C,) The recent occupation of the Island of Corfu by Italy was on the faco of It the tuking by force of Greek terri tory by an alien nation ; but the Inland ban been cuffed about and batted hack and forth so continually throng'" the centuries that half a dozen nations, Including Italy, might lay claim to It on the plea of former ownership. Corfu Is one of the parts o^ the lock that secures the Adriatic sea at Its narrow neck from the Ionian aea and the open waters of the Mediterranean. It lies like a watch-tower in the Ionian sea before the narrowing entrance of the Strait of Otranto. To the north of It a rugged finger of Albanian mountain-lnnd reaches out Into the strait, and. bending back, forms the splendid naval harbor of Avlona, one of the golden hopes of Austrian and Italian ambitions. To the northwest of Corfu, the iong Italian heel cuts out into the waters of the Ionian sea. Together, these three elements domi nate the Adriatic's outlet. C"rfi: is "ohapeu .somewhat HKe a sickle or a rough crescent, the points or horns of which are toward the Greek mainland. The northern point lacks only two miles of meeting the mainland, but the southern point Is some ten miles offshore. The bulge of water which Corfu and the mainland almost make into a lake forms a won derful land locked roadstead which has played Its part in naval affairs for two millenniums. The town and harbor of Corfu are on the east side of the Island on the shore of this roadstead across which some twelve or fifteen miles away rises the rough shore of Kplrus. In the harbor Is the little bristling Isle '?f Vido, which has often boon heavily fortified by Its various owners. Homer Told Its Beauties. Bathed in Mediterranean sunshine, with a rather dry climate for a con siderable period of the year, the Island of Corfu has always been considered h pleasure spot; and It failed to lose this reputation even when the silting^ up of a number of arms of the sea and the formation of stagnant lakes brought malaria to some of the low lands. Homer describes the island as a sort of paradise in the dim days of Greek beginnings. He makes it out an Idyl lic lotus-land of beautiful people and beautiful scenery with an abundance of figs and grapes and other fruits. The island first emerges in history as the site of Coreyra, a city founded only a few miles from the present town of Corfu by colonists from Cor inth. .The date of Corc.vra's birtli Is set at wM 11.. C. ? twenty six centuries ago. The colony- grew rapidly in wealth, In maritime power, and Into a confident spirit of independence. Cor cyra's fleet, protected in its wonderful roadstead, grew strong, and in <504 H.iC. fought with Its mother-city, Cor inth, the first recorded Greek naval battle. Corinth won ; hut before long Coreyra was again independent. When a second dispute arose with fori nth. Coreyra allied Itself with Athens, much a - our . "it'ii ai forefathers al lied tbemsel\e> with England's great rival.

Corfu's laost Important middle Pe riod beftnn In 1380, when It placed ituelf voluntarily under Venetian pro tection. In 1401 Venice assumed com plete control and for 400 years held the island. It was during this period that the Island took its modern name. It was a veritable stronghold against the Turk when Ottoman heels were on all of mainland Greece and practically all her Islands. Time after time the Turks tried to selae Corfu, but the Venetians always managed to drUe them back. It took the great political cataclysm I that Napoleon brought about to shake Venice's hold from Corfu. When Bo naparte handed Venice to Austria in 1797 he kept Corfu for France. It was occupied by the French for only two years, however. Then a combined force of Russians and Turks captured the Island, and combining It with the six other Ionian islands, set up the Federation of the Seven Isles under Turkish sovereignty. The short pe riod from 1700 to 1808 was the only nn# during which the Turks hv-hl cVcu nominal control over this island that had so long defied them and which they so long had coveted. In 1807 the French again came Into possession of Corfu, but they were ousted at the "European clearing house" of 1815. Then Corfu added another erratic chapter to Its check ered career and became with the other Ionian isles a protectorate of Great Britain. In 1804 Corfu once more found herself a part of Greece when Great Britain ceded the Ionian Isles to that kingdom. Corfu does not show the marks of its many masters as plainly as might be expected. Only the scantiest of relics of ancient Corcyra and the Greek classic age are found, and there is hardly a trace of Roman works. A few hiiiidings show British Influence, a few military works the hand of France. I'robably the deepest Impress was made by Venice. Not only in the town of Corfu, but throughout the Island as well, are numerous monas teries and oilier buildings showing an unmistakable Venetian cast. Population Is Mixed. The people show more plainly the effects of the many cross-currents of authority that have tlowed over the Island. In Corfu city, for example, a considerable fraction of the popula tion is made up of Jews; something like a third are of mixed Greek and Venetian blood ; and the rest are a mixture of all the strains of the many peopled shores of the Mediterranean ? Greek, Italian. Turk, Albanian, Mal tese, Dalmatian and many others. The town of Corfu, like many other communities t hit t have survived from the Middle ages, lias in its lower part a labyrinth of narrow streets, many of them too steep and rough and eon-, str'cted to permit the use of wheeled vehicles. The hand of Italy appears again In the many arcades, and the East shows us influence in the dark recesses and crowded bazaars, on a higher level the city is built on a more open plan with better and more siirhtlv bnililin<_'v. The town Is picturesque if some what dirty. But the real charn of Corfu is in the open and higher coun try. Passably good roads skirt the se;i clif!*- and peiiei r.i I e (lie hills from ; both of which l her.* are entrancing views of sea ;iml sky and mountain, olive and c\ press-ciad hills and ??ultl i vnted lowland* < >n one of the hills is the .\< !ii!lcj..n, the palace-villa hullt for the iinh?ipp\ Kinpre-x Klizahclh of Austria and purchased for a w nter borne by the former (iermaii emperor in i:*>7.
