agreed to Italian terms which ir1- fringed on the national sovereignty One of them, whose name obvi- ously can not be published, said:
 Any infringement of Albanian sovereignty with the consent of the Albanian government will inevitably mean revolution. The CzechoSlovak formula wil lnot work here."
 King Fog left the bedside of Queen Geraldine, daughter of an American woman, and their day old son Crown Prince Skander, to pre- side at an emergency cabinet meet ing and to take charge of the coun- try's defense.
 Rejoicing Becomes Anxiety
 A two day national holiday, pro- claimed in rejoicing at the birth of an heir to the throne, became in- stead an anxious period in which Albanian men, "sons of the eagle" who boast that every Albanian is born a soldier, affirmed their read- mess to fight Italy, as they once fought Turkey, for their liberty.
 A foreign office spokesman told the United Press last night that negotiations had been proceeding with Italy for a new military al- liance to replace the Italian -Alban- ian alliance of 1927.
 But he ridiculed reports that AL bania's acceptance of Italian mili- tary occupation, or formal Italian protectorate, had even been men. toned.
 Something Goes Wrong
 But it was evident that something had gone wrong.
 Even before the spokesman. statement, numerous Italian busi. ness men began chartering air. planes and reserving steamship pas. sages to evacuate their families During the night the Italian pro prietor of the city's leading hote closed the establishment and Jeff with his staff for the coast.
 Early today 1t was said author. itatively that all Italians through. out Albania, with the bare excep. ton of the diplomatic staff, vert being evacuated at once.
 Italian officers who have been ip. structors in the Albanian army, a. well as civilian experts and privats citizens, were said to be included in the evacuation program.
 Italians Flee Albania
 One ship, crowded with fleeing Italians, was reported to have sailed in the dark hours of this morning and two more-specially chartered like the first one-were expected tt leave before noon.
 As rumors spread that Albanian. Italian negotiations had run int difficulties, King Fog left his sis. ter's villa, at which his wife ans his day old son were living pending completion of the new royal palace to preside at an emergency cabine meeting.
 It was reported persistently tha Fog had ordered extensive militar, precautions along the coast.
 People were tense and nervous Small attachments of soldiers pa troled the streets.
 Rushing Troops To valona
 Then came reports today tha King Fog was rushing men am munitions to Valona, the stroni point on the coast, and the closes port to Italy, 60 miles across tn, Adriatic.

LONDON, April 22.-Germany's
inquiries among some smaller Euro
pean nations as to whether they
feared Nazi aggression were re-
garded here tonight as an attempt
by Reichsfuehrer Hitler to support
contention that President Roose-
velt's peace plea was unlimited and
unwelcome.
German officials refused to say
who received the QUESTIONABLE, but
some diplomats expressed belief it
was sent only to those countries
from which Germany was almost
certain to receive the replies the
Fuehrer wanted.
The questions, asked orally by the
German Ministers in various cap
itals. inquired whether the countries
considered themselves menaced by
Germany and whether they had
asked President Roosevelt's inter-
vention or knew in advance of his
plea for at least 10 years of assured
non aggression. All whose answers
were known replied in the negative
to the second question.
1t has been indicated in Berlin
that President Roosevelt's plea
would be rejected by Hitler when
he addresses specially called Ses-
sion OF the Reichstag next Friday.
