I UNIQUE ALBANIANS No one quite knows where the Albanians came from. Their language lang-uage has no root or similarity with the Greek, Latin, or Slav languages which surround them, or with the Turkish which for a long time was the official language lang-uage of Albania. As far as historians can make out, the Albanians are an ancient an-cient and absolutely separate race which got shunted off behind the Albanian Alps, where for centuries cen-turies they have lived distinct from their neighbors. Some historians histor-ians go so far as to claim that there is a language similarity between be-tween Albanian and the American Indian, while others think the Albanians Al-banians may be the lost tribe of Israel. It remains a fact that the Albanian, Al-banian, faced with the problem of gleaning a living from the wildest wild-est mountains of Europe, has lived liv-ed more by his rifle than his plow, and in ancient times comprised com-prised the backbone of the Sultan's Sul-tan's janissaries. However, modern warfare, the machine gun and the airplane have kept the Albanian strictly to his mountains. In the reshuffling reshuffl-ing of boundaries which followed the last war, the aggressive young government of Yuloslavia, a favorite fa-vorite of Woodrow Wilson, was able to carve out a sizeable chunk of Albania for itself. It was this borderland area of Serbian-Albania that one of the Merry-Go-Rounders first learned to respect the Albanian fighting prowess. The' Yugoslav government govern-ment had taken over this region in name, but actually had no more control over it than Japan has over inland China. Serbian officials living in these border towns sat at night with their shades down, fearing Albanian Attack. ALBANIAN BORDER RAIDS Once a month it became the problem of the Yugoslav government govern-ment to pay its officials along the border, and once a month also it was the delight of the Albanians Al-banians to lie in wait for the horse-drawn kola which carried the cash. And once when Serbian Ser-bian employees remained unpaid for weeks, the government finally fin-ally appealed to us of the Quaker Relief mission to carry nine million mil-lion paper dinars from the rail-held rail-held to the Albanian mountains a trip Which in this case was entirely en-tirely uneventful except that the box of dinars la yon the top of our truck in a pouring rain for three days and was almost ruined. In Albania, every man's home is his castle. Aroulid the house is a stone wall with gun slits at the entrance and usually a barbed wire entanglement. The house is of stone, and the first floor has no windows. Gunshot might be pour- Pomp Surrounds Services for Late British Ambassador r ? i SPRINGVILLE . MRS.

The second floor has gun-slits for windows, win-dows, and only on the third floor are the windows at all adequate. Even these are heavily shuttered. Travel through Albania may be dangerous unless you first call upon the Chieftain of "the region through which you are traveling and get a guarantee of safety. If you are a friend of Albania this is willingly given, and once given it means that the chief swears to give up his own life if yours is taken. This pledge means much more than mere lip-service, and is accompanied ac-companied by drawing blood in the wrist of each, and swearing "blood besa." Then presents are exchanged.

TRIBAL WARFARE! 5T- When Albanians are not faced by a common enemy the Italians or Yugoslavs they are not averse to keeping in military trim by fighting among themselves. Once the wTiter picked up a young Albanian Al-banian along the roadside, shot in three places. At our American hospital he had to have his leg amputated, but refused to take ether, and did not make a sound during the operation. Even the Albanian costume is designed for fighting.

Irony of the present situation is that although the Albanians hate the Italians, no great love is lost between the Greeks and Albanians either. TITeir present alliance is one of convenience, and what every Albanian must fear is the probability proba-bility that Greece, if finally victorious, vic-torious, will carve out a slice of Albania for herself. Sentiment between the Greeks and Albanians is similar to that between the Albanians and Serbs. When the writer finally took his departure from this part of the world, a farewell dinner was given giv-en by the Serbian army commander comman-der and the Albanian mayor, at which tribute was paid to the efforts of the Americans to bring peace and friendship to these rival peoples. Toward the end of the evening the Serbian commander and Nedjib Beg, the Albanian mayor, had their arms about each other's necks in tribute to their undying friendship. Next morning, as our party mounted its horses for the five-day five-day ride across the mountains to the Adriatic, word came that someolie had shot Nedjib Beg.
