ALBANIA IS REBELLING AGAINST TURKISH DEBT
Sum Assigned To Little Country
 Would Drain Public Finances

TIRANA, Albania, March 24.-Lit- tie Albania. with her narrow strip of mountainous territory and her scant one million people, rebels Turkey for the reason that the former Ottoman empire. after col lecting it's tribute here, never so much as built bridge, constructed q road or erected a school. according to members of the newly constituted Albanian Parliament, which has been meeting in laborious sitting since the New Year.
 The sum assigned to Albania for payment was 750.000 gold francs, or about s150,O00. but this sum, the deputies say. would make a very seri- ous drain on the public finances.
 Albania is still the wild and unde- veloped country she has always been without a mile of railroad, almost impossible roads and but one or two schools at most. The government, constituted on the order of repub- lie. is bending every effort to collect sufficient revenue to meet the an- nual expenditures, figured at 1S.O00.- 900 gold francs. or about $3.600. 900, which represents but fraction of what the United States government spends in q single day.
 Though there is great deal of Turkish influence left in this small and primitive country. the present tendency is to throw off all of the Ottoman bonds and lean toward west ern civilization. Instead of sending their sons to Constantinople for their professional training. the well-to do now send them to Paris. London and Rome. Even in dress the tendency is to turn to the west for leadership.
 The toy capital, located here, is now putting on the airs of it's mission by the establishment of legations and consulates. Both England and America maintain legations. here, while Italy is represented by . con sulate.
