FRENCH BEATEN IN ALSACE
All Public Places in Basic Filled by
French Wounded--Germans Are
In Force

London.-A terrible engagement has
occurred at Mulhausen in South AL
SAGE, between the Grench and Ger
mans. The French have suffered seri-
Gus reverses, apparently in the face Of
overwhelming hostile forces.
At Basic hospitals, schools, churches
and hotels are filled with the French
wounded.
One dispatch says the Germans out
numbered the French four to one. The
Germans boast they have cleared AL
SAGE of the enemy, driving the French
entirely over the frontier.
Germans Had Losses.
Berne, Switzerland-A number of
French and German soldiers wounded
in the fighting at Mulhausen have been
taken to Liadenweiler, in the Grand
Duchy of Baden. Several doctors be-
longing to the Swiss Red Cross organ
ization have left for Liadenweiler via
Basic to attend them. 1t is learned
that two Austrian regiments have ar
rived at Loderach by way Of Lake Con-
stance to reinforce the German left.
Aeroplanes frequently fly over Basic
and it's suburbs, but at so great a
height that it is impossible to hit
them. The Swiss government has in
formed all foreign governments that 1t
will do everything in it's power to pre-
vent any aeroplane belonging to any
nation flying over Swiss territory.
Severe warnings against attempts to
take advantage of the present crisis
for pecuniary profit of individuals
have been issued and up to the pres
ent the rise in prices is small.
The Germans are stated to have lost
no less than 5000 men killed and
wounded.
French Ran Amuck.
Basle--In the engagements between
Altkirch and Mulhausen the French
infantry got completely out of hand
and with almost insane bravery impet-
uously stormed the intrenched Ger
man positions, advancing over the open
ground without taking any kind Of
precautions whatever. The French Of
ficers were utterly unable to restrain
the excessive zeal of their men and
the losses of this force were very
heavy, about 1900 of total force of
1000 being killed. Some of the French
soldiers, who we're for some reason
without rifles, determined not to be
left behind in the attack and ran I'm.
armed with their comrades.

Action Follows Quickly on Pro-

.tlE BY Emperor.

TOXIC, March 23. Especial Cable
70 The Nippu Jij)--Thc expected eli.
max in the affairs Of the present min.
istry came today with the re- ignation
OF Premier Yamsmoto and his catinet.
Announcement to this effect was nade
soon after the issuing of the ediet Of
the Emperor proros uing p rliament
Poth todies will remain adj turned for
three dpys. This action was taken in
the hope that an agreement would final.
III lie reached by which the budget
would be passed.
Al canvass b. the government forces,
however. convinced them that they
could not muster a majority in the
event that they attempted to bring the
question to n vote. Premier Yamamo-
to's resignation followed.
Much criticism is icing expressed of
the action of the house of peers in re-
ducing The budget an additional 10000
900 yen. The failure of the measure,
il IL explained, is due to the naval
scaEdnl now the center of interest In
governnent circles. Yamamoto's op.
poncnts in the house of peers insisted
that the naval investigation should
have Eeen conducted with more viRor,
and, failing to do this, they sought 70
cripple the ministry by amending the
budget
1t is this course which is being criti-
Used. II is argued that the diet, rep.
rescntative of the people, is where fiscal
appropriations originate, and that the
house of peers has no authority TO cur
tell an appropriation asked for by the
people. Instead Of erippling the gov.
ernment by reducing its budget, it is
claimed, the house of peers, IL its pur-
bose was to hasten the naval scandal
Investigation, should have made de.
mand for such action.
II Is now believed that with the re.
converting of parliament next Thurs.
day an understanding will have been
reached over the budget and that the
measure, practically as II was received
originally from the diet, will be passed
by the house Of peers. NJ.
