Italy Controls Part Albania "1
Belgrade, Jugoslavia, July 16.?
Italians continue to contral a part of
'l7 Albania commercially, and the last
word has not been heard from either
Italy' or Jugoslavia on the subject of ?'
Albania; this is the opinion of Americans
here familiar with conditions
in Albania. ^
Political significance is attached to
the fact that General Ali Risa Coloni, f
, ... _ - In
in company with some dozen other
Albanians, attended the recent wedding
of King Alexander and showed
himself friendly to the Sorbs. During
his visit Coloni concluded a commercial
agreement with Jugoslavia; w
he said also t^iat he would return
here as Chief of Legation, representing
the Albanian government of Tirana.
?]
Those watching the Albanjan situation
insist there is a struggle go- .
ing on between Italy and Jugoslavia w
to control Albania, with the Italians -n
still unwilling to abandon their old
hopes of commercially improving the
country. Itafian^, among other ^
things, are interested in securing
water-power concessions near Tirana
and drawing off the electric current g*
to-Italy by a submarine cable. French
and English capital is said to be in- .
terested -with Italian money in this
project. m
The League of Nations is interested
in the development of Albania. At ^
the request of the Albanian govern- p{
ment the Council of the League at
its last session decided upon a vir- jj
tual protectorate for Albania, fin- j
ancial, economic and constitutional, m
with legal experts to be appointed
^ by the League to advise Albania as jj
flp to the best means of establishing her- a)
self on an independent basis. c>
A league advisor "wil lalso sit with
the Albanian government council. It
is thought that the League's appointees
will include both an Italian flj
and a Jugoslavian. fr
Policeman Censured ^
For Clubbing Prisoner bt
*/ fo
London, July 17.?A London police ^
court judge rebuked a policeman the 0
other day for clubbing a prisoner over
the head before arresting him. He
did not censure the policeman for cc.
striking the man with his club, as he nl
was violent, but for striking him m
over the head with it. He said the .
policeman should have hit him over ln
the legs or on some other portion of ^
his anatomy.
Hie incident serves to illustrate a ie
striking difference between the com- TE
parative freedom allowed the police
in America in using force in subduing
an obstreporous prisoner annd
the restrictions that are sought to be ^
imposed upon them here under simi- ^
lar circumstances. And some other ^
differences, too. v' - . ^
man who was clubbed, was
hailed before the police court judge ^
on the charge of assaulting a police- ^
man who was trying to get a drunk- ^
en woman to a police station.
The policeman said he was surrounded
by a hostile crowd of about
200. Whitehead?the man who was **
clubbed?struck him on the face and
body. In the struggle both fell to
the ground and someone then kicked p(
the policeman in the ribs.. The po- er
liceman drew his club and hit White- vc
head, who was still showing fight ra
"just where I could reach him easi- jj,
est." of
In many of London's mean streets Wl
a hostile crowd baiting a policeman fc
is as common a sight as in the Unit- m
ed States it is a rare one. ot
Here the policeman carries n jy
"truncheon" which is by no means '
such a formidable weapon as the Am- er
erican policeman's club. And if he Ai
hits a violent prisoner over the head
with it when he ought to have hit th
him somewhere else, he is apt to get cti
into trouble. Only when he is on a at
very dangerous "beat" does he carry th
4. a revolver. The rough who assaults Ui
him ordinarily runs no risk what- at
ever of getting shot and very little st
of getting badly hurt. Therefore he th
is not afraid of a "scrap" with a po- d<
liceman, especially when drunk. V,
There is a strong feeling here $1
against arming the police and it must V
be assumed that those who have au- si
thority over them know their own
business best and what is best for tr
the protection of the police. bi

Selling Japan Her s<
Paintings and Curios ti
"1
Tokio, July 16.?Japanese mer- it
chants who made large fortunes dur- K1
ing the war and built themselves fine ty
homes in the cities of Japan are send- 6<
ing to America and Europe for Japan- U1
ese prints, paintings and curios to c<

dealer at least has sold numerous arti- P
cles which he picked up in Japan w
years ago for a song and. which he 81
was unable to sell in America to these ti
new merchant princes at very profit- ^
able prices, or many years American fcl
and European collectors searched Ja- 11
pan successfully for objects of art
until nearly all the old works, with
the exceptionof those in private collections
and museums had been exported.
Now the Japanese being urn- Ji
able to find what they want in this p<
line at home are sending abroad for ol
them. Of course they want the real L
articles and generally something to je
match pieces which they already have, hi
Articles for the tea service such as gi

"Other entrants probably will flj

icording to Mr. Schechter, and foi

"The name 'B. V. t>\' is a registeret

Britain in Dire Peril
t
London, July 15^?Britain is declared
again to be in dire peril. She
* i? described as in a dangerous state
of unpreparedness against air attack.
Experts contend that * London
could be laid ia ruins from the air
* within 24 hourti. Many facts and
figures are given by various newsT
papers to prove it.
Britons, the Londoners especially,
' are told they should be so badly
scared they wouldn't sleep soundly in
their beds again until something was
j done to set matters right. But the
stolid Britisher refuses to be scared
j for anybody or anything. He rejoices
that it has temporarily stopped raining
and that the last two days of the
Ascot racing were gloriously fine.
' But there may be serious trouble
k brewing for the government over the
' state of the country's air defenses.
r Major-General Seely started the
trouble?as trouble is often started
j hero?by asking a question in Parlia}
ment as to how the country was fixed
r for airplanes in case of war.
r The reply of Captain Guest, the
f Air Minister, was not exactly calcuI
lated to make nervous people feel
; comfortable. He said that while the
country in 1920 had 186 civil airr
planes fit for war, it now had only
^ 83 and these were of 28 different
, types. This year there are only 18
machines actually flying in regular
service.
The Air League of the British Em
pire, which aims to do for the the 4
, Air Force what the Navy League 4
, does for the Navy, saw in the turn
affairs had taken a chance to do some
. effective propaganda work, and issued 4
; a statement of which this is the gist. <
} The total strength of the Royal Air 4
. Force in these islands is 12 squad- i
rons, of which a percentage are skele- 4
, ton formations.
? No provision has been made to en>
sure that civil miachines and per- 4
. sonnel shal take part inthe aerial i
5 defense fo the country in case of war. 4
I France has at present 126 squadrons <
? of airplanes and will have 220 squad5
rons by the end of this year,
j Behind this force she has at present 4
1 several hundred civil machines ear- *
i marked for use in case, of war. <
The French aircraft industry is 4
. turning out 150 machines per month. 4
I No Proof that Prohibition 4
Haslncreased Addict* 4
1 ?
! It is two years since nation-wide ?
I prohibition went into effect. In those 4
t two years the statement Tias frequent- 4
! ly been made that prohibition is, in
part, responsible for the spread of
drug addiction. The New York Her- 4
aid has not found proof to support ?
I this contention. The data gathered 4
1 has shown rather that there is no real 4
1 connection between alcoholic addiction ^
= and drug addiction.
I Some held the opinion, however, 4
that, deprived of drink, men have ?
I turned to something else that, in their 4
estimation, may give them a similar 4
result. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health ^
commissioner of New York, holds this
opinion, to a degree at least, for he 4
says:
"I think there has been more opium
" addiction since the passage of the pro.
' hibition act. Some alcoholic addicts
" are now undoubtedly opium addicts."
In Washington Federal enforcement
1 officers, who naturally know some.
1 thing of the situation, assert that
' there has not been a marked increase
L in drug addiction since prohibition,
1 but that the liquor prohibition law
^ has served to emphasize the evidence
of the use of drugs.
On the other hand, a high official in
' the Department of Justice said to the
? representative of The New York Herr
aid:
"That the increase in the use of
" drugs is due to the liquor prohibition
? law connot be proved. There is not
r the slightest bit of evidence to supk
port that theory."?From New York
Herald.

t American Widow of
' Duke of Oporto
1 Lisbon, July 17.?The American
* widow of the Duke of Oporto is still
i in Lisbon continuing her efforts to
obtain possession of furniture and
* ther property which belonged to her
9 husband. She has become a well'
known figure in the waiting rooms
of the various ministries. She has
now gone into the Portuguese courts
to prove fully and legally that she
is the only lawful heir "to all the
movable goods of his late royal highness,
Prince Alfonso de Braganza,
Duke of Oporto, brother to the late
Kino* farloR "
The Duchess of Oporto was prominent
in New York society as Mrs.
1 Philip Van Valkenburg. Before her
s several marriages she was Miss
Nevada Hayes. She is a woman of
8 wealth and was married to the Duke
J in 1917.
' The difficulties of the Duchess today
arise from the fact that it is
contended in Lisbon that the Duke
left many of his personal belongings
to Portugal, and that a number of
these artistic and valuable posies?
stems already have been removed to
1 various museums. The Duchess has
1 called as witnesses, according to lop
eel newspapers, the President of Por"
tugal, the Premier of the Aepublic,
> tne Portuguese minister to Spain at ^
" the time of her civil marriage to the
" Duke, and other persons of prom1
inence. *
