(By The Assoclated Press.) While waiting for the German high command to show its hand in begin- ning a new assault, the allied forces on the western front are giving the enemy litfle opportunity to perfect his arrangement for launching his ex- pected attack.

This particular blow was struck by the French west of the Oise and north of the M2z river, on the battlefield where the Germans were stopped short thielr attempt to hew their way through to.

While the fighting on the Macedonian and Albanian frontiers must remain a side issue to the great battles that are expected momentarily in France, and northern Italy, the progress of the French and Italians along the Albanian coast brings that theatre of the war into consideration. Rapid strides have been made since French and Italian assault was launched north of Aviona on July 6. Strong Austrian positions have been stormed and it appears that the allies have been successful in turning the Austrian right wing.

EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA HAS BEEN SLANDERED. Prostrated by Inputations Which In- volved Her Honor as a Woman. Ameterdam. July 9.—Denying ru- mors which have been circulating in Austria-Hungary regarding Empress the Tijd say “It is true the Austrian empress partly desires peace and has with proper dignity advocated it. but the rumor that an energetic Austrian of- fensive against Italy was delayed by her influence is slanderous, as also is the rumor that the empress was to blame for one or two setbacks which followed the offensive. “It is still more slanderous to in- volve her honor as a woman. The empress, whose sensitiveness is well known, suffered not a little under the imputations, which have driven her to -|a sick bed. “The slander is more painful as it even assailed the wedded fidelity which so_distinguished the conduct of the imperial couple.” FOOD SHORTAGE IN AUSTRIA IS GROWING MORE ACUTE.
