Austrians Fleeing From Albania. British and Americans
Between St. Quentin and Cambria Continue Victorious
Advance. Movement to Force Huns Out Of Sub
marine Bases on North Sea Coast
ALLIES ARE VICTORIOUS ALL ALONG THE Line

Rome, October 4.-American, British
and Italian warships have destroyed the
warships anchored there, according to
an announcement made by Premier
Orlando.
The attack on Durazzo occurred at
noon Wednesday, when Italian and
British cruisers, protected by Italian
and allied torpedo boats and American
destroyers succeeded in making their
way through mine fields and avoiding
attacks by submarines got into DuraZzo
harbor. An intense bombardment fol-
lowed until the base and the Austrian
ships anchored there were completely
destroyed.
Italian sailors, in the teeth of hot
enemy fire, torpedoed an Austrian de-
stroyer and steamer. Another vessel
which was recognized as hospital
ship, was allowed to withdraw.
British and Italian airplanes cooper.
ated in the work. Other Italian and
allied warships were drawn up in order
of battle outside of the harbor to deal
with any enemy warships coming up TO
the assistance of the port.
No losses or damage were suffered by
the allied squadrons except slight
injury to British cruiser by tor
pedo from an enemy submarine.
Durazzo is seaport in Albania
fifty-three miles south of Scutari. 1t
is situated on peninsula in the Adri
attic sea. For sometime past it has
been a base for Austrian operations in
Albania.
Lens, the heart of the great coal re
ion in northern France, and Armen
there's, almost equally important as 8
manufacturing center, have been evacu
ated by the Germans; the Germans
fortified positions between Cambria
and st. Quentin have been definitely
smashed, and the Austro- -Hungarians il
Albania, forsaken by the Bulgarians
their former allies, are in full retrea
northward from the Adriatic sea tt
Lake Ochrida.
OF the reconquering of invaded Bel
gium and the progress of the French
and Franco American forces respective
ly, north of Rheims and eastward il
Champagne to the vicinity of Verdun
the tale remains the same-the Ger
mans slowly but surely are being forcet
everywhere to give ground and thei
vital defenses daily continue to be eat
en- into, notwithstanding the strong re
sistance against the efforts of the allie
to close in on all sides of the grea
battle arc from the North sea to tn
Swiss border and compel the German
high command to reconstruct it's fight
ing line
In Belgian Flanders the Belgian
French and British troops are keepin
up their eastward progress in their en-
deavors to compel the Germans to Civ
up Ostend and Zeebrugge, their nava
bases on the North sea.
Roulers, the important railway juno
ton, with its lines Of steel radiating
the North sea and eastward to Chem
has Leen entered by the Belgians, an
al Hooglede, to the north, King Al
bert's men arc virtually upon tn
RoulersO sOstend-Bruges railway. To tn
south Menin and Courtrai are seriousl
menaccd.
Across the border in France the cal
ture of A1mcntieres brings Lille, cap
tai of the Department of The Moro
within striking distance, and the evacr
alton of Lens places Douai, the fortres
northeast of Arras, and all the terr
tory between Arras and Menin virtua
ly in the hands of the British.
