II the United States acts as big
brother to Albania, as natives of that
country have requested, she'll have n
bigger problem in some ways than
dealing with Armenians il she be-
comes mandatory for Armenia.
The Albanian people want inde-
pendence for a period of n year. It's
up to the peace congress.
The Albanians are less ready for
self government and more ready for
fight than the Armenians any day in
the week.
They're proud of their ancestors,
disdainful of foreigners and passion
ately fond Of independence-so font
of 1t that 1t is difficult for them to sub
NIT to organized government Tribal
chiefs have been sufficient to hold
them together in mountain bands
which have fought through centuries
with Turks and Serbs and other ma
tons which pressed upon them.
They are intensely honest and hon.
orable. generous and hospitable to
friends. Woman is always safe among
them and their word is never broken.
Like the Armenians. they are an
ancient race. They are aid to be tho
most ancient in south eastern Eu-
rope.

in their home land whioh has
an area of 1900 square miles.

Sentiment As
To Memorial
FoR WATER o p

FOR WATER FRONT PARK.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The discussion now being carried
on in your valuable paper by u cit
liens as to what shape a memorial
should take in honor OF the boys who
went from Perth Amboy-severai
good plans have been offered. The
plan OF a water front park recently
on exhibition in Reynolds Bros. win
dow strikes the public favor and tho
city owning the property Is a good
beginning. An improvement OF this
kind is so much needed by u people.
as we have no place to go at present
In summer time for rest and recrea-
ton. and no more appropriate thing
can be had than to establish IL on our
beautiful water front. The suggestion
of a boulevard protected by a bulk
head, running eastward from the c.
II. Il. to High street is quite a FEAST
BILE one with a monument erected at
some convenient place on the park
fronts quite easy of construction
and when you take into consideration
the amount of land the city will re-
claim by the filling-in process will
greatly Offset the expense to be IN
Cured as to the matter or grass,
trees. shrubs. etc, that n easily DC
taken a of by u efficient park
commission.
mother feature - the tdCs
that the beach on this water front is
practically level out to the channel.
No currents or undertows which min
imize the risk of accident by drown
ing, and with the sewer outlets car
ried out under low water mark Will
make the ideal beach for bathing pur-
poses. In my opinion II would be a
g~rievous mistake to use this water
front for an ocean steamship terminal
not room enough for such an under
taking, too far from the channel and
too near the residential section OF our
city, as already suggested in a letter
in your valuable paper. Front street,
Inorthward from Gordon street is the
place for ocean steamship piers. this
front being on or close to deep water
Whatever is decided upon, let 1t be
something that will be OF the greatest
benefit to the people and that is GER
tainly a water front park.
Yours truly,
