ay mention that he employs a reviewer who,
referring to the map in my book, _A Difficult Frontier_
(Yugoslavs and Albanians)--a map which is most conspicuously
printed opposite the title-page--observes that it "is hidden in
one unostentatious page, which at first sight escapes the
reader's attention altogether."]

[Footnote 101: In the _Samouprava_ of November 12 the whole
case was discussed with his usual lucidity by Dr. Lazar
Markovi['c], one of the ablest and most philosophic men in
Yugoslavia. This ex-Professor of Law is now the Minister of
Justice, and it is to be hoped that he will eventually succeed
in the place of Pa[vs]i['c].]

[Footnote 102: Those who like to hold the Serbs up to contumely
have not a very strong case when they denounce them for now
being on friendly terms with the Christian Mirditi, whereas
they used to be the friends of Essad Pasha; this personage was
at that time the man whose national Albanian policy had the
greatest chance of success. He was the one man who then
appeared capable of establishing a State in which Christians
and Moslems would be fairly represented. But now too many of
the Moslem--and not only they--have adopted an Italophil
attitude which is sadly anti-national.]

[Footnote 103: A later phase was for the Government to
recognize that what Albania must have is the friendship of
Yugoslavia, so that the eyes of the most powerful Ministers
were turned from Rome to Belgrade. Thereupon the Italians, loth
to lose their footing in the country, gave their patronage to
the anti-Governmental parties. It was pleasant to hear in the
summer of 1922 that when the boundary commissioners had left a
lamentable neutral zone between the two countries the Albanian
Government suggested to the very willing Government of
Yugoslavia that they should co-operate in cleansing that zone
of its brigand population.]

[Footnote 105: According to the Geographical-Statistical Atlas
recently published by the German Professor Hickmann the average
loss among the belligerent countries, in killed, wounded and
through diminution of the birth-rate, was 6.5 per cent. At one
end of the list of suffering nations is the United States with
a percentage of 0.4, Great Britain with 3.7, and Belgium with
4.7. Roumania, Italy,
