Washington, March Germany'* ^veep Into Hunnttt is iktarlbed by tb* war department's weekly military re* view tonight ?* another futile at tempt <>n the j>art of the (lerumns to <hlft the Cantor of gravity of the war, which nt til remains on the west front where the Teutons fucc the French, I British, Italian and DeJglan armies and the over-growing American forces. There, the revierw says, lie the key portions of tffe war. American 4 "troojfc* now occupy trenches at four separate points, aud, as was roeently disclosed, In the prin cipal sector their front Is four and a half miles long. They have Imhhi con stantly engaged, the department says, ami the scope of their activities Is Ik;. ing constantly extended. Nothing is found in the situation by j ho department to Indicate that the Germans have abaudoncd their plans for a great offensive in the west, and ?t says the allies, while assuming an alert defensive, are content to let the cyeniy break himself against their im pregnable line. Intense air activities during the week are noted, with the- statement that ~H enemy aircraft were brought down on the western front alone, while the allies lost only 88 marines <.n all fronts during the same period. The enemy loss on nil fronts is placed at 273. / The review in part, follows: "In spite of the fact* that 120,000 opiate miles of Russian territory liave been Invadod during the past three week* and the enemy now is sweep ing forward into the heart of Russia and has reached a point within 70 miles of the capital nevertheless, the renter of gravity of the war remains in the wetft. "The Germans have for the past three and a half years done all. in t.helr i>ower to upset the center of gravity and shift it eastward. This explains the successive blows struck in Russia and later in the Italian theater. "Notwithstanding the diversions of rhe minor campaigns In Mesopotamia, Palestine and the Balkans, the key positions of the war are France and Flanders. "Here the strategic situations re mains relative constant. "The enemy is completing the re distribution of available forces. "There are some new units flowing into the lines In the nature of replace no en ts. "Nothing in the situation should lead u-. to estimate that, the Germans have abandoned their plans of a major offensive in the west. 'VonsUh'iing taotlcal dispositions wo not? that the enemy has dcveloptHl lw? principal uxea of activity, the one pivoting on Kholins, tho other In Al aac? In front of Luiu'viUc. "The allies, while assuming an alert defensive, are resting content with allowing tho enemy to break tho strength t?f his assaults against their Impregnable line. "The morale of .the French and British forces has never hoen better. They aro keenly anxious to glvo haUlo to the enemy,* coutldent of their su periority. *H>ur .own forcea have been con stantly eugaged. The aeojai of their activities Is being dally extended. The number of ouf detaelunentx In the line is increasing. We now have troops In the trenches at four separ ate poi?t?. ; "At dawn on March rt. the enemy attempted a strong raid against ono of our advance posts further south. Tills thrust was repulsed with a loss to the enemy. Our casualties were slight and no prisoners or missing were reported. Tho French general commanding this sector congratulated our commander on the splendid man ner In which our troops repulsed the assailing columns. "We now hold four and a half miles of the battle front in our prin cipal sector. "On March 7, the enemy making use of liquid tire, advanced to the as-. ( sault against our trenches. This la the first time this weapon has been tried out against our men. Tho assaulting] column was repulsed and the Ger mans were eon*i>ollod to abandon the flame-throwing apparatus which was captured, and later brought Into our lines. "During this attack Jin; liquid lire reached a trench segment which con tained none of our men and little damage was inflicted. "Our own patrols were continuous ly out on scouting missions, keeping In close contact with the enemy, "In our Toul sector the Germans are carrying oil extensive prepara tions, continuing to bring up fresh units, and accumulating material, ap parently with a view to undertaking iiiore extensive operations.

"Advhvs indicate that the enemy contemplates taklug the offensive in the mountain area, possibly In an effort to debouch through tho Val Isi garlna Into the plain.

"In tt'ic meantime Italluu forces have now fully recovered from their losses of the campaign of last autumn.

The ttf.OOO inon now called, it is understood, are needed at once ti? till up divisions and other units scheduled for early departure or to take the place of men transferred from other divisions to m&kc up such deficiencies. Newly organized regular divisions are particularly short of men an<l heavy drafts on national army divisions to make these Rood have boon necessary, seriously interfering with the training work of the naticfual army divisions drawn upon. The call for new men makes It probable that no further transfers will bo necessary. The 800,(M)0 men to ho summoned this year represent the nninl>er neces sary to till up all existing divisions, to create all the army corps and Held army troops to till out the war ma chine for which the framework al ready exists, and to provide a quarter of a million replacement troops When they have been mobilized, which will not be completed before the lirst of next year, there will be mere than 40 full infantry divisions of li7,7(X\meu oaeh and all the additional units nec essary. No additional divisions of the national army or national guard will be credited this year, although the program for the* regular army, now composed of eight infantry and one cavalry division, may be enlarged.
