Firm Opposition to Further
Advance of Enemy yi the
Italian Sector.
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withdrawn to the west bank of the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."
