LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Albania and the War.

Mir. Editor: The Albanian organiza- tion, the Fatra, has, in a recent ar ticle. published in your excellent pub iication invited rebuttal On my part
 Were it not for the fact that the difference between the Fatfa and my self involves issues of vital import anie for America, I should not be so impertinent as to ask you to annoy your intelligent readers with the Al bano-Grecian petty difficulties.
 The Vatra has lodged the main is sue. It has not answered why the Aibanians in America seek exemption from the Spanish consuiates. implor- ing thereby the protection of Turkey against the United States.
 The Vatra claims that it is under an obligation to Great Britain to send Albanians there. That is altogether untrue.
 The Vatra has been ordered officiaI- lv to produce evidence of such an ob- lgation, and. has been forced to ack : noWledge that no such obligation was ever incurred, and that never had Great Britain officially asked, or agreed to have Albanians sent to Flu rope.
 , We have proofs that the vatra. and practically all the Albanians believe l that Austria is the only friend of Al bania. It is most ungracioIis of the Fatra to simulate hatred of Austria and to accuse Austria of designs tc give part of Albania to Greece. | Only three months ago my friend who is now serving at the camp. had an interview with Reverend F'ean Noli the president of the Vatra. who ex-
 pressed himself bitterly against Italy | France and England because these | powers had refused to order Greece tc
 evacuate Northern Epirus, while Aus ! tria mobilized her army and forced
 Serbia to withdraw from Durazzo
 Rev Fan Noli with the Vatra ac-
 cuses the Greeks of being against the war. We are very glad the Vatra and
 Fan Noi give us an opportunity tc
 put the question before the people oi
 the United States, the officials of the
 United States and to answer the ma

MISS BELINDA'S HOUSEKEEPING

take Bella to the city with me and let her go to high school. You know it's too far for her to walk to the village every morning in winter, and now that she has graduated from the district school it's too bad.f her to settle down to being little house. hold drudge on the farm. She ought to have her chance and want to give it to her I'll do without a maid and she can help me a little with the work And just think of all the in- teresting things we can do for her! Won't it be fun, Ben, to take her to the theatre and show her all the big shops and the Art institute and every thing?"
 My dear, you positively thrill me with anticipation"
 You needn't be superior You know you'll enjoy it as much as I shall. You have always been fond of little Bella, ever since she used to call you 'Misthu Bean Who's that on the porcf?"
 Ben threw open the door and a huge collie dog leaped into the living room and threw himself affectionately at Ben.
 Why, hullo, old fellow, have you come over to Hilltop to see us?"
 He's your dog now" said the young lad, who stood in the shadow of the door. Don't you remember you said once you'd buy him if the goodriches kept on treating him so cruel? I was going by there tonight and they were wipping him awful, and l told em you wanted him and they said you could have for S1O, so I just brought him along over for you"
 "Oh, you did. Well, let's see; how would you like to have him yourself, Tom? I'll give him to you"
 "Wisht I could have him. but I'm going to stay this winter with grand ma, and she won't never have no dog around"
 T guess it's a good thing we have an apartment where dogs and cats are not barred" remarked Miss Belinda And children, too" added Ben.
 Why, Bella is nearly IA" Anyway. it looks as if we shall have to keep house, sis" Ben was slowly smoothing out two s bills Really Belinda, this fine blooded fellow is cheap at the price. Of course. Ben, I understand that but my splendid pure bred tortoise shell cat didn't cost me a cent You always were keen on bar gains" replied Ben with grim Exchange.

Ben" said Miss Belinda, who was sitting with her brother before blazing cedar fire in Hilltop, i've been thinking great deal about your desire to board this winter instead of keeping house. 1 know you will think it would be wise plan, and I appreciate all you have said about wishing to give me more freedom for Red Cross and other work. But don't you think you would get very tired of hotel life?"
 "Oh, don't know about that, and, anyway, sis. I'm not the one to be considered. I'd like to see you have a vacation. You've done wonders this past summer, my dear setting the bulliest Hooverized table possible, but now you ought to have a little rest from domestic care and entertaining. think we had better let the people in our apartment keep it this winter if they wish"
 Ben. you're a dear, but you know I've been kind of hoping today that you would decide to ask them to give it up, for I'm afraid can't board very we'll I really don't need a rest from housekeeping at all and besides I-I-"
 Well what's the row. Belinda? :? May I inquire what you've got your self in for now? Whats the obstacle to boarding?"
 "A tortoise shell cat"
 "A cat! Great Caesars ghost. Be- linda; you don't mean to say that you, who have always led an irreproachab1e life, have suddenly taken to cats? Why on earth do we have to keep house for the benefit of some pamper- ed feline beast? For the love of Mike, sis, whose cat is it, and why is it wished on us?"
 You know old Mrs. Granby is going west to live with her daughter and she has begged me to take care of Nero. Poor old dear. she is nesv- ous and trembly about going west anyway, and she says it would be more than she could endure if she didn't know Nero had a good home. You see, I just couldn't refuse her.
 ''Of course you couldn't" agreed Ben emphasizing the word you strongly. Sometimes, Belinda, I am forced to think you lack strength of character. That's the politest way of putting it.
 Miss Belinda laughed. She looked at her brother quizzically. There's another obstacle to hotel life, Ben
 What, another cat!"
 "No, a little girl. I should like to

REMOVING RESTRICTIONS.

That there is no disposition to keep in force restrictions which have been forced upon the country by the war Is indicated by the action which has been taken in removing the handicaps which have been placed upon con- struction work throughout the coun- Try. The country has been standing still in this respect for many months. All that was permitted was the activ- lty surrounding war work and the necessary repairs which had to be made. New non-war construction was shelved for the time being but right in accord with the needs of the country, is the action which has now been taken without delay in letting hown the bars. It will mean the en- tering upon a policy of expansion in many directions. plans for which had been made before Or during the war and the releasing of funds which are waiting to be used for these very pur- poses.

SOUTHERN ILLITERAcY.

What appears to be a new rec ognition of the need Of seriously talk ing up the work of overcoming illit- eracy in the south. or at least in part of South Carolina, is the action Of the Charleston County Teachers association which is preparing ,u wage a determined fight for the improve ment of conditions within that coun- ty.
 There is no part of the country where greater efforts are needed in behalf of better education. Because the south has been disposed to encour- age child labor and therefore has been iax in it's requirements concerning schooling there can be little surprise even among the people of that region that there is so much illiteracy. It is the natural consequence of the atti- tude which has been taken.
 Attention has doubtless been direct ed to this matter of illiteracy by the efforts which have been made in one way or another to overcome it. but more particularly have the people Of that section been brought face to face WltH lue IHeHdCe DE lIle lIW Wllcn re- quires voters to register for primary elections since such registration has disclosed that there are hundreds of white men in some counties who have 10 make their mark while the fact that thousands of young men who have been drafted for war service without any equipment in the way of an edu- cation was another eyeopener. It certainly is time for just such a movement as the teachers association has started but it should be more than started. it should be maintained until the object is attained and by no means be confined to ore county There is need for the undertaking ot such work throughout the entire south.

THE cANToNMENT TROOPS.

There are going 10 be q great many tn the training camps of this country giO are going to be keenly disap- pointed over the fact that they will 5ot have a chance to go across and take part in some at least of the ex- reriences which have fallen to the lot "f tho two million or more who have for a considerable period been in Eu- ropesu countries. To a great many others the probability that they will not be sent over. even though there is no prospect now that they would be called upon for other than police duty, will be most welcome news This will not be because they were not ready 10 do their duty but because heir inclinations do not run to such service except that it is necessary. and IS long as there are enough others to 10 it they will be glad to be relieved.
 lt has not been announced as vet just what course is to be pursued re- eardins the sending of more troops across. Surely it cannot be expected hat many. if any more, will be em- tarked, for it must be realized that ihere Is sufficient need for all the shipping that we can command with cut using it for transports. and there is as good reason for the curtailment of expense in connection with the maintenance of the large army as in other directions. At the same time it must be realized that the business of he country is in need Of many of these young men in the training camps if there is no further need for them in the service of their country. while it can be appreciated that there ought to be no thought Of replacing our experienced troops abroad until the peace terms have been signed. The curtailment therefore should be made in connection with those which are in this country. The resembling of the draft calls. will of course be of some help in this direction.

will mean a great rush to build for while that disposition will undoubted- ly be manifested it is perfectly evil dent that this will have to be govern ed to large extent by the ability to get material. the business of trans porting and furnishing which has been equally restricted by the war.
 Such work therefore must grow gradually, otherwise it will have a se- rious effect upon prices and thus pre- vent, through the cost. that which has been relieved of government re- strictions. This work will grow in keeping with the readjustment which must take place but the action taken in lifting the ban must be regarded as the right course to pursue at the right time. Having served their purpose the restrictions should of course be dispensed with.

THE HELPLESS COAL CONSUMER

Regardless of the fact that the fuel administration of this country has been supposed to straighten out the there was thorough distribution of the supply. the consumer has found upon many occasions that he was never confronted with such confusion. Repeatedly have conflicting orders been issued to such an extent. that the fuel administration has urged the people to do one thing and subordi- mates another. The people have been anxious to comply but have found t impossible to do contradictory things at the same time. They have been ibid one thing and the dealers an- other.
 This is perhaps no better illustrated than by the situation in Philadelphia right now, where a householder who put in his order for coal early. and not having received it, finds that he can get his coal now from another dealer at a saving of so cents a ton. He is anxious to get his coal and get it at the cheaper price, but his order is in with the higher priced dealer and he cannot get it changed. He appealed to his fuel administrator and was told that what he is charged is his own lookout and that he must settle that for himself.
 That is just what the man would like to do but he cannot because he cannot get his coal card transferred. The idea that a man must be held up for a higher price. and a price which nas probably been raised since he placed his order, just because he put in his order in compliance with the administra tion's request is hardly treating the consumer justly. Forcing consumer to buy from the high priced dealer is not what the fuel ad- ministration was intended to do.

APPEAL TO WORKERS.

Gt is not surprising that appeals are being made to the wage earners of The country to stick by their jobs Such Is being done of course in order to prevent Reorganization and Is di- 'ected at this time particularly to the employees Of industries which are en- raeed on war orders.
 The readjustment process is on its way now that the armistice has been signed and in some instances opera tions have ceased, but in others con tracts which are underway will be completed and it is for the interest of The men as well as business that the problem should not be made any greater than it is. It is a time when :hc best cooperation should ba given is it will he through such that the most satisfactory results will be ob- iained
 Industry has been operating on a war basis for some time now. It worked up to it gradually and it's de- rartrre therefrom should be as or yn immense amount of confusion and needless likeness.
 That the government will give it's nest attention to this matter or re- adjustment is 10 he expected. The war labor board can be relied upon to put forth it's best efforts in this direc- ton. Whatever are considered to be the needs of the nation in connection with these war industries should be responded to in a sane and sensible manner and it will be if there is no effort made to stampede things and thereby increase the difficulties sur rounding the situation. This country lss 9 period of great industrial ac- iivity 10 look forward to for many years 10 come and neither labor nor business need suffer from the chang ng conditions if good judgment is used
