Paris, April 4.-A vivid description f the capture by the French of the summit of -lartmanns-Weilerkopf, a peak of the Vosges mountains (a few miles north of Thann), is given in an oillcial war oflice communication to day. Tho occupation of the height was announced March 27. The final phases of the struggle for, this im portant strategic point are thus pic tured by the French military observ er: "A small number of soldiers who reached the summit early in January and estlblished a Iosition in a small fort were forced to surrender on ac count of starvation, notwithstanding many continued efforts of their con rades to succor them. All the troops were now aroused by a spirit of re venge and wore only too eager for the attack. During the remander of January and February siego opera tions were carried out and on March 5 an assault was made. The Ger man trenches were subjected to heavy artillery fire and our men captured the strongest German block houses and a portion of tho first line of trenches. The enemy made four vigor ous counterattacks but was repulsed by our forces. "On March 23 the greatest effort was made under cover of the tremendous cross fire from our 'blacc mouths' can non of all calibre, including many rapid firers. These could be seen fall ing and also portions of German bodies flying high in air. Our infantry made a heroic charge, pouring like a living stream into the two lines of trenches under a wall of fire. "Violent German counterattacks were not sulilcient to drive out our men, who continued to look forward to the other lines of German fortifica tions. "The night of March 23 passed with out counterattacks and the morning dawned without the usual fog, allowing a splendid opportui ty for our artil lery. "A general bombardment was be gun by our artillery at 10:30 o'clock, contimting itnil 2:30 an(I sweeping ev erything before it.
