No grent change in conditions is

To Maintain Picssuro
That it is the intention to maintain
this pressure is indicated by a tele
gram from Field Marshal French to
the lord mayor of London, thanking
him for his memsagu of good will. Tho
British commander added that the
message encouraged his troops "to
