RENCH ADVANGE AT VERDUN NETS 0,000 PRISONERS (Continued from First Page.) fmont and north of Vaux, and, if pos- Esible, the village of Besonvaux, most 1of whose houses are in the Woevre. ETi11 fhe French could see them The church of this village is on the southern slopes of Hill 329, upon the other side of which lies the village of Ornes, one of the first towns c ried by the Germans at the begin- ning of their victoricus advance. Little Resistance Shown. Promptly at 10 a. m., the five at- tacking divisions, cach of which cov- ered a front of one and one-quarter miles, advanced behind the reen fire of guns all calibr They swarmed rapidly into the German trenches. The troops in these positions, the sud- denness of the ed com- paratively littlc In tho village 'where the Germ had installed a gquantity of machine guns, the struggle was sharp, but none the less short. [More to the east the French forma- tions charged the slopes of Pepper hill, carrying all before them. As they rusheéd to the attack the soldiers cheered, ang from time to time the “Marseillai roared by the strong- roated polius could be heard above e chorus of the cannons. With Vacherauville and Pepper lost, it became evident to the Germans that resistance would be fu- tile, and they retired in fairly good order. 'On the Vacherauville-Beau- mont road, however, Frer troops ddenly appeared in the rear of the ermans. The French had crept along small ravine running from Pepper i1l to this road. On seeing: the ench, the Germans bolted, throw- g away rifles, knapsacks and pouches. rom the top of the hill running d, shouting with joy, they dashed fter them. Half an hour later the ench reached the extremity of the ouvemont crest, close to the village pf the same name. There they joined hands with the formations which had arted from Haudremont Wood and had progressed almost as rapidly hlong the eastern side of Pepper hill pnd the Brash-Louvemont road. ouvemont was stormed out of hand nd a large contingent of prisoners was rounded up. By this time the ermans were surtendering freely long the line and the communication trenches were filled with prisoners oing to the rear. East of Louvemont another division eached the Louvemont-Azerine road gouth of the angle formed by this road t the southeastern horn of Fosses wood a sharp tussle took place for Ipossession of Hill 372 but here again he Germans went down before the igorous efforts of their assailants, abandoning the ground and leaving any dead and several hundred prisoners. The advance swept on over [Eill 372 as far as Chambrettes farm at the other edge of Fosses wood, and arried it. Northeast of Douaumont the 'ad- vance of the French was equally rapid he wood, Bache and the HaSsouel land Hardaumont position were car- ried successfully. Hardaumont work, ompletely demolished by shell fire, lcould give no spirit to the German ‘ormations, which fell back upon it in disorder. All the woods north of the fwork were occupied by the French, fwho pushed on as far as the village of Bezonvaux. Bverywhere the French had shown Eplendid form and nothing could Btop them. Nothing went wrong to interfere with their plans. By 11 p'clock twenty guns had fallen into %the hands of the French; by moon, Jforty guns; by 5 o’clock 75 had been icounted, exclusive of those destroyed. Having accomplished the task sot for him, General Mangin, profiting by the “disorganization of the German ranks caused by the abrupt attack, gent out exploring parties evervwhere with instructions to destroy as many guns as possible and come back to the mewly conquered lines when their work was done. These scouting parties acted promptly and accom- plished much. They put out of action most of the guns north of Vacherau- wille and Louvement, and in Fosses &nd Caurieres woods, The French front now follows Iine running from the north of Vach- erauville along the Vacherauville- WVille-Devant-Chaument road to the extremity of the Louvemont crest, passes on the cther side of Louvemont along the fronge of Fosses wood, then before, Chambrettes and, crossing Caurieres wood, goes to the north of Bezonvaux. South of this village and &s far as Vaux the new line follows ap- proximately the Bezonvaux-Damloup road. The positions fwere lost on February of s of Vacherauville, captured yeSterday 25.
