For two wecks a battle has been raging fiercely, the Germans fighting with greater desparation now that the war is being waged on German soil Despite German official reports 10 the contrary, the success of the French operationshas been consid- erable. Proof of this was given by the order issned on Weduesday by the military authorities in Alsace ordering all cilizéns of neutral states to leave the ferritory between February 1 and 10 Ther expulsion is proof that the Germans fear a general French ad- vange in Alsace Another ominous: sign was the order issued the same day "for. the wives of all officers of the gartison of Strassburg to leave that city within lorty-eight hours.
