 Infantry.

While await ing the moment for the attack the French soldier rested behind their lines, joking and putting their arms in perfect order.
 The bright glow from the slow burning Illuminating rockets and the glare of exploding projectiles lighted up the entire zone of action during two nights.
 After a few hours of intense fire our hopes that our batteries were dominating the situation were trans formed to certain conviction" said a wounded officer who took part in the battle. 'The moment for the attack was set for dawn, when the charge was sounded. Whole battal- ions, reinforced by reserves, bounded forward. The rush was so impetuous that the Germans still alive and un- wounded in the battered works seem- ed dazed and unable to resist They were disarmed and pushed back for our reserves to pick up, while the attacking line went on. r.
 There was little or no musketry. The bayonet did most of the work. The proportion of dead to wounded and prisoners was large. What was left of entire companies threw up their hands at the sight of the deadly execution by the Zouaves."
 The general impression of wound ed men brought from the field is tn the affair of Perthes is only a begin hing of the French effort
 Parisians received the news of the victory soberly. The newspapers ts- sued unusually large editions, and official bulletins were read from the stages of the theaters last night, the orchessras playing the "Marscillai- se." There were no other public dem- onstrations
 A report was spread that many trains carrying wounded soldiers were arriving outside Paris, but later it was learned that these trains were filled with German prisoners
