for Italian
Army in Albania

New York.-Brig. Gen. George 2.
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 n
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 n 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 q
squalid fishing village to a seaport that
is on it's 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,
and a republic set up with Essad
Pasha as president. He, too, was
forced out, and the little country was
left a 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 a new out
line map of the United States on the
Lambert conformal comic projection,
scale 1-5,000,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 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-
tons were prepared by the coast geo.
detic survey.
Many methods of projection have
been designed to solve the difficult
problem of representing a 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
ed for both topographic and hydro
graphic surveys, when used for thu
whole of the United States in one mai
has the serious defect of unduly exag
gerating the areas on it's eastern ant
western limits. Along the Pacify
coast and in Maine the error in seal
is as much as 6k per cent, while a
New York it reaches Az per cent. F.,
The value of the new outline ma,
on the Lambert projection can best b
realized when it is stated that it show
that throughout the largest and mos
important part of the United States
that is, between ATTITUDES 301A degree
and 40 degrees, the maximum seal
error is only one-half of 1 per cen
This amount of scale error of one-hal
of l per cent is frequently less tina

the distortion due to the method Of
printing and to changes from the hui
midity of the air. Only in southern
most Florida and Texas does this pro-
lection attain its maximum error Of
21-3 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-
ton, on the other hand, is along its
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.
Special Features.
Special features of the Lambert pro.
lection that r not found in the poly
comic may be stated briefly as fol.

formal-that is, all angles between In,

served, and for any given point Cor re

length of a linear element on the
earth's surface to the length of the cor
responding map elements is constan'
for all aximuths of directions in which
the elements may be taken.

the north and the Vaccinations of the
pro-GermaL King Constantine OF
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.
"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 a mill
tary position was secured that later be-
came an important naval station for
the allies, as we'll as a strategic and
tactical base of such importance that
had it fallen into the hands of the
enemy, the great military romance OF
the Balkans, if 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, Premati
Llascoviki, SAINTS Quaranta, and Porte
Palermo.
Made Modern City of Hamlet.
"When the Italians landed, Valona
offered OILY the picture of a fishing
village lying asleep in filth on the
picturesque shores of what is a really
beautiful bay.
with the arrival of the Italians thu
town awoke as If by magic. Italy wen
to work to make Valona not only habi
table but prosperous. Government
buildings rose almost in the night
Docks were constructed, electric light
were installed. Sanitation was no
neglected.
"To my mind the greatest accom-
plishment of the Italians in Valons
and elsewhere in Albania, lies In tn
splendid military roads they have cor
structed.
General Scriven has just been IL
formed by the Italian Embassy g
Washington that for his service wit
the Italian armies the Grand Cross
st the Crown of Italy has been conferre
