ENEMY'S DEAD PILED HIGH AT METZERAL.

London, July 17

It is officially stated in Paris that the Germans in the valley of the southern Fecht fortified their positions, and believed them to be impregnable. .

The French preparations before attacking took a particularly long time, because they had to build fiver twenty miles of railway, over which they daily carried munitions, and also had to construct miles of communication trenches.

After the evacuation of Metzeral, the German corpses piled up indicated their frightful losses. They had seven battalions when the French attacked, and brought up ten others.
