A Horrible Night!
The following account of the rOut of
the Prussian guards is by Private
Jackson. of a Hampshire regiment:

The Eclair prints a letter from q
French soldier who was engaged in the
Argonne fighting, which. as the writer
says. forms an interesting pendant for
the bald words OF the official commu-
niQue telling Of German attacks being
repulsed. He describes the French
retirement before a superior force
from a village commanding an atllu-
ent Of the Meuse, intersecting that part
Of the Argonne where a wide road fol-
lowed that valley.

there was a sudden terrific explosion
that staggered the ranks. Simultane-
