FRIDAY EVENING,
CURTAIN OF FIRE AT TAKING
OF THIEPVAL RIDGE HEAVIEST
SINCE START OF SOMME DRIVE
With the British Army In France,
Aug. 22, via London, Aug. 2 3.—The
artillery commander drew ills patent,
curtain of fire and never in all the
seven weeks of the Somme battle has
the correspondent witnessed anything
equal to the "show," us officers call
every action in the taking of one of
the spurs of Thiepval ridge.
Ever since July 1, whefi the British
failed in their effort to storm it, Thiep
val ridge has glared at the British,
who had kept hammering with gun
fire. The Germans seem to set the
saras store by it as they did by the
heights of Glnchy and Guillemont, on
their other flank.
In front of the position conquered
yesterday the British infantry had
been decimated by machine gun fire
on July 1. The trenches were just
as strong as then, with deep dugouts,
the result of two years' building. Pris
oners taken early in the offensive said
the British never could obtain a foot
hold on that ridge. Those taken who
had been at Verdun said they suffered
nothing there ;it all equivalent to the
deluge of British shells and that it was
impossible for human being to endure
such tornadoes.
On a thousand-yard front both the
first German line and the support
trench was taken. One pair of eyes
could not see more detail than the
correspondents saw yesterday. The
British and Germans engaged were
outlined as clearly as a play around
the second base could be seen from a
grandstand. A home company of the
national guard doing skirmish drill in
camp could not be more distinct when
seen from the side lines. It was the
very finesse of war. With the clear
air of a bright afternoon sun over his
shoulder, one looked across the tiny
valley toward a slope. There the bare
ground was cut with the slash of a

new British trench, and beyond that,
across an area of dead grass and
wavy maise, was the old first line Ger
man trench.
Own Shells Just Overhead
Now out of the British trench ap
peared a row of khaki-tinted mush
rooms, the steel helmets the British
soldiers wear, then their heads and
shoulders and full forms as the charge
went over the parapet. Every man
was in full equipment with all its de
tails visible,-every figure uniform with
all others to the last item, as they
moved across the field of dead grass
briskly and steadily. No ominous,
wicked staccato of German machine
guns coming into action was heard.
No machine gunner could live at his
post in that trench.
The British line opened to go around
shell craters or other obstacles and
then closed up. Occasionally a figure
dropped and w r as lost in the grass.
Right into the face of that curtain of
death from shells going only a few
feet over their heads they were mov
ing. Then, suddenly as it was laid,
the curtain of shell fire lifted. Not
a single shell out of the~thousands had
burst short.
Now the British were going over the
German parapet with their bayonets
glistening in the sun. As they de
scended into the trench the earth
seemed to have swallowed them up.
Little clouds of smoke from bursting
bombs rose from the trench. Then
was hot work proceeding, out of sight
in the burrows.
Crumple Under Fire
One after another, as though they
were coming to the top of stairs, heads
and shoulders appeared out of the
trench. Each German had his hand 3
up and in file the prisoners moved
past a Briton standing on the parapet.
These Germans, who had not waited
to be bombed out of their dugouts,
but had surrendered, came legging
it at top speed back toward the British
first line trenches.
What about the Germans who had
fled back toward the German support
trench? A light machine gun the Brit
ish had put up rattled into their back.
Ahead of them was the British curtain
of fire, now lifted onto the German
support trench. They seemed to dis
appear into the earth, some shot
down, some wounded, others seeking
security in shell craters. Few will
survive. One figure alone holds the
stage for a fraction of a minute there
in that lifeless space around them.
Tall and bold, a German officer stands
up on the edge of a communication
trench and looks around. He goes
down abruptly as if he had been hit a
hard blow back of the knees.
Prisoners Come Smiling
Now British helmets rise from the
German first line and start on with
another charge to the German support
trench. They will clean up any Ger
mans lying in shell craters on the way.
They grow dim with distance and in
the fading light, but they get there.
They have the support trench, their
signals say. And that bunch of run
ning German prisoners coming toward
the British rear as fast as they can is
enveloped in some shellburst. The
German curtain of fire is now being
laid on the old first line British trench
area, which explains why all the pris
oners taken do not reach the collec
tion stations alive. Those seen fairly
out of range of shell fire were smiling
and seemed much relieved.
"They will have a good, square meal
over in the camp by that clump of
trees to-night," said the general, "and
they have been under fire for the last
time in this war."
Walking with them were the British
wounded, also smiling.
