Konitza is among the most schol- arly of-the statesmen of his country and has filled many important mis- sions before assigned as first envoy to this Capital.. He was educated in Al- bania, but made his collegiate studies in the old University of Dijon, in Bur- gundy, France. He followed a literary career after taking his degree in Dijon in 1898 and for 10 years he was editor of a literary review, Albania. He pub- lished several books, the most ambi- tious being a philosophical novel which appeared two years ago under the title “Doktor Gjelpera.” The Minister to this Capital has held many important diplomatic posts, He was a delegate of the revolutionary committeee to London, to Vienna and to Rome, and he played the same part in aligning the great powers on the side of Al- banian independence that Franklin, John Adams and other patriots did in varfous courts of Europe for the strug- gling colonists. He was also a dele- gate to the conference of ambassadors which sat in London and which, by the treaty of November 28, 1912, ac- knowledged the complete independence of Albania from Turkish rule. Al- ia possesses one of the most an- cient civilizations of the world, and under its old name, Illyria, isa classic region famed in Greek mythology as well as in the history of Greece and Rome. It had been held a vassal un- der the Turkish rule since 1479 and it was the last of the historic Greek provinces to break loose from the Musselman powers.
