Then with a savage cry the lover

case Of marriages. a stipulated price

II is this primitive race whose quar-
rel with the Turk is not very clearly
understood In the west, which Is wor-
rying the concert of Europe. In the
first place. as has been shown, the
most successful OF sultans and con-
quering generals in the heydey Of OF
toman power never succeeded In sub
DUNG the Albanians. These gallant
mountaineers acknowledged the SOW
ereignty Of the sultan only so far as It
protected them from the encroach-
ments OF other nations who would
have civilized them.
Turks NefarIous Rule.
The present trouble with the Alban-
ians began when the new constitu-
tional regime came into being In Tur-
key four years ago. The Young Turks
insisted on regarding themselves as
the dominant authority in Turkey.
This would have been all right II they
had had numerical preponderance and
the moral and intellectual ability to
dominate the other races.
All races In the Turkish dominions
have suffered during the nefarious
rule of the Young Turks secret COM
mittee of mediocre men, but none
more than the Albanians. In a few
weeks their centuries-old privileges
and immunities we're abolished, their
country was invaded by hordes OF in-
experienced officials of a race which
they held to be their interiors. their
language was tabooed In the schools
and forbidden In the printing press
unless written In Turkish characters.
their young men were drafted into the
Turkish army and sent on to Asia
Minor and the deadly Yemen to be
shot, a system OF taxation was intro
duced which threatened to drain them
as dry as their Macedonian neighbors.
and worse than all. they were notified
to surrender their firearms.
The result was rebellion. But the
Albanians could do nothing against
the trained troops equipped with ma.
chine guns which the Turks turned
against them. The rebels fed to the
and soon their little peace
ful villages were the scenes of fright
fuI massacres too horrible to recount.
Arms having failed. the Albanians de-
cided to try constitutional methods at
the general election which took place
last spring. But by violence and ire-
gal use of the army the Young Turks
secret committee, II is said, prevented
free elections not only In Albania but
throughout the empire. with the result
that a parliament OF Turks, subser-
Went to the committee Of union and
progress. was elected.
Again the Albanians rebelled. and
this time with greater success. The
army ordered against them refused to
in fact made common cause
many of them. with the rebels. This
time. instead OF having to defend |
themselves In their mountains. the Al. |
banians have been able to invade |
since when the packed"
Turkish parliament has been turned |
put and new cabinet of Young Turks
formed. The Albanians have been
promised redress OF their grievances
by the new government. But so far
hey have refused to go home They
want to see the promises of the Turks
carried out II they are not they will
march to Constantinople.

ject of more war talk than
the Balkan peninsula, and
few sections of the continent
OF Europe are less well known In the
western world. The Balkan war
cloud is familiar enough. having ap-
peared and re-appeared at intervals
for years past. yet few people know
why there should be trouble In the
Balkans. Today we are face to face
with real conflict, the very existence
OF Turkey is at stake, and even Eu-
rope may be engulfed in war. In the
very center of the conflict are the Al
banians. But who and what are the
Albanians? Well, Albania is a prov
ince Of Turkey situated to the north
Of Greece, on the eastern shore Of
the Adriatic sea.
1t is probably the least-known re-
gion in the Balkan peninsula. and
compared with the other countries In
that part of Europe. It has been but
little explored by travellers. with the
result that its Wild and fearless in
habitants. who number some 1,600. 900.
retain. to a large extent, the primi-
tive habits and customs Of lbygone
age
The country is extremely mountain
GUS. especially In the north and
south. There are no railway lines
though several have been projected.
and the development of commerce is
retarded accordingly. Carriage roads
exist in a few instances. but generally
travellers have still to pass one place
to another by means of bridle-paths.
The inhabitants. who are one Of the
most ancient races in Europe. are d.
vided into two divisions, northern
and southern. known as Ghegs and
Tosks. Both have ever been brilliant
fighters. defending their mountain
Businesses in the past with remark.
able success against all invaders.
Retain Original Customs.
In northern Albania the clan sys-
tenn still exists, and the Ghegs very
rarely pay taxes The scattered Turk
ish officers possess little authority,
and the one obligation the inhabitants
owe to the Ottoman empire is that OF
providing soldiers in time OF war. In
each clan the elders form a council
and preside over gatherings OF the
tribesmen, which exercise the supreme
legislative power. Loyalty to the
chief Of his clan. and to his work, is
the Albanian's greatest virtue. An In
born courtesy is common to the race.
The best fighter is the best man. and
every Albanian feels himcelf indepen-
dent. except when bound by the an
cient customs OF his race. In northern
Albania he recognizes no law except
that based on such ancient customs.
The Turk until recently has hardly
attempted to impose any other law.
Whether in the field or the market
place, he is nearly always armed, and
is ready to fight on the smallest pre-
text. The boy attains manhood when
he can show he possesses arms which
he has captured from an enemy. All
fire the rife as a sign Of Joy, and |
Christian congregations are summon
ed to divine service by definite num-
Der of shots.
The primitive method of revenge by.
means Of the vendetta, or blood !
feud, still obtains in the country. and |
the staying Of one member of family |
or clan leads to a series OF crimes or
to warfare. The claims Of hospitality. !

Mary Ruth Smith Of Clinton. Mo-,

At daylight Mr.. Waugh found her

Tortoises and turtles have no teeth.
Both mandibles of the parrots beak
are movables. but most birds are able
TO move only one.
The horse has no eyebrows. The
appearance Of much white In the eye
OF horse indicates a vicious nature.
The stork is partial to kittens as
an article of food, and the cats re-
c'procate by love for young storks.
The frog. owing to its peculiar
structure. cannot breathe with the
mouth open, and II II were forcibly
kept open the animal would die Of
suffocation.
Whalebone is found in the mouth Of
tne whalebone whale. where it forms
the substitute for the teeth. Of which
otherwise the animal is destitute.
Pigs are poor swimmers, their fore
legs being set closely under them.
and when they fall into the water
they sometimes cut their throats
with the sharp points of their cloven
feet. ~
