WAR CAMPAIGNS ON
 THREE FRONTS ARE
 PROGRESSING SLOWLY

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The As- sociated Press makes the following comment today on the war sum- mary, according to bulletins and war dispatches received from over sea-
 None of the three big campaigns in progress on the Western fronts seem to have gotten into full swing. General Cornona, whose great drive on Triest is perhaps the most spec tacular of the current operations, is displaying activity, more spro- nounced than either General Pe- tain or Haig, in their respective fields, Verdun and Arras, Flanders and Arras. On the front below Lens, Haig reports the repulse of German raid on the British lines. No mention is made of ac- tivities on the British side but the London war offices intimations are that an artillery battle is being car ried on in virtually a continuous form in preparation for the next forward thrust with every indica- tion that the wearing down pro cesses are having effect on the Ger mans.
 Petain's reports indicate the pos sibility of a speedy renewal of an infantry battle at Verdun. Artil- lery on both sides of the Mouse is actively bombarding the German lines.
