Wied, the former Prince of Albania.
has by no means given up hopes of
rcgaining the realm which he ruled
over for SO short and troubled a pc
riod Immediately prior TO the great
European cOnfiagration. His latest
step has been to send a memorial to
the German federal princes, wherein
he deals at length with the develop
ment of Albanian affairs and protests
against the protectorate of Albania
proclaimed by Italy. He argues that
an independent Albania offers the Sc
securest basis for a lasting peace in
the Balkans, and that it is therefore
in the interests Of Germany and Aus
ira. Further. Prince William asserts
his own rights to the throne of AL
bania.
