FRENCH TAKE STEINBACH
Strike Victorious Stride in Alsace
Advance on Muelhausen and
Bombard Altkirch.

Paris.-Steinbach has fallen. The
Alsatian town to which the French
laid violent siege a week 6 and which
they later invested and forced their
way into, fighting from house to house
and gaining ground only foot by foot,
was carried by the French, according
to the official statement issued here.
Cernay (called Sennheim by Ger
mans) is being violently attacked by
the French. This town is but three
miles from Steinbach and the general
offensive is directed against these two
points in the advance on Muelhausen,
which is only eight miles away. The
fall of Cernay is expected to follow
shortly.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center. which also is
but about eight miles from Muelhau-
sen, but slightly west Of south. Stein
bach, Cernay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west of Muel-
hansen. Thus Muelhausen is threten-
ed from two quarters, its front on the
west and its left flank on the south.
So important is the success of the
French in these operations that staff
officers of the French army have ap-
piled to their attainment that word
which has been treasured by even the
most radical spirits for use only in de
cided triumphs-"victory."
