IIRIIIilN, Feb. r. The peculiar char
acter of the fighting now going on at
the forest of Argonne is illustrated in
(lie following letter from a soldier.
"The two companies forming our
right wing had been lying for five days
only 30 to !>0 yards from the enemy
along a distance of nearly 200 yards.
In front of our company to the left
was a little valley, on the opposite
slope of which the French had in
trenched themselves in three lines of
pits, one lying above the other, and
this front was generally regarded as
impregnable. We therefore had a de
tachment of Prussian sappers and mi
ners, which was assigned to our lines,
to tunnel under the three French
trenches in order to blow them tip.
The explosion was really intended to
go off on the anniversary of the hat
tic of Chanipignv (Nov. 30), but the
sappers said that they had not yet
enough isnuff" in their holes. There
was danger that the French would

LONDON. Feb. 5- Men of businesi
with a ready eye to changing condi

A prominent hardware manufactur

undermine us and blow us into the
air first. Finally on December 1
■ everything was ready. At —places
lay — pounds of dynamite under the
French trenches.
"AT 10:30 all our front trenches
were evacuated, hut we masked this
; movement to deceive the French. At
11:21 a lieutenant of pioneers pressed
i his thumb on a button, and there was
a terrific crash. One might have
thought the whole earth was falling
■ to pieces. From my position I saw
• a cloud of earth probably over GOO
feet high. After about a minute
, something like a mighty tempest
broke lose in the woods. 1 did not
know what it was until something
struck my skull, then 1 knew it was a
rain of dirt and stones which had
been thrown up by the explosion. I
1 darted into our bombproof, where I
stayed for two minutes. Meanwhile
our two companies pressed forward
and occupied the gap that had been
broken in the French lines. The
■ first trench was full of dead and bur
■ ied Frenchmen. In the two next
they were so dazed that they sur
. rendered without resistance,
i “Within half an hour we had taken
: prisoners the dwellers in all these
trenches, so far as they were still
alive. Among them there were eight
I officers and 37X privates who had not
• been wounded. The rest, including
, two officers, had been buried under
> the debris. We captured three mine
' throwers. Our total losses were only
: three killed and seven wounded.
“A soldier must have luck'. The
• captured French pioneers told us nf
i terwards that they had mined our
t trenches at eight points, and were go
ing to blow us up at G p. m.. not yet
I having finished putting in the charg
) es. When we examined our trench
- es we found these mines. So we had
, a lucky escape that time. The high

s praise to our achievement. Even
the Crown Prince sent automobiles
1 with 200 blankets and a bottle of wine
for each of us. What more could a
I- soldier's heart want. Such are the
- tricks that wo are playing here.”
