ALBANIA AGITATES FOR PARTITION OF
 FEUDAL HOLDINGS

TIRANA, Albania, Aug. 29.-Al- bania, struggling under the feudal system whereby land is owned by the few and worked by the many, is debating a proposed law which would split up the vast holdings of the "begs," or rich landowners, and give farms to the peasantry.
 At present the landlords have undisputed legal possession of all arabic land in the kingdom. The peasants who cultivate it do just enough work to produce the mini mum crops demanded by their feudal chiefs plus enough to keep their own bodies and souls to- gether.
 Although the country's chief foods are of agricultural origin and there are only 100000 people in the whole realm, the native farms do not come close to meeting the de- mands. Almost every year grain must be imported from America, Australia or Canada.
 One reason is that the soil is poor Another is that it is incom- pletely cultivated A third is that railways, roads and other market ing facilities are lacking.
 Division of the land among the poverty stricken peasantry would not, of course, cure all these ills. But it is being agitated as a ne- cessary first step toward making Albania self supporting.
 The practical difficulty in the way of realizing it is the fact that about two-thirds of the elected rep resentatives in the national leg islature are "begs' They have in- dicated that they intend to fight strenuously against any such revo- lutionary legislation so far as it affects land ownership.

 Now the idea forced itself into my mind that it was particular objection to being seen by Profes- sor LaXton.
 That manl"
 I recalled his stricken ex- nation. And the terrifying thought came that, later in the night, when Cousin John took fright at the open window, he might have had more reason for alarm than I supposed.
 For Laxton was in Devonshire on Saturday, as I had imagined do- ing some archaeological work, and his letter came to me from Tavis- tock-close to the scene of Cousin Johns escape. And LaXton had acted very curiously for a professor of archaeology on Sunday night. Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co)

a violent protest against the sen tence. He had ever since been most difficult prisoner, and this was why he was in Dartmoor-the Isolated fastness among the clouds of a mountainous wild reserve for the worst convicts.
 This was the narrative which spread over two or three columns of the newspaper. I read them with growing mystification and alarm.
 What a trick of fate that had brought quiet and decorous Wood cot into the midst of a sensational and sordid drama like this
 For I could not question that the hero of the fight on Dover cliffs and the escape from Dartmoor Prison now lay in the guest room. It all dovetailed in too perfectly to leave a single loophole-the days, the times, the circumstances. The police description of Richard might have been written sitting in front of Cousin John-his tall fig ure, his dark eyes and overhanging brows.
 And there was Veronica's sudden l flight from London on Saturday morning, her secret return on Sun- day evening. her concealment of a 1 fugitive-and such a fugitive! And there was Pell's absence al the same time Was Pell the other accomplice, the second man in the car? Somehow this did not seem to harmonize with the worst sus- 1 picion that tortured me about his death. But Pell's absence would have to be explained.
 That some connection existed be- tween the escape from Dartmool and the tragedy in the library al Nweplace I could not doubt. It wa | hateful to have my mother in tht midst of this confusion; but Veron. ica's blue eyes they placed mt under compulsion.

from Dartmoor Convict Prison on Saturday was much more remark able than it had appeared at first. The prison officials and the police were entirely nonplussed. They did not know where the man had gone or with whom.
 What they had discovered was the extremely clever way in which his accomplices outside had worked without arousing the least suspicion.
 The chief agent was apparently a young woman who was seen in a car that passed through the city Of Exter 70 miles from the prison, early Sunday morning.
 It was much later when it was discovered that the prisoner was missing: then, of course, it was far too late to trace the car.
 But the policeman who saw it was so struck by the physiognomy of the man who leaned forward impatiently and said, Go on, go onl" that when the description of the fugitive was circulated he had no doubt whatever this was the same man.
 The escape had been elaborately studied, and once out of the cell the prisoner had been able to get clear by a microscopical timing of the movement of the wardens and of ficers. The alarm system had been cleverly deranged.
 He had been provided with the cord and thin steel hook to throw over the wall. He had scaled il at the point nearest a plantation which. within three seconds, gave him perfect cover. The car waited for him in the road below the cop pice.
 The authorities suspected tha' without the assistance of an ac' compliee inside as well as outside 1t would have failed. A further point was that the accomphce out side must have been quite famllial with the routine of the prison
 The prisoner, of whom de' scription was issued, was Eugene Richard, 32. convicted at Canter- bury of manslaugllter and sen- fenced to five years penal servi- tude. He declined at the trial te

reveal a single fact about himself
 The crime of which he was con- victed was committed at Dover. He and another man, giving the name of Ernest Philip but also of un- certain nationality, seemed to have followed across from Ostend clerk in a London business house, return ing from Belgium with large sum in Belgian currency. Instead of taking the train to London the two men went to the hotel. Late at night they informed the police that they had been molested by a gang while walking. There had been a fight in which one of the gang had been knocked out.
 The police accompanied them to the place and found the clerk un- conscious. He died in hospital. No trace of the gang could be found
 Suspicion against the two men was confirmed when on Richard the police found considerable sum of money in Belgian currency to- talling 10000 francs Richard de- clared that it was his own.
 Richard admitted that he gave the blow which knocked out the clerk and declared that the blow was in self defense.
 The jury convicted of man slaughter, and the judge inflicted the severe sentence of five years penal servitude, and gave Philip, who was found guilty of being ac- cessory during the fact, 12 months hard labor.

SPECIAL LECTURE
TO BE GIVEN HERE

Under the auspices of Besant-
Service lodge, Godfrey Hodson, lee
turer and author, is to speak at
3:15 p. m. Sept. 10 and II, at the
D. A. R. chapter house, 824 North
PENNSYLVANIA street. Mr.. HodSon is
at present giving a series of lectures
before the TheoSophical World Con-
gresS now in session in Chicago,
where DR.. Annie BeSant, the inter-
national president of the Theoso-
phical Society is presiding. Mr..
Hodson has spent much time in re-
search of the subject of fairies,
gnomes, nature-spirits and kindred
inhabitants Of the So-called King
dom of Fairie.
II is Mr.. HodSon'S claim that
angels and fairies are rational and
acceptable realities and that to what
scientists are beginning to call
x-ray sight or extended vision, they
are entirely visible Ordinary vision
can not register sight of these be-
tngs because the light which ema-
mates from their bodies is beyond
the ultra violet of the spectrum.
The cause of disease and their
spiritual antidoteS will also be dis
cussed in HodSon's lectures next
week.

been associated with specific prayer
and practice, with the number of
instances in which force and arms
have brought no real safety.
One recalls the story of the man
who had travelled almost around the
world. in all sorts Of places and
among all sorts Of people, and who
had gone through all Of his wander
ings unframed. His only weapon
he declared was "a civil tongue, >
which he regarded as the best wea-
pom of all.
Just now in certain quarters there
rs a profound confidence in force
and feeling there is no safety IN
anything but material armament
and strength. The lessons OF his
tory, however, by no means uphold
such a theory. 1t is rather true Of
nations and people, that they that
have taken up the sword have per-
iShed with the sword. The cult
walton of the spirit of peace and
good will, the promotion of the arts
and commerce Of peace, are in
themselves valuable factors in ma
tons welfare and safety.
The reform which came in Israel
under Ezra had as its base the re-
discovery of the law Ezra knew
the value of sacred literature. Ev-
cry great spiritual movement in his
tory has had it's letter as we'll as its
spirit. The letter gives to it definite
ness and permanency, though there
is always the danger that the spirit
may be lost in the worship of the
letter.
But Ezra represented the spirit
living in the written word, giving it
life and meaning. He prepared his
heart to seek the law. of the Lord
a preparation that was something
more than preparation of the
mind. He had zeal to know Gods
ways.
But he went farther than this.
With him zeal to know was a zeal
to do, and zeal to teach, and en-
courage devotion in others.
What did he teach? Statutes and
Judgments" Judgments are more

than statutes. Statutes define right
laws and codes, but judgments ex-
press the sanctions of statutes as the
wisdom OF Gods laws becomes es-
tabliShed in their result and effects.
Ezra is the type of the religious
statesman and leader whose in
f1uence and power have been so
manifest in hiStory-not always for
ideal ends and in ideal ways, but
gloriously constructive where con-
secration, wisdom and largeneSS of
vision have been the accompani-
mentS of spiritual capacity.

TINE events Of the present lesson
l. occurred nearly sixteen Years
after the story of the rebuilding OF
the temple in the preceding lesson.
Apart altogether from the inf1u-
ence and destinieS of Israel, this
was a remarkable period in the
worlds history, for it was during
this time that Xerxes made his ia
nous invasion of Greece.
Ezra was a student and writer
of the type famous throughout his
tory among the Hebrews, a scholar
we'll verSed in the law and an en-
thusiastic patriot of Zion. His COM
ing to Jerusalem from Babylon with
a. party of priests, LeviteS, singers
and porters, nearly 1,400 in all,
marked a new era in Israel, for Ezra
was essentially a reformer.
There is an interesting and very
human touch in our lesson in the
danger which confronted this little
band because of then. enemies.
Ezra had represented his eXpedi-
jlO1l dS lLldl hSQ ny uLfAlIO puA POoN,
and he felt, therefore, a hesitancy
about asking the king for soldiers
to guard his company when he had
himself suggested that God was his
strength. He chose in his embar-
rassment the way Of fasting and
prayer and he tells how God deliv-
cred his company from the enemies
and from the dangers that lurked
by the way.
The distance Travelled in his trip
was nearly a thousand miles, so
that one can sense something Of
the nature Of the expedition in that
time of slow and dangerous travel.
The cynic who believes that safety
depends entirely upon force and that
God is on the side of the great bat
talions, may scott at Ezra's conf
dence in spiritual force, but it would
be interesting to compare the num-
