Steady Pressure from the
 Allies Begins to Tell
 Upon Map in Advances Made Against Germans

UNDATED WAR LEAD, (By The Associated Press) ).-French pressure along the line, from the Marne to the Aisne, which began two weeks ago as series of local attacks, has begun to yield results which are appreciable when viewed on the map. The town of Corey and strong positions in that vicinity have been captured by the slow, methodical advance that has been the source of much annoyance to the enemy for several days.
 As result of the assaults made by the French from Amblemy. south of the Aisne, to the hills south of Corey. their line has been advanced to high ground which lends itself to defensive operations and gives the French Ob- servation points from which they can see what is going on behind the Ger man lines.
 Expect Dash fer Paris There has been some reason for be- lieving that when the Germans resume their offensive on the western front they will attempt to break through between the Marne and Aisne in a dash straight for Paris. For this req son, the operations which the French i have carried out assume importance. | South of Corey the German line eX- tends slightly to the westward, but it curves sharply eastward just before it reaches the Clignon river. northwest of Chateau Thierry. From the Clignon southward to the Marne, American forces have been improving their po- sitions in recent days and now have a strong line of positions running northward from hill 204 west of Cha. l Iii tn hn vii ilap nf | Australians Active Again On the British front the Australians have been in action once more, pen etrating German positions and captur- ing prisoners On the rest of the lines held by the British there have been the usual artillery duels and patro engagements.
 French and Italian attachments are steadily pushing Austrian forces bach along the western slopes of the noun tains that parallel the coast of Al bania.
 They are reported north of the i'm portant town of Berat and have moved ahead in the hilly country to the east | Vienna admits the allied success 1T this quarter.

 Czechos Battle BoIsheviki
 Bolshevi1 forces have engaged il battles with the Czecho- Slovaks il
 European Russia. and an official state
 ment issued at Moscow claims tha victories have been won at variou
 points. The fighting appears to hav
 been hardest in the region to the eas
 and southeast of PetrOgrad, whicl
 may indicate that the CZecho- Slovak
 have advanced from the Urals, wher
 they have been reported active fo
 some weeks.
 A Picking dispatch states that tn
 Czecho- Slovaks are in virtual contrC
 of all of western Siberia. Over vas
 stretches of this country they have tri
 umphed over the Bolsheviki. The over
 throw of the Bolsheviki at Irkutsk ha
 been confirmed.
 \ Another German Claim | An official statement from Berli says that five of a squadron of si ! American airplanes which started ou
 with the intention of bombing the cit
 of Coblenz fell into the hands of tn
 Germans.
