The latest news from Albania shows that the Italian forces

of occupation are being very hard pressed by a sudden rising of the Albanians against foreign domination. At the beginning of the week it was reported that all the inland posts of the Italians in Southern Albania had been cut off, Dulcigno and Antivari had been abandoned, and Avlona itself was closely besieged. The Italian troops were not numerous enough to hold the heights which encircle Avlona, and were being supported by naval gunfire. It is probably a mere coincidence that Eased Pasha, formerly President of the Albanian Provisional Government which succeeded Prince William in 1914, was assassinated by a fellow-countryman in Paris last Sunday.
