West of the Meuse we isolated two fortified points of support called Alsace" and " Lorraine," south-west of Bethincourt. The enemy sought to avoid the danger by a hasty retreat, but the Silesians cut them off and inflicted sanguinary losses. We qaptured 700 unwounded men, two field guns, and 13 machine guns.
