Bullet Still Chief Resort of Albanians Elevation of Present Premier Due to Force of Arms—Shot Prede cessor Down. Sofia, .Tune 21.—Despite the fact that Albania has made marked strides during recent years In matters of self government, the bullet Is still a more effective political weapon than the ballot, as the recent waylaying and killing of two .American tourists amply demonstrated. It is to the bullet that Shefket Verlatchl, the present prime minister of Albania, owes his elevation to of fice. Before Shefket Verlatchl, the prime minister was Ahmed Bey Zogu. Shef l.et Verlatchl was leader of a vigorous opposition, and pressure was con slantly brought to bear upon Zogu to resign. Zogu, however, refused to quit his Job until Verlatchl resorted to the methods in vogue in the days when Albania was the paradise of bandits and shot Zogu through the leg. While. Zogu was in bed. nursing his wound, Verlatchl seized the reins of government and became premier. This episode In Albanian politics is reminiscent of the country of which Byron, the English poet, wrote: "Land of Albania, let me bend mine eyes On thee, thou rugged nurse of sav age men!’’ Likewise It probably would have de lighted the revolutionary heart of I Byron, who was the first European | to risk his life In wild Albania 115, years ago. Albania then was ruled by All Pasha, the greatest bandit j chief of his time, who Byron said, "with bloody hands swayed a nation j turhulent and bold.” Albania was an enchanted land »• Byron, and he gave that country credit for Inspiring his masterpiece. "Chllde Harold.” The wild scenery and chivalrous folk of Albania. Byron said. Inspired him to resume his writ ing, which he had definitely fore ! sworn. The poem was begun while Byron was in Albania in the fall of 1S09. Because of the tribute paid to A1 banla in his poetry, Albanians are planning to observe with proper cere mony the centenary of his death on April 19. Byron died April 19. 1824. at MissolonghI, a small village In Greece, and Greece also Is preparing i to pay tribute to his memory on the 100th anniversary of his death. While Albania Is not able to stage so elab orate a celebration aa Is planned by Greece, Albanians are planning cere monies that will show their sincere and heartfelt veneration for the Eng lish poet. In Byron'* time It wss eharaeter forgot a friend. Byron wrote of his fascination for the honesty and prob ity of the Albanians. The people of the country have not. greatly changed since Byron's time. They are still the most chivalrous, most hospitable and bravest of the Balkan races. The old, bloody feuds among them still con tinue, but Albania nevertheless is to day the safest country In southeast ern Europe. It is the only country where woman la respected and pro tected In a manner worthy of the feudal knight. In time of war the Albanian Is one warrior who consid ers it beneath his dignity to hurt in offensive women, children or old men. /-— Nebraska News Nubbins VJ Stella—Rev. A. R.
