Show ! FRENCH BEAR WAR OF 1870 IN MIND London. Aug. 33 Co. 20 a. m.) The Times' military correspondent says "There an be little doubt that the Kuglish army In this glorious week has by its splendid courage done! much to save the situation It has attracted to Itself the pick of the German troops nnd thereby given the i French time to recover themselves nd to restore order. "In their arrangement our gallant allies, al-lies, now In line, on both flanks of our army, have, by their aggressive attitude, brought the German offensive offen-sive to a tomporary standstill, and even If a general offensive is nOt practicable, we can count on determined deter-mined nnd energetic resistance. "If the fortunes of war compel us to retire still farther we can assume that with 1870 in mind no general in the field will allow hrnself to be shut up In a fortress, even thougn this fortress be the capital of France." |
