Albania Past and Present #225654

Unknown Albania, Darker than dark Africa here are only a few whimsical names that are given to the country which is inhabited by the oldest people in Southeastern Europe. It was only some time ago that a well — meaning editor of a leading newspaper of New York crowned with the additional heading The Riddle of Al bania' the caption of an article on that country writ ten by the author. On another and more interesting occasion, a letter addressed to the British Consulate of Scutari, the principal city of Northern Albania, was shipped across the ocean to Albany, N. Y.; the humorous postmaster of the latter city returned it with the note Try Europe.
