Paris,-A brilliant success for the
French army is recorded in the off,
cial communication. An important
French advance has been made
against powerful opposition along the
road from Scissors to Laon, over an
extent of nearly four miles. French
troops have captured all the plateau
in the neighborhood Of Cerny and
Craonne and the hills dominating the
valley of the Ailette river. The num-
Der OF prisoners captured was $500.
After repulsing German counter at
tacks from Fresnoy southwark to the
southern corner of the Hindenburg
line at Laon and farther eastward
toward the Champagne district, the
British and French troops in France
are holding the majority of the posi-
tions gained and are making some
small progress against desperate re-
sistance.
Some of the German attacks were
broken up by artillery and others
were driven off after hsnd-to-hand in
fantry fighting. One Of the most VIC
lent German attempts was an assault
on Craonne and the positions near it.
taken by the French on the previous
day, but the assault broke down with
great losses. Progress was made by
the French east of Mont Carnillet and
by the British north of Havrincourt
wood.
B%ullecourt continues a center of
most intense battle with alternate ad'
vance and retirement on both sides.
South of that point the British have
bombed their way into German
trenches of the Hindenburg switch
toward Queant. Artillery fighting is
intensive along the Aisne front.
The outcome of the contradictory
situation in Russia, where mobs have
denounced members of the provisional
government, remains puzzling. Chief
developments in Petrograd Saturday
were the adoption by the council Of
workmen's and soldiers delegates of
vote of confidence in the government
and the forbidding of all meetings Of
armed demonstrations for two days
The troops in Petrograd were ordered
to remain in their barracks. Premier
Lvoff and Foreign Secretary Milukof
have declared that the government
willy resign rather than recall the not
sent May Day to the entente govern
: ments, assuring them Russia woul'
prosecute the war vigorously.
