FRENCH PRESS BACK ENEMY
 TWO MILES
NEW FRONT ESTABLISHED FROM LONGPONT TO A M B R ELNY, ALMOST 8 MILES; COLONISTS HIT ENEMY HARD.
By Associated Press.

Continuing their aggressive defense in face of the impending offensive, the French have attacked southwest of Soissons. From the eastern side of the Retz forest, north of Longpont they advanced over a front approxi- mately of two miles, taking Chavi- gny farm, the slopes north and south of the farm and several hundred pris- oners. This gives the French new front from Longpont north to Ann breiny, of almost eight miles.
 The Australians astride of the Somme, east of Amiens and north of Hamel, swept back the enemy front for ever a mile and straighten- ed out an awkward angle. Berlin mentions local attacks in the .Clignon sector held by Americans between the Marne and Rheims.
 The Italians in Albania struck hard at the Austrian positions along the Voyu river. Vienna admits the ad- vanced posts were withdrawn. A ser ious offensive may be initiated there. The navy is able to cooperate with the Italian land forces and if the lines are pushed back very far the reloca- ton of enemy lines running over the mountains into Macedonia might be necessary. Fighting has been on for three days, thus indicating it may be more than a local action.
 Events are moving rapidly in Rus sia since the assassination of the German ambassador Rumors of a counter revolution in Moscow come from various sources. Other dispat- ches say the uprising was crushed, and several hundred revolutionists arrested. The indications are that German troops may be sent to Mos COW.
