HOUAUMONT'S FALL

officer in the following words:
"We had to combat detachments of
the enemy that had slipped inside the
fort with machine guns and revolving
cannon. At the same time we had to
watch over a winding Tavipe opening
near the church Of Douaumont through
which the Germans might get through.
We thus had to look two ways while
we were nearly blinded with smoke and

supreme sacrifice.
"The battalion had had the mission
of defending the village at no matter

with several of its machine guns out of
action, the til company fell upon
masses which were menacing the left

the thick ranks before them and strew-
ed the ground with German dead. Re

by the weight of numbers.

Eighty of them fell on the field under
the fire of single machine gun. The
rest fed. That gun continued firing I'M

village, decimating numerous groups.
Position Is Reestablished
"During the night we reestablished
our position facing East, and the Ger
mans fortified themselves in the village.
Every attempt they made to debouch
during the morning of March ended
in more slaughter. At four CLOCK in
the afternoon our own heavy artillery
took Douamont for target, and the ex-
ecution it worked there, plainly visible
to our men, compensated our reverse
of the preceding day. At nightfall two
battalions of neighboring regiments
lined up for the counter-attack and
opened violent fusillade. Cheers rang
through the air from all sides in answer
to the order: Forward with fixed
bayOnets. More cheers and choruses
OF the Marseillaise greeted the news
that soon came back that the two bat
talions had thrown the Germans out of
the village and carried our line some

800 German dead lay in front of our

hours before our thinncd ranks was
