EMPHASIZES DANGERS
FACED BY ALBAN|ANS
George Fred Williams, Minister to
Greece, Renews Criticism of
Conditions There.

ATHENS. July 3.-George Fred Will
liams, American minister to Greece, who
recently made public a report of his
Investigations in Albania, in which he
denounced the international commission
of control and declared the present
regime in Albania was impracticable,
has issued a new statement, justifying
his former statement, and emphasizing
the danger menacing Epirus through the
rapid advance Of the Albanian rebels.
Counsels the Leaders.
Mr. Williams says that in the face
of serious situation-Avlona menaced
from the north by the Mussulman in
surgents and from the south by the
Epirotes-he counse1ed the leading men
of that region to arrange an understand
ing with Biographies and proclaim their
independence. which. he says, would
have been realized except that the ar
rival Of the Austrian warships and a
German delegate to the international
commission stopped negotiations.
He emphasizes the danger of the stu
alton created by the parallel advance
of Epirotes and Mussulmans, and fears
that the powers will not be able to pre-
it is Europe's duty to dispatch troops
to defend Epirus. and repeats his as
Sertion that "Albania is fitted for self
government If 1t can be diSembarras sed

Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse in Despair.

The four babies Of Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse grew very fast. and four
very lively babies they were 1t was
some time before Danny could tell them
apart. You see when they were very.
very little. before they had any clothes
at all, they looked exactly alike to Danny
He didn't pretend to tell them apart then.
He said they were as much alike as four
blades of grass from the same stem. and
for his part he didn't believe that there
was the teeniest. weeniest difference.
Nanny was indignant. There is. too"
she asserted. They are wrinkled Diff
ferently: SO now"
Danny smiled. They were wrinkled.
There was no question about that He
was quite willing to take Nanny's word
for II, that the wrinkles were different
on the four darlings. but. as he said. what
was the use of learning to tell them apart
by their wrinkles when they would so
soon have little fur coats to cover up
all the wrinkles. What good would they do
then? He would have to learn all over
again to tell them apart But Danny
didn't have to wait long for them to get
those little fur coats You see. like a
great many little people Of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest. Meadow
Mice have no underwear, and SO they
wear fur coats even in hot weather: only
then the fur coats are very, very much
thinner than the ones they wear in
winter. Well. when they did get them.
Danny was more puzzled than ever, for.
of course. they looked more alike than
ever.
But when he and Nanny decided to
name the babies Danny studied them
very carefully, So that he would know
which was which. One they named
Teeny. Danny was sure that he could
remember Teeny by the way in which
he kept his ears. all the time wide open,
so as not to miss anything. Weeny
was the name of another, and Danny
hoped he would be able to tell her
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-07-03

when he saw her by the twinkle in her
eyes, for Weeny was very, very merry.
The third was named Midget and Danny
was sure he could tell her because she
didn't have her ears forever cooked, as
did Teeny and her eyes were not merry
as were Weenys. The last one of all
was named Mite. and Danny was abso-
lutely sure Of him. because his tail was
shorter than it really ought to have been.
Danny thought tie tails Of all Meadow
Mice shorter than they ought to be. but
this time there was no doubt about 1t
at all. Mites tail was shorter than the
tails of his brother and sisters.
1t was the day on which the babies
were named that Danny and Nanny had
their great fright and were thrown into
the deepest despair. No one had found
out their secret yet. and they were
hoping no one would, anyway-not until
the children were old enough and big
enough to take care OF themselves. Then
without any warning whatever something
terrible happened. Both Danny and
Nanny were home at the time Without
the least warning the whole upper half of
that old pile Of cornstalks in which
they had built their home was lifted off.
and there was their home exposed to the
view of whoever happened along! Can
you imagine anything more dreadful? And
yet Danny and Nanny feared something
their little home was-whom do you
think? Why Farmer Browns boy, to be
sure. 1t was he who had lifted Off
the upper half of the old pile OF corn
stalks. He was cleaning up. and Of
course. he hadn't known anything about
that nice home of Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse.

stain be first removed. If not, at least
three coats of the white or ground gray

hours should elapse between the coats of
paint and the same length of time before
the enamel is applied. One coat Of
enamel Is all that is necessary.

MARKET GARDENER.
Copyright, 1914. BY w. Werner.>

Copyright. 1914. by W. Werner)
The sunshine of June morning fell
warmly upon the white walls and gray
roof Of 3. small cottage set in a market
garden, and upon the figure OF young
green parsley. Now and then she called
to a small boy on the back stoop tying
into punches of marketable size radishes,
carrots and onions.
I want you to bunch the parsley when
you've finished. Tommy" she directed
once. Il have an order of roses and
sweet peas to cut for Besler."
When her basket was filed she went
into the flower garden, which commanded
view of the road leading to town She
rarely looked that way when she was
busy in her garden. but this morning
for moments her glance travelled down
the long. winding road. resting with a
definite sadness on house of colonial
architecture standing out conspicuously
among its less assuming neighbors.
Three years before it had been her
home and the little cottage with it's
market garden had been rented or al
lowed to lie idle. either condition being
mother and daughter. Mrs Torrington
held it only because Margaret found at
tractive a certain quaintness. Besides
the girl sometimes said, you never can
tell what 1t may mean to us some day"
lnWardly she laughed at her words, I'M
III there came day when they proved
OF stupendous import in her life With a
sWiftness which was crushing i'll advised
investments of her mothers swept their
beautiful home out of their hands, cut
short her education and made of her a
helpless, hopeless girl, looking out upon
the world through very dark colored
glasses. She had hardly known the value
OF dollar before, her mother had ever
been LAVISH with them. and now
Suddenly It came to her that the little
mother she adored, such delicate little
mother as long as she could remember,
was entirely dependent on her. When she
fully grasped just what that must mean
10 her with new womanliness she
resolutely marshaled her resources and
looked the future in the face.
Going to the city and seeking a posi-
ton as day governess was out of the
question. and she decided she would
utilize the cottage with its market gar
den, which was untenanted just then
And she made good in the three years.
Her market garden was 1ourishing She
had steady demand from shops in town
