STIRRING DETAILS OF BATTLE ATMUELHAUSEN

French Capture, Retire From, and Recapture German Position.

LONDON, Aug. 22.—An Exchange Telegraph company dispatch from Paris gives further details of the battles of Muelhausen and Altkirche. "As the enemy's retreat had not been shut off, they made good their escape, hiding in the forest, thirteen miles in extent. French troops entered Muelhausen as night was falling, to the acclamations of the people who royally feted our soldiers. Muelhausen was difficult to defend against a force coming from the north or east and was relatively easy to retake. "The Germans attacked our posi tlons that same night, coming from the forest on the right and Neu Breisach on the left, while other troops marched in the direction of Cernay to cut off our retreat from there. Cernay is on the Thur river, southeast of Thann. By staying in Muelhausen with a comparatively weak force, we risked losing our line of retreat to the heights of Vosges. Therefore It was thought possible to .attack the enemy marching toward

Cernay and utilize our reserves when a rally was necessary. "Our left was being attacked toward Cernay by a superior force. Our center was engaged at Muelhausen and our right was forced to remain inactive. The battle was going against us. Therefore retreat was the only solution, as the enemy was not prepared to give up the heights of Alsace without a struggle and had brought up a large force for its defense. "Our object was to take up a new base in the shelter of Belfort. The enemy suffered severely from our artillery. Their howitzer battery caused us much trouble. Accordingly General Pau determined to give battle while the enemy seemed inclined, rather than to continue the skirmishing. "The battle front was less extended than on the previous week. The German line of retreat lay by- the canal leading to the Rhine. When the attack commenced Thann and Dannemarie were the objective points. The fight was sharp and decisive, and the Germans were driven out. They set fire to the greater part of the towns before leaving. "General Pau next gave an order to attack in the direction of Muelhausen. At the same tifhe our left began an attack In the direction of Neu Bresach and Colmar, and our right began its march on Altkirche. Our left and right also menaced the line of the German retreat before Muelhausen. Four German batteries were abandoned and our •men, limbering up their guns, captured twenty-four of the enemy's guns. "The struggle continued desperately, but already the enemy had found our troops steadily gaining ground and, apparently fearing that the bridges over the Rhine would be destroyed, reI tired in great disorder and vigorously pursued by our men. We now hold *^»««sthe sides and the main valleys of the

Vosges, and are in the best positions to follow up our success In the direction of Colmar."

SING "DIE WACHT AM RHETCT AS THEY MARCH INTO BRUSSELS

Entry of Green-Gray Germans Accompanied By Much Music From Bands.

L»ONION, Aug. 22.—A dispatch to the Dally Mail from Brussels, "Milch came by way of Ghent, adds the following details concerning the entry of the Germans into Brussels: "Burgomaster Max met the Germans outside the city. He was accompanied by four sheriffs, who went out In a motor car- M. Max endeavored to assert the claim of the populace to certain rights under the rules of war but was roughly Interrupted by the German officers, who insisted that he remove his scarf of office. "The burgomaster complied and the negotiations being satisfactorily concluded he waa ordered to continue in charge of the civil affairs of the capltal. At the same time he was notified tljat he would be held responsible for --overt acts of the populace against the

Germans. "The German entry was acompanied by much music from the bands, drums, fifes and bugles and continuous singing by the soldiers of "Die Wacht Am Rhein* and 'Deutschland Uber Allea.' "There waa no touch of color in the German uniform. All were greenish gray and the helmets were covered with gray cloth. The guns were painted gray as were the carriages. Even the pontoon bridges, which were carried in sections, were of the same color, "The Belgians watched open-mouthed as the Germans marched into the pub""•Olic square, where they broke into the famous parade march of the goose step.

Many observers were heard to mutter, however, as the Germans passed through the streets: 'They will not conm back this way, for the allies will finish them.'

MINE RESCUE CONTEST INTERESTS THE NiNERS

Seventy-Five Men Attend Lecture By American Mine Safety Kepresentative.

That great Interest will be taken ln the national first aid and mine rescue, meet to be held ln Terre Haute, September 12, at the baseball park was evidenced Friday night when more than 75 miners attended a lecture by Dr. August F. Knoeful at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Dr. Knoeful, who is the first vice-president of tho American Mine Safety association, demonstrated the various types of bandages and dressings to the miners and explained to them the nature of the meet to be held In Terre Haute.

Equipped with the oxygen helmets, the teams will enter the large chamber which will be filled withi gas. Before entering each man will be given a physical examination. Medals and prlzeB will be awarded for the winners of the contests by the American Red Cross society, the American Mine Safety association and the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators' association.

It 1s planned to establish a regular training school in Terre Haute following the meet. The classes will be conducted in Terre Haute and other nearby mining towns. The Red Cross first aid book will be used for the training of the teams. After a member of a team has passed the examinations from the text book, he receives a medal from the society. For each year after the first examination, he receives a bar for again passing the tests.

QUESTIONS HIS SAHITY.

Justice Madlgan Holds Colored Man With a Wife and An Affinity. Clandestine love was brought out in the insanity proceedings against John Bradley, colored, in Justice Madlgan's court late Friday afternoon when his wife and his affinity both appeared ln court. The case was continued until Thursday when a commission will proceed to determine his condition. Bradley was arrested while attempting to effect an entrance into the home of Mrs. Henry Raeber. At the jail, where he was taken, he became violent and extra precautions had to be exercised. Later physicians declared that he was rational and recommended his disdischarge. The court, however, refused to discharge him without holding a commission.

Independently of their nationality, women of all countries have taken the field to take care of the wounded. The humanitarian organization of the Red Cross hps enlisted every woman willing to give her services. Members of rovni

Bowsher Applies for Court Order to Have City Officials Reinstate Him.

An error ln the duplicate copy of the complaint made against the members of the board of safety, Mayor Donn M. Roberts, Edward Holler, superintendent of police, was the cause of the failure of the police department to reinstate Guy Bowsher Saturday morning as ordered by Judge John E. Cox, of the Superior Court, it was learned Saturday morning. City Attorney Charles Batt and A. A. Beeeher, attorney for the plaintiff, in consultation at the court house discovered that the copy furnished the city officials did not contain the clause "and assign the plaintiff to his duties as police officer." Mr. Batt stated that a corrected copy of the order would be delivered at once to the police department.

The petition for a temporary restraining order against the city officials to prevent them from discharging Bowsher, was granted by Judge Cox late Friday afternoon. The order was made mandatory and the city officials ordered to reinstate Bowsher.

In his petition against the city officials, Bowsher charges practically the same grievance as was filed against the officials by Patrolmen Bud Van Cleave and Albert Moore recently. The petition was made returnable September 8.

The board of safety Instructed the police officials immediately to comply with the court order.

ERROR DELAYS ACTION IN PATROLMAN'S CASE

COULDNT FIND TAIL OR HORNS ON MAYOR

People of Hew Albany Wanted to Get a Glimpse of Donn M. Roberts of Terry Hut.

The New Albany Ledger tells of Mayor Donn M. Roberts' visit there this week with the county commissioners and gives the mayor and his good roads speech a notice three columns long.

Mayor Roberts returned Saturday and was at hie desk in the city hall. He considered that he had put some good licks in at the commissioners' meeting at New Albany for his candidacy for the nomination for governor. The New Albany Ledger said: "The most striking personality, which many persons were anxious to see and meet, a man wlio has achieved national reputation, considerably without and somewhat against his will, who is one of the attendants at the convention of commissioners ttoday, is Mayor Donn M. Roberts, of Terre Haute Mr. Roberts is quite a youthful looking man personally, and certainly does not look the dangerous and ferocious person described by the bull moose, republican 'Unco Guid' papers. In fact, he is a most pleasant gentleman and, if the reports from Terre Haute are to be credited at all, is giving that city not only an up-to-date, but a fine city government. "He has reduced expenses, has 26 miles of fine streets under way, 110 miles of streets repaired without extra expense and kept clean, immorality and drunkenness curbed, traffic ordinances enforced and many other features that must make other cities sit up and take notice."
