The Montenegrins do not feed the

allow their families is one kilo of
maize daily. The Albanian relief COM
Inittee is deep in debt. and, owing to
the false report that an American
millionaire. Mr. Crane. had given 50o.-

Mr.. Crane gave the Albanians 10000

The Montenegrin crops have failed.
and. even If peace were now declared
the Malissori have no harvest to look
forward to this year.
Unless prompt help comes more than
100000 highanders will have no
means of existence. Statements about
the Malissori cave jewellers and the
stories OF their awful misery are not
