In some parts of the empire. notably
in Macedonia and the territories con-

Servia. Montenegro. Bulgaria and
Greece, the latter are assembled IN
communities, of course with some nom

there Is constant strife n pickering.
In the words of a recent writer, the
empire is "seething with racial strife"
1t is too much to hope that the proud.
fanatical Turk and the Albanians. for

them are nominally at least Moslems.
But they are all lighters and haters of
the Mohammedan rule in their u

northwestern parts Of the empire
Even the protested Albanian Mussul-

and are so lax in their observance OF
