FIRST MESSAGE TELLS OF
FRENCH OFFICERS CAPTURE

New York. Aug. 13.-The first de-
spatch direct from Berlin uncensored
by the authorities of the nations at
war with Germany was received to-
day by the Associated Press through
the, medium of the Golschmidt Wire
less Companys station at Tuckerton,
N. Y. The message contained the i'm
portant information that during the
hghting at Muelhausen considerably
over 1000 French officers and soldiers
were taken prisoners by the Germans
who also catpured four cannon, while
in another fight with the French on
the border OF Lorraine further to the
north, the Germans also took 1000
prisoners. The despatch adds that
German soil has been cleared of
French troops.
Developments in the war zone which
appears chiefly confined to Belgian ter
ritory, are made vague owing to the
strict censorship over news relating TO
military movements.
Positions occupied by the main
French, Belgian and British forces are
not permitted to be disclosed even
approximately, SO that their plan OF
campaign cannot be assumed.
AS to the German forces, indica-
tions from various sources point to
the concentration of the main body
with its right wing In Belgium and
it's left wing in the duchy of Luxem-
burg. The German staff is said to
have gathered 26 army corps along the,
Eastern frontier facing Belgium and
France. Many of these troops prt.1-
ably are stationed in the great for
tresses in Alsace Lorraine and along
the Rhine. One despatch asserts the
defence of Germany's Russian from
tier has been left to armies made up
of reserves. Although all of these are
trained soldiers, it would seem natural
to leave as a nucleus for their organi-
Zation a considerable force from the
active army.
The dispositions and strength of the
French invaders in Alsace, where they
