BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug.
II U.N.S0.-Albanian King Zog's
ambition to make an American
heireSS his queen was blamed to-
day for a short-lived revolt that
resulted in the killing Of go rebels
and II government soldiers and
placed leaders Of the uprising in
peril of the firing squad.
The rebellion, according to re-
ports received here, was led by
Shevket Verlatzi, a former AL.
banian premier, whose daughter
zog refused to marry seven years
ago because they could not
agree on a financial settlement.
Searched New York
Verlstzi was rich, but the AL.
banian exchequer was nearly
empty, and King Zog, seeking a
richer match, even sent a "scout"
to New York for the purpose.
Hundreds of rebels have been
arrested and King Zog sent Spe-
cial court martial to Fieri, center
Of the outbreak, to try them.
Several executions have already
been carried out, it is reported.
A large part Of northern Alba
mia was up in arms, and the rebels
captured Fieri, but the town was
retaken after a sharp clash by
government troops.
General Slain
Fieri was the scene Wednesday
Of the killing Of General Leon De
Gagliardi, a close friend of King
Zog, and the rebellion broke out
Immediately upon arrest of the al
legged slayers.
General Dgemal Andres, com.
mander Of the Loyal forces, is one
Of the eleven on his side said to
have been killed in the Fieri clash.
AS evidence that Albanian re.
ports telling of the revolt'S sup.
preston are correct, roads be-
tween YugoSlavia and Albania
have been reopened.

JOHN R. LATE
GETSG-MAN
REWARD

John r. Late was not late to-
day, although his fingerprint was
submitted for publication some
time ago in "G.Men Game" in The
Washington Times. Late was
early as the first to be awarded
IS for identifying correctly his
print yesterday.
Late lives in Laurel, Md. He
writes:
II have been watching every
paper since the "G-Men Game"
started, and to date I have not
seen two prints that were alike.
have kept all the prints and
have filed them. At last I have
seen my print, and I identify it
as my own. Print No. 1872 is
mine."
Babies Are Identified
Fingerprinting as the most pos
tive means Of criminal identifi-
cation known to G-Men and police
the world over has been the basis
of another Identification develop
ment for practical purposes en-
tirely outside criminal and police
circles, that of inSuring the
Identification Of babies from
birth.
Many children have been reared
through the ages under disputed
parentage because of lost identity
after birth.
Today maternity wards in the
principal hospitals of the country
avoid this error beyond any queS-
ton by recording the footprints"
of babies within a few hours after
birth, which becomes q part Of a
permanent record Of birth and
identity, together with the finger
prints of the mother.
More Easily Made
The reasons given for foot
prints as an exception to finger.
prints in baby Identification are
two fold: They are more easily
made than fingerprints, due to
the greater surface of the foot as
compared with the infants finger
tips, with lines developed, and as
a result are more easily read for
Identification.
In most instances a duplicate
record is made for the mother
which may prove of immeasurable
value to her should anything hap
pen to erase other natural features
of the child in its early years.
Last, but not least, Of the prac-
tical purposes served by a record
of baby footprints is that of estab-
fishing or locating the mother OF
an abandoned, or lost child.
= "G-Men Game" appearing daily
in The Washington Times is en-
tirely devoid of serious aspects,
and is running for interest and
amusement only. The only identi'
fication possible in "G-Men
Game" is by the owner Of the
print.
HERE ARE THE RULES
"G-Men Game" calls for one
clear fingerprint only, and when
published will pay its owner S..
If he, or she, identifies it.
1. Use BLACK INK ONLY
and make a clear impression Of
your middle finger on WHITE
paper.
2. Write your name and Sd-
dress on the sheet and mail it
to the Fingerprint Editor, The
Washington T m s, Washing
ton, ID. C.
3. Keep a duplicate impres.
sion of your print for future use
in identifying your fingerprint
in The Times.
4. Examine t h fingerprintS
reproduced daily in The Wash.
ingtOn Times carefully and COM
pare your duplicate each day,
until you pick your own.
When you identify yours, send
in your claim BY THE NUM-
BERING APPEARING with the
published print, to the Finger
print Editor. If you are correct
you receive S5.
NOTE: Fingerprints bearing
scars or diSfigurementS or which
are submitted in any other than
BLACK INK, will not be con.
Sidered.
