Of US escaped in the face OF the terrible
French guns"

and Fifth regiment OF German infantry,
belonging to the sCth division attacked.
A prisoner taken from this unit, says:
Ranks Moved Down.
Three OF our battalions went to as
sault the Chauffeur woods. We advanced
unmolested till wit n a stones throw Of
our objective, when French machine guns
opened on our flank We stopped, sur
prised, for a fatal instant: then rank
after rank fell under the deadly stream
Of bullets until, panic-stricken, our sur
vivors turned and fled in disorder in
ever! direction, leaving the ground
heaped with dead and dying comrades. -
Another prisoner, from the Twenty
fourth regiment Of infantry, gave this
description OF the attack against the
woods east Of Dououmont fort on Febr-
uary -:
We succeeded in penetrating the skirts
Of the wood, but could not progress a
step further, so fierce was the machine
gun fire which moved Us down on every
side. We had been taken under an sd-
mirably well-directed cross-fire and were
forced to retreat preCipitately. but we
paid an awful price. Two-thirds Of our
electives fell"
