Simultaneous Offensive Necessary to Wrest Albanian

Fortress-Austrans Face Difficulties

| CARA heights and make their appearance

| absolutely unfavorable conditions. The
| peninsula has n breadth of from two tc
| three miles. and the attacking forces
would be compelled to march either along
the eastern or western slopes or both. In
| the first case they would be exposed to the
/ fire of batteries and machine guns on the

bay; in the second case they could not
| avoid being attacked also from the
heights and from allied warships cruising
on the open sea. In either case the task
would be almost hopeless, n useless,
enormous waste of men.
EXIT TO SEA CLOSED.
And even with the possession of the
whole shore within the bay the Austrians
would find themselves in control of a
closed inlet, from which il would be i'm
possible to come out to the open sea. The
entrance of the bay in fact, is controlled
by the small, wide. bare island of Saseno,
which can well be described as Ealonas
sentry post The island has n good har.
Dor at San Nicolo. where cruisers and
small warcraft can seek refuge. Its prin-
cipal peak is 1000 feet high.
The island offers splendid protected po-
sitlons in numerous basins cut in the
rock, where heavy mortars and long
range naval guns can be placed and hid
from the enemy and IL has been, indeed
strongly fortified by Italy since Admiral
PATHS landed there the first detachment
of marines from Italian warships
Between the southern end of the island
and the headland of the peninsula there
is n mie-wide channel completely
controlled by batteries on the Saseno
heights and Mount Menusc. The northern
channel between San Nicolo and Porto
nuovo. is five miles wide, and this, too, Is
closed and presumably mined. If the
Italians have placed on the Saseno NOUN
tains only two batteries of 12-inCh guns
the island must be considered safe from
any attack from the sea, and the entrance
of the Valona bay must be regarded as
closed
with these military features Valona
Is today fortress not only formidable,
but well-nigh impreEnable. Only a stimuli |
taneous and long offensive from land and |
sea could possibly reduce It; but will the |
Austrians risk their fleet to attempt to |
conquer Valona? The Austrian fleet has |
kept to the strong naval bases |
Of lstria and Dalmatia and has declined |
the challenge of the Allied squadrons to |
engage in battle. 1t seems highly i'm
probable that it will come out now when
forces and be forced to accept battle in
conditions of inferority, a battle which
would end in disaster for the Austro-
hungarian navy. And then Nalona, if it
,annot be attacked by combined sea and
and forces, can be considered as safe

LONDON HEARS U. S. BREAK
WITH GERMANY Is NEAR
Papers Take Stand That Lusitania
Case Will Not Be Settled

LONDON, Feb. D. Reports that the
United States and Germany are hearing
a diplomatic break formed the most prom
inent news features in the London papers
today.
Several of the newspapers recall that
the same reports regarding the German
American relations have reached London
before, but have been followed by a con-
ciliatory move from one side or the other.
The majority of the papers. however.
agree that a break Is near.
The consensus Of English newspaper
opinion Is that Americas physical par
tlclpatlon In the war is not desirable from
the standpoint of the Allies, because ID
would cut on a source OF anmunition
supply.
The newspapers all take the view. how
ever, that Americas alignment on the
side Of the Allies would be Of the greatest
moral value.

William Welsh started with good inten.

mem rev blocks. He told many char

would help him to reach the place much
quicker, and that the possession of a

Many persons felt sorry for William.
They proved it by giving him enough for
round trip. Williams grief increased
each time he told the tale. He was so
sorrow'stricken he forgot he had the price

Advise New High School Building.

The annual reports of the incorpo-
rated school district are in the hands of
the voters and the annual meeting is
called for Friday evening in the opera
hall. The warning contains no article
of especial interest but in the report Of
the trustees there is discussed the
crowded condition of the school build
ing and the need of additional room.
The trustees see but one solution of the
problem and that is the erection in the
near future OF new and separate high
school building and the use of the
present building in it's entirety for the
grades. There is much of interest and
ms tructiveness in the reports of the
various officials which can be read with
profit by our people.
