10 the Editor Of The Star:
Inasmuch as Capt Gordon Gordon
Smith, military attache to the lega-
tion of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
has taken exception to and con-
troverted a number of statements
made by Mr.. oliver o. Kuhn in con-
nection with the Serbian aggression
against Albania, may 1 be permitted
to submit a few simple facts that go
TO the heart of the problem?
Jointly with his employers. Capt
Gordon-Smith makes once more the
oft-repeated and dried-up assertion
that Serbia is inspired with genuine
affection for free and independent
Albania? But how come, then, that In
the course of the last two years
Serbia has twice invaded Albania. or
was it only for the purpose OF enjoy
ing the widely famed Albanian hos
pttality? Very unfortunately. the
ruins and desolation they are leaving
behind belle the existence of any
such love. But here there comes
again Capt. Gordon-Smith to rescue
his first false premise by inserting
two lame conditions. to wit, that
"Albania must be really free and in
dependent and not merely a puppet
government. of which some power
outside, Albania pulls the strings: and
secondly, the government must be
able to maintain order in the interior
and prevent acts of brigandage by
turbulent clansmen on the territories
of its neighbors."
1t would seem that Capt. Gordon
Smith makes the implication that
Italy-that is. "the power that pulls
the strings"-has made a puppet out
of the Albanian government. But how
would he, or any of his employers,
for that matter. reconcile this Italo-
phobia Of theirs with the fact that the
Albanian government has set stead
fast and unflinching attitude toward
Italy In the matter of the main
island Of Sasseso. even when the
other powers have virtually agreed
to concede to Italy that right, as a
result of which there has always been
the imminent danger of a break in
the relations between the two coun-
tries? The incontrovertible truth is
that Italy is the one power that
learned well her lesson, so far as
Interference in Albanian affairs is
Can't, Gordon Smith would reconcile his
assertion with the positive fact that
the Albanian government adopted the
most solemn procedure, by sending an
oficial delegation to Belgrade. for the
purpose Of coming to direct under
standing with Serbia to be told only
by N. Nicholas Pachitch himself. her
premier, that the principal condition

Shipments have been made by ex-

Thus, there have been formed SO

almost always it was the more

The idea of running the Germans
and the Magyars has been "ren-

affairs. Thus, while. on more than

COMPLAIN OF COAL SIZES.

PHILADELPHIA. November 52S.-
For many months complaints about
pea coal in chestnut sizes and buck =
wheat in pea sizes have been made
by consumers. until buying of fuel
has been seriously affected. Even
the large size coal has been mixed in
with stove and egg in many instances.
The complaint says the situationr'is
going to react against the anthracite
industry. Consumers have learned. in
the course of many years, to know
chestnut and pea by well defined
standards. If these standards must
be changed the change should be done
openly and with careful consideration
of prices.

1t is to be anticipated that before

growth Of the dairy industry would
naturally bring this condition about,

Southern Section of West Vir-
ginia Home of Funds and
LawIessness.

LOGAN, w. Va. Sept. 10. = The
southern section Of West Virginia,
scene OF the present conflict between
miners, residents and public authori
ties. has been noted for its bloody
conflicts and lawiessness for a century.
The picturesque mountain section
comprising the counties OF Wyoming.
Logan. Mingo. Mcdowell and Boone,
has rarely been without some sort OF
warfare or smouldering quarrel, likely
al any moment to burst into the flame
az rifle fire.
Hemmed In by rugged mountains
the early settlers were cut off from the
outside world and succeeding genera
lions have so remained to a more less
extent. Roads are few, travel is slow
and tedious. and~the advance OF civilI-
xation has slxirted this mountainous
region until today It has gained the
reputation Of being one OF the most
primitive sections east Of tbs Mississ-
ippi river.
From the early period when the
hardy mountaineers fought the Indians
until today. the inhabitants have had
tendency TO take the law into thei-
own hands and to nete out justice ac-
cordlng 70 their own ideas. This, no
doubt, has been due in part to the
fact that law and order have had
hard struggle 10 gain q foothold in d
section sparaely settled, almost impas-
sable during the winter months and
often almost entirely cut off.
Except for the small towns, the i'm
habltants or the most part are noun
taineers Many live In log cabins, and
combine farming on a small scale with
fiahing and trapping. Schools and
churches are few and far apart. Many
children do not attend school. others
have the advantage OF a SIX months
term.
Probably one Of the first affairs OF
the section to gain the attention Of
the outside world was the Hatfield
Mccoy feud, which continued intermlt-
tently for the greater part OF half
century.
Few OF the many feud killings re-
suited in prosecutions and fewer stilI
n convictions. In many cases It was
found almost impossible to obtain jur-
les, as practically every inhabitant
knew the juries or was related.
The section, like some other noun
famous regions, also became known
years ago as a stronghold for moon-
sinners, Revenue agents and state pro-
ambition officers had almost innumer-
able clashes with mountaineers when
they penetrated the region I'll search Of

pany They are stalwart soldiers Sc
lected from the fierce race of Lazes,
whose homes border the Black Sea
country between Batum and Trebi-
zond.
They are dressed entirely in black.
Each is dead shot and carries a rifle
with several ammunition belts buckled
around him and huge crescent shaped
knife stuck in his belt. These men do
sentinel duty about his villa, near tho
city, and at his office in the railway
station, and travel with him on his
longer journeys. One or two ride in mis-
automobile when he motors, or else
follow in another one of his automo-

the men are quiet and orderly. The
guard was chosen from the Bazes be-
cause they have the reputation Of be-
ing the bravest and most ferocious
fighters of all Asia.

and their coming was usually heralded
long before their arrival.
The Mingo coal fields, however, have
proven the latest and most bloody
ground Of conflict. This trouble started
with efforts Of the miners union to
unionize the Mingo fields, almost the
only coal section in the state not or
ganized.
The operators resisted and at first
the miners themselves showed slight
enthusiasm There were frequent
clashes between union and non-union
miners. Many Of the Mines We're closed
down, union miners began TO picket
the mines and the operators retaliated
by evicting union miners from COM
pany houses.
1t was such an affair that resulted
in the noted Matewan trigger" fight
III which q number OF citizens of Mat
tewan, including the mayor and several
private detectives employed by the
mine operators were killed.
Nearly a score Of Mingo men. i'm
Guiding Sid Hatfield, were indicted in
connection with the death OF one of
the detectives. Weeks were spent re-
Gently in obtaining a jury and other
weeks in trying the case. The accused
were acquitted. In the meantime there
had been other acts of violence, miners
from outside the region had been
brought in and often the situation was
beyond control OF the state police and
the county authorities
At various times state and federal
troops have been sent to the section
and maintained order under martial
law.
