HUNDRED POSITIONS
TAKEN BY SOVIET TROOPS IN ONE DAY IN ADVANCE ON SMOLENSK NARROWING GERMAN HOLD IN CAUCASUS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, March 25. By new advances on the central front, the Russian columns have sharply increased the threat to Smolensk. Since midday yesterday, more than 100 strongpoints and settlements in this area have been liberated. The fighting is increasing in violence. As one correspondent put it, the Germans will fight like tigers to hold Smolensk, which as a supply base is even more important than Kharkov. New German attacks south-east of Kharkov drove the Russians from a fortified place, but they counter-at-tacked and regained the lost ground. The narrowing German bridgehead in the Caucasus is shown by the capture by the Russians of Abinskaya, 25 miles north-east of Novorossisk. in the face of tough German resistance and appalling weather conditions.
