There is a feeline of | danger in the air—not imminent. per- | haps, but potential. In the past two factors have proved | sufficient to bring war. First, rivalry of two great states in the Balkans; second, inflammatory quarrels between the Balkan peoples themselves. 3 The last Balkan rivals were Austria- Hungary and Russia. The World War resulted. The latest rivals are Italy and France. War will almost certainly be avoided, but careful diplo- macy will be necessary. for there are two local inflammatory quarrels in progress, either of which may imperil peace.. - Albanian Protectorate Invelved.

The present’ trouble began when the Albaniah dictator, Ahmed Zogu gave Italy a protectorate treaty ov his country.
