TEUT0NS OPERATE SWIFTLY AGAINST ITALIANS ALONG
 lSONZ0 FRONT TO T0LMINO
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

From the head of the Gulf of Triest northWard along the 1sOnzo front to beyond Tolmino and thence westward through the Carnic Alps region to the Pioecken pass, forming the eastern and northeastern boundaries of the Austro Italian war front, the Germans and AuStro-Hungarian troops are op- erating swiftly and strongly against the Italians in an endeavor to crush the forces of General Cadorna.
 Already the Italians, according to the German official communication, are standing before the town of Udine, the former grand headquarters of the Italian army, having been driven on past Clvidale. In the press westward from Gorizia, the Germans have cap tured the town of Cormons, ten miles to the southeast of Udine and the en- tire Italian line southward to the head of the Adriatic is reported to be in retreat.
 In addition the wedges driven into the Italian front in the east and north east, the Teuton allies have started a thlrd wedge in the north through Plor- ecken pass, their hope evidently being to cut off the retreat of the greater portion of General Cadornas forces moving west and southwest. Evident ly the weakness among the Italians has been entirely overcome, as Cador- na says that all movements ordered by the general staff now are being carried out in regular order and that the Ital- ians are fulfilling their duty by keep ing in check the enemy's advance into the plains.'
 Great Britain and France are pre- pairing to lend immediate aid to Italy f1,0 .1zsI troops are being hastened across the western Italian frontier and by way of Turin and Milan to the battle front in the east.
 As a result of the Teutonic allied of fensive internal conditions in Italy are declared to have been unified, the preponderating idea of the entire pop ulation now being to abolish party lines in order to meet the situation in the best interests of the country. Even the cabinet crisis is expected to be solved with comparatively few changes in portfolios.
 On the western front in France and Belgium little fighting has taken place, except in the nature of bombardments, although on the Verdun front the Ger mans in an attack near Chaume wood captured a portion of French trench. Later, however, they were driven out from the most of it.
 On that portion of the line held by the Americans, the Americans daily are smelling the Germans with the Germans answering their fire. Snow has fallen in the region where the Americans are entrenched.
 On the Russian front the Germans in their continued evacuation have withdrawn from the entire Werder peninsula, projecting into Moon Sound in the Gulf of Riga.
