On the western battle front the
British. French and Americans have
continued to make further slight gains
against the Germans; in the Italian
theater both the British and Italians
have scored successes. while in Asia
tic Turkey the British have captured
Aleppo in Syria and are driving ahead
on both banks of the Tigris in Meso

the continued advance mp the Tigris
are moves of such strategic value that
