Land of the Shkypetars

DISPATCHES 'tell that the Albanians have joined forces with the soldiers of democfc racy. From the pan-Albanian Federation of America, Vatra, which has its fifcadquarters in Boston, comes word that the 70,000 Albanians in the United States have purchased nearly $1,000,000 worth of Liberty; bonds through the organization. The news indicates that a most ancient and hardy nation at last has made the proper choice, observes the New York* Sun.' Albania stretches along the eastern coast of .the Adriatic sea, opposite Italy, having Montenegro on the north, Serbia on the east and Greece on the south. Albania has a commanding place upon the landlocked sea, and her harbor at Avlona, one of ’the finest In the world, is considered by military critics an Adriatic Gibraltar. The country is a rugged, wild, heavily wooded mountain, complex, undeveloped and unpathed. Albania became nominally a province of Turkey in 1468 .and remained such until 1913, when thd London conference granted a national independence under a prince choses' by the great powers. The Albanians bitterly' complained at that time about the borders delimited f«sjthem on the grounds that many purely Albanian districts had been given to Montenegro, Greece and Serbia. Albania was in a sulky mood at the outbreak of the great war. However, its isolation was characteristic, for Albania has stood alone throughout its history. In this time of . flaming national prides the Albanian, or Shkypetar, deserves a fleeting notice. He has fought the longest and the hardest of all historic struggles for native land and independence, but wild, inhospitable and untutored in the uses of propaganda, his heroic story has attracted rare and scant attention. Unsupported by allies, sympathy, song or story, the Shkypetars, a “little nation,” with their backs to their barren crags, war for freedom vdlceless throughout the centuries. » 2,000-Years’ Struggle. Serbia’s or Montenegro’s endurance is pale compared to that which has preserved this remnant of a race against all comers through truceless ages. For more than 2,000 years the Albanians have stood their ground, yielding their patrimony foot by foot, but guarding the fragment of their native land so well that It today remains the least known region in Europe. They are the oldest race in Europe to survive upon the land where the morning light of history found it and this stubborn tenure of their fatherland has been possible only by a longer, braver and more indomitable struggle than that waged by any other Balkan people. The taciturn and dour Shkypetar, however, has fought silently, with morose and unbroken spirit and at lone venture. All other Balkan peoples haVe continuously clamored for the sympathy of the world.

Today, however, their hills, swallowed up in the overwhelming maelstrom of world war, their land crossed by the battle lines of great powers, they are living the last chapter of their troubled history. Whatever turn the great battle in the Balkans may take, it apparently can only mean that the time has come at last for Albanian submergence. Italians, Austrians and Serbians are contending bitterly for she last strip of the Shkypetar heritage, and it seems that the measure of their exlstepeqhas been reached. They will emerge fronkthis world shock Italians, Serbians dr-Austrlans, and the ancient * Illyrian will vanish into the llmbp of forgotten things. Fought Without Complaint. “There is no suth thing as Albanian nationality!” Bismarck roughly exclaimed at the congress of Berlin. More properly speaking there was no Albanian diplomatist, no Albanian spokesman. There was just a little nation to be dealt with according to. the irrefutable wisdom of power, just the remnants of an ancient race that has been forced ever farther into a fringe of unproductive mountains, The conflict sustained for more than

View of Avlona.

2,000 years against Greek and Slav and Turk and Frank, by this unconquerable race, has awakened no echo of understanding or applause abroad In the civilized world. Montenegro’s sturdy defiance of the Turk through five centuries; the courageous resistance of the Serbians; the stolid survival of the Bulgarian under centuries of merciless domination, and the revival of the Greeks, the nation of illustrious ancestry; all these have stirred the world. The wrongs and the hopes and the virtues of all other Balkan peoples'have been told in the press everywhere. The Shkypetar has continued his history into modern times of propaganda and press agencies practically voiceless. Overshadowed and overshouted by the peoples around him, he at best received flashes of consideration as a possible booty or as a racp- of guerrillas. Lord Byron gave the Shkypetar a momentary notice, a brief literary memorial, when he said that the wild Albanian had never shown an enemy his back or broken_his faith- to a guest. The Albanian has asked nothing of Europe, and Europe has given him nothing but a sad reputation, which, judged according to the greater enlightenment of our civilization, he undoubtedly has deserved. Neglected by Missionaries. But even the mission schools have passed him Uy and so he has had little opportunity to learn the advantage of the high moral codes and humanitarism which rule the destinies of civilization. Pillaged.and warred upon through the centuries, he has become habituated, to war and pillage. /

The Albanians are the remnants of the original inhabitants of Illyria, Epirus, Macedonia and Thrace. Overwhelming waves.of Celts, Goths, Romans, Greeks, Serbs, Bulgars, Franks and Turks have flooded against them, but the. Shkypetars have always survived the shock; have survived, the burning of their villages, the wasting of their lands, the massacres of their people, and have somehow emerged unbroken, unassimilated upon the stage of the twentieth century. They have borne the assault of Slavonic storm almost since the Euro pean debut of the Slavs. Between the Slavs and the Illyrians there have been centuries of blood feud. The Slav has called the Albanian a brigand and plunderer, and the world has accepted the verdict, while the Slav and the Turk have steadily encroached upon the Shkypetars* homeland. Until the wild torrents of this world war swept over his country the Albanian had managed to maintain the freedom of his hills. ;; Single Handed for Independence, Though occasionally beaten and forced into narrower limits, he has obstinately refused submission, has opposed a rugged, uncomplaining, unconquerable spirit to all grievous misfortune ; and alone, without the sympathy of anyone, illiterate, poor in country, his few remaining rocks coveted b/ 9 every neighbor, with no ally or disinterested counsellor, at the outbreak of the world war the Shkypetar stood at the end of a splendid fight of more than 2,000 years’ duration, in which the armistices have been few and short. And their claims are the best in Europe to the lands they occupy. There can be no doubt of the legitimacy of their tenure. When the Slavs first, appeared in the Balkans in the beginning of the sixth century the Shkypetars had already enjoyed 1,100 years’ possession. True, the Albanian has not been a friend to the stranger nor has he been a seeker after the stranger’s light, but then almost the whole story of his contact with higher civilization has been in battle for his hearth and .home against aggression. Rome policed the shores of the Albanians’ country, but left the unbreakable people largely to themselves. The Slavs drove them from many of their lands, but could not crush or sutgine them. For more than 1,000 yean the Shkypetars have contested their ground foot for foot against the Slav and Turk. Montenegro struggled against the Turk a bare five centuries. v ' • \ \-- * -

SPANISH INFLUENZA-WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED

Nothing New —Simply the Old Grip or La Grippe That Waa Epidemic in 1889-90, Only Then It Came From Russia by Way of France and This Time by Way of Spain

Go to Bod and Stay Quist Take a Laxative—Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food—Keep Up your Strength Nature Is the Only “Cure” ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which appeared In Spain in May, has all the appearances of grip, or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C., which Is regarded by many to have been Influenza. Every century has had Its attacks. Beginning with 1831 this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic—influenza itself has a very low percentage of fatalities —not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N. C. board of health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run-down condition—-those who don’t go to bed soon enough or those who get up too early. THE BYMPTOMB Grip, or Influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness, and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane or lining of the air passages, nose, throat and. bronchial tubes; there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes a sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. . THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others —take n purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover’s ’Powders, etc., may be administered by the physician’s directions to relieve the nchlng. But there is no cure or specific for' influenza —the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack If only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes, inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons it is very important thgt the patient remain In bed until his strength returns —stay In bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or If you are over 50 or not strong stay In bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing easier, Vick’s Vapoßub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vapoßub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients In the form of vapors. These vapors. Inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time Vapoßub la absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having colds —which means avoiding crowds —common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise In the open air, and good food. Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritate the lining of the aif passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Use Vick's Vapoßub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little Vapoßub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub In a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, pht in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. Note—Vick’s Vapoßub is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form. Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, *>ibebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these Ingredients are liberated In the fortn of vapors. Vapoßub is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western states where it is just now being introduced, but In other sections of the country it Is the standard home remedy in more than a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. Vapoßub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. It is particularly recommended for children’s croup and colds, since It is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects. • ■ -- ■
