ENTIRE DIVISION
IS DECI NJ A I { D
French Machine Guns Now
Down $4,000 Germans
Near Verdun.

PARIS. March 3O.-Nearly an en-
tire division was wiped out by
French machine guns and "75's"
when the Germans attacked the po-
sitions northwest of Verdun yester-
day. The German losses were placed
AZ 10. 600 men.
The fighting around Avocourt
forest and the village of Malancourt
is described in dispatches from the
front as extremely bloody"
From three to seven waves of
German infantry surged toward the
French trenches. At least 10000
men were in the attacking forces.
These were mostly drawn from the
Bavarian corps and the 18th re
serve army corps.
The Germans did not get a chance
to engage the French in hand-tO-
hand fighting as the ranks We're
swept away by the terrific FIRE from
the French machine guns and French
batteries of artillery before they
reached the trenches.
Before the infantry assaults were
begun the French positions were
violently shelled by the Germans
over a five-mile front, but the foot
soldiers attacked along a front only
l 900 yards wide The object Of the
attack was to capture the village Of
Malancourt and HaucOurt in order
TO straighten out the German line
on the left side of the Meuse. De-
bouching from Malancourt woods
the Teutons advanced with fixed
boyanets singing The Watch on the
Rhine" AS the troops moved into
the open all the French batteries
opened and the ground was swept
with a hail Of lead from the rapid
firers. Six assaults we're delivered,
the last two being made after dark
ness had fallen. At one time the
Germans got within so yards Of the
French positions, but this was the
closest they ever were
So severe were the German losses
in this fouT-hour battle that when
the French suddenly attacked their
lines a couple of miles further
south, the Teutons were caught
mapping and were driven from their
positions. one thousand fresh troops
tried TO win back the lost ground,
but failed.
