Congressman Have
Narrow Escape From
Death On Battlefront

Prince Of Albania, has by no means
given up hopes of regaining the realm
which he ruled over for so short and
troubled a period Immediately prior
to the great European confagation.
His aatest step has been to send .
memorial to the German federal
princes, wherein the deals at length
with the development Of Albanian at
fairs and protests against the protec-
torate of Albania proclaimed by Italy.
He argues that an independent Alban-
Ia offers the securest basis for a last
ing peace in the Balkans, and that 1t
is therefore in the interests of Ger
many and Austria. Further, Prince
William asserts his own rights to the
throne of Albania.
