Praise for Italian
Army in Albania

and a republic set up with Essad
Pasha as president. He, too, was
forced out, and the little country was
left prey to Austrian intrigue from
the north and the Vaccinations of the
pro-GermaL King Constantine or
Greece from the south. On Christmas
day, 1914, the Italian government, fear
ing possible developments in Albania,
sent the 10th regiment of bersaglieri
to occupy the little fishing hamlet OF
Valona.
Saved Albania for Allies.
SPY SO doing" said General Scriven,
'Italy saved at least the greater part
of southern Albania from the horrors
of Austrian and probably Bulgar occu-
cation, 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 occupatici mill
,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, IL played at all, would
have occupied a 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 a
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, Prenati,
Llascoviki, Santa Quaranta and Porto
Palermo.
Made Modern City of Hamlet.
"When the Italians landed, vaIona
offered only the picture of a fishing
village lying asleep in filth on the
picturesque shores of what is really
beautiful bay.
with the arrival of the Italians the
town awoke as if by magic. Italy went
to work to make Valona not only habi
table but prosperous. Government
buildings rose almost in the night
General Scriven has just been in
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"

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Horses and mules will be used for
many years on some farms.
Compared with corn, niue bushels
Of cooked potatoes are worth two Of
the grain as a hog feed.
When lambs are coming rapidly the
ewes should be watched day and night
to avoid unnecessary losses.
1t does not pay to take a chance
feeding hogs swill which contains
strong soap or some Of the washing
powders.
A lamb too weak to stand should get
a fill of it's mothers milk as soon as
possible. If 1t refuses to nurse feed it
from a bottle.
Il is needless to say that In order
to obtain the greatest profit In raising
hogs, whether few or many are grown
good pasture is absolutely necessary.
Where alfalfa hay is fed as the
roughage part of ration for farm
horses at hard work. less grain is nee
essary than where timothy hay is fed.
Where a mixed grain ration Of corn
cats, oil meal and bran is fed. clover
hay is equally as efficient If not a lit
tie superior to timothy for horses at
hard work. '--'-

New Outline Map
Country Made

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,OOO,OO0.
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 tha
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
lions were prepared by the coast geo.
detic survey.
Many methods of projection have
been designed to solve the difficult
problem of representing spherical
surface on a plane. As different pro-
jections have unquestionable merit as
well as equally serious defects, the
announcement states, any region to be
mapped should be made the subject Of
special study and that system of pro-
lection adopted which will give the
best results for the area under consid-
Grafton.
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 polyconic pro-
lection, widely used and well adapt
&C 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
coast and in Maine the error in scale
is as much as 61a per cent, while at
New York it reaches Az per cent.
The value of the new outline map
on the Lambert projection can best be
realized when 1t is stated that it shows
that throughout the; largest and most
important part of the United States,
that is, between ATTITUDES 301s degrees
and 40 degrees, the maximum scale
error is only one-half of per cent.
This amount of scale error of one-half
of / per cent is frequently less than

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
valona, or Avlona, as it 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 as one OF
the keys to the Adriatic, and their oc-
cupation since December, 1914, when
troops were landed because of internal
disorder, has transformed it from a
squalid fishing village to seaport that
is on its way to attain an Importance
it has 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 WED, placed on the Albanian
throne by the powers. was overthrown,

the distortion due to the method of
printing and to changes from the hui
Nudity of the air. Only in southern
most Florida and Texas does this pro-
lection attain it's maximum error of
21-3 per cent.
The Lambert projection is well
adapted to large areas of predominat-
ing east and west dimensions in the
United States where the distance
across from asst to west is 14.5 times
that of the distance north and south.
The strength of the polyconic projec-
ton, on the other hand, is along it's
central meridian. The merits and de-
fects of the two systems Of projec-
ton may be stated in a general way as
being at right angles to each other.

Hotels.

London.-For four months Sidney
Meredith, az attractive musician Of
%, dressed like, prince and threw
money to lie winds in fashionable
hotels on the $1,000 to $500 a week he
acquired through the daring theft of
autom 9biles in London. He finally came
to grief, however, and has been SEN
fenced to three years Imprisonment.
Meredith has thorough driving
knowledge of cars, and this, with his
appearance, was his stock in trade. he
would not attract attention as he
climbed into big car standing In front
az club or hotel and drove away, and
he confined himself largely to this
method. He confessed, the police say,
to stealing thirty machines in the four
months he operated.
Meredith is accredited with saying
that he sold each car quickly to syn
