With the retreat of the greater part of the Serbian army across the Albanian frontier, and the announcement of the capture of Mona-etl- r by the Bulgarians; the slowness of the operations against Montenegro and in southern Serbia, owing to the wintry weather and the absence of any major operations on the western and eastern fronts, interest in the military side of the war is now trans ferred to the Austro-Itallafrontier, where King Victor Emmanuels troops are carrying on an enegetlc offensive against the Austrians. The lighting on this front has been the most sustained and flrcest of the whole war. For weeks the Italians have been attacking the Austrian bridgeheads and mountain positions klong the Isonzo river, and are slowly, but Burely, drawing their nets around Tolmlno, Gorlzia and Doberdo.

No other commodities are at fected by these embargoes, .according to the announcement, which were placed to expedite the movement of other freight.
