to Indicate Just how tbe small body of

the Intense barrage fire preceding the
attack and trapped there by the Ger
man Infantry. Thoae not killed were
compelled to surrender or accept tbe
alternative of being blown to nieces
by band grenade^ as the Germans had
all the advantage. It Is likely. In the
onlnien of army officers, that the men
killed and wounded were those lelt
outside the dugout as sentries when
the majority sought protection from
the barrage. This la the generil prac
