tends to place, aliens on an equal
basis with American citizens in time
of war, pointing out the fact that
while loyal sons of America are go
ing forth to fight for democracy,
foreign born citizens, who have neg

are plucking the choice Industrial

teotion of the American flag.

Southern Slavs Want It

ed New Nation

Corfu. Island of Corfu, Aug. A.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press.l-Just across this narrow
strait lies Albania, that no-man's land
over which Italy has just proclaimed
a protectorate. One can see plainly
from here the barren gray mountains
Of Albania. making ragged line
along the sky; They lie very near;
an optical illusion makes them seem
nearer Many A1banians are Seen on
the, streets here, the men big-bodied
and rather fierce looking, wearing
their picturesque native costume.
With Albania. SO near at hand, this is
a good place to look into the Albanian
question at close range.
Italy's proclamation of a protector
ate over Albania has thrown one more
problem into the European patchwork
which will have to be settled at the
peace conference. Just now the ques-
tion fs boiling here, and at Paris,
Rome and Athens. There are three
distinct currents-the Italian, which
supports the protectorate as a meas
ure Of self-defense for Italy's exposed
front on the Adriatic; the Greek,
which looks upon Albania as northern
Greece and calls 1t Epirus; and the
southern slavs, that powerful ana
vaks and all other Slavs Of the west
ern Balkans, These latter, the Slavs,
look upon Itaiy's protectorate as a
move to encircle the Adriatic ano
close out the Balkan people from ever
getting to the sea.
Albania Not Considered.
What Albania herself thinks of 1t
no one seems to have considered. This
seems rather singular at time when
the great powers are talking so much
about the principle of nationality and
the right of all people to determine
their own political destinies. The ALI
banians are never heard from on this
question as to who shall rule them,
and apparently they care nothing
about how it is settled. These Alba
nian men and women who come here
are looked upon as docile peasants,
incapable of having any political as
pirations or of the desire to form a
nation.
Albania appears to be the one coun-
try abandoned by nature, as so poor
are resources as not to be worth de-
velopment or progress. 1t has lain
here for centuries, alongside the
great centers of ancient culture, mid
way between Rome and Athens, and
yet IL Is as backward today as II was
centuries ago, and the people are as
primitive and uncivilized as some of
the wild tribes of central Africa. In
northern Albania the people are say
age mountaIheers. There is nothing
like organized industry or agriculture

anywhere; no gathering in towns and
cities and the development of society.
No Bank in Albania.
There Is no such thing as bank IN
all Albania There is no railway.
Roads are the foot-paths of ages. or
the old military highways of the Ro-
mans. Although Albania has an Adri-
attic front rivalling Italy's, yet she
hasn't port or harbor from end to
end. And yet the Albanians are a
distinct race, with their own Ian
Euage, but without the ability
through all the ages to lift them
selves into an organized state.
1t is this indifference of Albania it,
self, that has brought the rival in
terests clashing from three sides.
Coming through Rome, the italian
position was explained to the writer
as follows: Italy has a geographical
relation to Albania much like the
United States has to Cuba, Porto Rico
or the Panama canal. That Is, 1t is
the great power nearest to Albania,
and naturally having the most intl-
mate concern in its future. Moreover,
Italy has an exposed coastline on the

Canadian Farmers Getting
Rich-Expect Price
Under 1920

Winnipeg. Sept. 5.-The 1917
wheat crop will bring approximately
500, 900, 900 into the hands Of west
ern Canadian farmers. The yield
will run close to 300 900, 900 bushels,
according to estimates compiled to-
day. No price has been fixed for the
crop by the government authorities,
but a definite announcement is ex-
pected daily and it is believed that
II will not be far below $2.20 a BUSH
ell. The fixed price will be for No.
northern with lower grades at stip-
ulated discounts. Practically all
western wheat will grade No. 3
northern or better, which means
that the bulk Of the crop will be
sold within a narrow margin of the
maximum. The returns to Canadian
farmers will be by far the greatest
