CAPTURE OF HARTMANNSWEILERKOPF.

FRENCH EYE-WITNESS'S AC-

COUNT.

TERRIFIC FRENCH ARTILLERY

FIRE,

THE GERMANS DEMORALISED

Paris, April 4

A French eye-witness, describing the capture of Hartmannsweilerkopf, says our artillery swept the German position at the summit for four hours unceasingly, with appalling accuracy. Bodies of Gorman's were hurled from the trenches, and trees mown down. The shells made large craters, and the position was chaotic. Cries of agony came from the wrecked German shelters, and the ammunition stores exploded The enemy fled demoralised.
