WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

| Any attempt of the central powers
to make further advances in the italian
| section will be opposed by the united
forces Of England. France and Italy.
says Secretary Baker. in the weekly
review Of military operations issued
by the War Department. The Teutons
probably imagined. says the statement.
that italy would be left to her fate, or
that the allies would be unable to dis
patch the necessary forces in time. but
Secretary Baker ma. es the reassuring
statement that England and France
already have sent large reinforcements
and the western front today stretches
from the North sea to the Adriatic.

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 the review.
The Austro-German forces, breaking
through the ltaiian defenSeS along the
upper reaches of the Isonzo,
erupted into the lowlands. and carried
forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated
operations. which. have resulted in the
conquest of much territory.
Open Country Warfare at Present.
Trench warfare on the Italian front
has, for the time being, been abandon
ed. Great troop masses are maneuver-
ing in open country.
Under the direction of Gen. 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the Italian armies have withdrawn to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 battlefront of the war re-
mains, as it has been since the begin
ming, 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.

DR.. MUCK AND PLAYERS
ABSOLWD FROM BLAME
Maj. Higginson, Sponsor for 0rches-
ira, Says No Disloyalty
Was Intended.

BOSTON, November 5.-A statement
absolving DR.. Karl Muck. conductor of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the
men under him Of any disloyalty or dis
respectful intent in ommitting The Star
Spangled Banner" from their program
was made last night by Maj. Henry L.
Higginson, sponsor for the orchestra.
Maj. Higginson took upon himself blame
for any mistakes made. The statement
was brought forth by criticism from
citizens and certain patriotic organiza-
tions in Providence Of the omission Of
the national anthem from the program
Of the concert in that city last week.
Mai. Higginson said he received q re-
unknown to him and not subscribers to
the orchestra concerts to have tho an
them included in the Providence con-
certs. Tho request was not communi-
Maj. Higginson said, and they knew
nothing about 1t until they had re-
turned to Boston.
After the publicity given the criti-
cism Of the orchestra in Providence
'The Star Spangled Banner was made
a feature of the regular public recital
of that organization in this city Friday
afternoon. Referring to this. Maj. Hig-
ginson said:
orchestra were asked to play ''The Star
spangled Banner they played it; and,
still further. tho request has never
been refused.
'aThe original object and plan of
these concerts was the enjoyment and
education Of our. fellow citizens On
one point I may insist-the orchestra,
under DR.. Muck, has given to the pub
lie from the Atlantic to the Pacific
great comfort and happiness through
many years, and this band Of many
nationalities has worked we'll and low
ally under most trying circumstances
for the good Of US all. Each one Of
them deserves. not abuse or suspicion.

Allies Steadily Pushing On.

North of the Aisne the French have
enlarged their success of the preceding

they have successfully held in the face
Of strong counter attacks by the

in dispatches. these operations are OF
great tactical Importance.
The Germans, unable to Withstand
the intense pressure of the French in
this sector, have made a retiring
movement. AS yet no exact indica-

know that per cent of sick" locomo-
tiveS is considered high by competent
railroad managers.
What told the tale of railroad de-
moralization to me was the constant
anxiety I heard voiced on all sides by
people trying to buy their winter stock
of wood and coal. There is an endless
quantity of wood in Russia. Great for
ests of pine and cedar and birch, beau
tiful forests. had often marveled at
them from the windows OF my railway
carriage passing through Finland and
the country between Petrograd and
MOSCOW. Plenty of this wood has been
cut. I saw thousands and thousands
OF cords Of it piled up along the rail-
road tracks, and of course there must
have been much more elsewhere.
Petrograd is built on a marsh and
the ground is drained by picturesque
| II rather badly smelling canals which
run through the city and empty into the
Nera. Down one of the widest OF these
the Moika. which 1 crossed every day
| Ia constant line of barges. loaded with
| wood, foated slowly, drawn by horses
| ana sometimes by men. walking along
| towpath beside the canal. 1 used to
! watch those barge loads Of wood and
| wonder why, with such an almost un-
paralleled means Of distributing wood
| after 1T got there. the people of Petro-
grad should be troubled about the win
| ter fuel supply.
Not nearly enough of it was getting
mere last summer; that was all. The
quantity that boated down the Moika
] ana the other canals and got stacked
| up IN Woodyards and in the courtyards =
OF apartment houses. hotels, hospitals,

half the normal quantity. There WASN'T

Bloody Fighting Near verdun.

TN the verdun sector the enemy.
after violent bombardments, launched
several sanguinary attacks, which
were beaten OF by the French. One
attack in the area of Chaume wood
was temporarily successful.
Along the eastern front there has
been little change in the situation. The
enemy is apparently continuing to
draw in his outposts in the Riga sec
tor. but no engagements Of Importance
are reported.
The 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 contem-
plating no further advance on Petro-
grad for the time being.
