duty on the wood pile. The fellows
who get on it call it the "iron wood
pile" because it is very hard.
There will soon be some more pro-
motions as follows: One sergeant
and two corporals, nineteen f1rst-class
privates and corporals will receive
$500 more month, and the first, class
privates $780, so the boys are all
working hard to see VINO can land the
better positions.
Today is election day in Texas, so
all the saloons are closed. The boys
amuse themselves at spare moments
at playing baseball, foot ball, boxing
and writing.
The Baraboo boys wish to send
their best regards to their friends.

Grated into a wild despairing con-
flict around the famous Hill 1876.
Like BraZen Rock.
At first the ruling thought APP
parently was to capture the height
for the sake of the artillery posi-
ton it afforded. Then, however.
a command seemed to come to
take the height no matter at what
cost.
And it did cost them some
thing, for they brought to the
task all their strength and en-
ergy, they suffered annihilating
losses, and left there hecatombs
of victims. BUT ALL IN VAIN.
They were not meant to gain the
hill, and they DID not gain it,,
thanks to the indispensable cour-
age of all the regiments fighting
there.
In this, the most dangerous
spot of all, the guard was placed
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-02-14

into one, and then, by fighting
along the sides, they tried to
unite these two trenches, or else
they used the captured trench as
the spot for a mass attack, which
had as its aim the making of a
breach, thing which the division
attack never tried to do. With
these mass attacks the French
acted according to their well
known scheme for making
breeches; a close line of defence
as guard, q hundred meters be-
hind them companies and col
umns In close mass formation.
These attempts at attack, which
they always used, meant a fearful
loss for them.
Ii is probably no eXaggera-
ton to say that the losses of
an attacking French regi-
ment are 40 to 80 per cent;
prisoners have verified these
estimates. Therefore the
French seldom use the same
regiment twice for making
an attack.
In this matter the mental effect
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-02-14

produced on them by their being
forced to go over the dead bodies
of their comrades may have play
ed a considerable role.
An imprisoned French officer
told us that the effects of our ar
tillery on the separated divisions
had been frightful. He added:
"These attacks cause in
sane slaughter; it is not so
much an attack as a dance
over cemeteries; but we will
keep on doing II until the
French commanders see the
purpOselessness of such II
thing or until we win
through"
And later the commanders
through force of experience, were
brought to this view!
At the beginning of the time
we are considering here the
French attacks were directed
against us mostly at Perthes
middle and left wing of the sew
enth army CORPSE. Then the
French turned somewhat towards
the outermost left wing of the

the place of attack.
And those were not divided
throughout the whole dag, bu
for perhaps one or two hours!
The speed of firing was like
that of a machine gun, excepting
that these were not infantry
shots, but grenades of every cal
ibre.
Drum fire" We called this kind
of artillery fire, and its results
were fearful.
The wire entanglements were
totally destroyed. as If wiped out
the trenches were turned into
flat troughs, the shelters were
broken to pieces, no method OF
fertilization was able to hold out
even for short time against such
fire.
One thing only did hold
out: German discipline, Ger
man faith, German courage!
Whenever such a drum
fire began, there rose from
our mounds a gigantic wall
of smoke, chalf, dust and
fragments of shell, which
cut off the outer world.
Seen from the rear It was
a picture to shudder at.
In addition there was in inter.
mittent rolling, laundering
crashing, which even miles away
sounded like heavy thunder
storm.
1t seemed impossible that any
living thing could endure in that
hell. And If the firing stopped
suddenly or seemed to hesitate
and French infantry attack fol.
lowed, then out of the hollows
from half-destroyed shelters
from torn sacks of sand, oul
brave musketeers, grenadiers, OF
fusiliers rose. fixed their weap-
ons, wiped the dust from theii
eyes, and repealed the attack.
And not only once, but dozens
of times did they do this!
Build Nests Rapidly
But If 1t CHANGED that one OF
our trenches under fire was
emptied In order to diminish ouI
losses, sometimes a French in
fantry attack under protection OF
the artillery carried the empty
trench, especially since there was
no longer any hindrance.
Then straightway our brave
men in field-gray leaped out OF
the nearest trenches with bayou
cts and hand grenades fixed for
attack, and nearly always threw
out the enemy with heavy losses
or killed them.
