Durazzo Success
Opens New Way
Into Macedonia
BY CARL ID. GROAT

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Oct 4.-Ameri-
can-allied smashing OF the Austrian
naval base at Durazzo will have a
marked effect upon the Macedonia
operations.
One OF the navy departments
highest officials today noted that
this operation will materially clear
a way for freer passage of men,
munitions and supplies in the
Macedonian region. He pointed out
that the Austrians have three inn
portant bases on the eastern
shores OF the Adriatic-Pola, Cattaro
and Durazzo.
Pola is the most important and
shelters larger and more numerous
vessels than the other two.
Cattaro has been one of the well
protected points where Austrian
vessels could put in during raiding
operations. Durazzo has harbored
quite a number of Austrian craft
at various times and has offered
a certain menace to transportation
of men and munitions.
Victory Important
The naval authorities quoted said
the moral effect OF this victory
would be enormous. The Austrian
vessels will be forced farther north

Because OF this. and with Albania

OF supplies and men TO the Near

that the Durazzo blow was signifi-

and navy operations.
