World War Isn't Over for These Two

- HEYENNE, WYO.-It's far call
from the war-torn Germany of
1916 to the peaceful Chugwater
Flats, Wyo of 1921, but Adolf Pfinder
made it in his confession here of an
attempt to rob the state bank of Chug-
water by himself and his ally, Herman
j. Kusel, in declaration of war
against America and all things Ameri-
can. Kusel, old enough to be Flinders
father-grim, taciturn, fidgeting from
the sting of more than 300 birdshot
in his back and arms-listened to his
young confederates disconnected mar
rative and affirmed outstanding points
by interoplating cultural sentences.
kusel, fifty-fve years old, Swiss by
birth, was shot down and captured at
Ghugwater. Pfinder, plunging into a
thicket, escaped for the time, made
his way afoot, by automobile and by
train 10 miles to Bushnell, Neb., in
26 hours, and there was arrested by
pursuing officers in clothing store
which he and Kusel had established as
a base for their campaign against
American law and order.

AMERICAN FLAGS
FLY IN ALBANIA
Stars and Stripes Seen in All
LARGER Towns Beside Coun-
try's Colors.

One of the cheering sights that
greets the American visitor to Albania
is the American flag. In all the larg-
err towns the Stars and stripes may
be seen side by side with the coiofs
of Albania This is the outgrowth VI
the work of the American Red Cross
, which established hospitals ana Or
phanages in the principal towns. MOST
of the American relief workers nave
now withdrawn, but the native Al
banans have kept the American COZ
ors flying as evidence Of their appre-
citation and gratitude to their benefac-
tors.
Italy's action In withdrawing from
Albania has given fresh impetus anu
strength to the Albanian yeariins FOR
complete, independence and freedom
from foreign protectorates or man
dates. But the country is scarcely
strong enough to stand alone. she
needs the aid of England or America
to enable her to become yirile, sell
supporting, self-governing state.
The country Is extremely primitive.
There is not a single mile of passeh-
ger railroad, not Il telegraph wire, NOT
a mile of good highways. not news,
paper or post Office. 1t required
eight days for the Associated PRESS
correspondent to travel from Scuiafl
TO Koritzn, a distance of about 10
miles. The journey had TO be made
on horseback, which is the only form
of conveyance outside OF the imme-
mortal OK cart.
Though Albania is divided between
Mohammedan and Christian and fur
Their divided by the existence OF uit'
ferent sects of both these religions.
the national consciousness Is pred"ini'
nant everywhere except In very rev
communities in the South, where
Greek influence has reached In
through the medium of the orthodox
church. Every Albanian Is an Aha
nian first and inherits tradition
which has, through many generations
prohibited religious prosecutions OF
any sort.
The Albanian Is good business
