CONTINUOUS.

London, April 23.-Battling all along
the wide front from Scissors to Aube-
rive in the Champagne, the armies of
General Nivelle continue to close up
the Laon salient, pressing the Ger
man relentlessly up the Craonne pla-
teau, extending their positions in the
dip toward Rheims, and to the east
ward thrusting out upon the hill tops
around Moronvillers.
The continual increase of prisoners
expresses the French success as well
as the steady gain of territory. More
than 10000 Germans have been cap.
tured since April 16, and more than
100 guns.

Berlin admits that Hindenburg has
given up the defense of the north bank
of the Aisne from Conbe, occupied by
the French Thursday, to Soupir. How
