On this same battlefield, according according to the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Mail, the Germans Germans suffered one of the worst^ defeats defeats of their present invasion. They were led into a trap which cost them thousands of men, he says. The French could have held their position indefinitely, but strategy required them to continue falling back with the remainder of the allies along the line.
