Prince "Wilholm of Wied, the new ruler of Albania, has announced his intention in-tention of loading his troops against tho Greek insurgents who have refused to bow to the decision of the great powers of Europe that tho town of Korit7.a must belong to Albania. Tho Greeks havo risen and taken possession of tho place. Koritza is only ono of tbo many bones of contention in tho Balkan country, coun-try, as Princo William will llnd out to his cost before ho has a chanco to poso as king for any great length of timo. Nono of tho countries engaged in tho recent strugglo is satisfiod with tho outcome, with the possiblo exception of Rumania, which, vulture like, Bwooped down upon blooding Bulgaria and so-cufed so-cufed a large slice of territory without making a fight for it. Other wars in the Balkans are sure to come, and a little lit-tle brush with tho insurgent Greeks may give Princo William an opportunity oppor-tunity to show his mottle and gain much-needed experience. Huerta's batting average in the Federal Fed-eral league is getting poorer every day. Tho United States should go out of the secret service business.

We pay Colombia $25,000,000 for the privilege of letting England run our canal, and that is in addition to about $100,000,000 more we have spent on the canal. The women in Illinois voted the small towns dry and tho "big towns wot. Perhaps Per-haps they think it looks worse for a man to get drunk in a small town than in a big one. The Democratic candidate for congress con-gress who was defeated by a Republican Republi-can can solace himself with those words of warm indorsement Bent him hy President Presi-dent Wilson. The president himself, however, will tako small comfort out of that indorsement now. |
