Paris, Jan. 10.—The bombardment on Jan. 7 by the French heavy artil- lery at Altkirch was more than a simple military manifestation, says the Matin. The precise obiect of the at- tacik was to prevent the v ge of im- portant relnforcements which were destined to_co-operate in the German defense of Steinbach. Aided by aviators, the French artil- lery demolished the rallway line of the upper 1Il river, rendering it useless to the Germans for more than five kilo- meters (three miles), continues the 2 »ve Hirzbach, two German ringing _reserve troops en route ‘from the Swiss frontier toward broke down.

The French have attained a strategical railroad annexed country. Thev have already cut this line above Altkirch. The cen- tral railroad from the Swiss frontier to Starssbure is the secret of the Ger- man resistance in Alsace.
