 The Times. which Is conservative in foreign affairs news, played the Albanian revolution story in major news position today and commented editorially. The Times emphasized that two years ago a so-callcd rcvo- lutary army, organized in Jugo- Sla"ia, entered Albania and over threw the government, and recalled that last November an unsuccessful instruction was plotted or Jugo- Slavian territory. The November in- cident, the Times said, impelled President Zogu of Albania to nego- tiate the recently signed treaty with Italy. This treaty was widely re- marked up for the large influence gained by it for Italy in Albania.
 The worst feature of the present situation,' said the Times, lis that another Albanian adventure IS be- ing prepared in Jugo-Slavia ip cir cumstances in which even partial success would make Italian inter vention inevita ble. The results Of such an adventure are likely to be calamitous at best and must jeopardize Balkan peace. At worst, they may endanger much more than the Balkans"

'7ENDERFEET LOOK
 IN VAIN FOR GOLD
Disappointed That It Is Not in
 Plain Sight

Tonopah. New, March l9 R-- Rainbow chasers who believed that listfuls of gold may be picked up in the unstaked claims of the Weepan fields are moving here to be caught in the mirage Of disappointment.
 While skilled and experienced en- gineers and mining men moved about with the knowledge born of years spent with grubstake outfits. the tenderfoor learned that gold may be found in Weepah, but not i'll plan, sight.
 Word of the crush for locations in the new Weepah fields has had its effect in New York. where two astute daughters of Father Knicker- booker, evidently accustomed to dealing with head walters. tee- graphed their reservations for claims. They asked that few be reserved for them until their ar rival a few days hence.
 The young women, whose names were not made public. also asked that they be furnished with a hand book Of directors and other litera- ture on how claims are located.
 Many arrivals at Weepah come with the idea they can gather all the gold they need 10 make them comfortable by walking around the hills.
 Some are destitute and trebly burdened by the hardships of the rough-and ready mining camp. There are no accommodations for visitors who commute back and forth from Tonopah or are com pelled through adversi;y to stay in the open.
 There is nothing in the way Of charity to take care of those inno- cent ot the art of prospectine. Ground has been located for siN miles in every direction. and the wide open spaces Of the rugged mining country hold terrors for the uninitiated.
 Men, and even women. who never in their lives before heard Of veins. crosscuts, lagsinss and stopes. hy- draulic gold washing and p.acor mining, are arriving daily.
 A series Of claim transfers is be ing negotiated involving many thousands of dollars. and it is ex- pected that next week four proper ties will have crews hitting the steel in competitive effort to provo tn, extension Of the rich strike that made the camp famous.

of the peasants party. and many
others are getting together in prepara-
ton for the peasants party congress
at Alba Julia on November 20. This
congress is likely to present a more
unified anti-Bratiano attitude than
ever before.
Bratiano cleverly has always insist
ed that there be an Opposition" in
Rumania and seldom has suppressed
newspapers or political meetings. but
always has been extremely careful to
keep this opposition scattered. Now
there seems to be some semblance of
opposition unity. The opposition leap
ed at the Manoilecu trial as an issue
and while none of them have particu-
lar affection for Prince Carol, they re.
aliZe he has become an excellent peg
on which to hang constitutionalism.
If Bratiano will grant the reforms
the peasants want, there is no chance
of Carols return. 1t is difficult, how
ever, to see how any political change
can come with the Bratianos control
ling the police, army. banks. most of
the newspapers and the elections.
No one knows how to interpret the
astonishing outcome of the Manoiles-
Gu trial. If the verdict of acquittal was
honest it shows that opposition to the
Bfatl3nOS was stronger tnan nau beeH
dreamed. On the other hand. the ac.
quittal may have been ordered by the
Brat!anos as shrewd political move,
to avoid making the Carolist emissary
a martyr. In any case the inner po-
litical situation Is anything but re-
assuring. Outwardly Bucharest is as
quiet as tomb, and any talk of street
fighting or revolution is fantasy or
Hungarian propaganda. But there Is
a good deal OF subsurface seething
and rumbling.

COOLIDGE BELIEVES
IN NAVY EXPANSION
Presidents Convictions Not
Caused by Failure of
Geneva Conference.

Although President Coolidge expects
the American Navy to be increased
by some additional cruisers, it was
explained at the White House yester-
day afternoon that his desire for a
naval program of expansion has not
been prompted by the failure of the
naval limitations conference at Geneva
last Summer.
While the President has made it
plain that he will ask Congress for
sufficient money to add several
cruisers to the Navy. there has been
no indication at the White House as
to- the number of craft he will recon-
mend for authorization. 1t Is said
however, that the cruiser plans are
considerably advanced over those for
the submarines and that there is a
likelihood of delay in the construc-
ton of the underwater craft.
This condition. 1t has been explained.
is necessary because the authorities
of the Navy are still experimenting
with new theories of submarine boats.
So far as the failure at Geneva is
concerned In its relationship to the
administration naval expansion pro-
gram, it is said that Mr.. Coolidge
looks upon the effect of that unsuc.
cessful parley as totally negative, in
asmuch as the United States had pre-
viously decided upon it's building pro.
gram, subjects to changes which might
have been necessary IL an agreement
had been reached with Great Britain
