@SSAD PASHA, the stormy petrol
- of Albania, has again come to
the fore with the extension of
the war along the Adriatic. Aus
TRAN troops from Montenegro and Bull
garian troops from Servia have been
invading Albania from the north and
east. Essad, the nominal ruler, holds
Durazzo, the capital, port on the Adri-
attic, with a more or less disciplined
force Of 10000 armed and unruly Mos
lem Albanians, while the Italians are
at Valona, a port farther south, with
forces Of unknown strength.
In the first Balkan war of 1912 Essad
Pasha achieved fame as the defender
for Turkey of the Albanian city Of Sou
tart, which eventually surrendered to
Montenegro after siege of six months,
in order that he might be free to use
the troops, the guns and the supplies
Of the beleaguered stronghold to enable
him to proclaim himself ruler of Alba
mia.
He was persuaded to withdraw his
pretensions in favor Of william of
Wfed, the nominee OF the great powers.
whose minister Of war he became when
Wied accepted the throne in February,
1914. He rebelled against the king In
the following May and was sent into
exile. King william soon followed him,
compelled to fly by the rebellious at
titude Of his turbulent subjects.
Essad returned to Albania after the
kings fight and assumed the duties
and title Of provisional president of
the republic of Albania. Soon after
ward the war broke out, and he was
left unmolested until the present inva-
sion by the Teutonic allies, whose ad-
vance he will resist as an ally Of the
entente powers.

scended from a natural son Of that
French royal Duke of AnjOu who took
part In the crusades and so many of
whose attendant mobiles and knights
settled down in northern Greece and
Albania, founding Balkan branches of
their families.
In the time of Scanderbeg, the ma
tonal hero of Albania, the head OF the
house of Toptan was Duke of Duraz-
20 and married Scanderbeg's sister.
He was killed along with Scanderbeg
at the battle of Alessio. But his only
son, although carried off into captiv-
ity, grew up to achieve fame as Ali
Bey. Essad Pasha is very proud of his
descent and keeps among his most
precious treasures an Illuminated gen.
ealogical table Of his ancestry.
Essad was at one time commandant
of the gendarmerie at Constantinople.
His brother, CAM Bey Toptan, an AL
bantam Nationalist, had been put to
death by order Of Sultan Abdul Hamid
In the closing months Of his reign, and
when the Turkish parliament, on the
occupation of Constantinople by Nah
mould Shefket's troops, proclaimed Alb
dull Hands deposition Essad was
granted at his request the privilege Of
heading the deputation dispatched to
the Yildiz kiosk to announce to Alb
dull Hamid his fate.
On April q, 1909, Essad, accompa-
MED by three other officers, presented
himself before the sultan and pro-
nounced the fateful words, in accord
ance with the fetvah Of the sheik ul
Islam, "The representatives of the ma
ton have decreed your deposition"
Thereupon the ex-sultan was placed
under arrest by Essad, this lineal de-
scendant of the crusader royal Duke
Of Anjou and Of the old time kings of
France. EsSad has declared that this
day Of sweet revenge was the happiest
day Of bis life.
Albania, now a bone Of contention
among European powers, lies on the
west Of the Balkan peninsula of south
eastern Europe. the western boundary
being the strait of Otranto. Long a

of Albania was declared at the con-
ference of London. May 80, 1913, at

Albania's political neighbors are Mon
