j-How Chilly was taken from the Ger
mans in one brilliant dash by French
regiments was related today to a COR
respondent Of the Associated Press,
when he visited that position.
The artillery preparation was unre-
Ientine, lasting for two days. Scarcely
even the foundation Of a wall remain
ed standing at Chilly, where the Ger
mans had massed their strength under
ground.
Then the French, who had assembl-
ed in the most advanced dugouts.
dashed out. The first wave cleared
the German front line, in which Ger
mans had retaken their places after
the artillery had ceased to fire, and
they were able to emerge from their
burrows. They were all killed or cap
tured.
The wave OF French then partly
crept and partly ran to the second
German line and the second wave OF
French troops advanced to occupy the
first German line.
Bayonet Fighting.
Meanwhile. from somewhere under
ground, a large body Of Germans came
between with machine guns and sTen-
ades. The French hesitated. but were
not stayed. They bayoneted some of
the Germans the rest Of whom hsap-
peared into a tunnel.
The French then built q sand bag re-
doubt around the. tunnel and waited.
The first French wave went on and
took the second and third German
lines within Chilly itself.
Then the tunnel again began to dis
gorge German troops. whose exit was
brought to an end by French detach-
ment.
Germans Of an unknown number
were still in the tunnel in the rear For
eighteen hours they held out until q
them their line had been passed. More

with an 1s-inch railroad track running
from beginning to end.
Inside were sleeping quarters, NUM-
tion depots, an infirmary with the
most modern instruments. fresh water
wells, tons Of equipment, electric lights
and ventilation pipes.
The entrance of the tunnel was
toward Mauscourt, the exit in the CEN

German commandant;s apartments of
several rooms. with painted walls,
solid doors. chairs, tables, beds and a
telephone system. This position now
is in the hands Of the French.

He hugs himself for the wisdom

factor in the present campaign. But
he does not explain why there was
such Il depression upon the country
when that war was sprung. We were
threatened by no war; no pestilence
WAS raging; the harvest was boun-
[iful one. Why should we have been
threatened by great panic at that

Was it not because the assaults
