The southern part of the Rhine-sur-Lisbon, in France, continues to crumble or fall back before the forces of the French general, Neville. Thursday witnessed additional important gains by the French at numerous points from Soissons eastward to the old Champagne, and also the capture of men and guns, Northeast of Soissons, the villages of Aisne, Joi, and Lui, and Fort du Conde were captured by the French, while to the east, near Büro, another point of support fell into their hands and with it, 600 prisoners and two cannon.
Violent artillery actions are in progress between the Somme and the Olse, in Champagne, near Le Morne, in the Verdun sector, and in Belgium, around Dixmude.
The French War Office reports that on Wednesday night the Germans threw twelve divisions of fresh men into the fray between Soissons and Aberive in an attempt to hold General Nivevoile's forces back, but that their efforts were unavailing. The Berlin official statement says German counterattacks northwest of Aberive "compensated for the enemy's gain of terrain." It is admitted by Berlin that the Germans near Ville-aux-Bois retreated to new lines.
Comparative result, gauged by the recent intensive Herding, prevails on that part of the sector.  The line in France held by the British.
