The Best Shots in the World

But once more the old claims began
to be urged. The Greeks, no longer
insisting upon half of Albania. aske d
only the Hellenic regions, including the
towns of Argyrocastro and Koritza, The
Italians stayed in Valona and continued
to oppose Greek claims. Serbia, with
whom Montenegro had now united, re-
asserted claims to Scutari and the
Lower Drina. Italy proposed that Sou
tari should take the place of Fiume in
Slav calculations Britain and France
assented, but President Wilson inter
posed a veto. Meantime, Italy began to
reopen the old question of an Albanian
protectorate, this time disguised under
the euphemism of a mandate.
AS for the Albanians, they continued
to shoot the Italians, whenever a good
target appeared; they opposed Greek
claims in the South and they met Serb
claims to Scutari with their own de-
mands for Prisrend, Ipek and Jacova
and the tribal lands down at London.

Albanians has gained in intensity with

Like all Balkan and, indeed, Middle
European problems, the Albanian ques-

Albanian which no one now advocates:
that is, the creation of real Albanian
state, its frontiers extended to take in
certain old Serbian lands and main

with the Italian totally excluded. Then
there is the Italian solution, which
makes Albania as big as possible, but
only to be an Italian protectorate or

Watteau's IL L'Embarquement pour la
Cythere"
The never-fading sunlight lies
Upon these painted pilgrims who
Would seek, for greater ecstasies,
A land where skies are deeper blue
AS they prepare to put to sea
They seem to hasten not at all;
They're sad beneath their gayety,
And somewhat lackadais cal;
AS If they know that all in vain
Will be their voyaging afar;
That happiness will only wane,
All unfulfilled, in Cythera.
We know-and envy them a bit
That they shall never leave this
frame,
But by the rose-wreathed Venus sit
And play at love an endless game.

4 Compromise State

Russia supported the Serb claim but
neither Russia nor Germany was ready
for the general war, and in the end
there was compromise which created
an Albanian state, deprived the Greeks
of their claims in Northern Epirus, took
Scutarl from the Serbs and Montene-
grlns and erected q state, which was no
more than geographical expression.

to Durazzo, after their defeats of 1915.

Youngest and Oldest

In 1912 the first Balkan war re-

Europe, and the Albanians, having been

who allowed them comparative freedom
and drew from them some of his best
troops, found themselves suddenly faced
with the prospect of partition between

forward to the occupation of all of
Albania, since the possession of Valona
carried with it the control of the

Adriatic But while they were rivals,
both were agreed in opposing the ac-
quisition of Albania by two Balkan
states. The dispute was carried to
London, where Sir Edward Grey pre-
sided at conclave which devoted MANY
weeks to deciding whether Ipek and
Jacova should be Albanian or Monte
negrin, and ended by giving them to
the Slavs, although the population was
purely Albanian.

PRODUCTION LOW
 FOR GOLD HINEs
High Cost of Recovery and Many Causes Restrict Output in

Less gold was produced through out the world In Che year ending July ]. 1920. than In the same period in 1919 or 1918. according to fg- ures recently given out by Che geo. logical survey. Indications are that the calendar year 1920 will show big decrease over either Of the two previous years as Che first half show cd a heavy falling o0.
 The decrease is attributed to lack of water for placer operations, the dcpreciatcd value Of gold and the outlook that there win be little change during Che next six months. Owners Of gold properties are holding them inactive. rather than operate them. believing Che gold is paying better interest by remaining in thc ground than 5y being taken out un- der present conditions
 In 1919. the gold output Of the world was between S345.0OO.oOo and S35O.O00.000 as compared with s3S0.OOO.0O0 m 1918. This year it is estimated that Che output will be utle if anything over S3oo,Ooo.o0o. Inc is believed that the home produc- ton in the United States win be less than S5O0OO.0OO.
