Paris, Aug. 11.---The papers de- vote much space to a statement sworn to on August 3rd before a Paris commissary of police by a "young Frenchman, Jean Faucesroy Benoneynes, age 15, regarding mur- ders of Frenchmen by German sol- diers witnessed by him on the fron- tier on August 1, when he was trav- elllng home just' before the war bel Ban. The Matin devoted three of its first | columns of the front page to this; story, including, an editorial de-! nouncing the assassins in the strong- | est terms, all under the heading of | "An Empire of Barbarians."

In the estimate of army engineers these defenses are in- vulnerable except as against an army * vastly outnumbering French forces behind the parapets in the rifle pits. The American axiom is that one soldier behind such defenses as the French have erected on this from- tier is equal to four in the attacking army. This ratio of effective de- fensive and offensive power might be greatly reduced by systematic siege operations, but this would favolve the expenditure of that most precious factor in a campaign--time, which would not be in accord with the sup- posed German plans for a dash into Paris Therefore, the beginning of the campaign in Belgium bad been ex- pected here, and the outcome is bé- ing awaited with great interest by shot dead.

A Preliminary Canter. London, Aug. 11.--In regard to the fighting both around liege and In Alsace it is necessary to bear in mind that these operations are only pre- liminary encounters to the real shock of the great battles which, as point- ed out some days ago, cannot well hegin before the sixteenth instant. In Alsace probably only a couple of brigades were engaged, one on each side. The French advance was only a reconnoissance by a force designed to test the strength of the enemy in front of Belfort. Possibly also the French commanders were influenced by the knowledge of the effect the re-occupation of a part of Alsace would have upon patriotic sentiment. This, of course, is a side issue. Prob- ably "the French general staff has determined where the Ger man concentration is Aaking place and where the chief offensive stroke is to be made. Three routes are available - through Nancy, through Belgium, and through Belfort.
