PARIS, Aug. 15—Reports of the
most heroic apt that has possibly
been reported'- during this war
comes from the Verdun front. A
French sergeant with forty caval-
rymen were defending a salient
that projected into the German
trenches during the hardest attafck
of the war. These heroes stood
their ground not only against two
companies of “shock” German
chine guns and a sea of flame be-
sides being, subjected to awful ar-
tillery fire.
They were finally driven out of
the position and started to retreat
but had retired only a short dis-
tance when the sergeant noticed a
perceptible diminution in the force
of the German stack and ordered
the remnant nf his troops to at-
tack the invaders. This they did
and retook all the ground besides
taking 200 yards more ground.
They accounted for two full com-
panies of German troops and when
the battle was over twenty of the
immortal forty were alive and able
to fight.

by the German forces. The British
forces also made advances on the out- j
skirts of the cemetery over a front of

The gains are important and great-

REGARDED AS IMPREGNABLE.
British guns had been pounding for
days on Hill 7(1, which the Germans
j considered to be impregnable. Infantry
I attacks were begun at 4:25 o’clock this
morning.
- The capture of Hill 70 ranks in itn-
potrance with the biggest operations
of the year. It was the last dominat-
mans and from its po-session a
territory can be controlled.
