LONDON, April 10.-The French.
with the capture of Les Esparges,
have obtained one of the main OBJ
jects of their advance to the east of
verdun. The position of Les Esparges
dominates the plains of the Woevre.
and its occupation by the French is
announced officially.
Progress from Verdun means heav-
ier pressure on the northern flank of
the Germans holding ST. Mihiel. while
the southern flank is threatened by the
French advance between Pont-a-Mous-
sen and the Meuse.
In the southern part of the field of
operations the Germans aro delivering
almost constant counter attacks. They
have made Is assaults on one point.
1t is evident the French are not only
attempting to capture st. Mihiel, which
has always been a danger point since
the wedge was driven into the line of
the allies, but are at the same time
seeking to aid Russia by preventing
the withdrawal of German corps for
the relief of the hard pressed Aus
trian and German forces in the Car
pathians.
Rumors that Austria is about to con-
clude separate peace grow in num-
Der and persistency every day These
are accompanied by evidences that
Italy Is showing increasing uneasiness
over the situation.
