BY the Associated Press

Washington, June 11.-Official cable
advices today reported that the province
of Koritza, in southern Albania, has
been evacuated by the French troops
and turned over to the forces of the AL

time the Albanians have been in con-
troll of their entire country since De

the Orient occupied the southern por-
tions in the campaign against Austro-
Hungary. The Italians still occupy the
port Of Nalona.

the advices. said the stand taken by
the United States in refusing to permit
the cession of the southern provinces to
Greece. had been Of the utmost impor-
tancc in restoring tO the Albanians this
portion of their country.
"Thc action of tho French military
authorities in turning over the province
of Koritza to u.s." he added, lis one of
the greatest Importance. for with the
addition of this province to Albania. the
territorial unity of the Albanian state is
achieved with the exception of Nalona,
which the Italians seem determined to
hold against the wishes of the in
habitants.
The Greeks are massing troops along
the frontiers of koritza and the rest Ct
northern Epirus with the evident inten
ton of laying hands upon these
provinces at the first opportunity. Blu,
we Albanians feel thankful because We
are now given the opportunity of fight
ing back and the Albanian people are
determined to stand by their nationa
patrimony to the last drop of theil

in the United States will be dis
tributed throughout European coun-
tries.
"In a few months the unsettled
conditions in the Far East, which
have enabled Japan to gain almost a
complete monopoly on trade, will be
brought back to normal conditions
and goods purchased in America will
move freely from all Pacific Coast
ports over the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way and the Siberia Railway as well
as the Baltic Sea ports, the Muir
mansk ports and the Black Sea ports.
"The Vanderlip syndicate purposes
to act as fiscal agents for the Rus
sian Soviet government Immediately
upon restoration of trade and the
abandonment of the British blockade.
"The Russian government is
capable of carrying out any trade
contracts between it and citizens of
the United States because it is to the
interests of the Soviet government to
develop economic relations as stipu-
lated by this contract.
"The Russian government is the
oldest in Europe. It's ministry has
not been changed in three years,
which is not true of any other first
class European power.
Gall parts of the United States will
benefit by the restoration of trade
relations-from California to Maine,
from Washington to Florida. Fac
tories will expand and run full time.
Farmers, merchants and all classes
of labor will share in the prosperity.
If the majority of American people
will no longer tolerate the chaotic
conditions prevailing in Europe they
must seize this great opportunity to
bring peace and reconstruction to the
World. The keystone of these con-
ditions is the opening of trade re-
lations between the United States
and the Soviet Russian Republic"

the last figures being only a few

]. Ernest Cheatham, of Abbeville,
was shot and killed by Erasmus O.
Simpson, at Watts station, on Sea-
board Air Line Railway, this morning
about ten o'clock. Three shots were
fired and all took effect. 1t appears
from statements given US by those
who interviewed eye-witnesses that
Cheatham and Simpson were disput-
ing about the division of crops rails
ed on the Cheatham place, and which
was worked this year by Simpson.
Just what was said before the shots
were fiered is not certain. Cheatham
is said to have attacked Simpson with
a hammer which he had in his hand.
Whether he hit Simpson with the
hammer before the first shot was fir
ed is not certain, but it appears that
he did hit him on the head one time
with the hammer, the lick leaving an
ugly bruise, Simpsons arm was also
injured in warding off the blow, with
out which his skull would likely have
been crushed, as Cheatham was a
powerful man.
There has been trouble between the
participants since early in the year.
In the spring there was fight in Alb
beville in which CheathamN Ncut Simp-
son with a pocketknife. A warrant
was sworn out by Simpson and Cheat
ham was arrested but the case was
later settled in some. way. At least
the prosecution was not pressed.
