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

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

nervousness among the enemy troop
in that area. ' The advance In Al

Every fresh success of the .aJlle
