HILL TRICES
ARE HELPING
THE ALLIES
(By Associated Press.)
For the moment, the eye of the
allied world are turned away from
the front in France toward the hith
erto inactive front In Albania, where
the French and Italian continue to
path successes sgsinst Austrian.
While it is not expected that far
reaching results will be brought about
the movement has great possibilities
The fighting is along a line sixty
miles, from the river Devoll to th
Adriatic. Easad Pasha and ths Al
banians are fighting the Invaders
from the north by side of the allies.
Though seventy miles from Salon
iki, the enemy ranks there already
exhibit symptoms of nervousness, for
th Austro-Bulgar right wing may be
outflanked and there are signs thst
the offensive may be launched north
from Saloniki at the same time
against the war weary Bulgarians.
The political results will be not-'
able for the successes they will bring
to the side of th allies the hill tribes
which are among the finest fighters
in ths world.
There sre indications that th Ger
man are preparing an effort or aoma
magnitude to recapture th valuable
high ground won by th Australians
and Americans within the past few
dsys o nth orftn east of Amiens,
north of Vlllers-Bretonneaux.
The only infantry operation within
the past twenty-four hours In which
ground wss gained is reported by
Field Marshal Hsig. It occurred en
the Flanders front where the Brit-
jn ,dv.nc,d their in, ,ightiy Be.r
,
Mrt-.is.
This improves the position which
protects Niepp wood and the ap
proaches to Hazebrouck, the railway
junction back of the wood, continued
possession of which is vital to the
Ypres front.
Comparative quiet prevailed on tha
