(By the International News RrTtc.)
London, July 22. Ten thousand Al
banians, driven .from their homes by
Turkish troops, are starving to death In
the caves of Montenegro. Conditions
fcave become so serious that there is an
active possibility of Intervention by the
powers. In fact' diplomatic discussions
looking to the likelihood of such Inter
vention h&v already taken place. This
Is the Important Information I received
today from two men In as close touch
with" the whole Balkan situation as any
fftvo man in Europe.
The assassination of Zeki Bey In Con
artaotmople, the revolt in southern Al
ban la. which hitherto has remained
loyal, or at least quiet, and the re
ported1 action of Russia in not notifying
Montenegro she must cease In giving
auccor to Albanian refugees are all
signs of the approach of a crisis that
at any moment may precipitate inter
vention. All the news that has been allowed
to come through from Constantinople
Indicates that Zekl Bey's murder can
properly be placed at the door of the
xnyatlo secret Salonika committee,
'''which engineered the revolution that
placed the Young Turks in power and
at 'whose behest Torghut Shevket has
been executing in Albania this insur
gent movement
Inside the committee Zekl had an
nounced his Intention of making his
Journal, "The Hemreh," the organ of
the committee among the Insurgents.
That the uprising in southern Al
bania Is more serious than the Turkish
officials admit is shown by the fact
that the people of Argyalo Kastro nave
made the local governor a prisoner,
rifled the government's safes and de
clared their Independence. Disquiet
prevails as far as the Greek frontier.
Dispatches from Constantinople report
that the Albanians persist in their 12
demands presented through the Turk
ish minister, chief among which are
those to write and speak their own
language and devote the Income of
taxes to local defenses.
It has always been a penal offense to
reduce the Albanian language to writ
ing, the Turkish policy being to keep
them In subjection through Ignorance,
The Albanians therefore are really
fighting now for the right to- become
civilized.
United States Kay Interfere. ,
That the .United States may have a
hand in Intervention when It onmes Is
the belief of Noel Buxton, member of
parliament and chairman of the Balkan
committee. He said today when Inter
viewed in the house of commons:
"I have always regretted that the
American government never saw its
way clear to Join with the powers in
the Macedonian intervention. The rea
son than given was that the United
States was not a party to the Berlin
treaty Since then Americans 'have
taken an important part In affairs near
est there. There are practically few
sources of information other than na
tive except American. educational
work in the Balkans Is almost entirely
American. It is a common saying that
the Bulgarian nation was educated at
Robert college, Constantinople, an
American Institution. When the ques
tion of relief work has been Involved,
although, the money came mainly from
England. It has been chiefly distributed,
by Americana through the schools and
missions. Only lately the Balkan com
mittee collected funds In order to as
sist the educational propaganda among
all the people of the Balkans, not only
Christians but Turkish. The position
held by the Americans there was so
strong that this money has been dis
tributed by American hands.
"We hops that the recent establish
ment of an American embassy at Con
stantinople marks the Intention of the
American government to take an active
part there In conjunction with the other
great powers."
"Is there a probability of the powers
taking an active part?" I asked. Mr.
Buxton replied slowly and guardedly,
weighing each word:
"It was hoped three years ago that
the Tbung Turkish party would bo far
ucceed that intervention would be aj

Paris, July 22. The prevalence of di

both severe and unpleasant, was brought
about. It is believed, by the recent en

Postley and Mrs. John Sayre Martin,
of New York, within a few hours of the
reception of her divorce decree.
Mrs. Martin was Miss Jeanne Buck

boss of San Franolsco. She made the
acquaintance of Stirling Postley last
year while nursing her father, who died
here at the Hotel Celtic.
Postley, foreseeing his own divorce,

the result that he won her heart and

that recently It has become a subject
of discussion among the powers. It
was not thought the Alhsnlans wmilH
make so serious a resistance, but they
have shown that they can produce a
crisis which endangers International
peace and this Is the only motive which
does actually drive the powers to Inter

OF
(Br International News SerTiee. )
St. Petersburg, July 22. Unenviable
notoriety is being achieved by the Rus
sian guard ship Balkan, on the Arch
angel coast. One of her midshipmen
went ashore the other day at Yolong
with a couple of sailors on a shopping
expedition and behaved like a mad man.
After being hospitably entertained by a
local boat owner, he had the village
elder summoned before him, and
knocked him down with the butt end of
his revolver when the elder indignantly
rejected certain dishonorable sugges
tions that he had made to him. When
the elder came to his senses and en
deavored to escape, the midshipman
fired at him with his revolver, and shot
dead a Laplander and his 6-year-old
daughter.
When the Balkan arrived at Arch
angel, quantities of fittings and tech
nical implements were stolen from her
and disposed of In the town. It Is be
lieved he goods were removed In broad
daylight, with the connivance of some
of the Balkan's complement.

(Br the International Jiewa Service. )
Berlin,, July 22. Naturally the Mo
roccan question Is overshadowing every
thing else In the field of European poli
tics, not alone because It cropped up
very suddenly, but because of the shock
caused by the dispatch of a German
warship to the Moroccan port of Agadlr,
The history of Moroccan troubles Is
as old as Morocco itself. 8enor Maura,
son of the late Spanish prime minister,
after several years' close study of the
country, declared in a book published
in 1908 that the Moor would never be
conquered, and his prophecy has been
completely Justified by events.
It was not till 1905 that Germany dis
covered that she had great Interests In
Morocco, Just as she afterwards tfied to
discover she had great Interests in
Persia.
Great Britain and France had patched
up their differences In regard to the
Sudan and Egypt, and France was given
a free hand in Morocco. The kaiser
then made his appearance in shining
armor at Tangier and assured the
Moors of his protection.
The Act of AJgeclras.
France climbed down, and the Alge
clras conference followed in 1906. By
the act of Algeclras the great powers
of Kurope. with the addition of the
United States, delegated France and
Spain the right of policing certain set
tlements in Morocco.
For the first time. In the following
year. In 1907, a French expedition had
to exercise this right: Borne French
men had been murdered near Casa
blanca, and an avenging party was
sent. Their advent was the signal for
a general rebellion against the Sultan
Abd-el-Azla, who was eventually de
posed. His brother, Mulai-Hafld, was in
stalled in his place, but the blood of the
prophet is apparently not sufficient to
qualify a man to become a wise ruler,
and It is really a rebellion against
Mulal-Hafld's extortions which his led
to the present campaign.
It must also be mentioned that in
1910 Germany came to terms with
France, whose "special interest" In Mo
rocco she recognized, provided France,
safeguarded equally the commercial In
terests of all nations. Spain and France
has also, la 1904, entered Into a secret
agreement which Is believed to provide
for the eventual partition of Morocco.
To understand the French action, It
Is necessary to bear in mind that she
Is the nominal mistress of all territory
both to the east and to the south of
Morocco. Not only would an extension
of her dominions be a valuable political
asset much of a white elephant as it
must be In practice but it would en
able her to construct a railroad from
Algeria to the west coast of Africa, via
Tlmbuctoo.
By this means she could easily bring
Into Europe, by way of the Franco-
Britlsh closed sea, the Mediterranean,
the black army with which she Intends
to reinforce her own troops in the
mother couny-y, to make up for the
dwindling recruiting due to the falling
birth rate.
In February this year a fresh native
revolt took place. The French instruc
tors who had been lent to the sultan to
train his troops were said to be In
danger, as well as the European rest
dents In Fez, the capital. France then
sent an expedition which entered Fei
on May 21.
Before the expedition reached the
Moorish capital It was declared that it
would only just enter the city and take
away Europeans to escort them to the
coast.
The French troops are still therf.
however, and they have extended their
action to many other districts, bolster
ing up the sultan's falling authority,
"punishing" his enemies, and receiving
the submission of the rebellious tribes.

(By tbe International Newa Serf Ice.)
Rome, July 22. Owing to his various
misdemeanors and wild pranks, the
young Count of Saleml has evoked the
Ire of his. cousin. King Victor Emman

months' voyage from Genoa nboard a

The young count, who earned the
sobriquet of "the scapegoat of tho
Savoy family," is the son of Princess
Letltla of Savoy and grandson of the
late Princess Clotilde. Recently the
count was sent to the naval academy at
Leghorn, but was dismissed becouse of
his Incorrigible conduct and persistent
attentions toward the young ladies of
the town.
Princess Clotilde and Princess Letltla,
dismissed owing to the harsh sentences
lmsed upon the young count, wrote
to Queen Helena, asking her to Intercede
with the king, but his majesty, who re

Paris, July 22. This Is the original
"gold brick" village. "Confidence"
stunts are pulled off dally. Here Is
tho trick of a "countess" who film
flammed a foxy Jeweler out of a f 10,000
pearl necklace.
A smartly dressed woman sent her
card In to a celebrated specialist in the
Champs Ely sees quarter. . The card,
beautifully engraved, bore a crest and
read: "Countess So-and-8o," the 8o-and-So
part being the name of a well
known society woman.
"My son," she said, after being ush
ered into tre elegant private study of
the specialist, "is on the verge of losing
his mind. He Is continually talking of
pearls and necklaces. He Is always
speaking of buying expensive Jewelry
or of selling such objects to his friends.
What shu 11 I do?"
The scientist reassured the anxious
mother and told her to fetch the boy
the next dny.
"Thank vou so much:" she replied
warmly, visibly encouraged.
The next afternoon she drove In a
fine new auto to the shop of a Rue de la
Palx Jeweler. There she selected a
$10,000 necklace, after looking over the
stock. When she went to pay for It
she found she had only $4000 in her
purse.
"How annoying!" she pouted. "Have
you anyone you could send with me to
my home? My husband will give you
tne $10,000 there."
A young clerk was of course sent
out with the Countess 8o-and-8o, of
whom the Jeweler- had often read In
the society columns. The new auto was
soon In front of the specialist's hand
some home. In a Jiffy the "countess"
and the clerk were admitted hy a lackey
in uniform and a minute later saw them
In the doctor's private study.
"You can attend to the matter alone!"
the "countess" said to the specialist,
and quietly left the room.
"Well, my young man," he began. In
his best professional tone; "you know
what It's about, I suppose? Has It been
troubling you any today?"
"No, nothing troubles me, lr," the
clerk replied calmly. "All I want is to
be paid."
Aha! So this thing was always on
the boy's mind, eh? It promised to be
interesting. The alienist settled himself
comfortably In his chair.
"&o you want to be paid? What for?"
"Why, for that pearl necklace, of
eourse."
"And hotf much do you think I owe
you?
"Just $10,000. exaotly.-
"Ah. I see the thing Is still troubling
you. you must not worry about -these
things. There Is really nothing in It
all. Tou haven't sold me a necklace.
Don't you know that?"
"Sure I know that!" piped the clerk.
He thought he was being kidded. "We
didn't sell It to you; your wife bought
it."
"My boy, I haven't got a wife." The
doctor could not help smiling. This
truly was an Interesting case.
And so It went. It was regular vaude
ville farce. The more the doctor tried
to reason with the young "demented"
one, the more wildly the youth became
excited. He talked of being swindled
and wanted to break down the doors,
and finally, believing himself to be
dealing with a violent madman Instead
of a "harmless," the doctor sent for the
police.
With the assistance of the police, the
clerk was calmed down. He told his
story, and when the Jewelry establish
ment was phoned to, It was corroborat-

The woman waits to say this until a
waiter Is near. She Is permitted to go
out without question or suspicion. But
when, after an hour Is gone and the
child still waits, the restaurant people
grow uneasy.
"Isn't your mamma coming back?"
the waiter asks cautiously.
"Oh. .she isn't my mamma," the child
replies.

Archduke Charles Is a son of the late

Charles Louis, brother of the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria and of the
Emperor Maxlmillian of Mexico. The
Princess Zlta, his fiance, belongs to the

point is that the morganatic wife of

there should be rivalry between the two
