FRENCH ATTACK IN
REGION OF RHEIMS
(Correspondence of The Associater Press.)
Behind the French Front in Cham
pagne, Aug. 19. The French troops
that made a big dent in the German
line Just west of Berry-au-Bac and
not far from Rheims more than a
year ago, and who had chafed under
the necessity of marking time there
ever since, especially since the laftt
tle of Verdun began, were allowed
the satisfaction recntly of attacking a
little wood the Germans still held
there between the Aisite and the little
town of Ville-aux-Bois. This diversion
developed an action of considerable
importance that did not get into the
official communique. It has been
described to the Associated Press by
a staff officer.
The wood, strongly fortified by the
Germans, made it impossible, so long
as the Teutons held it, for the French
to rectify and properly to consolidate
their front at that point. When the
attack upon 'Verdun developed great
proportions, it was decided to prepare
this operation, both as a desirable
improvement of the French position
and as a diversion. What would hav
bean considered an unprecedented
concentration of artillery, both heavy
guns and field pieces, before the Ver
dun operations, was effected imme
diately behind the front, while the
infantry burrowed deeper and deeper
into their underground Rhelters. Or
ders were given for the opening of
fire at 7 o'clock on the morning of
April 25 and the fire increased in
rapidity, and Intensity until 4 o'clock
in the afternoon, the Germans re
plying feebly until the entire wood
was being swept and (symptoms of an
approaching attack became apparent.
Then their heavy pieces from the
heights of Craonne began a heavy
shelling of the trenches from which
an attack might have been supposed
to originate.
The French infantry, well protect
ed, from this shelling, in their deep
ened dugouts, waited until the French
artillery lengthened the ranges and
swept the approach trenches and
soldiers' quarters in the rear of the
German position. At half past four
the first wave of assailants climbed
out of their underground shelters and
threw themselves into the wood. All
the Germans remaining in the first
line trenches were killed or made
prisoners, and the French line pre
ceded on to the eastern edge of the
woods, where they rapidly organize
their defenses against the counter-attack.
At the same time special detach
ments explored the interior of the
wood, searching subterranean shelt
ers in which German infantry had
sought refuge during the bombard
ment. That operation was soon in
terrupted; more than two companies
of German infantry that the French
had passed over in their rush, seeing
that their adversaries had reached
the eastern edge of the wood, came
out of their block houses and dug
outs and took the French Infantry in
the rear. The attacking party was
for a moment menaced with envelop
ment, hut. recovering from their
surprise, they turned their machine
guns upon the asailants taking them
In the rear.
Just when the moment arrived for
the advance of the second wave of
French Infantry. Rushing Into the
wood at double fpiirk. this line
took the two companies of German
infantry in (he rear, and the latter
now got between two llres instead of
surrounding the first line of French
snHants, and were themselves enve
loped. ''
.. A furious hand-to-liand struggle
ensued: the. Germans, seeing the des
peration of their situation, tried to
escape from the woods to the north,
part of them succeeded, but more
than inn, entirely .surrounded, threw
down their arms and surrendered.
The search of the woods, then re
sumed, uncovered little companies
of Germans hidden underground in
all corners.' Their resistance was
promptly overcome hv the use of
hand grenades, ami fiO more prison
ers were taken front the underground
shelters which, on inspection, were
found to be marvels of field fortifica
tions. They ran from six tiv eight
yards in depth, most' of .them, and
some of th'.-m were dug in a depth of
ten yards, with such .supports that
they were able I" resist the largest
and most powerful projectiles. En
trance and exit from these subter
ranean forts were facilitated by the
arrangeemnt of inclined planes, down
which the soldiers would run in case
of danger. Windlasses had been pro.
vlded to lower machine guns during
the bombardment and to raise them
quickly as soon as the shelling ceas
ed. In the course f this action, a
French soldier, separated from his
comrades, found himself face to face
with several Germans, who threw
themselves upon him. disarmed him,
snd tool; him into one of those deep
caves. Five other French prisoners
were brought there to join him soon
afterwards. Their captors offered
them sausages and ham. and made a
considerable show of treating them
generously. While the French prison
era were dispatching the lunch, six
other Germans precipitated them
selves into the shelter, completely de
moralized, crying Gamarades. Gama
rades." The six French prisoners; to
the consternation of their captors,
Immediately constituted themselves
the guardians of the twelve Germans'
and an hour later brought them back
to thc French lines.
At 6 o'clock in the evening the
. operations were entirely terminated,
the woods completely in the hands of
the French, whose losses were insig
nificant, while everywhere in th"
woods lay German corpses, and 160
prisoners, of which four were officers
and seven subaltern officers of the
101st Saxon regiment, of which the
Kmpernr is the Honorary Chief, were
on their way to the rear.
