The sound of heavy can nonading in upper Alsace , has been heard as far as Basel andother lo calities near the Swiss frontier. The main struggle between the French .and Germans, according to reports reaching the Swiss frontier, is around Altkiroh and Damerkirch. The- inmates of a large mad house near Sennheim, more than 400 in number, were so firghtened by the roaring of the guns that they became 'frantic and tried to break out of the asylum. The German authorities were obliged to convey all of them 'to Mulhausen. i A newspaper dispatch states that the Germans are mounting guns be fore the city hall and church in Col mar with the object of ' forcing the JFrenoh to bombard the town in the hope that the population will be thus turned against the French.

The military critic of the Bourse Gazette reckons that the loss of the Austrians in prisoners, is equal to their number of dead and wounded and places the fighting strength of Austria now at two thirds of what it was at the beginning of the war He sites the smaller percentage of Austrian artillery falling into Rus sian hands and says this is account ed for by an explanation in a recent issue of the official War Messenger to the effect that since the second Austrian retreat from Poland the Austrian artillery is always with drawn from the .field before the final issue of the battle. This he declar ed, amounts to beginning a retreat before they are actually defeated. The critic also points out the large proportion of officers, including col- onel8r lieutenants colonels, among the prisoners as indicating the de moralization of ' the Austrian army and the : loss of the fighting spirit. He states that the last fifty thous and Austrian prisoners including 600 commissioned officers. The writer contrasts this with the results where the Russians are engaged against the German. There, he declared, th officers fall fighting. 59 GERMAN AIR CRAFT v WRECKED, PARIS SAYS. London, Dec'5.
