Allies Repulse All
Austro Bulgarian
Attacks i'm Albania
Italians Report Capture of
100 Prisoners Along
Semeni River

LONDON, July 27.-The Austro- Bull
garian forces in Albania are continuing
their counter drive against the Allied
forces, but their desperate efforts to
push southwark across the Semeni
River have been repulsed at nearly all
points, it was announced officially in
Rome to-day.
The Italians beat off repeated attacks
along the river, inflicting heavy losses
on the enemy and taking more than q
hundred prisoners.
Near Kalmi on the Semeni, twenty
miles from the Adriatic, Vienna says,
the Austrians forced a passage of the
river.
The communication issued by the
Rome War Office says:
"In Albania the fighting near Kuci
bridge continued yesterday. Rein
forced. the enemy repeatedly attacked,
trying to drive us from the river. He
was beaten off and suffered heavy
losses. We captured hundred pris-
oners and some machine guns.
"An enemy attempt to cross the
Semeni, west of Jagodina, failed. In
the bend of the Devoli, on the western
slopes of Mali Stoves, an enemy col
umn advancing to attack Hill 760 was
repulsed."
The Austrian report says:
"In Albania our troops near Ar
denica repulsed several enemy counter
attacks, and captured, near Kalmi, ths
crossing over the Semeni."
The Paris statement reads:
'EASTERN THEATRE, July 27.--In
Albania the day was marked by vigor-
Gus reactions. Enemy attacks with
strong forces north of the Devoli, on
the lower Holta and south of that river
near Izgyuba, were broken. the enemy
leaving. numerous dead on the ground.
"ln the course of aerial fighting dur
ing the day two enemy airplanes were
brought down."

other armies are withstanding every
effort OF the Germans, who appear to
be making most determined effort
south of Soissons.
Rear Guard Well Differed
The Germans have left officers who
know how to maneuvre skilfully par
TALLY deserted units so that at times
1t appears almost ironical to refer to
their defence as rear guard action.
1t is just that, however, although by
any standard except those established
IN this war the almost half daily and
really minor encounters would be styled
big battles.
Prsoners brought to one of the
American division headquarters to- day
were men Of the Landwehr, who con-
flrmed former statements of prisoners
that the armies engaged in the retire
ment are leaving only enough men to
resist efforts to hurry them. Like
other prisoners, they professed weari-
ness of the war, and said this feeling
was general, but supposed they muss
go on, since the men in high command
SO willed.
The Germans were slowly yielding
at midday along the southern arc Of
the Marne' salient. The American
troops in this sector continued press
ing forward, with artillery support,
against a heavy German machine gun
fire. The French have also moved their
positions ahead somewhat, with every
indication that their progress would
continue.
The Germans were still occupied to-
day in shifting the main body of their
forces northward.
$3.50 q. m.) THE Franco-American
forces on the front northeast of Cha
teau Thierry have driven the Germans
almost entirely out of the wooded area
which they have been SO stubbornly
defending The Allied pressure is
being constantly maintained. and early
to-day the punishment of the enemy
by artillery fire was resumed with
added vigor. Under cover of the guns
the Franco-American troops again be-
gan crawling forward.
The advance is bringing the Allies
still nearer to the important road
junction of Fere-en- -Tardenois. 1t is
being carried out through the remain
der of the dense woods in this region
and over the rain-soaked fields and
hills on their outskirts. Slowly re-
treating. the Germans are fighting
stubbornlV
Persistent as was the German rear
guard defence, however, the enemy's
most intense efforts to hold his lines
are still being put forth on his fanks
in the Rheims and scissors regions.

Ukrainian Strike Spreads;
No Trains Now Are Running

LONDON, July 27.-The Ukrainian
railway strike is extending and is as
suming a permanent character, accord
ing to Russian government wireless
dispatch. The higher officials are in
sympathy with the strike, which was

but because the Germans confiscated

THE IRISH CONVENTION

After reading the summaries of the report of the Irish Convention one is surprised not at the disagree ments but at the large measure of agreement that was attained questions affecting the fundamental relations that ought be established between Ireland and Great Britain a whole.
 The supreme power and authority" the Par ament of the United Kingdom sustained by a vote of 5l to 1S By vote of 49 to 16 the proposed Irish Parliament limited that it should have relations, the Crown and succession habors, coinage weights, measures patents and copyrights.
 These restrictions along the line of those set up in the Constitution of the United States re veal the wish of large majority of representative rishmen to establish local government for Ireland not unlike that of the States in the United States With this job there goes, of course, a wish to con tnue Irish representation in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. just the States represented al Washington.
 Just local pride and loyalty resulted in the respect is being paid to the peculiar interests and fears of Ulster by guaranteeing that part Ireland a dsproporonately large representation in the Irish Paraament
 The question of customs which was long a rock that threatened to split the American colonies is left open for the present under the scheme proposed by the Irish Convention. American experience pointed inevitably to the centrazaon of power levy duties in the general government but question as it is raised in Ireland is different The sefgoverning of Great Britain have their own tariff sys, tems and there is strong body of opinion in Ire land favoring equal greater degree of separation for Ireland.
