ITALIANS PRESS ON
IN ALBANIA Drive
Huns Fall Back on Skumbi
River North Of Berat.

London, July 12-Italian troops on
their offensive in Albania continue to
advance, says despatch from Rome
to the Central News agency.
The Austro-HungarianS are falling
back on the Skumbi river, twenty-five
miles north of Berat
Although the region of the allied adj
vance is seventy miles from the Sa-
lonika front, there are already $ 'gnS
of nervousness among the enemy
troops in that area.
The advance in Albania is a serious
threat to the right flank of the Bulgar
armies in the region of MonaStir. This
is evidently appreciated by the enemy
and, too, it will have the effect of bring
ing to the side of the allies many
from the hill tribes. which are among
the finest fighters in the world. Every
fresh success of the allies will heart
en- the south Slav races, who are al
ready in revolt against their Austri-
an rulers.
A further short advance will bring
the allies to Berat, the chief town of
Southern Albania. and it is signifi
cant that Austrian official statements
admit the progress of the French and
Italians.

,ZcECHS ALTER RUSS PLANS
Their Success HaIts U. Sailed Mill
tary Preparations.

Washington, July 1.-THE remark
able success of the CZecho-Slovak le-
gion in Siberia has had the effect of
suspending the preparations OF plans
by the entente powers and the Unit
cd States for the organization OF an
international military force to cam
paign in Siberia.
1t is stated authoritatively none of
the plans considered had met the OBJ
lection of the United States govern
ment that they involved a weakening
of the western front in Europe.
Besides this objection, there has
been a reluctance on the part of the
administration to depart from its pol
lev of non-interference in the internal
affairs of a friendly country. 1t has
been admitted an exception might be
justified in the case of Siberia if it
were clearly established that the ma
tive population was forcibly dominat-
ed by Austro- German soldiers and in
fiuence.
1t is understood an agreement to
try the American proposal to assist
the Russians economically to rehabili-
tate themselves between the entente
and the Washington authorities had
progressed when the news of the
Czecho-Slovak campaign in Siberia
came.
This demonstrated the necessity for
revision of any plans for military
campaign in that country. 1t was said
that the developments were so sud-
den and unexpected it was not now
possible Il, decide just how and when
Military aid should be extended.
