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 a 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 a blow in full force
against the Germans through Alsace
and Lorraine.
France, however, is masking all her
movements behind a censorship which

formation of any nature to be sem out

Rdent that the raids into Alsace will
be followed by a 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 or.
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 e 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.

now undertake the offensive, in co.
