Washington, Nov. 5.?England, France and Italy stand firmly unit-j ed to oppose any further advance of the enemy in the Italian sector, says the war department's weekly review of military operations. The statement suggested that the Teutons probably thought Italy would be left n V. ? - #??. ? ? " _ ? - ' iu nvi imu, ui iuui me Hiues would be unable to dispatch the necessary forces in time, but declares that England and France already ha\^e Bent large reinforcements and the western front today stretches from the North sea to the Adriatic. Only bare mention of the American troops in France is made by the department. In pointing out that the momentous events In Italy must not "lead us to forget that the principal battle front of the war remains" in France and Flanders, the etntement says, "here our forces are fighting." "Our attention during the past week has been centered on the gigantic struggle now going on in the Fruilinn plain," says the review. ^ "The Austro-Germap forces, breaking through the Italian defenses along the upper reaches of the Isonzo, have erupted into the low lands, and carried forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated operations, which have resulted in the conquest of much territory. "Trench warfare has, for the time being, been abandoned. Great troop masses are maneuvering in open i country. "Under the direction of General Cadorna, the Italian armies have withdrawn to the west bank of the Tagliamento river. * "The momentous events in Italy should not lead us to forget that the principal battle fronts of the war remains, as it has been since the beginning, the important sectors of the western front, in France and Flanders. "Here the overwhelming bulk of enemy strength is concentrated Here our forces are fighting. "Steadily the Franco-British * forces are pushing forward." After reviewing the successes of the French and British at various points along the western front, the statement says: Along the eastern front there has been little change in the situation. The enemy is apparently continuing to draw in his outpostr in the Riga sector, but no engagements of Importance are reported. "Tne Germans have evacuated the Werder peninsula. This leaves the enemy without any foothold on the northern peninsula of the Gulf of Riga, and would indicate that he is contemplating no further advance on Petrograd for the time being. "In Palestine, the British have scored a distinct success by the capture of Beersheba, including a large number of prisoners. The Turkish forces, commanded by German officers, and assisted by heavy artillery, put up a determined resistance. The British are extending their gainst in thin area and pushing northward towards Jerusalem, which, objective is now less than 40 miles distant." * AVIATOR FIJKN FASTER THAN TWO Mil J?H A MINl'TK Newport News, Va., Nov. 5.?
