fought in Upper Alsace, upon the Vosges Mountains and along the River Meurlhc. The main body of troops is under the com? mand of General Pau. These forces hold the front, roughly speak? ing, between Badonvilicr and Luneville. "Amanee, Dieulouard and Luneville have been occupied by the Germans; other?*iso the French front has not been modified. "An armv from the north of Wavre is approaching Neuf chateau and is attacking th?* German forces which have defiled through Luxemburg and are now upon the right bank of the Semois. "Another armv from the direction of Sedan has crossed the Department of Ardennes and is engaging the German army corps which has been prociedinp between the River Lesse and the River Meuse. ' "A third arm> corps from the neighborhood of Chimay is advancing to attack the German risjht between the River Sambre and the River Meur*c. This third army is supported by an Eng? lish army, which has tome from the vicinity of Mons. "The movements of the Germans who sought to pass our left wing were followed step by step, and their right now finds its-elf attacked by the left wing of our army, which is working in conjunction with the English. From this side* the battle continued vigorously for more than twenty-four hours, the field extending over the remainder of the front." An unconfirmed report was in circulation in Paris this morn? ing that the Germans had occupied the unfortified town of Nancy. BY FOUR OR FIVE ROUTES. The special correspondent of "Le Temps" at Charleroi states that the Germans are advancing along a front of from 80 to 100 miles in Belgium. It is the unfolding of a mighty fan, preceded bv clouds of scouts. The Germans are preparing to enter France by four or five different routes. Meanwhile, the French troops, according to their plans, are on the right and left banks of the Meuse, harassing the enemy perpetually. The correspondent was able to visit the troops. The troop? ers he saw were smoking and in the best of spirits. From time to time the cracks of carbines announced that patrols were coming in with prisoners. One non-commissioned officer made a typical report: "Two hundred yards from the bridge of La Carrosserie," he announced, "I saw seven Uhlans issuing from the woods. 1 brought down three and the rest fled." Every one sprang to his saddle and was away in pursuit. GERMANS IN CHARLEROI. Twenty Deaths Head Hussars entered Upper Charleroi at 7 o'clock in the morning and quietly made for the Sambre, salut? ing passersby in French, "Bon jour, bon jour, ami!" Good house? wives and shop people took their neat uniforms for English khaki and critd, "Vive la Englaterre!" The French troops were thrown off their guard and allowed the Germans to pass, but a French officer, looking out of a window, saw them, and, rushing into the street, gave the alarm. At the corner of the Rue de Montigny, a tramway crossing, some infant?*\ came upon the hussarr. They killed two and wounded three and the remainder of the Germans with their officers took to flight. Such a surprise visit was thought impossible, as the Germans were supposed to be much further away. Since then the most stringent watch has been kept. Fugi? tives are coming in from all sides. From 2 o'clock on, says the correspondent, cannonading was distinctly heard. It is the be? ginning of the battle. THREE GERMAN ARMIES VICTORIOUS, BERLIN HEARS i ; ? ' ,? ? | ?
