Parls, April 20.--A charge by a regiment of French infantry over a network of strongly fortified trench- es, which resulted in the gain of a thousand yards at Bois Jaune Brules, near Mesnil-le-Hurlus, is described by an eye-witness in an official state- ment issued by the War Office. The French attack was prepared by sap- pers, who dug into the first line of trenches and annihilated the oeccup- ants, with hand grenades. The three who survived-were made prison ers. "The Germans, surprised, were unable to defend their front," says the eye-witness, "and the French ad- vance guard was installed in the first line. = A ge attack follewed | to hand, and few shots were fired.
