ITALY SEXES AvLoNA.
Italians Land Force on Seaport of Al.
bania-May Cause Complications

A company Of Italian sailors FRI
day occupied Avlona, seaport Of AL
bania, on the Adriatic Sea-
Recent dispatches from Athens
said anarchy reigned at Avlona and
that the region around the Albanian
seaport was prey to civil war. Par
tisans Of Kemal Bey last month fore
ed the government to haul down the
Turkish flag and hoisted the Albanian
colors. Essad Pasha, comnander-in-
chief Of the Turkish forces In Alba
mia, then sent 500 soldiers to Az
Iona and they disarmed the inhabi-
tants and restored the Turkish flag.
Italian naval forces occupied Az
Iona October 26, but the expedition
was in the nature Of relief and sani-
tary organization to aid the large pop
ulation which had taken reguge II
the city from the prosecutions Of the
insurgents.
Everything was done by the Ital-
ian government to remove from the
expedition anything savoring Of po-
iitical or territorial occupation. 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
autonomy Of Albany was carried out.

WANTS CONsULs WITHDRAWN.
Germany Notifies Z. S. That Consul:
Must be acceptable to Governor.

Secretary Bryan had before him for
consideration the formal notification
from Germany that American consuls
in Belgium must be acceptable to the
German military authorities and ask
ing for the withdrawal of certain con-
suls for the present at least. The
United States now has consular repre-
sentatives only in Brussels, Antwerp,
Liege and Ghent. Since the war broke
out they have been engaged chiefly IN
looking after refugees and aiding in
relief work, as there was little regu-
lar work to do.
Although the text Of the communi-
cation has not been made public, it is
believed in official circles to be SINH
lar to the one sent Argentina and
other neutral countries, and that.
while the Berlin government is not
insistent that consuls in Belgium take
out new exequaturs from German off,
Gals, it announces that such consuls
must perform their duties only by
permission from the military author
tiles controlling the territory in which
the consulate is located.

MUST PAY BIG DAMAGES
PRESIDENT COMMENTS ON NOTE
SENT 10 GREAT BRITAIN.
Ambassador From the Netherlands
Says holland Had Already Protest
ed-U. S. Adds Weight.

President Wilson, referring to the
American note to Great Britain, in
sisting on better treatment for Ameri-
can commerce, declared that large
damages eventually would have to be
paid by England for unlawful deten-
ton of American cargoes.
The president pointed out that
many protests had been sent in speci-
fic cases and that If the contention OF
the American government We're cor
rect, as he was firmly convinced it
was, plans for indemnihcation ulti-
mately would have to be net by Great
Britain.
Supplementary to previous pro-
tests, the new note, President Wilson
explained, represented fully the
American position. He said that so
far as theory was concerned, there
was no debate on the point raised, be-
cause England herself, in previous
wars, had taken exactly the American
position.
The president said the government
could deal confidently with the sub
ject, only if supported by absolutely
honest manifests. He said the great
embarrassment to the government in
dealing with the whole matter was
that some shippers had concealed con-
traband in the cargoes Of non-contra-
band articles, for example, under q
cargo of cotton. So long as there
were instances Of that kind, the pres
ident said, suspicion was cast on
every shipment and all cargoes were
liable to doubt and to search.
The president added the note was
not based on any treaties between the
United States and Great Britain. but
on the generally accepted principle OF
international law. Publication Of the
substance Of the American note this
morning created widespread interest
in the capital.
Foreign diplomats, especially those
from neutral countries. discussed ii
and ccngressmen who had protested
to the state department on behalf OF
merchants and shippers Of copper,
-four. wheat, foodstuffs, cotton and
other products in which trade has

faction at the attitude Of the govern
ment.
Some administration officials ex-
pressed the view that when Great
Britain realized the extent Of public
opinion on the subject in the United
States her attitude would be modified
and American industries hitherto
halted would go forward.
The minister from The Neither
lands called at the state department
to obtain for his government copy
Of the American note to Great Brit
ain.
he conferred with Counsellor Ian
sing, who prepared fer hin, memo
randum giving the subst ice of the
note. AS the minister left the de-
partment he said the information
given him confirmed the published
reports OF the note: He said Holland
had told Great Britain virtually the
same thing, but he thought added
weight would be given to the argu.
ment because Of the vigorous posi-,
ton Of the American government.

FEAR AID RAID.
Ease With Which British Reached
Cuxhaven Impresses Danger.

London reports: Fear Of a Zeppe-
lin raid over London, which recently
has more or less subsidized, has been
replaced by the possibility OF raid
by German aeroplanes. The COM
parative ease with which English air
men reached Cuxhaven has driven
home the idea that a retaliatory visi,
would not present any greater diff
Guilty.
All the machinery to meet air in
vaders has been frightened. The Off
cial warning as to the best steps to
circumvent danger, heretofore issued
only in coast towns, is now being cir
culated in London.
The naval writer's speculate on the
most remarkable engagement Of
twentieth century warfare. They COZ
clude that the German ships feared
to give battle to the British cruisers
because Of the uncertainty as to
whether British battleships were
lurking behind them. The fact that
the Zeppelins were driven off is taken
by some as evidence that the Zeppe-
Inns really are untrustworthy craft
Others think it means that the Ger
mans are outstanding all their dirigi-
bles for grand raid on England.
