severe slaughter.
General Joffre, the French com
mander, was covering enormous dis
tances up and down the lines in a rac
ing automobile. Georges Bolllot, thrice
winner of the grand prlx, acted as his
chauffeur.
Government officials admitted that
French operations In Alsace were in
tended to divert the Germans atten
tion from the French concentration
along the frontier.
They insisted that the position the
French took Just south of Molhtiusen.
when they evacuated that place, was
still held.
It was explained at the war office
that Mulhausen was originally tetzed
to enable the French troops to put out
of commission the German intelligence
center In opt-ration there. This was
accomplished and as the position was a
dangerous one, between the French and
Austrian lines, it was followed by a
withdrawal from the city to a safer
potr-south of it.
Entering it at all, in the face of a
far superior German force, it was de
clared, was a perilous undertaking bril
liantly carried out.
The Germans were again on the of
fensive in Belgium today. The Liege
forts, dispatches said, continued to
hold out.
Experts said the nature of the Ger
man maneuvers was such as to sug
gest a plan to attack Antwerp.
