the company ON our left was sep
arated. from the French by q vale,
on the bar side of which the enemy
had laid out three lines OF trenches.
I'VE had come to consider the po-
sition as fmpregnable. But progress
had to be made somehow--se-.0t1r- ptos
neer detachment, therefore, decided to
mine the French trenches 14le
position Of our company, which. as
already stated, were only from nine
to fifteen feet away.
Some Of us feared that the French
would be doing the same thing and
would try to blow us up first. Our
men worked hard for this reason. and
on December first the mine was ready.
At 1890 in the morning our first
1O:45 all of our trenches were empty.
1t was exactly 11:1e when the pio-
neer lieutenant placed his thumb on
the electric buttOn. Then followed a
defamation loud enough. to herald the
end of the world.
Elm front of us shot up a large,
black column Of earth and gases. It
was fully 500 feet high and when it
collapsed a rain of earth fell down
on us. Our men had taken cover in
the woods. and it was well that they
had done SO. For about two minutes
it rained chunks of earth and rock.
when 1t was safe again in the
open our companies advanced through
the hole which had been blown in the
French position. The first trench was
full Of dead soldiers and some who
had been buried alive. In the second
and third trenches the French were
so ratified that they surrendered cas-
lily. Inside of half an hour we had
taken the entire force of the three
trenches-eight officers and 27S men
Two officers were among the dead.
I'VE also took three mine-catapulta
from the French. Our losses were
three dead and seven wounded. But
we were lucky, indeed. Among the
French prisoners we took were some
pioneers, who told US that they ha6
mined our trenches at eight points
but had not been able so far to place
the mines. They had attempted toe
much and had lost.
This was one Of the biggest event.

All summer it continues until at last
In the autumn the bear Is wounded
