PROGRESS OF WAR
REVIEWED BY MARCH
Enumerates American Units
Fighting In Italy.
(By international News Service.


Washington. Nov. Last week was
most momentous from the viewpoint
of the allied armies. General March,
chief of staff, pointed out today. He
declared that as result Of the fight
mig there has been complete debacle
of Germany's outlying allies. Today
the situation confronting the allied
governments is that the enemy con-
centration is being very rapidly
brought to Germany alone. The
military operations of the past week
were marked by advances at various
points. the greatest being made on
the Italian front. General March de-
clared that as result Of the anarchy
nd unrest in Austria-Hungary, the
Italians will probably encounter little
serious resistance from now on. In
cidentally the general reviewed the
makeup of the American forces now
fighting in Italy as follows:
u. s. Ambulance battalions Nos. 5
6, IL, u, 10; the 3s2d inf; the 1925
base hospital, me 131st field hospital
and various air units.
