Paris. Feb. 9.-Dospite the critical
situation in the eastern theater Of
war, Austria is sending reinforce
Rents to strengthen the German ar.
mics in Alsace-Lorraine. Artillery is
also being transported from upper
Austria and Bohemia.
In the fighting east of st. Die, and
near Altkirch, a number of Austrian
artillerymen were taken prisoners By
the French. These prisoners told their
captors that large number OF heavy
Austrian guns have been concentrated
near Strassburg and Metz and also at
Muelhausen.

In AlsaCe the French lines now lie

-. Repulsed.

London, Feb. 9.--Dagatelle, held by
the French, is the scene of big
battle. German forces opened the at.
tack early on the morning Of Sunday.
Drive after drive was made against
the French lines without effect. At
dusk the French we're still holding.
All during the night the artillery
kept up a vigorous cannonade, and
under cover Of their fire infantry at
tacks were exchanged. French gun
ners replied with effective fire TO the
battering administered by the. Ger
man guns. The battle was kept up
all night by both arms. When dawn
came the German infantry made their
most vigorous assault. Before the on.
rushing, massed columns the French
defenders wavered. then broke. The
Germans swarmed over scattered
sections OF the first line Of trenches
and held them.
French Hold Line.
The French, falling back to the sec
ond line works, braced and held their
line, effectively resisting the attacks,
which we're continued all morning.
An engagement lacking nothing OF
the fury of the Bagatelle battle
though the numbers engaged were
less, was fought at La Boiselle, on
the center. Possibly excepting the
lighting about La Bassee, this was the
most spectacular clash on this sec
ton of the front.
During Saturday night the Germans
succeeded in tunneling undiscovered
to a point which they apparently es
timated was directly beneath the
houses used by the French as bar
racks. In the light of subsequent
events it was evidently their purpose
to blow up with mines the barracks
But their tunneling operations mis-
carried and the mines they laid were
beneath the road In front OF the
houses. These were exploded.
H.. Use Holes as Trenches.
Through the smoke of the explosion
the Germans came charging down, ex
pectfng to see the barracks in ruins
and to be able to finish of the sur
vivors. Into the deep assures the
momentum of their charge carried
them. They we're unable to mount
the wall of the. far side of the Jagged
ditch, and two and one-half com
panies Of them we're trapped in the
hole. But they put up a stir fight
and IL was not until afternoon that
the French we're able to dislodgc
them.
This done. the French troops were
able to perfect as entertainments the
assures torn by the explosion. Two
hundred Germans-more than a THIRD
OF the number engaged in the charge
we're found dead in the pit or on Its
edge.
