Out of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus, where Greek culture
holds the towns, and even the Moslem
Albanians of the hills write (when
they can write at ALL in Greek letters,
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life of this exclusive race.
Individual Albanians have, indeed,
given their talents to bring unity or
order to the life of other peoples. Half
the captains by land and sea of the
Greek wars of independence were Al
banians from Epirus or the isles.
Crispi came from the Albanian col
ony in Sicily; the khedivial family
imposed itself on Egypt; the last
grand vizier of the old regime in Tur-
key was a South Albanian magnate-
But no native church, no native litera-
ture, no local field for craftsmanship
has vet exercised the talents OF
race which is certainly not the least
gifted of the Balkan peoples. Until
recently an Albanian educated was an
Albanian lost.

.LySITANIA CASE
FINALLY SETTLED
President Accepts Note Without
Word ILLEGAL"
MEETS DEMANDS OF THE U. S.
Wilson to Demand Allies Disarm Mer-
chant Ships and Permit Food
stuffs to Enter Germany for
Civilian Population.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The contro-
yersy between the United States and
Germany over the destruction of the
British liner Lusitania with the loss
of lib American lives is settled.
Thus is passing into history an in
cident which at the time of its occur
renee threatened to embroil the United
States in the great world war and
which since has brought the country
on several occasions perilously close
to hostilities.
President Wilson and his cabinet re-
gaTded the settlement effected as fully
meeting the original demands of the
United States. These demands were
set forth in a note dated May Is last,
Immediately after the Lusitania was
sent to the bottom of the sea. They
we're:
/. Disavowal of the act of the sub
marine commander.
2 Reparation in the form of an in
demnity
g. Immediate steps to prevent the
recurrence of such incidents.
Germany promptly expressed regret
that Americans were drowned and
agreed to pay an indemnity. In Sep
TENDER she announced liners would
not thereafter be sunk in the zone
about the British Isles unless they re-
sisted or attempted to escape, and in
January she applied this same prin-
Ciple to all merchantmen plying in the
Mediterranean.
Now she has been brought to the
point not of making a formal dis
avOwal or of using the word Illegal
in describing the act of the subma-
rine officer, but of admitting her liabil-
ity for the loss of neutral life because
of the policy of retaliation which she
pursued.
This admission is satisfactory to the
president because he regards 1t as
recognition by Germany that opera
tons against vessels carrying neutrals
is unjustiied and wrong. What the
administration desired above every
thing else, besides a stoppage of the
attacks on passenger ships, was to Sc
cure an expression from Germany
which would lift the controversy above
the sordid plane of money reparation
Germany will hold that she makes
no such admission, and as matter
Of fact, the language of the note will
be such that it can be interpreted to
the American public in one way ana
to the German public in another. Here
in effect is what the kaiser's govern
ment is ready to say and what the
United States has accepted in lieu of
disavowal:
The destruction of the Lusitanfa
was a retaliatory act and Germany is
prepared to pay an indemnity for the
American lives lost"
The decision to accept the German
declaration was made at conference
on Tuesday between the president and
Secretary Lansing. Later the cabinet
ratified the decision
Germany will make it clear to the
United States that the Lusitania ques-
ton having been disposed of, she will
now expect this government to COM
pei the allies to disarm merchantmen
or to withdraw it's protection from any
American citizens who may travel on
belligerent merchant ships.

SYSTEMATICALLY
DONE IN VALLEY
CONTINUED from Pege ~


ords. The tester must also be fitted !
temperamentally in order to find a
place of high esteem in the view of !
the men for who2r he is working. !
Along with this, ue must be able to |
help the farmer with his different
problems. He in turn, however, must
not be treated as common wander
ing laborer, but must be shown due
consideration by the dairymen. 1t is
necessary for him to put in from ID
to 20 hours a day, and fit in with
all kinds of people and customs, and
also to give forth the best help he
has available. So his is no easy task,
but it is good promising step for
a large group of young men who have
ii thorough training in agriculture.
Then come the owners. They are
as variable as it is possible for hu-
mans to be. All types and manners
are represented. 1t is on their ability
to watch, learn and use the records
that the success of the association
depends. When the tests show up the
poorest cow, will they get rid Of her,
or will they keep her? 1t is indeed
a sad state of affairs when dairy
man will remain Indifferent to the
records of his cows. No man with any
business ability at all will remain in
different. Let us hope that Imperial
Valley will not find any of this sort
III her association. The very first
man to have his cows tested used his
record within two days, but being
shown the advisability of getting feed
at any cost. With such an instance
as a starter, it looks bright for the
future.
Some "don'ts" that might be appro-
pirate follow:
Don't discard too soon, but make
due allowance for all irregularities.
Don't expect all cows to give two
pounds of butterfat day immedi-
ately.
Don't remain Indifferent to the
testing. You are paying for it and
if you use it it will work wonders
for you.
Don't expect to build up your herd
in six months. 1t is a process that
takes years, but testing cuts that
time down to one-third and does a
sure job.
Don't treat the tester as hobo.
These young men are from some OF
the best families and have more than
an average education. Give them a
boost on the right road.
With all working together, using
treir records, heading their herds with
better sires, and getting rid of the
"hoarders," we will soon place the
dairy cow of Imperial Valley on a
pinnacle above the average, where it
lelongs.
