Take Prisoners.

troops stormed German trenches and ma
chine gun nests in front of Cantigny, in
the Montddier sector. Those of the Ger

tions at any cost were killed by rifle and
machine gun fire and bayonet. The Amer
leans also took prisoners.
The American artillery put down a
heavy box barage on the rear of the
enemy positions. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top and
rushed the trenches. Some of the Ger
mans had tried to escape through the
barrage, crashing to their rear, but few
of them got through, for numerous dead
were found later.

had orders to hold on at all costs. and
this was apparent by the desperate man
ner in which they fought. The battle was
short but deadly, for the enemy positions
were swept clean of Germans. The Off
