DECLARE FOR

EUROPE BELIEVES
VIENNA THE PROMPTER

BY The United Press
BUDAPEST. Nov. % The Alban-
ian chieftains declared their coun-
try's independence today Il was
learned here through Montenegrln
sources
The declaration of Albania's inde-
pendence brings the Austro-Servian
controversy Immediately to a head.
Il is through Albania that Seryia
must get its Adriatic window If IL
is to have one at all A nominally
Independent Albania will be under
Austrian control Austria and Italy
together VIII choose it's ruler He
viii be virtually in Austria's employ,
though the wishes Of the Italians who
are themselves interested IN what
happens on, the east side of the Ad-
riatic will be given due consideration.
Austria has been waiting anXiously
for the independence proclamation. It
was considered here that the declara-
ton was probably inspired from
Vienna Austria. Italy and Germany
are expected TO recognize az once.
Servia Will have TO make up it's
mind Immediately what course TO
adopt The prediction was made by
high authorities that the next few
hours will show. in view of the latest
development, whether there is TO be
peace or war between the powers.

RED CROSS SEALS
ARE PLACED ON SALE

The sale Of Red Cross Christmas
Seals has begun IN earnest in this
city A large number OF the shops
have taken them and several public
schools are working. The moving
picture houses have been supplied by
the National Society with slides and
arc being used Several large cor
porations are taking seals for their
December mail and the sale in the
corridor Of the post Office will begin
early next month. Last year the re-
turns were not as large as In pre-
vious years This was due TO the
confusing order which came from
Washington in regard TO their use on
the fact OF mail matter and on mail
sent TO certain foreign countries.
There was so much confusion last
year that this latter order was re-
scinded but not until it was too late
to be Of material assistance. This
year seals may be placed on all for
egn mail but they must be placed
on the back of everything The roa-
son for this is to save confusion
among the post Office clerks in ac-
counting for the postage charges.
n is expected that enough money
will be cleared from the sale this year
