Allies IN Albania
Push Foe Back With
Comparative Ease

LONDON. July 14.-Allied forces in
Albania are continuing their drive
against the Austrian armies with com
paratively little opposition.
The French forces have driven +he
enemy from Hill 500 and from the viii
lage of Marta, at the confluence of the
Iormorica and Devol rivers, and estab
llshed their advances with great rapid
ity. In addition. on the right bank
of the Devoli River. the French sd-
vancing columns have occupied the
town of Gramshl.
The British, to the west of Doiran.
nave carried out successful raid
against the Bulgarian lines, forcing the
defenders back at several points in
sanguinary conflicts, according to re-
ports reaching the War Office tonight.
Ihls may be the opening of an attempt
TO cut the railroad running north from
Uskub. but details as yet are lacking.
Tomorica and Devoli rivers, and estab
the enemy is showing continued weak
ness and the ormidable defence of
the early days of the drive ia almost
entirely lacking.

Free Belgium
BidbyHertling
Only a Trick
Germans Revealed as Still
Holding Country as
Price for Colonies

COPENHAGEN, July 14.-Chancellor
Won Hertling's pronouncement on Bel
gium is regarded in high German
political circles, says dispatch from
Berlin to the "Rolitiken," as merely a
concrete statement of the position long
maintained by the German govern
ment-namely, that Belgium is only
a pawn for Germany's use at the peace
table. The dispatch adds:
President Wilson's speeches had
given the world the idea that Germany
hoped to retain Belgium, and because
of this a concrete statement was
deemed necessary.
German officials take it for granted
that Germany will be compensated for
the return of Belgium by getting back
ell ner colonies and obtaining FREQ
routes to them.
"The fate of Belgium" according to
these officials, depends upon whether
the Entente will accept these condi-
tions. If the Entente tries to enforce
a policy Of. taking away the German
colonies and in cutting Germany off
from the outside world, then Germany
won't surrender Belgium"

.SeaburyA Asks
Democrats to
Block Hearst
He Exposes Tammany Deal
to Deliver Nomination
for Governorship

In a bitter attack on William Ran
dolph Hearst, whose record he char
acterized as odious, Samuel Seaburv.
former judge of the Court of Appeals
and Democratic candidate for Governor
in 1916, called upon the Democrats of
the state to prevent Tammany leaders
from delivering the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor to Hearst as
agreed.
Judge Seabury asked his fellow
Democrats when thev meet at Saratoga
on July 23 to designate their own
candidate if Tammany should seek to
carry out its deal with Hearst not to
designate any one, SO Hearst might
capture the nomination by default.
For four years Hearst attacked the
administration of President Wilson and
has of late praised him only to make
himself eligible for the nomination for
Governor" said Judge Seabury. "He
has foully assailed every public man
who has refused to accept his dicta-
ton. His assaults upon the late Mayor
Gaynor were of a most scandalous
character. For several years he poured
his villanous torrents of abuse upon
the late Major Mitchell. Hearst's whole
record is such that his nomination
would be a disgrace"
Judge Seabury's statement, which is
addressed to the Democrats of New
York, reads:
Warning to Democrats
ain April last l warned the Demo-
Gratis of New York of the serious neril
confronting them in the menace of
Hearst's nomination for Governor. |
showed that Hearst and Tammanv had
formed an alliance to seize the state
government. Events have proved the
correctness of my forecast.
During the last four months senti-
ment against Hearst has grown so much
that there are some who still believe he
would not have the effrontery to submit
his candidacy to the people of the state.
Nevertheless, an alliance between Tam
many and Hearst exists. do not know
the particular methods which these
have used to accomplish
their purpose. That will depend upon
circumstances. 1t may be that in the
Saratoga conference Tammany will
openly support Hearst But | doubt
that this method will be followed. It
would disclose too openly the real con-
spiracy.
Hearst Scheme Barred
THAT the Tammany delegates to the
Saratoga conference will refrain from
designating any candidate is probable.
BY this method Hearst will be free
to wait until the last hour of the

Rationing of
Tobacco Now
Seems Likely
Government Control of En-.
tire Industry in America
Is Forecast

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Govern-
ment control of the tobacco industry
of the United States may result from
the heavy requirements of the Allies
and the American military forces
abroad. Rationing of the American
population is believed to be a possi-
bility.
The War Industries Board an
nounced to-day that it has been con-
Quoting an investigation to determine
the requirements abroad and the
amount that could be conserved in this
country to meet the situation 1t esti
mates that approximately two-thirds
Of the leaf tobacco raised in this coun-
try in 1917 will be available for Amer
lean manufacturers. Out of this must
come cigarette and pipe tobacco for
troops not yet overseas and exports of
manufactured tobacco, in addition to
for Belgium.
Yearly Consumption
The crop in 1917 was 100000
pounds and of this the board estimates
that S50,000,000 pounds will be availa-
bic this year for United States manu-
facturers and 346,000,000 pounds of
leaf will be available for export to
the Allies.
Tobacco issued to the military forces
of England, France and Italy amounts
to approximately 59,0oo,O 900 pounds
year. the board said. England and
France each allot 40 per cent of their
entire consumption to the army and
navy; and Italy allows her military
forces do per cent.
The total yearly consumption of the
entire populations Of these countries.
the board estimates at $4,000 900
pounds. or 4l,o00,000 more than this
country is able TO export
Dependent on United States
Persons who pointed to possible gov
ernment control to assure tobacco for
the Allies and American forces said it
is more than probable that, with the
Allied armies consuming between 40
and 45 per cent of the total consumn-
tion in Allied countries, American
forces would use more than SO per cent
Of the total amount used in the United
States.
The War Industries Board quotes the
annual per capita consumption of tho
United States and the Allies as fol.
lows:
Italy, 2 pounds; France, 34s pounds.
Great Britain, 4 pounds, and the % Unitsd
States, re pounds
England, France and italy are now
chiefly dependent on Imports from the
United States, as their imports from
other tobacco growing countries have
been materially reduced through lack

Storm Tears plane
To Bits High in Air,
But Pilots Escape
By Wilbur Forrest
Especial Cable to The Tribune)

Copyright 1918. Tho Tribune Association)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, July
14.-Virtually blown to pieces in mid
air during violent storm, with pilot
and observer clinging to the stripped
planes and safely landing within the
French lines, is the unrivalled exploit
Of two French aviators in recent
reconnaissance mission on the Somme
front.
The tale comes from French avia-
tion camp where detachment of air
men we're witnesses to one of the most
marvellous battles with the elements
and escape from what seemed certain
death. 1t is probably the first incident
of its kind in the history of aviation.
A French machine was called upon
to ascend during violent thunder and
wind storm for important observation
work over the German lines. When
at height Of several thousand feet
the members Of the squadron below
saw the turret and its machine gun
stripped from the craft by the gale.
The observers seat was next to go,
but the occupant, grasping the wing
stays. clung to the swirling plane. The
craft9was whipped about in the sky at
will and the cloth completely stripped
from the fuselage. Both pilot and OBJ
server we're clnging to their wrecked
craft when it reached earth, after
series of gyrations rivalling the most
daring acrobatics practised by Allied
"aces." Both occupants escaped serious
injury.
Another machine, storm driven far
from its base in the gale, was forced
to land within the German lines. Three
Boches rushed up to take prisoner its
occupant, but were met by bursts of
machine gun fire. The pilot. conscious
of imminent capture, drove his plane
over she'll hole, tree trunks and rocks,
and again braved the dangers of the
storm in preference to German cap
tivity. He landed uninjured within his
own lines. !
