Against this loan or credit there will
be used collateral composed Of AmeSi-

used as collateral for such financing.
International bankers here were not
willing to discuss the probable details
or the 50OO00.OD or more financing,
which will be the largest operation ever
undertaken In history, for the reason
that although they have learned by

ALBANIA

While the benevolent impulses of
the, neutral world, and especially
America. are directed to the relief
of Belgium, that gritty little coun-
try in the front yard of Europe, an
other tragedy of a people is being
enacted in the back yard of Europe.
The Albanians-survivors of the
Thraco-1llyrian stock which inhab-
tied the Balkan peninsula before
Homer nodded and whose racial hero
is Alexander of Macedon-are being
exterminated by the march of raid
ing armies of Greeks and Serbians.
Authentic information which has
reached America of conditions In
Albania indicate the commission OF
a great crime-a crime which even
vhe calloused conscience of Europe
would not have tolerated in normal
times. Caught between the upper
and the neither millstones of Greco
Serbian rapacity and territorial
greed, the Albanians are suffering
all that Belgium suffered without
attracting that sympathy which has
found expression in the vast and
successful undertaking for the re.
lief of the Belgians.
The Albanians are worth saving
They are brave people-as brave
as any in the Balkans. As soldiers
as administrators, as merchants, AZ
workers, they stand out boldly or
the few bright pages of Ottoman
history. 1t is thousand times a
pity that, despite Sir Edward Grey,

GUARDING THE TREES

The ghost Of one enemy to the
Adirondacks forest is no sooner laid
than another stalks forth. An
amendment to the proposed New
York constitution to hand private
interests the right to denude great
tracts, under the claim that the de-
mands of scientific forestry were to
be met, has been relegated to the
limbo of dead issues. Now q scheme
to build new automobile roads
through the North woods affords a
pretext for cutting a broad strip Of
virgin forest and greatly increasing
the value Of nearby land which it is
hoped the State will eventually buy.
The most important Of these roads
is from Old Forge to Raquette Lake
and Saranac Lake. Such q highway,
however, can be built more directly
where the timber has already been
cut. There is at present an automo-
bile road from Old Forge to Eagle
Bay. A railroad runs from Eagle
Bay to Raquette Lake. There is
room enough along the side Of this
railroad, which is on State land, for
an automobile route.
When We realize that the mean
flow of the Hudson has diminished
four feet since timber cutting in the
Adirondacks began we see the need
of preventing wanton sacrifice of
trees.

Col w. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill. has
been the owner of numerous ranches
in the west for many years. Mr..
Goodman's father was the superinten-
dent of this string of ranches and it
was on one of these vast cattle farms
in Nebraska that he was born. He
was raised among cowboys and when
only a boy was quite proficient on the
saddle and with the lariet.
Then as Buffalo BilIs nephew grew

country and Europe. For twelve
years he rode 'fbucking bronchos'' and
last year he was with the wild west
outfit in the Barnum and Bailey cir
Gus which played Topeka.

Dukes and lords and their ladies by
the scores witnessed each perform
ance of Buffalo Bill in Europe and
there was a mingling of royal blood
at several. For instance, a special
performance was given to the king
and queen of Italy and their children.
Queen Alexandria of England was
present once. In a city in the south
of France Goodman showed the shah
of Persia a thing or two about horse
back riding. The thigh mogul" of
Persia was then on a tour of the con-

cattlemen were in the party, among
