stated today in his weekly war review.

concentrating his offensive forces, the
British and French have greatly
strengthened their defensive positions
and reorganization of their tactical ar
arrangements, which in many areas have
hitherto been chiefly of an offensive
character, and now are prepared for
any eventuality.
"The recent events Of Russia, the in

freedom for the central empires.

noticeable that ascendant initiative and

attacks by aircrafts in force were car
ried out against German cities. The
raid on Karlsruhe proved particularly
effective.
In the Italian theater the successes
of the preceding week have been en-
larged and extended. The Italians
launched successfully along three Sec
tors OF the line formidable assault
which resulted in a decided advantage
for their forces engaged. The most
