Fought for Centuries Against Both Turk and Christian to Gain Mar Independence. ^ ffevtarl, Albania.--With the wtthdrawul of Italiau troops from Avlona atid the cassation of hostile Invasions by the Serbs und Montenegrins, Albania is free of foreign occupation for the first time in her turbulent history, Albanians feel that they have at last readied the goal of their national independence. Their undying love of liberty, which has persisted through All their centuries of struggle against Turk and Christian, Is particularly quick and hopeful today. The people hope that the great powers will proact them from future designs on the port of selfish foreign countries. ' perhaps never before was there lwy • - ;v? such a state of tranquillity within the borders of the little Albanian state. In tlie streets of Scutari one sees the Albanian colors displayed for the first time, and listens to patriotic demonstrations by local groups of dtixens and societies. Enthusiasm and patriotic Yervor are at a high pitch. Even the native tribes, who usually are engaged in factional combat among themselves. are living In a state of peace. This peace is bared upon nothing more than a word of honor given with the approval of the people between two or more chiefs. The Albanian's word, which lie calls "hessa," is absolutely binding. It Is customary for families within a tribe, for tribes and for large groups ot, tribes, to arrange between themselves a "bessa"--that la, an agreeuieat by which all matters of personal vengeance are - suspended for < a given length of time. Except In a few communities In the south, the Albanians live In tribal organizations. where each man defends his home and his rights with his rifle, which be never lays down when out of floors. They are governed by a sort of common law, which is known as the law of Lek.
