Two Scutaris are known to Ameri- cans: one on the Bosphorus, the seat of the American College for Girls .at Constantinople, the other much less familiar, on the northern barder of Albania, upon. the lake of Scutari, one-half of 'Which is Albanian or Tarkish, while the other half belongs to he plucky little kingdom of Mcnte- negro, writes Prof. W. T. Sedgwick before the fall of the Turkish foriress in The Eoston Transcript. Up to last October this Albanian Scutari was al- most unknown except to occaslonal tourists-and to students of history, for whom it was formerly Skodra, one of | the most important towns of ~ancient Illyria and until recently the principal place of entry for imports bound to central Albania and even to Belgrade, capital of Servia, and Sofia, capital of Bulgaia. Of late years, since the open- ing of the Danube, and with the build- ing of railways farther north, Scutari has sadly degenerated in importance although it still contains a population variously estimated at 30,000 to 50,009 Walking through its neglected streets, witnessing its inconvenient “port” and studying its mongrel population, pict- uresque in costume, but otherwise un- promising,. few visitors would have predicted that its fortress could pos- sibly withstand the six month’s siege to which it has now been subjected. A Cosmopolitan Village. Scutari is the ultimate point reached by most tourists after doing the Dal- matian coast, unless indeed these omit the remainder of Albania ang travel farther to Corfu and Greece. It is the point where they touch the “mysteri- ous unknown.” On.the other hand, to those who come from the mountalns of the Albaniaa interior Scutarl is the gateway thai leads to Kurope. It is the city where one finds consuls, banks, hotels, and _equippages, where one hears French, German and above all, Italian, where the traveller meets men of the Westrn world, and where he embarks for Montenegro and the country o fthe Christian. Were it not for its lake of brilliant water and its entertaining procession of people of the most varied sort, Scutari would be of 1ttle; interest, for it is & city of mis- erable houses, mosques ~destitute. of beauty, and only a lively bazaar where imported wares are sold. Its streets are badly neglected; it possesses neither lovely gardens nor Venerable trees, little or nothing of the beauty. to be found in some other Albanian towns. The“agglomeration,” as a recent French writer, M. Louis- Jarnay, characterizes the city of Scu- tari, is some distance from the lake, whose waters neither lend it life nor reflect it in its mirror. Still, the eye of the idler is vastly pleased by the ra- 1 contrasts and by the colors of the stume. On a market day one sees e specimens of various races, more sarieties of costume than in any other spot accessible to tourists. The ba- zaar unites the citadel and the town and is composed of a lot of poor shaps whose tnetlik roofs overhang them and | almost touch the ground. Hre kneel tha merchants selling cheap wares brought | from a distance to the poor Albanians of the interior, and before them streams an_endless ‘flow of people in multicolored dress, among them Turk- ish soldiers of every height, of evry sort of human face, and of every lang- uage—military importations from Minor. In a Dying State. And yet, says M. Louis-Jarnay, Scutarl.is a city of the past; its dead- ness 18 felt in every way. Formerly its baz: constituted an immense depot for Oriental merchandise, which awaited distribution through the in- It was what we call a distrib- uting point. But today it is a market where almost all transactions are local. Gommerce with distant regions of the Balkan peninsula s no longer a com- | merce of imports as of old, but rather —what little there is of it—of exports, | so that Servian pigs, for example, are exported from here to Italy and France. Again the silkworm disease has destroyed the local industry of eilk manufacture, and in this and every other way Scutari is a dying city. The growth and development of its neigh- bor Antivarl will soon complete its death if the Turkish Government, which takes absolutely no care of it, 1s allowed to prolong its occupation. ‘On the other hand a Montenegrin victory and Montenegrin or Servian owner- might perhaps be the salvation of Scu- tari. And now_has come a most dramatic moment. Surrounded, flercely at- tacked, and fiercely defended, Scutari still claims our eager attention as the st of the Turkish fortresses to hold out against all the conquering Balkan Ploneb MntmaeV Allies. But as all the word is breath- lessly watching Scutari, attention is diverted by the arrival off Antivari, the one little seaport of little Monte- | nesro, of the menacing warships of the Powers which have anchored there in a semi-circle as If to form on the Adriatic a_Turkish ~“crescent” with which to threaten, if not to_ thorw down, the “cross” of Christian Monte- negro. Until 1878 Antivari was like Scutari, Turkish territory, and by the treaty of San Stefano both were to go to Montenegro. But in that “raw deal” of the San Stefano cards during the great diplomatic game—in which Bis- marck and Disraell were the princl- pal players—which resulted in the Treaty of Berlin, Antlvarl only was thrown, llke a bone to a dog to Monte- negro. And under Montenegro it has pros- pered. To be finfshed but it has gone forward not backward, and from it has been buflt a winding narrow gauge rallway run- nig among . the hills and climbing slowly up to Vir-Baszar, the one poor railw and that only some eighteen miles long, in Montenegro, And even yet most of the western trade of Scu- tari comes and goes through Antivari, passing by the railroad to Vir-Bazar, its terminus on the lake, and thence to or fro by boat. “The Fort Itself The fortress of Scutari dates from the days of the Venetian occupation and stands on a high hill or cliff. And apparently this cliff, girdled as it has been with barbed wire entanglements, became almost jmpregnable, Probably, sure its docks are un- | 'and -Bulgarians- with ‘the. imactivity King Nicholas and hie mountaineers had few if any siege guns big enough Eg m;ll the fort untenable, and while | o Se help them little has been-said of thefr bringing. heavy artillery. - jans have recently come {0y Meanti; as the days have wragged on and ihe || fort holds outthe: egring e & ufiafifiwfi southern Afbania. to ‘the /e Adrianople fn Thrage to: the £ of. the Allies at Tchatalja/and poli, have left the Montenegrins and’ the de- fenders of Scutari alone embattled— the culmination of a marvellous six-|| month's slege and defence—in'a -death: grepple, with the honors of war thus ar equal.

Life or Death For King Nicholas. It is not a pleasant spectacle for lovers®of peace and concord: Scutarl and Montenegro writhing in a death struggle on the shores of one of the loveliest lakes in Europe, -while -only a score of miles away battleships of the Christian Powers—great for the moment only in name—are appearing to snatch from Montenegro the fruits of the impending victory. “These do- minions,” says King Nicholas, belong- ed to our ancestors but for three cent- uries they have been held by the Turks Scutarl was ours -and the Turks took it from us. My subjects must regain that fertile land if we are to go on living. It isa matter of life anld death for us. We mean to keep tHe lang- we have retaken during the war. We mean to take Scutari, ‘which is the key to that land; and jwe mean to keep, it The .attempt to. rob Montenegrol of Scutari;for the artificial vitality of a new-born State incapable of “maintaining itself Dby, its own strength.” is the indignant character- || ization appiied by the Foreign Office of Montenegro to the proposed robbery. And again, “To create Albania Mante- negro is strangled.” The Turk’s Remarkable Stand This is the attitude of the besiegers, And_how about :the besieged? These are Turks, brave and skilful ‘and at their best as soldiers behind. ramparts and barbed wire. To those of Scutari great praise must be given from the military standpoint, and the name of its commander., Hassan Riaz Pasha, will ‘be -placed on the, military roll of. honor beside those of the commanders of Janina and . Adrianople. Turkish officials are said to be as:bad as any in the world, lethargic, fond of graft, and with the Oriental love of winning through lies and craft. On' the other hand, if only the Turkish soldier could add to his dogged determination and his indifference to death, push and forethought, he would be the most formidable of soldiers. It ‘'was the lack of these latter qualities’ which caused the Turks to make so poor a Show- ing in the beginning of the war, while the former explain why it has been al- most impossible to dislodge them from Janina, Adrianople and Scutarl. He is consummate in all military plans which - require sitting still. Set him behing fortifications, and any army in the world will be hard put to it to ai lodge him,” says a wise Englishman. ® Our War With Spain But what of the interference of the Powers in this deadly combat? We know why Austria-Hungary:is. eager for the so-called. “autonomous Alban- ia” for she would find in such an ag- glomeration of half-civilized tribes an easy thoroughfare towards the.Aegean, and glde by side with Austria Hung- ary, Teutonic -Germany and Latin Ttaly think that they must stand against Russia and Pan-Slavism. But why 1s Great Britain also threatening these remote and barren shores and defending half-civilized Scutari and the unspeakable Turk against the hardy Christians of Montenegro? Sir Rdward Grey telly us that it is to avolg a general European war and re- minds us that the Turks too are fight- ing for their homes, their territory. But he omits to mention that this war was begun by the Allies solely to ex- pel from their nelghborhood the Tark, Wwhose rule and proximity had become intolerable. And very much as the United 'States went to war wth Spain because they could no longer tolerate its misrule in Cuba, 5o the Allies have sought to stop anarchy and atrocity in Albania, Macedonia and Thrace by arlving out the Turk. This Is not primarily a question of territory—it is a question of racial antipathy and of modern civilization sweeping aside misrule and savagery. CURIOUS BITS OF MISTORY. Pensions are not the only things commanded and forgotten. An In- quisitive member of the British house of commons was struck one day by the presence of a policeman in one of the lobbles. He wondered why this particular lobby should always have a guardian strolilng up and down and made inquiries. The records of the house were searched and it was found that fifty years previously, when ‘the lobby was being decorated, a police- man had been stationed there to keep members from soiling their clothes. The order never having been counter- manded, the constable had kept his beat for half a century. Dr. Nansen has good reasons to re- gard thirteen as a Iucky number. The crew of the Fram, in which he made the most successful of his expeditions, consisted of thirteen men, who all, af- ter an absence of three years, returned to their homes In perfect safety. Dr, Nansen arrived back in Norway on 13, 1896, and on the same day the m emerged from her long drift on the ice into open sea. Moreover, dur- ing the voyage, as the doctor récor: “Kirk presented ul with thirteen pups, a curious_coincidence—thirteen pups born on Dec. 18 1893, for thirteen men.” In a recent volume of reminiscences the writer states that baldness is much, more common now than in_his early days, and ascribes the modern man’s loss of hair to the decrease in the use of ‘bear's grease.” This pom- ade was made principally of lard_col- ored and scented, but ‘hairdredBers, many of whom called themselves ‘pro- fessors,’ used to advertise ‘the slaugh- ter of another fine bear, exhibiting a canvas screen depicting in glaring colors a brown animal of elaphantine proportions expiring in a sea of gore.” Supreme Confidence. “Mps. Grayson seems to have the utmost confidence tn her husband.” “I have often noticed it. I belleve ehe would even eat mushrooms thag he had picked.” The Fan's Idea. A baseball fan thinks one is an op- timist if one can cheerfully remember ‘when one goes to work that the world 1s another day nearer the beginning of the mew race for the pennant. e O Lo Good and Bad Critics.
