French attackers came specially trained battalions of poilus, who seized the en trances to caverns and blocked them ef fectually with machine guns, grenades and powerful explosives. How Prisoners were Taken. They literaly wailed up beneath the ground, in vast and intricate under ground galleries, ' the huge reserves which the Germans had massed there. This fact alone accounts for the enor mous and almost unprecedented number of German prisoners taken a number out of proportion under previous army tactics to the width of the front over which the French made their gains. The capture of Fort Malmaison was perhaps the most brilliant of the man euvers of the assault. For weeks preced ing the attack four regiments which had been chosen for Fort Malmaison re hearsed their plan of battle. They were letter perfect iu their parts. Just before the move was made on the powerful fort, giant guns rained tons of shells in to it. Then, while one of the French regiments assaulted the position from the front, the three others encircled it. The combined drive of the four, carried out with the precision of men drilled to every motion, completely smashed the picked second guard division. Plans Fully Carried Oat Although the attack was launched at 5 a. m., and in complete darkness ex cept for the flashes of the guns, the entire battle plan, capture of subter ranean forces, Malmaison and all, were executed on clockwork schedule.
