IN A STRONG POSITION
French Forces Have Passed the
Valley of the Sarre.
FORI:Wing Upon the Occupation of
the Pass ot Saale and the Battle
at iiamont Operations Are Now
Developing at Angle of Alsace and
Lorraine 1 oundaries Troops
Near Saarburg.
PARIS, Aug. 18. The most im-
portant news to -day comesfrom the
east. It is a sequence of the, occupa-
tion of the Pass of Scale, which has
been known for several days, and of
the fighting at Blamont, which was
announced Sunday. Operations • are
now developing at the angle of :te
frontier where Alsace and Lorrai e
Join.
Scale is at the entrance of the val-
ley of the Brucke, which runs"toward
Strassburg,' and in w hieh there is a
railway. From this point on Friday
the French troops gained the heights
of Mount Donon, which dominates
the valley and also commands the
valley of the Sarre. The following
day, Saturday, the Frenchforced an
entrance into the valley of the Sarre
and occupied the heights on the other
side. .
The French are already at Sehir-
meek. Below Mount Donon, in the
valley of the Sarre, their • front is
about five kilometers from the impor-
tant city of Saarburg, Farther weet
they are at Menai, near: Dien; •
They are also descending the high
valleys of Alsace, between the: Bruche
and the Sarre.
At the further end .of the Donon
Mountains the French have before
them the fort of Mutzig, the Met cov-
ering fortification of Strassburg. At
the .left ,1s, a now fortified passage.
twentykilometers wide, between Don -
on and the. Des Roillieses Canal. This
is one of the two gates of Lorraine,
the other' bring" between a marshy
region farther west and the defences
of Meta.
At the other end of the line, in
Belgium, the French have triumphed
likewise in a less considerable but no
less brilliant, combat: It took place
about the city of Dinant, on the
Meuse where ten thousand Gelman
cavalrymen werein action.
The interruption of operations to
the north of Namur coincident with
this attack by Germans to the south
indicates, perhaps, a . change of ob-
jective on the part of the enemy. In
that case the great turning movement
to the north would be replaced by a
less extended movement in closer
connection with the army that is oc-
cupying Luxemburg.
British troops are now operating
with the French. in 'he -invasion og.
Alsace, according to despatches.
GERMAN POLES RISING.
Report In Rome Says Revolution Is
In Prospect.
ROME, Aug. 18.—The St. Peters-
burg correspondent of the newspaper
Messaggero, which usually is a well-
informed organ, telegraphs that there
are symptoms of a general insurrec-
tion in Prussian Poland.
The Poles, as shown in the news
from St. Petersburg, Paris and Lon-
don, are manifesting unbounded joy
over the promise of the Czar of Rus-
sia to establish a new Poland on con-•
dition that the Poles, for their part,
support Russia loyally in the present
war. The Russian Emperor under-
takes to confer complete autonomy on
this new Poland. There will be free-
dom of language and religion.
The Russian appeal has gone forth
to the Poles of Austria and Germany,
and the information received by The
Messaggero from St. Petersburg
showsthat they have grasped the op-
portunity so greatly fraught with
hope for the future.
PRUSSIAN EAGLE TAKEN.
Parisian Crowds Gaze at Tropiby Tak-
en at Markericb.
PARIS, Aug. 18,—The first), Pres-
sian eagle captured by the French
during the present war swung yester-
day above the entrance to the French
War Office in Paris. It is the red and
black `flag bearing a Prussian eagle
in the centre, which was borne into
battle -by the first lower Alsatian In-
fantry Regiment, No. 132, of the
German .army, when It came into ac-
tion at Sainte Blaise, also known as
Sainte Marie Aux Mines and Mar-
kirch. The regiment carne from the
German fortress of Strassburg.
The flag was taken by the 10th,
battalion of French Rifles, and was
brought to Paris Sunday night by Col.
Marcel Serret, formerly French mili-
tary attache at Berlin.
Crowds ot Parisians stood hour
after hour yesterday staring, at the
captured standard.
