than 1,300 guns have been captured j
by the Germans in their offensive on j
the western front up to the present

Germans gained successes south of

Moreuil Thursday and that British |
and French reserves were repulsed}
in storming attacks.
In southern Russia the Germans
have captured the town of Ekateri- !
noslav, an important commercial and j
industrial center on the Dnieper;
river, 250 miles northeast of Odessa.
The text of the communication says:
"The enemy showed desperate resistance
on the whole of the front.
His losses are consequently unusuallly
severe. We took several thous-!
ands of prisoners.
"According to a complete calculation
the number of prisoners brought
in by the army of Gen. von Hutier in [
the period from March 21 to March '
29 amounts to 51,218 and the captur- i
ed guns 729. With these captures
the whole booty up to the present j
has risen to more than 90,000 prison- |
ers and more than 1,300 guns.
"By the way of reprisal for the j
continual bombardment for some
days of our shelters in Laon we have
taken Rheims under our fire.
'"In Champagne and on the east
bank of the Meuse successful thrusts
have brought us prisoners.
"Before Verdun the artillery battle,
which had increased during the I
day, was also lively during the I
night."
