trench mortars were captured from the

before, and when the Germans counter
attacked their own weapons were used
against them effectively. one German

thirty men being left.
A German officer who was taken pr.s-
oner reported that his regiment was
drilling far behind the lines when he
suddenly received an order to attack
He said that at first it was impossible 70

rate fire from the American artillery

OF eight or ten. got through with light
machine guns. These were immediately
stopped bys the American fire, and a
platoon commander was sent back tc
report that 1t was impossible to get
through and to ask for reinforcerents
These were refused, he said, and tbs
messenger came back with further orders
to take the American machine guns or
