Washington. July S2.-Revolts and mutinies of Czecho-Slovak and Jugo- Slavs in Bohemia and Hungary, re- ported unofficially today in dispatch hold important possibilities. The Jugo-Slavs in southern Austria and along the coast to the Adriatic ex- tending north to line with the north ern boundary of Italy constitute large part of the disaffected popula- tion and their animosity to the Ger mans and their Austrian masters has been increased by the suppression on the part of the war party.
 It was pointed out today by offi- cials here that these Slavs would flock to the standard of the allies if they had chance and the onward march ing Italians and French forces on the Albanian front would give them that opportunity.

but the enemy is likely to be forced back to the line of the river Vesle which offers good defense and has good communications.
 The Germans made several heavy counter attacks on the western side of the salient and the fighting ap- pears to be growing in intensity all along this western lip. A German counter attack near Grisolles won for the Germans a light advantage but all these moves are only in the nature of an attempt to hold up the allies 
 All these counter attacks are cost ing the Germans heavily as they must be launched without adequate pre- paration and on ground ill-adapted for the German purpose.

 Paris, July 22.-Heavy German counter attacks launched to check the progress of the allies between the Marne and the Ourco today were without avail, says the war office an- tonight, and the French and British made further advances in the region of La Croix and Grisol]es as we'll as northeast of Monte St. Pere.
