en- in perfect order, and Immediately
entrenched at a position between that
city and the Alsacian frontier.
The German attack that followed
was severe, all branches of the serv-
ice being engaged. 1t is admitted that
there were heavy losses on both sides,
but the war Office insists that the
Germans we're finally checked.
The Germans brought into action
here their new Krupp guns, accord
ing to unofficial statements from ar
my officials. These guns wrought
havoc in the French lines, having a
much longer range than had been
believed possible, but it is also claim
ed that the German craftsmanship
was poor.
The French artillery was used to
advantage and under cover of the
guns the French cavalry charged in
force. Fighting was still in progress
according to last adVices. III
Up to the present the fort at Long
wy is holding out, but as it is an old
one it is considered possible that the
French may not try to hold it against
an overwhelming force.
The giVe-and-take at Mulhausen
would seem to mean that neither side
is sure of itself in that district and
that the French have not yet effected
the purpose of their reconnaissance
toward the Strassburg fortified camp
The presence of Austrians, threat
ening a flank attack from the east,
must be having an effect on the
French movement northward through
Alsace.
This would explain the obvious
caution of the. French commander
The reluctance of the German force
at Mulhausen to follow up its victory,
although according to French official
report, it was in superior numbers,
might well mean that Germany has
weakened her southern forces to re-
inforce the army at Liege.
