GERMAN ARTILLERY TRAIN DESTROYED.

HEAVY CASUALTIES AMONG FRENCH OFFICERS.

PICKET) OFF BY GERMAN SHARP-

SHOOTERS

Paris, Oct. 6

British Lancers and French troops on Monday on the extreme western wing got between the German main body and the Imperial Guard, cutting off and destroying an artillery train and other supplies. Casualties amongst French officers are out of all proportion to those among the men. Every German regiment has a small body of sharpshooters specially j detailed to pick off officers. ! The French officer is particularly conj spicuous, because of his map case covered with a sheet of mica which catches ! the rays of the sun, a certain type of cape, and by the way he signals to his men.
