It is officially stated that Germany lost one hun dred killed, many wounded and prisoners during two days' fighting near Eydkuh nen, east Prussia. associated press dispatch PARIS, Aug. S While the battle betwern the German forces and the Belgians is still in progress around I.iepe. and the final outcome is not yet known, an official detailed account of engagements covering the period wtwoen August third and fifth was issued here. In summarizing opera tions the account says. The Ger mans lost 50an dead. Twenty-four puns were captured and one general made prisoner. The German forces rumlered 1-O.rmo and the Belgian de fenders 50.000. The German attack lacked cohesion. On the contrary the Belgians utilized their reserves with consummate skill. The German ar tillery in general badly supported the dense attacking columns. The guns were badly served and inaccurate. The Belgian forts are intact." News of the first French victory of the war, the capture of the village of Altkirch in Alsace near the Swiss frontier, which is probably much more Important than the cautious of ficial announcement indicated, was re ceived here with extraordinary en thusiasm. Not one soldier was killed and not one wounded during the three hours bombardment of Fort Evegne, the steel cupola of which was not dam aged. The Belgian fire was well placed and accurate, the proof of which was the destruction of two Ger man heavy pieces. German air craft, to deceive the Belgians, carried Bel gian flags. Three German army corps engaged in the attack on Liege, the sixth under General Von Pritzelwitz, the seventh under General Von Einem and the tenth under General Von Emmieh. Emmich, in addition, has supreme command of three corps, known as the army of Meuse. The German col umns crossed the Belgian frontier, and came in contact with the Bel gian advance posts on the afternoon of August 4. The following day the attack was general along the whole line. Ger man columns crossed the Belgian frontier during the night bctween4Au gust 3 and 4. The plan of attack was developed during the day on Au gust 5. Each German column had a different objective, the forts at Fleron, Barchon and Evegne, con stituting a northeasterly section and being the first point, while the second column attacked the southeastern sec tion, comprising the forts of Bon celles and Embourg." Shortly after the -war office issued its bulletin, newsboys tore through the streets waving leaflets with huge headlines: "Victory for French in Alsace."

Rejoicing was all the greater, therefore, because the first important engagement had been fought in German territory and the French had obtained a footing in Alsace. The capture of Altkirch ap pears to have taken place two or three days ago, and the French army has now penetrated the enemy's coun try considerably further. There was no official mention of losses, but they are believed to have been heavy. The first attack of the northern Germany column was made on the left. It attacked Fort Fleron itself, the intervening space between Forts Fleron and Evagnee and also the In t rval between Forts Fleron and Chaudfontaine. The attack from the beginning was without dash. Artillery fire from the forts was heavy and well placed. The Belgians' attack at intervals be tween the forts was energetic and the German offensive movement was soon checked and. the engagement then be came an artillery duel, the Belgian guns having a deadly effect on the German forces. The German column attacking Fort Barchon spread out Into a fan shape formation to the extreme right and followed around the fort. It made for the city, but the Belgian reserve brigade delivered a prompt counter attack and threw the Germans back in disorder. Their losses were enor mous. The German heavy artillery fire was concentrated against Fort Barch on, but seemed badly directed. Heavy Belgian artillery dominated the Ger man fire and destroyed two of their heavy guns. The German centrol column attack ed Fort Evagnee. The Belgian reply of two actions of artillery and the crossfire from Forts Fleron and Barchon was supported by a counter attack by the Belgian, infantry. The German advance was stopped. At this moment General Von Em mich sent a flag of truce, demanding surrender. He Informed the com mandant. Lieutenant General Leman that if he did not surrender imme diately, a Zeppelin dirigible would drop an explosive upon the head quarters of the general staff. The refusal was as summary as the request. The fire from the fort was reopened heavily and the offensive was also taken by the Belgians. The Germans abandoned their positions and retired for a distance of six miles. The Belgian troops followed up their advantage without delay. The German retreat was accelerated. Coincident with these events on the northern forts, the second part of the German attack was being carried out upon the southeastern defenses. The German troops sought to make their way between the Belgian positions on every side. They also attacked Forts Boncelles from Bourg but encountered entanglements, which had been num erously placed and the wire was ap preciably retarded. They continued their advance and made a direct at tack, which failed. Their losses were heavy. The Belgians defending in the in terval numbered only 1500 but they fell back a mile and a quarter. This was a critical moment. General Le man threw all his troops, which were not engaged upon that part of the de fense and 15,000 men were massed against the attack. All night fierce bayonet fighting ensued. The enemy held back. In the obscurity there was some confu sion and one small German column of infantry succeeded in entering the city. The German officer wore an undress cap to deceive the Belgians. He spoke English. To complete the deception his men carried their rifles at their shoulders. They got within fifty yards oT the general head quarters, when the gendarmes recog nized them and opened fire. Violent street fighting followed and the Ger mans were driven out of the city. General Leman then transferred his headquarters to one of the forts." Patriotism In Russia ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 8. A wave of patriotism has swept over Russia. Every effort is being made to meet the demands of the crisis. Families of reservists are being al lowed to remain in their homes with out payment of rent. Private houses have been placed at the disposal of the government for hospitals and so cieties have been formed to distri bute food to the needy. The daugh ters of the" emperor are supervising relief work from the Hermitage. Religious and social enmities have been dropped. General Rennenkampff attended services In. the synagogue in Vena in the province of Vilna of which he is governor. Some passen ger trains are still running. French Ar Enrolling PARIS, Aug. 8. It is officially an nounced that citizens of Alsace-Lorraine are to be enrolled in one for eign regiment being organized to help France. Immediately upon signing for the duration of the war, such volun teers become of French nationality and may then be transferred to any regiment. The personnel of the Rus sian embassy at Vienna has been con ducted to the Swiss frontier, and is coming to Paris. French military authorities are somewhat surprised that the United States has not yet sent a military attache to the front with the French army. There are ten American army officers now in France, but none of them are on duty with the French force. The experiences of Jules Cambon, French ambassador to Berlin, on the trip from the German capital are related in detail in his report to the minister of foreign affairs. It appears that he was subjected to numerous inconveniences and even ill treatment when passing through the canal at Kiel. Soldiers there invaded the train on the pretense of inspecting his bag gage, and he and other travellers were obliged to remain in their compart ments, the windows of which were closed and curtains drawn. Before each door a soldier stood with re- Are You Making The Most of Your Opportunities DuringKomck's Removal Sale? Only once in 19 years have we been able to name such a sale.
