We have traditions antedating the Christian era. We have suffered under the tryant’s heel. We have been op- pressed by both Asiatic and European peoples. We have dreamed for centu- ‘ries a dream of freedom. We arc the most homogeneous race in the Balkans and long for the chance to determine our destiny by ourselves. America, whose pages of history gleam with glor- ious deeds in the cause of human lib- erty, should recognize Albania, for it is a country which\has suffered long cen- turies of serfdom and now, born. again as a nation, wants to retain the liberty so long withheld.” Bey Ahmet Zogu comes of. noble fighting stock. Tribal traditions and feuds in Albania have bred in him a hereditary warrior’s spirit. Today’s he is the one hero of Albania, and he stands out in bold relief as the young nation is trying to foster its national existence. He is a young man—not more than 28 years of age, and is re-| 2 garded as the real ruler of Albania. Slight of stature, tall, blonde, with blue Piercing eyes, he has one passion and that is to put Albania on its feet and set her house in order. Intrigues creep into the political life of the young and struggling state, but Zogu has always been able to nip them in the bud and maintain respect for constituted author- ity. A “Albania is rid of internal quarrels,” he said to the correspondent. “We have a little army of 9,000 men. These are to be used to keep order. When other nations say that Albania is at- tacking them, it is absurd, for Albania has neither the means nor the forces to attack anybody. We have a population estimated at over 1,000,000, and all Al- tmnians. There is not one foreign tribe | or sect, or group within our borders. On this alone, we have a right to our |; nationhood.” There are 120,000 Quakers in North America. 3 GOOD NEWS Drycleaning, Pressing, Dye- ing, Repairing and Remodel- ing.
