Progress of the War.

The cable news published to-day, which is somewhat belated owing to the break in telegraphic communication, records no military movements apart from the capture of another point d'appui by the Italians in the mountain sector oh their northern front. There are no indications as to the march of events in the Western theatre, apart from Sir Douglas Haig's aviatioli report, which, in common with recent messages' relating to the aerial activity on this front, indicates that the German air forces are more active than for some time past. It is reported that Germany lost 591 aeroplanes in June, a fact which gives some indication of the important part played by the airmen in the intervals between instalments of the offensive. The Air Ministry's report records further successful raids by Allied aviators over German industrial towns, many heavy bombs being dropped with, good effect."*" The internal affairs of the Central Powers provide subject matter for several messages which indicate that the unrest among them is increasing, and that the food shortage in Germany is going from-bad to worse.
