Position of Enemy in Albania is
Extremely tical
A' despatch from Washington says:
The Austrian' army in Albania i,s in
danger of immediate capture, The
allies are hot after the fleeing Tee
-
tens, and may surround them on their
way . out.
`Army epbrts and diplomats are
keenly interested in the critical ,po-
sition the surrender of the Bulger-
.
lens has left the Austrians. Some
time. ago Austria had three routes
by w=hich she could have withdrawn
Iter`,Corces, but"two of these are peace
tieally closed because of recent•,events.
She could have gone out by Ochrida
or Prizrend, through Serbia, but with
the Itialines following them from the
south-west and the Serbians waiting
for then on the north-west and the
allies dominating the Adriatic Sea
some distance north of Durnzzo, her
only hope, and that is ,scant, is by
Scutari
It is believed here that the next
big war -news will be that the allies
have taker. approximately 100,000
Austrians in Albania.
It is said by persons in a position
to know the facts that the allies are
rushing men and supplies to Albania
through Durazzo, from which they
drove the Austrians a week ago and
:destroyed the naval base there. It
seems to be but a question of a short
time until the Austrian army is
rounded tip on its way to Scutari by

A despatch from the Z+ rsench Army
in Champagne, says:: The battle in

Motirn, which was taken} :Wednesday
orior-ning by the French, to the Suippe
River at Bazancourt, which is violent-
ly attacked by the Germans.
North of St. Etienne, on the Antes
River, the enemy made vigorous as-
sault upon the positions won by Gen,
Gouraud'e men Tuesday, but ty ithoint
other resistance than to Increase
largely the • German casual -ides.
Notwithstanding the stuleborn oppo-
sition the enemy is ofleiing on the
Suippe and north of the Arris, the
impression still is that he is merely
seeking to gain time to reduce the
difficulties of retreat, the extent of
which, in view of the developments on
the extreme left wing of the lighting
(rout, it is impossible to forecast.
The vigor and perseverance of the
allied ; pressure appears to have'de-
ranged all the German plans. No -
'where have the Germans, with all,
their genius in organization, been able
to ptr'epah'e a stable posritioti upon
which •the�i`r defeated troops could' re-
tire' in security,' which suggests that
they have again erred in their judg-
ment of the strength and endurance
of the•Entente allied fighting forces,
They are being defeated not only at
points chosen for attack by Marshal
Foch and his generals, but on ground
selected by themselves for counter-
attacks. Their reaction all along the
Champagne front thcis far has been
productive of only one result relative-
ly favorable to th,,m, in the region oi'
the Grand Pre gap, which they have
been able to keep open up'to the pres-
ent,,,, although the gap is under the
heavy firc of the French guns..
The latest American advance has
now particularly neutralized that re-
sult. The Americans fighting west
of: the Argonne, Forest on Wednes-
day were west of Cornay on the Aire
River, having effected a junction with
the French troops.
