FRENCH CROWD GER=
 MANS FURTHER BACK
Important Ground on the Marne Sector Taken From Enemy-French and Italians Continue Their Drive
 in Albania,

Washington, July 12-French pres- sure along the line from the Marne to the Aisne, which began two weeks ago as 3. series of local attacks, has begun to yield results which are appreciable when viewed on the map. The town of Corey. east of the Eetz forest, has been taken from the Germans and strong positions in the vicinity have been cap- tured by the slow, methodical advance that has been the source of much sn- noyance to the enemy for several days. S
 As a result of the assaults made by the French from Ambleny, south of the Aisne, to the hills south of Cor cy, their line has been strengthened and advanced to high ground which lends itself to defensive operations and gives the French good obserya- tion points from which they can see what is going on behind the German lines.
 May Block Next Drive.
 There has been some reason for be- lieving that when the Germ 3ns resume their offensive on the western front they will attempt to break through between the Marne and .Aisae il a dc!sh straight for Paris For this .ea- son the operations which the French have carried out assume iE. portance.
 South of Corey, the German line ex, tends slightly to the westward, but it curves sharply eastward just be- fore it reaches tho Clignon river, northwest of Chateau Thierry. From the Clignon southwark to the Marne, American forces have been improving their positions and nov have strong line 70 positions running north yard from Hill 204, west of Chateau Thier- ry, to the village of Torcy.
 On the British front the Austra- Hans lave teen active once more, penetrating aGernfan positions and cap turing prisoners On the rest of the lines held by the British there have been the usual artillery duels and pa, trol engagements.
 French and Itali,n attachments are steadily pushing Austrian forces back along the western slopes of the, mOun- tains that parallel the coast of Alba. mia. They are reported north of the imDOrtpnt tow of Karat and hi, ye moved ahead in the hilly country to the east. Vienna admits the allied success in this quarter.
 In the mountain sectors of the northern Italian front, Austrian units which approaches the Italian posi- tions, have been driven back.

INTEREST SHIFTS
 TO BALKAN FRONT
Offensive in Albania May Lead to I'm. pOrtant DevelOpments-All Props Are Awaiting Next
 Hun Effort.

dispatch to the Italian embassy today from Rome said that the Italian and French troops, in their offensive in Albania, which is continuing, have cap tured 1000 prisoners including 50 off, cers, several airplanes and much war material.
 For the moment the eyes of the allied world are turned away rom tine battle front in France, where the Ger mans are believed to be prepsFing for resumption of their offensive against the positions held by the sol diers of the entente nations. The most active theater of war is in AL bania, where the French and Italisns are continuing their successes against l the Austrians.
 I While it is not expected that far reaching results will follow the move ment has interesting possibilities. Ra pid progress Of the Preach and Ital- ians, the probability that the Austro, Bulgar line to the east past Lake Ochrida may be outflenked and the possibility that an offensive may be launched along the Saloniki front give importance to the events in AL bania.
 There have been indications recent ly that an offensive might be begun in Macedonia, if for no other reason than to draw Austrian, and possibly German troops from Italy and France It is reported that the Bulgarians are war weary, and that powerful blow along the front north of Saloniki might have notable military and politi- cal results. The Teutonic allies in Macedonia have been savagely at tack:ng the entente lines, but hare been driven back.
 French Continue Attacks.
 French troops continue their often. Hsiye tactics east of the Retz forest along the line of the Marne to the Aisne. The fighting has gradually extended southward along the from southwest of So:ssons, with the French repeating their operation of pushing tEe enemy back from strong positions from which he might reach vita ground along the French line of de fense. Along the British front thers have been intermittent artillery duels deepening here and there into bonn bardments of great intensity Eas O. Amie1s the Germans have drenche( Australian positions with shells an. then attacked in an attempt to re gsi Tn territory lost when the Austra! ians and Americans attacked July 4 The enemy has been repulsed witt losses. Near Morris the British have improved their positions in a minor action.
 American Pliers Active.
 There have been no events of al unusual character along the Ameri can-heM sectors of the line, except at Chateau Thierry, where American aviators have been active. One squad ron has penetrated far behind the German lines, and it is believed il brought back valuable information.
 The situation in Russia remains ob- scure, and Germany has as yet made no move as the sequel of the assassi- nation of her ambassador, Count voa Mirbach, at Moscow.
