Jams Resignation.
THE ALBANIAN SITUATION
British Officials Regard the Affair
With Amusement, Saying Mr.. VIII
Iiams Was An Amateur Dip
lomat, Who Meant Well.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son has requested the resignation of
George Fred Williams, the American
Minister to Greece and Montenegro,
as a result of Mr. Williams public
statements regarding the situation in
Albania.
Mr. Williams own reports on his
statements were taken up at the Cab
met meeting and afterward Mr.. Will
son decided their effect was such that
it would be improper for Mr.. Williams
to longer represent the United States
in the Balkans.
1t has been understood that Mr.. Viii
liams, of his own accord, has forward
ed his resignation, but so far as could
be learned, it has not been received
by the President.
Officials Amazed
The term of George Fred Williams
as minister to Greece and Monte
negro has been brief, but has attracted
much attention. few weeks ago
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and
other officials were amazed by a pub
lished report that Mr.. Williams had
circularized the powers, offering his
services as a mediator in the Albanian
crisis.
The concern of administration Off
Gals was increased recently by publ
cation of a further attack on the
Albanian situation, the part of the Eu-
ropean powers and the rule of Prince
William, attributed to the Minister
So far as is known, the powers have
made no representations to Washing
ton over the Minister'S activities, but
officials would not have been surprised
if they had.
President Wilson personally called
the attention of the State Department
to the gravity of the situation, and
pointed out that no time should be lost
in letting the powers know Mr.. Will
liams was acting without the instruc
tons or approval of the United
States. The call for his resignation
followed.

Henry Monroe, Paris Banker, Makes
Revelations in An Appeal Against
Jail Sentence and
Fine.

Paris.-The opinion prevails here that

in the course of an appeal by Henry
Monroe, banker, against a Jail SEN
tence and fine for refusing to disclose
the amounts paid in France by Miss
Dolan of Brookline, Mass for dresses
seized by the American customs on
their arrival in Boston.
The French foreign Office some time
ago made representations to the
State Department at Washington in
regard to the irregularities of the
United States in maintaining secret
agents in France who were not recog-
nized by the American Embassy or
Consulate General.

terms, appeared in the press about
what is called the business spy sys-
tenn of the United States"
Andre Lesourd Miss Dolan's coun-
sci, declared that the American GUS
toms officials maintained in Paris
what amounted to a fiscal espionage
agency. The purchasers were
Swallowed by spies, he said. French
export houses were called upon to
permit all books to be examined, and
if the demand was refused, goods
destined for the United States were
held up.
M. Lesourd said that a lace maker
with whom Miss Dolan dealt, on re-
turning to his Office found a woman
there making entries from his books
She. at first pretended to be a friend
of Miss Dolan, but later admitted
that she had come from the treasury
agent In scuffle which ensued,
M. Lesourd said papers fell from the
woman's bag on which Miss Dolan's
purchases had been copied. The lace
maker later received a letter of COM
plant from the treasury agent, accord
ing to M. Lesourd and one from a
lawyer demanding Is francs damages
