FLOWER OF COLONIAL TROOPS
IN FRONT LINE OF BATTLE
MAKE EFFORT TO REGAIN
FORMER POSSESSIONS.
ARABS TRAINED FOR
WAR FROM CHILDHOOD
Terrific Battle Expected at Any Mo-
nent-After Waiting Forty-four
Years, French Now Anticipate
Victory Over the
Germans.

Brussels, Aug. 12-France threw
the flower of her colonial troops to the
front Of the line of battle when the
Turcos, famous Arab fighters from
Algeria, invaded upper Alsace.
The Arab troopers are trained to
warfare from childhood, are noted for
their wonderful skill as marksmen,
and have won the applause of France
by their brave campaigns against
Moroccan marauders. AS tribute to
their loyalty and dauntless spirit, half
OF the officers in the regiment are
chosen from the ranks of the Arabs.
France Prepares Attack.
The assault on upper Alsace. fol-
lowing the French victories at Alt,
kirch and Muelhausen, in the south
Of the Lost Province" is believed
here to indicate that France is pre-
pairing to deal blow in full force
against the Germans through Alsace
and Lorraine.
France, however, is masking all her
movements behind a censorship which
is absolute, permitting no advance in
formation Of any nature to be sent out
from Paris. Belgium officials feel con.
fident that the raids into Alsace will
be followed by general engagement
there, and that the French apparently
have proceeded on a line of campaign
long thought out and in which they
look forward serenely to victory.
Retreat of Germans Cut Off.
French troops yesterday reached a
position in front Of the forts defend
ing Liege and succeeded in working
their way to a position in the rear of
that city, where they have cut off the
retreat of the kaiser's forces and have
severed their lines of communication
by which they might receive general
supplies and ammunition.
The advance of the French was con-
tested desperately by the Germans,
who fought bravely, but hopelessly, to
cut their way back to the main Ger
man invading force, south Of the
Meuse
Unofficial estimates of the losses of
the Germans in this engagement place
them at 5000 killed or wounded and
LOO who were captured.
The French and Belgian forces will
now undertake the offensive, in CO.
operation along a concerted line OF
campaign.

East Walker Mail Route.

A petition has been in circulation
this week, and has been numerously
signed, asking the government TO con-
tinue the thrice~a-week mail route to
Wichman, on the East Walker river
Some weeks ago new bids were asked
for and they were so high on ac-
count of carrying parcel post pack
ages that the government rejected the
them all and asked for bids to carry
the mail only once week. The route
to Wichman and Pine Grove is prac-
tically rural one and is great con-
venience to many farmers and the
Pine Grove mining camp and they do
not want the service cut to once a
week. 1t should not be, either, for
the East Walker section is growing
and prospering and the Pine Grove
country has greater population now
than for many years past, ard is doing
more business.
