French Take 13,000 Prisoners.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY.—(By Associated Press.)—General Mangin has won a substantial victory of which there is plenty of evidence in addition to the 13,000 prisoners and 300 guns captured in the past five days. He set out to drive the Germans from the plateau of Andignicourt, Nampoel, and Carlepont by a violent thrust northward, then by a quick facing about to the east drive them off the heights west of the Ailette river, thus clearing the south bank of the Oise and lending support to the third army's action in the hills at Thiescourt. The program succeeded so rapidly that the enemy was entirely driven out and many officers captured when only scantily attired. One German general was caught without either boots or suspenders. The enemy was completely driven from all of the positions attacked.
