and ran
unarmod with their comrades.
THE same extraordinary enthusiasm,
Stimulating the French troops TO deeds
az suDerhuman courage, IS reported all
along the lines facing the German IN
vaders.
Although both the French and Ger
man military authorities have MINI
mjzed the losses incurred in the tight
ing about MuIhausen, the events oc-
curing here tell very different tale.
Not only is every hospital full OF
French and German wounded, but
every other public building, and even
churches. hotels and schools, IS shell
tering it's quota OF battle victims
Last night the list Of wounded French
was augmented by the arrival OF tt-
teen more wagonloads OF sufferers.
