prisoners.
Puts Down Heavy Barrage.
The American artillery put down q
enemy positions. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top
and rushed the trenches. Some of the
Germans had tried to escape through
the barrage, crashing to their rear,
but few Of them got through. for
later.
Prisoners captured declare that they
had orders to hold on at all costs, and
this was apparent by the desperate
manner in which they fought. The
battle was short. but deadly, for the
Germans. The official report says that
a great many Germans were killed.
One machine gun nest containing
eight men, which had been sprinkling
Cantigny for some days, was blown
up by a direct hit from a trench NOR
tar bomb.
The enemy artillery has been more
active on the Toul sector since the
heavy gassing to which the Ameri-
cans subjected them yesterday The
infantry action has been confined,
however. to an attempted raid. in
which only sixty men participated, in
spite OF the German official state
ment. which said that they had pene-
trated the American lines at Seiche-
prey.
