French Officers Solve
Problem Of Albania

With the Entente Armies in Salo-
niki, May S.-Comparatively few per-
sons know that the process OF re-
making the map of Europe already
has been begun by the entente allies
in the region that has been the obses-
sion and the enigma of the foreign
Offices OF Europe for the last FIVE years
Albania.
On December II last the capital Of
a free and independent Albanian re-
public was set up at Koritza, and this
embryo state--for its territory ex-
tends at present only to the district
of which Koritza is the chief town.
possesses all the machinery of mo-
ern government--a ruling council, an
army 600 strong, postage stamps, pa
per money, national flag, foreign
alliances, even budget that covers
expenditures.
When the French patrols first
reached Foritza and established de-
tachment there to protect the left
bank of the entente Balkan front, they
soon found that the hostility of the
local Albanians was not so much love
of the Austrians as resentment oil
any fresh incursion of foreigners into
their country. By ousting the royal
ist Greeks and allowing the proclama
ton Of the independence of Albania,
with Koritza as capital, the French
converted enemies into allies.

Deaf and Dumb Do
Good Work in Munitions

Paris, May l0.-The intensive pro-
duction of munitions in France, with
its enormous requirements in hand
labor, has opened up new future for
the deaf and dumb, who, before the
war, were excluded from factory
work. Now hundreds of them are
making shells and parts of automo-
biles and areoplancs for the army.
Some of them are earning the equiv
alent of 81 day.
Manufacturers refused deaf and
dumb help previously because of the
laws that made employer responsible
for all accidents TO his employed and
because the accident insurance COM
panies would not insure the deaf and
dumb.
There were always prejudices
against them, arising from the sup
posed difficulty of conveying orders
and explanations.
In practice it has been found that
the deaf and dumb men meet with no
more accidents than their comrades
who can hear and talk. They learn
even quicker by sight than do many
workmen by car and, their attention
never being divided by conversation,
their output is of the best finish and
equal in volume to that of the best
mechanics. They are even more at
tentive to danger than men who have
possession OF all their faculties.

Grille in the House Of
Commons to Be Removed

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
London, May 22-The grille in the
House of Commons which impedes
the view OF occupants of the women's
gallery probably will be removed in
the near future. The question was
considered by members recently, one
describing the grille as discreditabte
and medieval anachronism. Durins
the discussion it was stated that for
many years women were allowed to
go into the house and at times there
was such thongs that they pressed
into the seats occupied by members.
On one occasion they were so inter
ested in the debate that they took
possession of several seats and it re-
auired two hours to remove them.
This resulted in the exclusion of
women for fifty years. The present
grille was erected to prevent repe-
ton of such scenes and to prevent
women from talking to members.

CHINA WILL ERECT
MEMORIAL TO HAY
Oriental Republic Will Do
Signal Honor to American
Who Kept the Door
Open.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
Peking, April 2l.-Sincere apprecia-
ton of the services rendered to China
by the late John Hay, American sec
retary of state, in establishing the
open door" policy and protecting that
country from dismemberment by Eu-
ropean powers was expressed in a
measure which has been introduced
into the Chinese senate to provide for
the erection OF bronze statue of Mr.
Hay.
Recognition also is accorded in the
bill to the great service which Mr.
Hay rendered to China in proposing
the refunding OF the Boxer indemni-
ties.
Among those proposing the me-
mortal was c. T. Wang, vice presi
dent OF the Chinese senate, graduate
of Yale university. Several other
Cinese who were educated in America
seconded the motion that the bill be
adopted. In describing Mr.. Hays
services to China, the proponents of

Hay Takes Initiative.
ut was the late Mr.. John Hay, who,
hearing of the proposal of the Euro
pean powers to develop and mark out
for themselves their respective
spheres of influence in China, made
representations to the governments of
Great Britain, Russia, France, Japan,
Italy, ETC., suggesting that China
should be enabled to adopt an open
door" policy with regard to foreign
powers, as, in his opinion, the devel-
oping Of spheres OF influence was
sure to lead to breach of the peace
in the far east Fortunately, the gov
ernments OF the European powers
supported Mr.. Hays idea, and as
result common understanding was
arrived at between the powers, which
gave rise to state of political
equilibrium known as the balance of
power, and secured peace for the for
east. Therefore, it was a great serv-
ice that Mr.. Hay rendered to China.
Proposes Refund.
again, after the Boxer trouble was
over, when our government was re-
quired to pay enormous indemnities
to the foreign powers, Mr.. Hay pro-
posed to the governments of these
powers that they should refund to
China portion Of the indemnities
after retaining what was deemed
necessary to make good the loss to
public and private property. But the
foreign powers did not give their con-
sent to this proposal, so that the
United. States had to carry out the
idea alone.
"The amount OF money to be thus
refunded by the United States was,
not including interest, $l0,785, 200 gold,
and since 1909 considerable sum has
already been paid back to China. We
are now using this money for edu-
cational purposes, that is, for the
maintenance of the Using Hua col
lege, ETC., In the third year of the re-
public the United States government
further refunded to us a sum of ST.
100000 out OF total of $2,000,000 |
gold which China had paid to the
United States as compensation for
loss to private property, which sum
we are now using for the support of
Chinese students studying in that
country. This was the second great

British Annex New Tribe
In Lower Ti1riS Repion

Correspondence of the Associated Press,)
With the British Army in Mesopo-
tamia, May 2,--One of the great
tribal groups of the lower Tigris has
now come completely under British
control 1t is known as the Albu
Muhammad.
As an independent entity, the Albu
Muhammad are not OF ancient date,
but for the last nine generations they
have had separate existence on the
Tigris between Amarah and Ezra's
tomb, their headquarters being the
little town Of Qual'at Salih.
The Shaikhs showed no pertinaci-
Gus devotion TO the Turks, with whom
they had spent most OF their lives
in active conflict and made submits
sion to the British forces as soon
as they had established themselves at
'Amarah.
For the last eighteen months they
have shown themselves reasonably
loyal, willing enough to meet unusu-
al demand for labor on road and rail-
way, writes the British official eye

MANY OTHER TOWNS
OF 0MAHA'S Size
Dozens of Cities the Same Size
as Omaha of Which You
Probably Have Never
Heard.
BY A. R. GROH.

By "A. X. GKOH.
Omaha is great city and we are
all growing with growing Omaha.
And in this connection it is inter-
esting to philosophize upon the fact
that there are dozens of cities in the
world the same size as Omaha of
which we have never heard.
What? You don't think SO? Well,
just cast your eye, over this list: Ade-
laide, Agra, Ahmadabad, Aleppo, Al
lahabad, Bagdad, Baku, Bangalore,
Belem, Benares, Bolton, Cardiff,
Changsha, Ch'ngkiang, Colombo, CO.
lumbus, Danzig. Delhi, Dortmund,
Duisburg, Elberfeld, Goteborg, Halle,
Hiroshima, lvanove- e-voznesensk, Ka-
zan, Kiel, Lahore, Leicester, Lemberg,
Lille, Mannheim, Malta, Mukden and
Mendoza.
Those take in only half the alpha
bet. They are all cities OF about the
size of Omaha. Do you know where
one-fourth of them are? Have you
heard of half Of them?
Unless you are teacher OF geo.
graphy or compiler Of aliases your
answer is bound to be in the negative.
| must answer that way myself.
Some You Know.
You have heard of some OF them
like Kiel, emberg, Lille and Bagdad
in the war dispatches. You may have
heard OF Benares and you may not.
Yet Bena.es is the holy city of the
Brahmins, a city with 800 mosques
and l,009 cagodas, city with one OF
the Oldest astronomical observatories
in the world, and Sanscrit college.
] remember Agra because it is there
that the Shah Jehan built the most
beautiful nausoleum in the world, the
Tai MahaI, in memory of his favorite
wife. Whit a wonderful women she
must have beenl
And Bagdadl All, romantic Bag
dad where the good caliph, Haroun
AL Raschid made his midnight jour-
neys in search of adventure.
If we wanted to prove the greatness
of Omaha we might compare it with
Bagdad. "Why, look at Bagdad," we
could say. "Bagdad was founded in
763 and Omaha wasn't founded until
1,l00 years later. Yet today Omaha s
population is equal to that of Bag
dad"
But of most of those cities named
we have never heard. Their life goes
on as ours does upon this same earth
but we never know of their existence.
Grow With Growing Paris.
A philosopher said to me the other
day, Il wonder if they talk about
boosting for London or growing
with growing Paris like we do here
in Omaha.
No, that is a distinctive feature of
life in a new city and a new country.
Imagine the Commercial club of Ben
ares getting together and passing
resolution to adopt a slogan for the
city, Boost for Bully Benares,"
Or how would you like to Grow
with Growing vanove-voznesensk?"
With l,700,000,0O0 people in the
world it is not possible for us to know
much OF each other. Even 100000
OF us don't amount to so much. But,
of course, we're the best 100000 on
earth. No doubt about that.
And il the inhabitants of Aleppo
and Baku and Kazan and Belem
haven't heard of us, that is their loss.
