tons upon tons of shells upon La
Poche for those three days. When
chamber was destroyed they gave the
Germans no time to repair it. For y
hours the blasts of explosions were
tearing at that redoubt-a hurricane
OF all the big calibres from six to 5
inch. with some smaller ones thrown
in for good measure. Underneath La
Poche. at the end Of a French mine,
rested a huss charge of explosives.
That was fired just before the infantry
charged. 1t carried Germans and
sandbags heavenward in cloud two
or three hundred feet high and left
a crater Of at least one hundred feet
depth and $50 feet width.
Trench in Possession.
Any Germans who survived were in
the pail Of dust from the explosion
as the French infantry charged over
the bare space where the barbed wire
had been destroyed by guns which
were given this part of the work to do.
In 10 minutes from the time that the
French infantry left their trenches
they were in full possession of La
Poche.
1T was easy, Monsieur" said a sol
der easier than some much simpler
Notifications which we found later on
Whe re the shells had not fallen so
thick. He rushed in and we looked
arOund-fOr somebody to fight with.
But there was no one. For the most
part there was nothing but the frag-
ments of men; and there were men
lying about trying to apply first aid
bandages and a few stunned unhurt.
What could they do but yield? Those
who sought refuge down that shaft
there were all buried alive: and we
dug out a few who still had the
breath of life in them from that shaft
yonder."
From the highest point of the ruins
one looked right and left along the
front line of German trenches which
had been SO deliberately dug and were
broken half filed bitches as the result
of that terrific concentration of the
gun fire; and the same thing was to
be soon in the region of LOos, where
the British guns had wrought the
same kind of havoc.

SEE NO CHANCE
FOR Mr.. HUGHES
Refusal to Allow Name on Pri-
mary Ballot Held a Handi-
cap by Republicans.

WASHINGTON. Nov 19.-The re-
fusal OF Associate Justice Hughes 10
permit the use of his name on the
Nebraska primary ballot is construed
by republicans here as a self-imposed
handicap that will prevent the former
governor Of New York from being
considered for the republican nOmina-
ton for the presidency. The impress
sion in political circles is that ii ma
terially enhances the prospects of
other active candidates.
Sen. George W. Norris of Nebraska,
one Of the few republican leaders now
in Washington, said Thursday that the
action Of Justice Hughes seemed to
remove him from consideration. Sen.
Norris said:
Il do not see that republicans can
do anything but take Justice Hughes
at his word. He says he will not per-
nit the use Of his name on the Ne
braska petitions or similar petitions.
1t is to be taken for granted that
Justice Hughes is sincere.
Under the circumstances. I do not
see how the friends of Justice Hughes
can do anything but remove him from
consideration"
Sen. Norris said he made this state

ment without reference TO his views
as 10 the construction Of the Nebraska
primary law and the controversy now
pending as 10 whether Justice Hughes
action automatically takes his name
off the Nebraska ballot. Sen. Norris
declined TO comment on this point
which is now being considered by
state officials
Rep. Ernest w. Roberts of Massa-
chusetts said he believed republicans
would be inclined 10 accede 10 Justice
Hughes wishes.
Whether or not republicans favor
the nomination of Justice Hughes -
said Mr.. Roberts, he is entitled to
decline TO be a candidate. and II would
seem he has eliminated himself"
