Washington. Dec. 26.-President
Wilson continued today to rest from

The little girl was g. member of the
group of near relatives who dined
with the president at the White House
Christmas dinner last night. 1t was

Rome. Dec. ga company Of Italian
sailors has occupied Avlona. a seaport
of Albania, on the Adriatfc.
Recent dispatches from Athens by
way Of Paris said anarchy reigned at
Avlona and that the region around the
Albanian seaport was a prey to civil
war. Partisans of Renal Bey last
month forced the government to haul
down the Turkish flag and hoist the
Albanian. Essad Pasha. the command
er-in-chief of the Turkish forces in
Albania, then sent five hundred SOL
diers to Avlona and they disarmed the
inhabitants and restored the Turkish
flag.
Italian naval forces occupied Avlona
on October 26, but the expedition was
in the nature of a relief and sanitary
organization which purposed to aid the
large population which had taken ref
uge in the city to escape the persecu-
lions Of the insurgents. Everything
was done by tine Italian government to
remove from the expedition anything
savoring of political or territorial oc-
cupation. Pains were taken to show
that the steps taken by Italy were
merely for the purpose Of seeing that
the decision of the London conference
creating an autonomous Albania was
carried out

marching but sometimes we would
make . stand for about nine hours, 20
a. to give the remainder OF the army
corps q chance to get away. We kept
on like that until we were In about
twenty miles Of Paris when we drove
them back on September 6.
The third day that we were driving
them back our regiment was fighting
on the advance guard line, that IL. were
sent in front of the rest Of the army.
We discovered the enemy having break
fast in q valley but our cavalry dis
turbed them before we could come up.
They took up q position on railway
line but 1t did not take us very long
to drive them out of it.
Killed 500 Germans.
But while 1t lasted it was furious
fighting. There was very little artfl-
lery fire. So We soon had them on the
run again. We killed about 500 hundred
and took eight hundred prisoners. Our
losses were between twenty and thirty
killed and wounded. So you can see
1t was very good day for US. After
We had driven them out OF that place
our regiment did not do much until
they took up place on the river Aisne:
that Is where they had their main
army waiting for us.
While We were in the trenches It
was nothing else but rain and we were
sitting in about a foot of water. None
OF US had our coats as we had thrown
them all away on the retirement az we
were unable to carry them on account
OF the heat and the fighting and
marching. 1t was as much as we could
do to get along with our rifles and
ammunition. When the French re-
lieved us we went to Belgium. AS soon
as we arrived there we went into &C.
ton and had to bayonet charge to
drive the Germans out Of the trenches.
Proud Of His Regiment.
Il have been home for q fortnight.
l will have to go out again as soon az
my shoulder gets well. Our regiment
has been in every battle since the war
started and am proud to belong to
such a fighting regiment. We have
been praised several times by General
French. Our soldiers are a credit to
the country and every Englishman
ought to be proud of them. We have
beaten back he Germans about five
on one on several occasions. They will
not face our rifle fire. We fire between
90 and rs rounds minute. The Sec
ond Battalion of the Royal Berkshires
came home from India and is now at
the front. Your brother. BERT"
