proceeded to pick Admiral Won Hintze,
the trickiest and most disreputable of
Teuton diplomats, as his successor.

Military operations of prime lmpor-
lance last week were confined to AL
banla, field Of which little has been
heard for a long time. There the
Italians and French got very busy and,
with the aid of British naval forces
in the Adriatic, started an offensive
that met with considerable success
and Is still progressing as this Is writ
ten. Within q few days the allied
forces had advanced more than TWEEN
ty-hve miles on battle front sixty
miles long. had captured Fieri, an inn
portant town eight miles from the
| AdratiC, and had practically sur
rounded Berat, the chief city of south
ern Albania. They also had occupied
mouptaln positions of great strategic
value. Before the week closed the
Austrians had evacuated Berat.
This Albanian offensive was counted
on to have great political effect, es-
pecially in Austria-Hungary and
among the small nations Of the Bal
! kans. Already 1t had caused evident
uneasness among the forces of the
central powers that face the allies
from the Adriatic to Saloniki. In
Macedonia they made several costly
and vain attacks on the allies. The
+ apparent objective Of the allies in Al
bania Is the Shlumbi valley and the
old Roman road, the Via Egnatla,
leading to the Vardar valley and open
Ing the way to movement toward the
east that would outflank the enemy
north Of Monastir.
If the Austrians are decisively de-
feated in this region the kaiser may
force them to accept Won Below as
their generalisslmo, despite their pro-
tests The efforts to Germanize the
Austrian general headquarters have
stirred up the already angry people

When the news came of the aSsas-
slnation of Count Won Mlrbach, Ger
man ambassador to Russia, in Mos
COW, at the instigation of group of
social revolutionists, there were
many predictions that the kaiser
would get revenge by sending a great
army to occupy the chief Russian
cities, and indeed it was semi-otticial-
ly stated In Berlin that such would be
his course. But after breaking Off
diplomatic relations the chief Hun ap-
parently thought better of it and a
mild statement was issued hoping
that the Russian government and peo-
pie will succeed in nipping the pres
ent revolutionary agitation in the
bud" 1t Is not easy to see how Ger
many would gain much by further
grabbing in distracted and starving
Russia.

There were no major operations on
the Italian front last week, but the
Italians increasingly harassed the
enemy by raids and sorties and in the
mountain region improved their own
positions considerably. The American
aviators on that front kept up their
excellent work.
On the western front there was an
ominous silence on the part of the
Huns. The usual 40 days needed by
them to organize new drive had
nearly expired, but still they did not
start However, abnormal activity was
observed behind their lines, especially
in the regions where the Americans
are stationed. On Tuesday the French
undertook the first considerable In
fantry operation In many days and,
with the aid of tanks, advanced more
than mile on a front of two and a
half miles northwest OF Compiegne.
Prisoners and guns were captured and
positions occupied that serve to pro-
tect the important railway junction at
Estrees-St. Denis. General Petain also
took important ground east of the
Retz forest on the Marine front. There
were many raids by all the allied
forces during the week, and some ar
tlllery activity beyond the ordinary in
the British sectors.

been arrested and many of them, in
Guiding 30 socialist members of parlia-
ment, executed. Because of the num-
erous executions there, he said, the
town Of Sveaborg has been renamed
Golgotha. Finland is on the point of
starvation, despite its German friends,
and General Mannerheim, commander
of the Finnish army, asked Mr.. Nor
ris, American minister to Sweden,
what chance there was for Finland to
get food from the United States. Mr..
Morris told him plainly it was very
slim so long as Germany held the
country under her control. Ostensibly
as a measure to save food, the Finnish
government has ordered the expulsion
of all Jews.

In preparation for the next big drive
Won Hindenburg called for a million
more men, to be taken from the fac
tories, their places being filled by pris-
oners and foreigners, and, contrary to
agreements, by exchanged prisoners of
war. Recruits of sixteen, seventeen
and eighteen years are being called,
and everything indicates that the su-
preme command is straining every
nerve to end the war this year. To
encourage the troops there has been
a systematic campaign to mislead
them as to Americas participation in
the war. The people now refuse to
believe we are taking an active part
In the conflict or that there are more
than a few thousands of our men in
France.

scandal resulted, and extremists in
Vienna are asserting that both the
emperor and the empress should be
literally sequestered and made to take
orders from Berlin. Hungary, too, is

There have been many stories Of
the declining morale of the German
troops, due partly to the prevalence
Of Spanish influenza, but 1t would be
foolish to grow optimistic over these

The senate gave big boost to the

voting In favor of the prohibition

their defeat since the move for war
