London. May 81 Italian forces in
central Southern Albania have occu-
pied the villages of Cerevoda, Velisest,
Osoja and Gaia. according to the Off
esl bulletin from Rome. and have held
them against the attacks of Austrian
regulars. Paris announces that French
sviators have bombarded Austrian
military establishments in Eastern
Albania.
The indications are that the Allies
have undertaken a concerted move
nent on the western Macedonian front.
or that part Of the line which runs
from the junction of the Italian armies
with the French and Serbs, near Lake
Presbs. TO Valona. on the Adriatic
coast
The four villages were captured
Monday night by albanian troops
under Italian command. They were
defended By Albanian irregulars act
ing under Austrian orders-"rebels"
against the provisional government
established with Essad Pascha as
President. The group of towns is situ-
a,ed on the upper reaches Of the Osum
River. about sixteen miles from Berat.

between Valona and DurazzO, the two

Sarrairs Task Difficult
The purpose OF renewed activity in

teal. or both. II it is strategic and
phase Of General Sarrail's offensive in
the Balkans, the way 20 any large re-
suit is beset with difficulties. There is
l. route into Serbia through Albania
slorg the valley of the Drin River,
giving an entrance near Prisrend But
Il is wholly unsuited TO military opera
tons on a large scale.
However, pressure in Albania would
tend 10 draw Austrian relnforcSmen
from the defences held chiefly by the
Bulgars. and perhaps even from the
Julian front.
II the object Of the fighting is poll
teal, then it is evidently based on an
understanding between all the Allies,
as the cooperation Of French ay.ators
would indicate. If Italy is to consoli-
late and extend her hold on Albania,
which her armies already traverse
from boundary 10 boundary, now IS
the time she must strike.
Italian policy comprehends the com
ple,e domination Of Albania as far
nor;h as Durazzo, thus securing ltaly's
control Of the Adriatic. Serbia wanted
Durszzo for a port, but there have
been inspired suggestions that she was
willing 20 give way 20 Italy II she could
get access D the sea through Scutari.
Greece has also watched Italian prog
ress in Albania with jealous eye. but
her desires have hardly been considered
By the Allies since the open detection
Of King Constantine from the cause.
Albanian Government Nebulous
Albania is an artificial state carved
out Of European Turkey after the sec
ond Balkan war, for the obvious pur-
pose Of keeping Serbia away from the
sea. Prince William Of WED, spon-
sCred By Austria, was placed on the
throne, but he could not maintain order
among the turbulent Moslem tribesmen
and fed the country before the great

better artillery preparation and the
