Artillery Takes Brilliant Part

y Hun Lines.
BIG GUNS OPEN WAY
FOR INFANTRY RUSH
German Trenches Penetrated
Nree-Quarters of Mile

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 14-By the AS
Sociated press-The American artillery
took brilliant part in an important
French raid yesterday between Tahurc
and the Butte du Mcsnil, in the Cham
pagnc, participating in the preparatory
Commandment and the ensuing barrage
fire, while the operation was being sue
cessfuily executed.
The action was extremely interest
ing and the result most satisfactory.
The assaulting troops brought back 160
prisoners and they established them
selves in German positions to depth
of three quarters of a mile along II
front Of nearly mile.
Hard Piece Of Work.
The task of the assaulting forces
was to attack and take German sa-
lient dipping into the French position.
1t. was Il difficult operation, owing to
the nature Of the ground, which formed
a basin-like depression, into which the
Germans could pour the fire of their
concentrated guns on the surround
ing heights.
The artillery preparation lasted six
hours. and with the aid of aviators, it
was ascertained that the enemy's de-
fensive positions. which We're remark
ably strong. had been broken up to a
large extent. At AIS in the afternoon
the order was given to the infantry
units to go over the top. Every man
had been instructed fully regarding the
objcctives to be attained.
Show Dissemination.
Just before this a steady fine rain
began to make the chalky earth like
"a skating rink. The troops, however,
advanced with determination, although
they were obliged occasionally to arrest
their progress owing to machine gun
positions having escaped the attention
of the French and American gunners.
With the help of the courageous
grenadiers these positions We're stormed
and destroyed and their occupants were
either killed or captured. BY 5:l5
O'Clock rockets announced that all the
detectives had been gained.
The American gunners with their
French comrades, extended their range,
putting up an effective barragc to pre-
vent counter attacks, which, however,
did not come. the Germans having been
completely disconnected.
