The correspond ent watched the bombardment from dominating spot whence he could look over the entire crest. Everywhere the French occupy the military crest of the plateau and continually make fur ther small advances and maintain their pressure.

 attackers difficult.

Nothing remains but heap of stones and bricks while all afront on the sharp slopes towarG the crest the ground is as badly holed as that around verdun.

 "Our men marched forward as if go- ing to the theatre"
 One hundred and fifty Frenchmen captured the same number of prisoL- CTS besides inflicting awful losses on the German defenders. The sides of the plateau, which were assaulted and taken later by the French were b..red with tunnels leading to the other side
 of the hill. These tunnels TOW are so many graves in which lie hundreds of German bodies The ends of the tunnels have since be,n brickod up
