HOW FORT DOUAUMONT
WAS TAKEN
BY Pac. ana !ntI News Service.

BY Pac. ana !ntl News Service.
BERLIN. March 28.-A correspond
ent sends the following description of
the capture of Fort Douaumont, the
first important success of the Germans
in their gigantic offensive against
Verdun:
"Threateningly the long bare ridge
of Douaumont rises above the sur
rounding wooded heights. The ridge
is two and one-half miles long and
covered with no less than fourteen
separate forts which command the
heights and valleys in all directions.
The steep approaches of the hill are
guarded by small but very strong for
tifications and on the summitl 1850
feet above the plain, an enormous
modern armored fort, the strongest of
the eastern defenses of Verdun. domi-
mates the district.
ITO take this fortress Was no easy
matter. but our giant guns which on
the day before had cleared the woods
east of the ridge of the enemy
smashed the Notifications in the same
way as those of Liege and Namur
were smashed in the first weeks of
the war. For twelve hours an indie
scribablc hail of shells of all sizes was
showered upon the forts and when
most OF the French guns had been
silenced the twenty.four Brandcnburli
Infantry Regiment received orders to
| storm the heights.
THE resistance of the defenders
was but feeble. although their bravery
is praised by every German officer
and soldier. They were too dazed by
/ the terrible bombardment to fight eff.
/ tectively. In remarkably short time
+ the attacking regiment reached to
main fort on the summit with very
/ small Losses. Only eighteen OF the
heroic Brandenburgers were killed and
about sixty wounded.
After their retreat from the ridge
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-03-28
the French quickly regained their

the French quickly regained their
composure. They counterattacked
with the greatest daring. but were re-
pulsed again and again with heavy
losses. The Brandenburgers found 1t
harder to hold the fortress than to
capture II.
Three days and nights they were
under an awful fire of the French
guns on the heights further west and
sou;;.. Their situation had become
desperate when the big German howit-
GERS finally succeeded in silencing the
batteries of the enemy and a strong
new attack pushed the lines Of the
French infantry further back. so as TO
end the unceasing counter attacks.
After four days of terrific fighting
the height with its entire chain of for
tifications was firmly in German
hands.
THE capture of the fort was one
of the most glorious achievements of
the war. but the methods employed
differed vastly from those used in the
early stages of the war. No large
bodies of troops were thrown against
the stronghold in close formation to
be moved down by the fire OF the
enemy. The artillery did practically
all the work and the infantry only
scaled the height after thousands of
shells had demolished the fortiiica-
tons and demoralized the defenders.
This explains the small German
losses. All preparations had been
made 20 carefully and the operations
were carried out so methodically that
it was not necessary to sacrifice any
large number of men. The hysterical
Frer"h reports about the alleged ter
rible havoc caused by their guns and
the mountains of German bodies are
pure inventions.
