ITALIANS FIGHT FOR
RECOVERY EC ()V Of SERBIA
Offensive in Albania to Be Ex-
tended to Aegean-Teutons
Must Weaken italian Front.

London.-The Franco italian drive In
Albania and Macedonia is now occupy
ing the attention OF military critics to
the exclusion OF the awaited offensive
on the western front.
1t is the general belief that the Of
fensive is more than a series of small
attacks-that It is. In fact. the begin
ming OF an allied campaign for the re-
demption of Serbia.
The fighting since the drive began
on Monday has been done mostly by
the Italians. on the western end of the
battle line stretching from the Adriatic
to the Aegean seas. II Is expected.
however, that within the next few days
the allies will extend the scope of their
offensive to the east, and the Serbian.
French and British troops holding the
line between Monastir and Saloniki will
! attack the Bulgarians in force.
Monastir has been held by the little
Serbian army since IT was recaptured
in 1916. The strongest positions held
by the Austrians are just north of the
city and about Lake Doiran.
Albania to Be Cleared.
The allied campaign has been di-
rected first towards clearing Albania
of the Austrians, driving them back
toward the Serbian border. When this
Is accomplished the Teutons will be
subjected to increased pressure op-
posite Monastir and on their right
wing along the Serbian border.
This will force a retirement along n
line OF more than 200 miles. and. II

along the whole front.
The offensive has been pressed with
the same vigor that marked the Ital-
ian counter attacks in Venetia last
month. An Albanian army, under Es-
sad Pasha, has given valuable aid TO
the Italians because of its intimate
knowledge of the difficult country.
Austrian Line Weak. 4.
The center of the line is held by
Montenegrins, Serbians and French
troops. while the British. aided by
Greek detachments, are holding the
right flank toward the Aegean.
The rapfdity with which tho Aus
trians fell back along the River Semini
before the initial advance indicates
that their line was thiniy held. prob
ably having been weakened by NOV
ing troops to the Italian front for the
recent offensive there.
The allies have taken advantage Of
this fact. as 1t was expected they
would. A continuation Of the drive
will force Austria and Germany to
withdraw troops from France and italy
to reinforce their armies In the Bal
kans. Bulgaria can be counted on for
but little further help. as most Of its
army is already in the line. Turkey
may be called on by the Teutons, how
ever, to help the Huns hold Serbia.

Accordingly the intervention of
