They had been in a state of subjection to the Turkish Empire for five centuries prior to tin World War and were denied all of the advancement' which these countrie have brought to so much of the world. They were not even permitted to teach their own language. Now that they have been granted their independence, they Sl’PT. are eager for learning. At the -igning of the treaty of Versailles, the European governments were bent upon dividing up this little country which lies at the mouth of the Adriatic, but President Wilson listened to the petition sent him
