SPIRIT OF ARMY
Preparations for Ordeal of Battle Are
Being Steadily Pursued, Secre-
tary Declares.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l5.-Only minor
developments at the battle fronts are re-
corded in the weekly review of military
operations made public last night by the
war department. Wintry weather is IN
terferng with operations in Italy, France
and Flanders, and in Russia the military
situation is overshadowed by peace nego-
tiatlons, from which, the review says, no
conclusions can safely be drawn
OF the American forces in France, the
department announces that their prepa-
ration for the ordeal of battle is being
steadily pursued and that Gen. Pershing
reports their health and fighting spirit
extremely good
General improvement in health and
equipment conditions in training camps
at home is reported, and the department
says IN spite of abnormal cold the camps
have been adequately heated and soldiers
nave had sufficient supply of blankets
for their comfort.
The identification Of Austrian units
along the western front is of interest,
says the review. For some time past We
have been receiving information to the eff
feet that Austrian howitzers which had
been participating in the offensive in
Italy Were beng detached from the Ital
IAN theater and transported to the west
| w hlle information reaches us thai
the Austro-Germans propose to undertake
simultaneous offensives in Italy, and il
| the west, 1t IS to be noted that within
the central empires great efforts are now
beng made to spread broadcast the new.
that the Germans have fulfilled then
widest objective in the Italian theater ant
that no further forward movemen
could be of any advantage to their in
! terests"
