London, July 11. Succesee won
by the allied troops In Albania will
add seriously to the trouble of tha

determined action In the Balkan area
where any military success must al
way have immediate and valuable
political reaction. . '
The line on whk-h fighting la go
ing on at present runs from tha
River Devoll to the Adriatic, a dis
tance of over 10 miles. In addition
to th'e French and Italian troop en
gaged In the battle, Albanian troops,
under Eaaad Paaha are fighting
against the Au&trisn and, because
of their familiarity with the country,
are In a position to give valuable as
sistance. Although the region of the allied
advance Is 70 mile from the Saloa
lkl front, there are already signs of
nervousness among the enemy troop
in that area. ' The advance In Al
bania la a aerloua threat to the right
flank of the Bulgarian armies , In
the region ot Monastir. This 1 evi

Every fresh success of the .aJlle
