WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

Blocked in their advance across the
Piave river by the Italian and Brit
ish forces, the Austro-Hungarians ap-
parently have closed the first phase
of their offensive against Italy. View
ed after a week of fighting, the Of
fensive has been little more than
demonstration in force over battle
line more than 80 miles in length.
The enemy succeeded only in push
ing several divisions across the
Piave river, on a 12-mile front.
From the first day of the attack it
was seen that the Italians were not
called upon to meet tremendous on
Blaught on some strategic key to
their position such as was launched
at Caporetto last October, They had,
rather. to defend their lines over
wide front against attacks which
were launched seemingly without suf-
ficient power to penetrate more than
some Of the advanced posts of the
Italians and their allies.
The second phase of the offensive
1s expected to begin at any time. 1t
10 not believed that the Austrians
will be willing to end their drive
against Italy with the results indicat-
ing an almost total failure. There
have been intimations that Germany
would assist in the attack which is
coming and which may be launched
against the mountain sector of the
front. Large bodies of men have been
assembled there, presumably for an
other attempt to break Lhe mountain
barrier
Since the abortive attack on the
Rheims front early in the week the
western front has, been quiet. There
have been patrol encounters and the
usual operations along the front, but
nothing resembling new drive by
the Germans at the allied line has
been reported. Berlin officially re-
ports the presence of italian troops
in the Rheims sector.
American forces have continued
their intense activity on tine fronts
where they are holding positions.
Northwest Of Chateau Thierrv they
have pushed their lines forward once
more and east of the city have bonn
barded bodies Of German troops.

THE SPOT THAT GOD
LOVES BEST

The west begins where the east leaves
off,
And no man knows the spot;
The starting point of the sunny south
Is the place where the north is not;
We call it east where the welcome sun
First tints the rosy skies;
We call it west where the shrdows fade,
When the evening twilight dies;
We call it north where the snowdrifts
pile,
When the wintry billiards blow;
We call it south where the orange
blooms
And the sweet maguolas grow;
We will travel east, we will wander
west,
To the north or south we'll roam;
If we're still in sighl of the stars and
stripes,
The spot is home, sweet home.
For the starry banner shall float aloft
From the calm Pacific shores
To the rugged rocks of the far-off coast,
Where the broad Atlantic roars.
There is no north and there is no south,
And we know nc. east, no west,
For any old place in the U. S. A.
Is the spot that God loves best.
