man scene of March 26th, 1889, let's get little more perspective:
 Two thousand years ago the Roman Empire dominated the known world. She was not only mighty in her Legions and in- trepid commanders but she was mighty in her Forum, her Laws, her Literature, her Architecture, her Art;-and soon a Roman Emperor recognized the merit of the Christian Religion and gave it a home and protection in the heart of Rome.
 Gaul and Spain were hers by conquest, and when in 55 B. 0. Julius Caesar invaded Britain and found there a population of barbarians, he put them on the track of civilization and law and order, and grafted his own rich language upon their uncouth jar- gon.
 And so Rome in her might, fired the world with ambition and 8 hunger for knowledge.
 And now, after 20 Centuries have passed and our time to live has come-what do we see? The

Tirana, Albania, April 6-(UP)- Albania Nationalists pledged them- selves to fight for independence to- day and asserted that they would revolt if the government agreed to an Italian protectorate.
 Italian civilians began a mass evacuation of Albania and King Zog, as commander in chief of the army, was reported rushing men and arms to the AdNatic coast in fear of an Italain invasion.
 Fog and members of the cabinet were still negotiating with Italian diplomatic representatives this morning in an effort to find 8 peaceful formula to satisfy Italy's desire for more extensive influence over the country.
 Diplomatic quarters believed Italy might be satisfied with an agree ment which would meet its demands but would leave Albania semb- lance of independence.
 Public Grows Angry
 z But public opinion was getting angrier. Patriotic organizations, particularly Nationalistic and stu dent societies, began developing national determination to resist.
 Leaders told me privately that they would resist even If King Zog
