Relatives of the Killed and Wounded to Be Notified
 Directly and Very Promptly
BARE NAMES TO BE X GIVEN TO PUBLIC BY
 ADJUTANT GENERAL
People Are Warned That Many Men in the Army Have Same Names
 or Similar

Washington, March 1O.- The war department gives no indi- cation of yielding in its de termination to withhold the home addresses of soldiers killed or wounded, or who die of other causes in France.
 Easing its position on the objec- tions the French government made to General Pershing against the Ameri- can method of issuing casualty lists, the department intends to meet .ob- jections in Congress and from the public with the answer that the old system betrays valuable information to the enemy and that the fact that the nearest relatives of soldiers are officially notified hours before they could get the information from the newspapers.
 Therefore. the lists will continue to be issued once day from the office of Adjutant General Mccain.

 Nothing is found in the situation by the department to indicate that he Ger mans have abandoned their plans for d great offensive in the west and it says the allies. while assuming an alert de fensive. are content to let the enemy break himself against their irnpregna- ble line.
 Intense air activities during the week are noted, with the statement that 2i4 enemy aircraft were brought down on the western front alone, while the allies lost only SS machines on all fronts dur ing the same period. The enemy loss on all fronts is placed at 273.
 TEXT OF. REVIEW
 The review, in part, follows:
 Tn spite of the fact that 12,0O0 square miles of Russian territory have been in- .vaded during the past three weeks and the enemy now is sweeping forward into the heart of Russia and has reached a point within 70 miles of the capital. nevertheless. the center of gravity of the war remains in the west.
 .sThe Germans have for the past three and a half years done all in their power to upset the center 0. gravity and shift 1t eastward This explains the success sive blows struck. in Russia and later in the Italian theatre.

 For several months the Secretary of War has been eager to see for himself conditions at the front and to talk over with General Pershing, the man upon whom the fun hurdeii oe oe.responsibiiity for the entire American war pro- gramme in France has been placed. the many problems that have arisen to irn- pede the carrying out of the depart ment's plans.
