FRENCH OFFICER'S COURAGE
CLASH BETWEEN PATROLS.
GERMANS FLEE IN DISORDER.
Paws, August 10,
The superiority of .the French has being shown in some lively cavalry engagements which have occurred in the south. A typical incident was afforded by an encounter of a German patrol, comprising an officer and twenty-two Uhlans, and a French patrol, comprising an officer and seven mounted chasseurs. The Germans hesitated, and the French officer, dashing forward at full gallop, killed the German officer. The twenty-two Uhlans fled in disorder, abandoning their officer's body.
