Anniversary Of Ascension.


Today was the tenth anniversary of
Zog's ascension to head of the nation
and a national celebration had been
planned by the little Adriatic kingdom
King Zog, &c. is unmarried, which
has been a source Of disappointment
to his people. He is a hereditary
chieftain of the Matt Clan and in
1924 led it against the Serbs. As re-
suit he was proclaimed the first Presi-
dent Of the Albanian republic and -four
years later was made King.
For more than year he and his
men fought the Serbs until a new
kingdom, aided by the great powers
was created During the World War
Austrians, charging him with con-
spring with Bulgarians, kept him in
Vienna until the armistice.
Wounded in 1924.
A year later Zog called a general
assembly and in an election became
minister of the interior and then
commander chief of the army. As
a reward for a successful campaign
against Serbs on the northern from
tier and for crushing a domestic
revolt, he was made premier. This
Office he held until 1924.
Then, on February %, he was shot
and wounded by a member of the
opposition and resigned. A revolu-
tionary group established a govern
ment which was over thrown six
months later by forces under Zog,
and on December 81 he was pro-
claimed president.
Both he and other leaders o. the
tiny country felt Albania would bt
more unified as monarchy and he
was elected king by the national as
sembly, September /, 1928.
An ambitious program OF develop
Ynent has marked Zog's reign, which
emphasized development of national
resources. An attempt to assassinate
him in Vienna IN February, 1881, re-
suited in the Staying Of one of his
aides and the wounding Of another
but Zog was unhurt.
