TREATY OF ABDICATIoN
IL REBnf'PI,n SIcNI.f,


Rome. May :i.--According To IA dis
patch to tho Tribna, Prince William
OF Albania has signed n treaty of abdi-
ca ton. This. however, has not been
! confirmed and the exact situation In
Albania Is obscured.
The Italian minister at Durazzo In
dispatch 10 his government says an
| engagement between the insurgents
ana the GcHdarmerio resulted LII the
! capture of the Dutch officers by the
@endarmerie. lie further indicates that
| Prince William, under compulSion. has
signed Il document. conceding certain
OF the insurgcnt demands.
1t is understood that both Austria
aad Italy are sending warships to
! DurazZo.
INSUPEtABL; OBSTACLES
IN WAY OF FORMING STATE;
Almost insupcrable obstacles, in tho
opinion Of observers. have stood In the
way of evolving a state out of Albania.
| The race is divided into three factions
by adherence to tho Mohammcdan,
Catholic and Orthodox religions. and
there is n further tribal and clannish
| subdivision. with the blood feud In
full force, and little power OF cohesion
in language scarcely rcducible to
writing.
Albanians were favorltes of the old
regime in Turkey and rose to high
rank, but the attempt of the Young
ment, draft recruits and collect taxes
precipitated q revolution. The Balkan
War intcrvcned. and the Albanlans re-
sentful after tho rcpriSalS, were blamed
by the Turks for bctraying their cause
| by their indifference To the success OF
Turkish arms.
! The troops Of the Balkan allies over
ran Albania without opposition except
that 1T the fortresses OF Scutari and
| Janina. Austria'S determination
caused Albania To he evacuated by the
Balkan troops. and added to the list OF
Balkan States. Five or six different
governments. including u republic, were
set mp in Albania In the interim.
CONFERENCE At LONDON
| DECIDES on NEW RULER
| Turkish hopes that Albania might
remain under the suzeralnty OF the
Sultan were disappointed at tho Lon
don conference. which decided that
Albania should be an autonomous
state. and that a prince should be nomi :
mated TO rule over the country. In the
meantime, n commission of control,
composed of one representative OF each
administration. with the aid OF q gend-
! armcric.

NINE DISASTERS SHOW DECREASE.
Improved Methods introduced by United
States Bureau of Mines.

|. Mine disasters come before the pub
lie as peculiarly horrible instances of
quick death through accidents in which
the victims more often than not are
unable to help themselves. And il, in
stead of being killed, the miners are en-
tombed and subjected to a process OF
slow torture which may end in suffo-
cation, the dramatic quality of the dis
aster is all the more powerful as a
means OF attracting public interest. For
this reason. say the operators, mining
has come to be looked upon as the most
hazardous OF occupations in which many
men are employed. But they quote fig
ures to show that in proportion to the
men employed there are more men in
jured in both the steel industry and on
railroads than in mining.
The fact remains. however, that enor-
nous numbers of men are injured and
killed in coal mines. But this is not TO
be attributed, as a rule. to lack of Wig
ilanee on the part of operators. They
have adopted the safety first" idea
with commendable promptness. Under
government supervision safety devices
OF the most improved kind have been in
stalled and suggestions for lessening
danger have been indorsed and put into
practice. Recently the United States
buefau OF mines. tnrouEn rIsNiaiiN
appointed committee. recommended i'm
proved methods of resuscitation and of
treating injuries due to electric shock.
Statistics issued by the bureau show
that during recent years there has been
decided decrease in the number of
fatalities. For the five years from 1907
to 1919. for instance. the number of
deaths each year was lowered from 3.la1
TO 1880. and the number of tons mined
to death was raised from $4,000 to
233.000: and, on the basis of deaths
to 100000 short tons, the rate was
lowered from 6.e3 to 3.l5, clear re-
duction of more than 80 per cent. These
figures show that the combined efforts
OF operators and the government bureau
are accomplishing satisfactory results.
Further reductions are possible, OF
course. and since there seems to be no
sign of abatement in the remedial activ
tiles, steady decline in the death rate
may be expected.-Indiannpolis News.

SAD DAYS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Class in "Jograffy" Unable to Keep Up
with Rapid Change in Events.

St Petersburg changed its name TO
Petrograd. Paris abolished the Rue Ber-
lin. French manufacturers rebaptized
their pcrfumery Eau de Louvan" in

In London last week Liszt's famous
Hungarian Rhapsody was called for in
connection with the appearance of the
Russian ballet. 1t appeared on the pro.
gram as Liszt's "Servian Rhapsody"
For war that has no name of its
own this struggle is playing more hob
with the names of other things than
seems either logical or admirable.
Meico makes the decentralization of the
geography even more complete.
The French capital is not Paris, but
Bordeaux; the Servian capital is not
Belgrade. but Nish; st. Petersburg is

EXTENT OF CHILD LABOR IS
GIVEN OFFICIAL MEASURE
FIGURES GATHERED BY UNITED
STATES CENSUS BUREAU.
ONLY Nine States of Union Have Laws
Fully Protecting Children from
Rapacious Employers.

A pamphlet, "The Extent of Child
Labor Officially Measured" based on
the new volume of the last United
States census, has just been published
by the national child labor committee
to show the amount of child labor in
this country. The census volume gives
figures for children 10 to Is only, omit
ting all figures for children under ten,
and the national child labor committee
states that since many children under
ten are known to be at work, the num-
Der of child laborers, given in the CEN
sus as 1890, ,225, would undoubtedly be
1000 600 were the children under ten in
cluded.
But the results of the work of the
national child labor committee and its
affiliated organizations are shown IN the
reduction of the number of children un-
der Ia engaged in non-agricultural pur-
suits, from ls6, ,35s in 1900 to $3.50 in
1910.
The pamphlet calls particular atten-
tion, however, to the need of protection
for the children working at agriculture,
who are often thought to be employed
under better conditions than mill hands.
Children employed in the Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey berry and
vegetable fields, and in the Texas cot
ton fields, are cited as examples of ag-
ricultural lsbor-rs who work under IA
vorable conditions and who, according to
the testimony of school authorities, are
receiving little OF no education or in
dustrial training.
OF the s59,916 children under IA at
work ,3sl. or 65 per cent, are en-
ployed in the eight states where there
Is no l4-year age limit for work in fac
tories, or in the ten other states where
the l4-year limit is weakened by exemp-
tions The passage of the Palmer-Owen
hill. now before Congress, to prohibit
interstate commerce in the products Of
child labor, would greatly reduce the
number of children under ii at work
in factories in these states, and is there
fore eagerly sought by the opponents OF
child labor.
Other children who would be affected
by the passage of the Palmer-Owen bill
are those between Il and 10 who are
allowed TO work at night in l3 states,
who work eight hours a day in 20
state, and who may be employed in
mines in 10 mining states. There are
only nine states in the Union which
have all the provisions of the Palmer
Owen bill. so that its passage would
greatly reduce the amount of child la
Dor and make the number of child work
crs given in the next census much less
than 100000.

Take that, you slob," handing Germany

the jaw of the guy that slaps my

1 do" says Japan, as she squares off
for a hand in the game. ''Well, 1 guess
you started it, anyhow" says Wilhelm
to Nick. Just then everybody begins to
yell: You started it yourself and each
one sticks out his tongue at the other
