THE GREAT OFFENSIVE."

German Boasta.

London, April 21,

A wireless German oficial message says:—A ̈gradual, increase in artillery Bring, between Loos and the Arras Cambrai railway line continues. Troops, representing all the German people, are performing heroic deeds hourly" under the heaviest "fire, with faithful endurance even to death. On the mighty battlefields of the Aime and in Champagne our thrusting troops yesterday at noon cleared out the enemy from what was formerly a sugar factory. We repulsed with severe losses Franco-Russians on the Brimont. The French stubbornly attacked near Braye from the Paisey Plains as far as to the east of Craonne and between Prosnes and Suippe. Franch attacks on Chemin des Dames and in Champagne broke down under our fire. ・・

A Fruitless Enemy Effort.

Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports:-An attempt

London, April 21, to rooover Gonnlieu on the part of the enemy was unsuccess- ful, our artillery catching and driving back the attacking troops. The enemy left many dead. We progressed on the north bank of the Scarpe to the east of Fampoux and also advanced our line to the south-west of Leni where two counter-attacks were successfully beaten off. The Germans

raided & crater post to the south of Ypres and a few of our men are missing. Onr aeroplanes carried out much useful work yesterday,

The Coming Thrust.

Renter's correspondent at the British Headquarters

London, April 21. says:-The heavy and deliberate bombardment is proceeding and an overwhelming mass of artillery is engaged in cutting wire, smashing up trenches and wrecking strong points. There has been a loll in big news but there is no pause in the preparation for creating big news. We have been steadily creeping forward towards St. Quentin and there has been an extension of pur "nutcrackers" which at a pre-arranged moment will close and snap Lens.

..

Huge Allied Captures.

London, April 21.

A Paria communique states-Between the Sotame and Oise there has been violent reciprocal artillery firing, par ticularly south of St Quentin. Between the Aisne and Chemin des Dames we continued to progress and on the Plateau north of Sancy as the result of a bombing fight. We advanced in the region of Hartebise and our barrage four times shattered enemy attempts to leave their trenches north of Braye en Laonnais. There was intermittent artillery .. firing in the region of Leas and in Champagne.

Altogether 33,000 prisoners and 330 guns have been cap- tured by the Anglo-French between April 8 and 20.

TROUBLE IN GERMANY.

London, April 21

A semi-official Berlin telegram announcing the termination

of the great strike of munition workers at Berlin on Monday is now admitted to have been premature.

The "Lokalanzeiger" states that a quarter of a million workers from five factories ware still on strike on Wednesday. "Vorwaeria" states that at a meeting of the strikera on Thursday it was resolved not to resume work, but to send a depatation to the Chancellor.

The "

Cologne Gazette" states that various strikes occurred at Leipzig on Munday and Tuesday. There was also

■ great demonstration at Stoetleritz as a protest against the scarcity of food.
