BRITISH HEADQUARTERS in

FRANCE, April 23.-(Frciii Staff (lorrespondent, Associated Press-In their new offensive the British have captured the town of Gavrelle, the la-st part of the defences of the Hin- deiiliurg line north of Scarpa. They have also taken the village of Guc- mappe, south of Scarpc. More than 1,000 prisoners were taken to-day. FRENCH GUNS HURL BACK AT- TACKERS. (Special to the Guardian.)

lighting continues along the l'roiit of the Frcncli offensive, the War Office ‘announces, East of (‘.rnoiine, the Ger- mans after n fierce bonibardiiiient grouped detachnients l'or attack. French guns replied effectively and preveiited the attack . The ofllcial state-ment. follows:

"There was very active artillery

fighting last night south of St. Quen- tin and -between Soissons and Rheinis. East of Craonne a very violent Ger- iiiuii boinbardnieiit was followed by preparations to attack. Our batter- ies replied effectively and the eneiny was not able to launch the attack.

“ln Champagne the Germans st

six o‘clock yesterday evening direc- ted a strong attack against the sa- lient northeast oi’ Mont Haut. it was broken by our artillery and ma- chine gunlire. The enemy renewed his efforts during the night on the ridges which we hold before Moron- villiers. Fighting was very spiri- ted at some points resulting _every- where to our advantage.

East of St. Mihlel and in \Voevre

we rcpulsed -two surprise attacks niadc by strong enemy detiiehments, one in Allly woods, the otlieragainst the Giiilonnc trench . ‘ '-“fir the' Vosges an enefmy _attack south of St`e. Marie Pass was witii- out success."

_ LONDON, April 23.--After a weeks , interlifde, during which they iiadheen busy consolidating the gains of the first week's offensive and -bringing up guns .the British at dawn this morn- ing begaii another phase of operations against the formidable German de- fence cu the front in northern France. General Sir Douglas Haig reports that the forces under his command work- ed on it wide t`ront on both sidesof thc river Scarpe where a ilortion of the llindeiiliu"g line forms a barrier dc|'e=uling (‘aiiibrai anti that they are making satisfactory progress.

l-`iirtlier south British troops have

cnplured the re-mainder of thc villagi- oi' Trescault and occupied the grt-at- er part of I-luvriiieourt wood which forincd a twc- mile bulge in their lines. Froni this point to the St. Quentin line it approaches very closely to thc Ciiurbrei St. Quentin road and canal. Success along the Scarpe not only would -threaten the new German line but would further cutflank the tension south.
