France and Italy stand firmly united to oppose, any further advance of the enemy in the Italian sector, says the war de partment’s weekly review of military operations. The statomout suggests that the Teutons probubiy thought Italy would be left to her fate, or that the allies would be unable to dispatch the necessary forces in time, but dd- claxes that England and Prance al ready have sent 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 de partment. 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 statement says, “here our forces are fighting," “Our attention during the past week has been centered on the gigantic struggle now going on in the Friulian plain,” says tho review. “The Austro-Gcrraan forces, break ing through the Italian defenses r#ng the uppey reaches of the Isonzo, have erupted into the low lands, and carried forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated operations, which have resulted Its the conquest of much ter ritory. ‘,'Trench wai'fare has, for tho time being, been ahandonSd.
