Bilbao, Dec. 20. The Christmas offensive by General Franco bas yielded the following results nfler four days of battle, says an Insurgent report:

An advance of 18 miles in depth, 0,721 prisoners, and more than 9,000 Loyalist casualties; 32 Loyalist planes were shot down, and another eight are believed to have been destroyed. The entire region south of Lerida to the Ebro lank near Fix is cleared of Loyniists.

Insurgent infantry is advancing

The defence of the Loyalists is weaker than expected, apparently as a result of heavy losses suffered during the Ebro battle.
