An Allied Offensive in the Balkans.

An Allied force made up Of Italians
and French has undertaken new
offensive in the Balkans. The point
where they struck is about midway
on the long line over the Albanian
mountains from the Adriatic to Mon
astir. Vienna officially acknowledges
the withdrawal Of the Austrlans, and
the statement from Rome reports the
capture Of more than 1000 prisoners
and stores Of war munitions.
This Is the. hrst offensive in this
region since the Austrians, sweeping
down from Montenegro, occupied the
Albanian capital Of Durazzo. They
we're halted on the north bank Of the
Voyusa. and the Italians have since
been engaged in the development Of
southern Albania. They have i'm
proved the harbor Of Avlona and have
built q road over the mountains from
that port to Monastir. With the aid
afforded by these improvements the
Italians have succeeded In transport
ing over the Adriatic $50, 700 soldiers
without the loss of d ship or man.
They have succeeded at the same time
in carrying requirements and sup
plies to the Allied line on the Mace
DOMAIN front.
The Italian force on the western
Balkan front is estimated at about
10000 men. The offensive which
they have undertaken in cooperation
| with the French has for its purpose
not only the forcing Of n diversion Of
Austrian troops from the Piave to
the support Of the Balkan line, but
the breaking Of the .Austro- Bull garian
right flank and the recovery Of the
; Serbian territory west of the Vardar
valley. The Macedonian army, which
was under the command of General
| GuILLAMAT before his recall Ia
France. has already made consider
able gains en- st Of the Vardar. The Al
lied successes at these two vital points
of the Balkan line have been taken
TO signify a renewal of an offensive
all along the front. The Central Pow
ers have unquestionably weakened
their line by the withdrawal Of troops
for Italy and France. For this rea,
son the present is considered espe-
cially favorable for an attempt to re-
cover Serbia and Montenegro.
Besides Its military objective the
movement has the purpose Of the full
filment of a promise earlier made by
Italy to the Albanians to rid their
country Of the Austrian invaders. The
independence of Albania was pro-
claimed last year with the approval
of the Allied nations. A government
was formally established at Koritza
and the improvement in the roads
and the condition Of the people which
have been made by the Italians were
sanctioned by the representatives OF
the new state. The intention of the
Allies Is to build up an independent
and stable Albanian government
With this accomplished one of the
disturbing and perplexing problems
of European politics will be In fair
way Of settlement.

CALICO FROCKS.
They Are Popular, but They Are Not
Cheap.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: Ref
erence is made in THE SUN Of July to
the attractive calicoes Of the Pacific
coast mills.
New. York shops OF high standing
have made a feature OF calico frocks
this summer. Many OF them suggest
civil war styles. with their flounces and
flowing sleeves. and they show the old
shades OF blue. orange, gray or pink,
with old time patterns of sprigs and
rings or spots.
They do not suggest the sweet sim
p!iclty OF six cents yard. however,
the ready made calico frocks have seen
being priced at $l2 to SIS. Indeeds the
material itself Is no longer cheap, as
far as any cotton goods are concerned.
and we women who are still so old FASH
toned that We like to make our muslin
underwear. house dresses and summer
clothes are wondering whether It is the
cotton grower. whose price Is not con-
trolled like the wheat growers, the tex
tile manufacturer or the department
store that is the possible profiteer.

LET DOCTORS Go TO WAR.
A Plea to Hospitals to Abandon the
Rotating Service.

To THE EDITOR OF THE srN--s~: OF
necessity the business of the country
has been reoi ganized; the same Inn
perious necessity calls for the reorsani-
Eation Of the civil hospitals.
Up to the present time the enrolment
OF medical men has kept pace with the
army's growth. But million Ameri-
cans haye now taken their place In the
fighting line ships are available for the
rapid transportation OF q second mill
ion; a third million IL streaming into
the training camps, and more doctors
are needed. The hospitals Of the coun-
try must help to furnish them--they
can II they will.
BY undertaking to retain In It's SER
vice only the actual number OF men re-
Quired to care for its patients the hos
pitals can at once release q large num-
Der Of physicians for army service.
Every hospital that has not already
on war footing by abolishing the
rotating service.
What is the rotating service? It is
a plan OF organisation which requires
or permits two three. four or even six
men. each serving six, four. three or
perhaps only two months annually, to
hold down one mans Job. There may
be reasons OF educational policy which
Justify a rotating service in ordinary
times to-day any such plan Is contrary
to the national interest and is self-con-
demned. In this crisis no plan OF or
ganization Is admissible which does not
release every competent physician who
can be spared for military duty. No
man should be permitted to excuse him
self from entering the Medical Reserve
Corps on the plea that a hospital needs
| him. unless his presence In that hospital
| Is indispensable-not two. three or four
months in the year. but all year.
For the period Of the war the rotating
service must go. The continuous SER
vice plan Is the only patriotic plan OF
| hospital organization at this time. One
Job. one man! 1t is the duty OF hospital
authorities to adopt this plan now. and
to make II plain TO the men who are
thus released from hospital service for
the period Of the war that the purpose
OF their release Is to make It easier for
them to decide where the path OF duty
