Operates With Razor

Macedonia, where typhus. smallpox and cholera tread on each others heels, and where the refugees bury their dead beneath the dirt floors of their shell-shattered shacks so that the bread cards of the dead member of their family shall not be taken up.
 A Greek soldier, one of whose legs had been crushed, was brought to the box ear on a railroad siding in which Miss kouroyen was living. Something had to be done for him at once. Bor- rowing a razor, Miss Kouroyen an- esthetized her patient with her small supply of ether, and performed an am- putation, using cotton thread to "tie off" the arteries and veins.
 Despite the prophecy of a local doc. tor that the aged patient would not live through the night Miss Kouroyen some time later received a visit from her patient He had an American artificial limb made for him in the American Red Cross artificial leg fac tory for Greek war mutiles in Athena

New York Brig Gen George F. Scriven. formerly chief of the signal corps of the United States army, who was for several months attached as American military observer to the Italian forces in the field, and who recently returned from Rome, speaks enthusiastically of what he saw in Nalona. or Avlona. as il is sometimes called, the chief port of Albania, which the secret treaty of London, in April, 1915, allotted to Italy. Valona. he said, is regarded by the Italians us one of the keys to the Adriatic, and their oc- equation since December. 1914, when troops were landed because of internal disorder, has transformed it from q squalid fishing village to Il seaport that is on it's way to attain an importance it mas not enjoyed since the days of the Roman Empire. Docks have been built, buildings have been erected, and military roads, unsurpassed anywhere have been constructed from Valona throughout Albania by Italian engi- neerS, he said.
 The general described how the Prince of Wied. placed on the Albanian throne by the powers, was overthrown, and republic set up with Essad Pasha as president. He. too, was forced out, and the little country was left prey to Austrian intrigue from

Based on Lambert ConformaI Projection as Used in
 the War.
SHOWS ERRORS IN SCALE
Coast and Geodetic Survey Announces Completion of Chart Solving Old Problem - Special Inter.
 est in Map.

Washington. - The United States coast and geOdetic survey recently an nounced the completion of new out line map of the United States on the Lambert conformal comic projection, scale 1-5,000.000
 This map is intended merely as a base to which may be added any kind of special information desired. The shore line is compiled from the most recent coast and geodetic survey charts. State names and boundaries principal rivers, capitals. and the larger cities in the differnt states are also embodied.
 The map is of special interest from the fact that it Is based on the same system of projection as that employed by the armies of the allied forces in the military operations in France. To meet those requirements and at the request of the army, special publica- detic survey
 Many methods of projection have been designed to solve the difficult problem of representing q spherical surface on a plane. As different pro- jections have unquestonable merit as well as equally serious defects, the announcement states, any region to he mapped should be made the subject of special study and that system of pro- iection adopted which will give the best results for the area under consid- eration.
 Value of New Map.
 The Mercator projection, almost uni verSally used for nautical charts, is re- sponsible for many false impressions of the relative size of the countries diff fering in latitude, according to the sur vey statement. The polyeonic pro jection, widely used and we'll adapt ed for both topographic and hydro graphic surveys, when used for the whole of the United States in one map has the serious defect of unduly eXag- gerating the areas on its eastern and western limits. Along the Pacific is as much as 612 per cent, while at New York it reaches IA per cent
 The value of the new outline map on the Lambert projection can best he realized when it is stated that it shows that throughout the largest and most important part of the United States, that is, between attitudes 3012 degrees and AZ degrees, the maximum scale error is only one-half of l per cent. This amount of scale error of one-half of l per cent is frequently less than

the distortion due to the method of printing and to changes from the hu- midity of the air. Only in southern most Florida and Texas does this pro- jection attain it's maximum error of 2 1-3 per cent.
 The Lambert projection is well adapted to large areas of predominant ing east and west dimensions in the United States where the distance across from east to west is 14.5 times that of the distance north and south
 The strength of the polyconic projec- tion, on the other hand, is along its central meridian. The merits and de- fleets of the two systems of projec- ton may be stated in general way as being at right angles to each other.
 Special Features.
 Special features of the Lambert pro- jection that are not found in the poly eonic may be stated briefly as fol- lows:

 Saved Albania for Allies.
 By so doing" said General Scriven, Italy saved at least the greater part of southern Albania from the horrors of Austrian and probably Bulgar occu- patton, and, in addition, became the deciding factor in the great ultimate success of the Balkan campaign, which now appears to have been the loose stone in the arch that upheld the Ger man power.
 By this peaceful occupation n mili- tary position was secured that later be- came an important naval station for the allies, as well as strategic and tactical base of such importance that had 1t fallen into the hands of the enemy, the great military romance of the Balkans, if played at all would have occupied far more narrow stage, and the whole of western AL bania would have been thrown open to the Germans.
 With the entrance of the Italians into the war, military activity in the Balkans increased. Additional forces were sent to Valona, from which as base Italian control was extended over all southern Albania. The Italian troops. without violence, and. indeed. at the request of the inhabitants them selves occupied the interior towns or the ruins, as some of them then were, of Tepeleni, Argiro-Castro, Premati. Llascoviki, Santa Quaranta, and Porto Palermo.
 Made Modern City of Hamlet.
 When the Italians landed Nalona offered only the picture of fishing village lying asleep in filth on the picturesque shores of what is n really beautiful bay.
 With the arrival of the Italians the town awoke aS if by magic. Italy went to work to make Nalona not only habi- table but prosperous. Government buildings rose almost in the night. Docks were constructed, electric lights | were installed, Sanitation was not neglected
 "To my mind the greatest accom- pliShment of the Italians in Valona, and elsewhere in Albania, lies in the i splendid military roads they have con Structed.
 General Scriven has just been in- 1 formed by the Italian Embassy at | Washington that for his service with the Italian armies the Grand Cross of the Crown of Italy has been conferred | upon him."
