Quarter of Million Rushed

Troops Fall into French Hands.
London, April 20-Germany has
thrown nearly quarter of million
fresh troops into the fray on the sixty
mile sector of the Western front be-
tween Soissons and Auberiye and still
is unable to check the French advance.
Both north of the Aisne and i'm the
Champagne General Nevilles forces
are pressing forward The last strong
hold of the Germans on the Aisne was
taken with the capture of the Vailly
bridgehead and .their wavering lines
continue to be pushed rapidly north
ward.
From Chavonne, on the Aisne, the
French have driven more than three
miles north of the river despite des-
parate resistance by Won Hinden-
herg's reinforced armies.
In the Champagne the successes of
the French are equally striking. They
have driven a great wedge more than
three miles deep into the German lines
between Rheims and Auberive and
late attacks netted General Niyelle's S
men several important heights in the
Moronvilliers region.

British Forces Are Quiet.
The tone of the whole French Off
cial communication is notably conf
dent The complete repulse of every
German attempt at a reaction is un-
eQuivocally claimed and the successes
in the Champagne are mentioned as
having been achieved on a great

While the French are thus driving

far as the official accounts show
awaiting their turn TO strike the other
aank of the Won Hindenburg line.
That notable activities are in prog

aration for the renewal Of the attack
on Lens and St Quentin and the 9th
er threatened points in the line is
certain.
The French have so far taken more
than 1900 prisoners in their often

had taken in excess of $4,000, so that
