french FORCES (HEERED
BY ENEMY PRISONERS
AHstrians Voice Hate for Germans
After Battle in Monte
Tomba Sector.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY. Wednesday. jan
uary 2.-The French in their recent
successful operation on Monte Tomba
captured more prisoners than they had
men engaged, according to veteran
officer. who witnessed the fight From
the top of a nearby hill he saw the
French attack and afterward saw the
prisoners, guns and booty brought in.
1T was a record making fight in many
respects" he declared. Just think. the
French took more prisoners than they
had men engaged, which Is among the
records in military annals They also
captured their first Austrian prisoners.
which is another milestone for them.
as heretofore they had captured only
Germans
In. addition to the AGO prisoners we
counted $50 dead on the ground and no
one knows how many more were In the
caverns and under the bushes. The per-
feet French military system enabled
them to accomplish this with insignifi-
cant losses--iess than Atty men.
First Clash With French.
The 5oth Austrian division. which
was the one attacked. is considered a
good fighting organization. But the
Austrians were accustomed to fighting
Russians and Rumanians-this was the
first time they had met the highly
trained French troops. The result was
that rawness and indiscipline were
swept away before discipline and
training.
When tho prisoners were brought in
1 never saw a more miserable, pitiful.
starved lot of soldiers They looked
like the riff-raff from the slums Of
some Dig city Even the officers ap-
peared underfed and underciothed. and
| saw only one with whole pair of
breeches.
When the officers were lined up there
were forty-two Austrians and two Ger
mans The Austrfans were told thex
would receive the usual treatment
given officers and gentlemen. but the
two Germans were told plainly that
they would receive exactly the same
treatment given French offers in Ger
many. The group Of Austrian officers
were impressed greatly at this and
openly declared their hatred of the Ger
mans.
"A little later we heard the Austrian
soldiers cheering and it turned out they
We're cheering their French captors
Ihe success shows the necessity for
framed troops. as unframed troops
couid not possibly have secured such
results 1t was exactly the same as
getting 10 per cent on your money in
stead of per cent.
Go Beyond objectives.
The spirit and enthusiasm of the
french troops as they leaped into the
enemy trenches is beyond all praise.
fheir earnestness not only carried r;,em
INTO the trenches. but actually far be-
yono them; Some detachments kept on
gong until they reached the upper
PiaVe. back of the lines held by tbe
enemy. They found deserted villa ges
and little evidence of enemy occuDa-
ton and could have held this advanced
POSITION back of the enemy lines. But
would have necessitated reorganizine .
defenses. so the impetuous detachments
were ordered to retire. But it showed
what enthusiasm can do in forcing a
Wedge straight through the Austrian
