PROGRESS IN ALSACE
ATTACK ON MULHAUSEN ENEMY ABANDON CERNAY PARIS, 2nd February. The French have made gradual progress in Alsace. The Germans quietly evacuated Cernay (or Sennheim, nine miles north-west of Mulhausen), which the French guns had made untenable, and now the enemy's- bombardment of Cernay prevents the French from occupying it. Meanwhile the French are shelling the forest of Nonnenbruch, where the Germans are entrenched, barring the advance to Mulhausen. A VALUABLE FOREST (Received February 3, 8.20 a.m.) PARIS, 2nd February. The forest of Nonnenbrnch is being stubbornly contested owing to the deposits of potassium salts there, valued at sixty thousand million francs (nearly £3,000,000,000). The deposits were hitherto in the hands of German capitalists.
