However. all are iubilant over the
prospect OF getting away from Wash-

continuously since April. 1913. 1t

SLAVS AND ITALIANS
IN CLASH IN ALBANIA
Trouble With Montenegro and
Serbia Presages Trouble
After War Is Over.
By ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, July "A clash Of an
tagonistic interests between the Slavs
and Italians has occurred in Albania
containing possibilities of disturbance
to the peace conference after the war.
Albania's geographical position across
the Adriatic sea, opposite the southern
extremity of Italy, has caused the
Roman government to insist that 1tal-
ian interests in Albania are paramount
Otherwise, the Adriatic cannot become
an Italian lake.
Until Italy became a belligerent neith-
er Serbia nor Montenegro showed any
interest in the Albanian situation. The
natural military offensive of the two
Balkan Kingdoms Is rather in the OPP
Herzegovina. The only Ineligible rea-
son, in fact, why the Savs should
strike at Albania Is because it Is becom-
ing necessary for them to possess "a
defensive weapon which may compel
Italy to moderate her anti-SlavoniC
policy. A large part of the territory
which Italy hopes to annex as her part
of the war loot is inhabited almost
entirely by Slavs. Slavs are dominant
in the environs OF Trieste, through most
land and islands. II italy has her way,
half n million Slavs will pass from
Austro- n ungarian to Italian sovereign
ty at the end of the war.
The serious military situation In
Galicia doubtless compelled Russia &c
refrain from pressing her objections
to Italy's expansionist policy wher
the Rome government was seeking Its
price for intervention. But the stip.
ulations in the bond do not seem &c
have been signed by Serbia and Mon
tenegro. 1t is probable Italy did not
believe those countries worth consid-
ering in her bargaining with the
allies. II this turns out to be the
truth, the subtle policy of italian dip
lomacy is in danger of being effec-
lively countered by the Slavs.
The occupation of Albania by Slav
troops will be of immense service to
Pan -SlavoniC interests when the day
of peace comes. Not only must the
allies make peace with the Turks and
Teutons, but also they must come to
among themselves. From
this standpoint. the Serbian and Mon
expeditions now overrunning
Albania are really directed against
Italy and not against the enemies OF
the allied powers. Because OF the
Slav counter stroke. Italy probably
will be unable to annex the Slavonic
territory of Austro-Hungary and at
the same time este blish her claims to
Albania. One of the two ambitions
must be abandoned. Like all the other
b belligerent powers, Italy seems des-
tined to find unrealiZed at the end of
the war some of the purposes she pro-
claimed when she entered the CON

to escape the German undersea boat
Captain Trickeys own story emphasiz-
ing this fact has been forwarded to the

Note To England.
AS soon as the German note is dis
posed OF, the new British note will be
prepared. 1t will according to present
indications, demand the withdrawal OF
that part Of the order-in-council that
interferes with free trade between this
country and neutral nations. and will
also again demand that the British
government put an immediate stop to
the flying of the American flag by
British vessels. In this connection half
a-dozen specific instances of alleged
violation of this country's right by
British vessels will be cited.
Ambassador Gerard has sent from
Berlin reports of several instances and
evidence has also been sent by consul
lar officers in Great Britain. The
United States Will not act until all the
facts are known. Some of the affidavits
in the possession of the State Depart
ment indicate that British admiralty
agents have instructed shipping mas
ters to use the American flag in GER
tain cases, although on February 10. in
reply to the American note of February
s, the British government denied that
use Of neutral flags had been advised
as general practice.
German submarines and mines ac-
counted for a total of l03 steamers
and sailing vessels during the month
Of June, according to. an announce
mennt by the board of trade today.
AS a result, Ill lives were lost. Six
ty-eight steamers. with a total ton
mage of $4,000. were sent to the bot
tom and 35 sailing ships.
