STORY OF BATTLE
REVEAL
BAYONET
AS MAIN FACTOR
PAKIS, Sept. '23. "Infantry at
tacks bpjrnn nt noon Saturday," naid
n soldier wounded hi the Clinnipn'iK'
fighting, in deseribinfr the operations
which resulted in nn important gnin
for the French. "My regiment, was
ncting ns n support. For threo tiny
our artillery had been making nn up
imlling din by day anil night. 1 guns
hurled shells without respite.
"We infantrymen, wniting for thn
end of it, began to get impatient. Sat
urday wo ato heartily at 11 o'clock
and then looked over our anus. Fin
ally nt noon our chiefs showed 'for
ward.' Wo started like men possess
ed. With n single hound we were nut
of the trenches. It was pretty hot in
front of us.
Trench Filled Willi Ikwl
"The boys who had gono ahead
were doing good work and nlrendy
were beyond the German trenches. Wu
reached them in our turn at tho dou
ble. The trenches were filled up to
tho brim with German bodies. Fur
ther on wo snw enormous craters in
which many Germans had been buried
by falling earth. Hero and thcro a
boot protruded and we tugged t them
to bco if any were living, but there
were none alive. Wo didn't slop long,
but pushed on.
'To our right wo saw n strong en
emy contingent bheltercd in a pit with
machine guns. They didn't Inst long,
for wo fell on 'them with tho bayonet.
It was a pretty stiff bit of fencing.
Seeing themselves dono for, the sur
vivors held up their hnnds. Some,
however, although prisoners, still
fired at us. My left hand was pierc
ed by n revolver bullet fired point
blank by an nrlillcrymnn. My cap
tain knocked him down and sat on
his clieht."
KtuiH'flcri by Artillery
All of tho wounded men who have
arrived hero wero covered from head
to feet with chalky mud. Most of
them were wenrihg tho new light steel
helmets which they declared had sav
ed thousands of lives. Ono who had
no helmet and whoo head was cut by
a glancing machine gun bullet, said:
"In tho thickest of tho infantry at
tack 1 arrived with my company at
tho German artillery positions. Gun
ners, iiii.cd up with infantrymen, hud
tlliyl around the piece. All of them
surrendered. Oar artillery had com
pletely stupefied them."

ATTACK OF ALLIES
FULLY REPULSED
HHIIM.V, Sept. 2R. Tho Germans
not only havo stopped the general of
fensive of tho allies on tho western
front, but by counter attacks havo
gained considerable territory for
thomsclvcs, according to today's offi
cial statemcnt'by army headquarters.
Tho text of tho statement follews:
"Western theater: Tho enemy con
tinued yesterday his nttompts to
break through our lines without
achieving any result. On tho con
trary he suffered In many places very
considerable losses, besides bringing
us nn appreciable gain In territory.
Territory (lalncd
"Our counter nttacks resulted In
our capturing SO officers nnd 7f0
men, Increasing tho number of pris
oners taken In this territory to 3397
men, Including a number of officers.
Mo additional machine guns wero
captured.
"At Soucho , Angres nnd Iloclln
court, and also along tho entlro front
from tho Champogno to tho Argonno,
attacks by tho French wero repulsed
without n break.
"In tho roglon of Sounln tho enemy
actually brought forward masses of
cavalry, showing n romnrkablo lack
of appreciation ot tho situation. Nat
urally many of thorn wero shot down
nnd tho othors forced to flee as quick
ly ns possible
ICnemy Illttuii Vp
"During tho ropulso of theso at
tacks tho Saxon rcscrvo regiment nnd
tho troops of tho Frankfort-on-Maln
division especially distinguished
themselves.
"In tho Argonno n small advanco
was mado on our part to Improvo our
position at La Flllo Morto. Tho movo
mont brought us tho desired result,
besides securing for us as prisoners
four officers and 250 men,
"On tho hill nt Combreo tho enemy
positions wero blown up nnd blocked
up yesterday and tho day beforo by
extensive mlno explosions."
GERMAN ADVANC
E
PHTUOKAD, Sept. 28. WJillo tho
Russians havo had a series ot Import
ant tactical successes along almost
tch entlro front, military authorities
hero lay stress upon tho greater suc
cess of tho French and English tn
their new cnmpalgn, calculating It to
bo equivalent to thrco Ocrninn army
corps thrown out of nctlvo servlco by
Russia's western allies. Tho authori
ties ovpect that tho Anglo-French In
itiative will spoil tho Herman plans
both as regards Russia and Serbia.
Tho Russians hnvo mado gains of
ground nt sovoral points which ordl
nnrlly would bo regarded as consid
erable, but they aro not allowing
their attention to bo distracted from
Dvlnsk which tho Germans contlnuo
to attack with energy nnd tho Rub
Blans defend with equal determina
tion. Small German gains In tho last
fight wore neutralized by splendid
trench work during tho night by
which tho Russians wero nblo to con
front their adversaries In tho morn
ing with n strong front. Tho num
bers of dead on tho flold nttested tho
seriousness of tho German losses.
Tho German operations In tho di
rection of Riga aro regardo dhcro ns
demonstrations Intended to tntcrforo
with tho reinforcement of tho Rus
sian positions nt Dvlnsk with troops
from the Riga region.
Tho general Impression caused by
tho latest roports from this front Is
that tho Russians nro fighting bril
liantly, steadily nnd confidently and
that their supplies of ammunition nro
bolnc doHvcrcd In adequoto quantl
ties, whllo tho Germans apparent!
lnck tho force to. execute their nwcop
Ing plans. Tho authorities horo direct
attention to certain details In tho ro
ports ns Indicating that tso Gcrnini
efforts aro becoming sporadic.
