UPL|FT OF ALBANIA.
William of H-ied and His Wife are
Hard at Work

Darazzo, Albania, May 13--Now
you don't see il, and now you do. .
This reversal OF the old sleigh--of-
hand formula, Prince William o. Al
Dania is finding a great deal more
difficult than the naturalization of
its original form. To make disappear
an already existing kingdom, espec-
tally one as small as Albania, Prince
William is finding Would-be mere
child's play compared with making
the world see new kingdom where
there wasn't one before, and where
as a matter of fact, there was mighty
little out of which TO make one. Yet,
when the United Press correspondent
visited Durazza, capital of the newly
created Albania, less than three
months after Prince William had be-
come its sovereign, it was more than
apparnet that the latter had already
demonstrated his ability TO put over
one eventually on the sleight-of-hand
men. That there is going to be an
actual kingdom of Albania where
formerly there was only a theoreti-
cal, automatically created one,
there can be no further doubt.
The creation of Albania into a sep
| arate. independent kingdom, after j,
| had been redeemed from the Turks
| by the Servians, Greeks and Monte
| negrians during the two recent Bal
kan wars, was decided on by the dip
| lomats of the leading European
/ powers as the only way to prevent an
eventual European war. Austria
| Italy, Greece, Servia and Bulgaria
were all determined to grab Albania
and it seemed certain that when one
/ grabbed all would grab with inevi
table disastrous results for the
| peace of Europe as a whole. When
| however, on March z, Prince William
landed at Durazzo, the capital of this
automatically created kingdom, he
found that the, decision itself was
about the only tangible thing there
