Last Saturday the Italians and the French in Southern Albania

began an advance on a wide front in the wild mountainous country between the Vojusa Valley, north of Valona, and Ochrida Lake. British monitors bombarded the Austrian positions on the coast. The Italian and French infantry, helped by British airmen, attacked the enemy's hill positions to the south and east of Beret, while the Italian cavalry, moving along the shore, reached the Semeni River in rear of the enemy, destroyed the bridges, and occupied Fieri. By Tuesday the Allies had taken about fifteen hundred prisoners and were still advancing. This diversion must be very unwelcome to the enemy at a time when Austria needs all her troops in Italy, and Bulgaria is becoming restive.
