MOBILIZATION IN ALBANIA ORDERED LONDON, Dec. 18.—The Albanian legation here announced this evening that the Albanian government had decreed a general mobilization to cope with the Serbian invasion. The legislation's communique conformed to the Albanians' policy of refusing to recognize the fighting as internal rebellion, maintaining that it was a move fostered by the Serbs. "The invading bands," it continued, "captured only Turks and Bileag." Jugo-Slav bands continue their incursions, Serbian regulars allying them. Despite a heavy bombardment of the Dipra frontier by the Serbs, the situation favors the Albanian troops." Following receipt of news here that Italy had sent two naval units into Albanian waters, an announcement this evening in commons by Austen Chamberlain, indicated that Britain, too, regards the troubles along the Adriatic with apprehension.

Both President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes are of course opposed to the resolution sponsored in the house by Rep. Britten, Republican of Illinois, which would have the president call an international conference of the white nations bordering the Pacific for discussion of mutual, economic, commercial and national defense understandings. Such action, it was said, would be the most direct slap in the face for Japan imaginable, and one that could be expected to undo the whole laborous work of promoting friendly relations with Tokyo. In diplomatic quarters today there was a buzz of speculation over the significance of the administration making public its optimistic survey of Japanese-American relations at this time. The consensus of opinion was that, with a new ambassador arriving, and in view of the "war talk" that has recently cropped up, the administration desired to impress upon the nation and the world at this particular time that relations with Japan are "most friendly." TOKYO, Dec. 18.—In an interview with American newspaper men here today, Tseuno Matsudaira, ambassador designate to Washington, expressed the belief that the United States and Japan are destine dto preserve the peace of the Pacific. "My experience in the diplomatic service has fortified my belief that openness and sincerity are the keynotes of success in solving diplomatic problem," he declared. "It seems clear to me that our two nations are destined to stand together to preserve the peace of the Pacific regions and thus make by their cooperation a great contribution to the general welfare of the world." Matsudaira expressed confidence in the friendlines of the American people.

She took the stand strengthened and heartened by the testimony of her mother, Laura Leinke, who preceded her and who with a defiant toss of her head, had established the identity question of counsel, with the simple, but unassumed assertion: "I am her mother." The mother was questioned but briefly and as she walked back into the court room she paused a moment by her daughter's side. No word was aptoken but the fleeting moment held something like an unscene caress. And it brought a smile to Elsie's lips, a real smile of thanks, and the love that passes understanding. Then she walked quickly to the stand and faced her accusers, a Magdalene come for judgment. There was a moment's pause, during which the quick intake of breath among the spectators broke over the quiet court room like a great sob and then her counsel, R. E. Smith, began talking slowly calmly, leading her gently along the route of her "Main street" life, over the days preceding her acquaintance with Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, her co-defendant, when she was a "good wife and mother" of their meeting and subsequent friendship, of his alleged conception of the poison plot as their only means to marriage and happiness, of the battle with her conscience and finally of Wilford's death. And thru it all, as a kind of minor obligate, ran the hint that Highly exercised some kind of superhuman power over this woman who had known so little of life and love and had yearned for both so passionately. The little circuit rider was etched by the defense pencil as a man preying on the simple soul of a lonely woman, taking advantage of his clerical post to gain her faith and then betraying her and the trust of his pulpit.

The French secret service reported the disappearance of many Communist agitators from their habitual haunts and they are believed to be developing a new plot to carry out the Communists' announced plan to arm themselves for a revolutionary movement. Foreign Communists who are facing certain imprisonment if they are returned to their home country under the program of deportation started against the reds, are believed making desperate efforts to promote Soviet movements in the suburbs which are largely populated by working men. In the metropolitan district bolts have been removed from the soldiers' guns and placed under heavy guard. Furloughs have been suspended. Officers are taking tames sleeping in the garrisons instead of in their own homes. Guards in public places have been doubled and special guards have been assigned to the protection of ammunition and machine gun stores.

Today the Pacific Coast train robber awaits in his cell at the federal priso nthe results of x-ray photographs taken last night in the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth to know whether he will have a chance for an operation—and with it possible normal manhood. The photographs were taken on orders of Atty. Gen. Harlan Stone, the orders a culmination of months efforts and pleadings by the convict's wife, who has contended that Roy is suffering from a depression on the brain. By the verdict of the x-ray camera, Gardner and his wife are prepared to stand. If it shows the depression, officials here say there is little doubt but the operation will be performed. Then says Dolly Gardner, her fight will have just begun. A pardon or commutation of the 25 years sentence will be her next effort. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium.

SPUDS ON KRAEMER LEASE The Standard Oil Co. on Tuesday spudded in a brand new well on the Kramer Lease, in the Richfield district, and put 15 more men to work. The company never gives out any information regarding its operations, but oil-workers reported that a number of additional men would be put to work by the company. The Chicksan Oil Co. of Alta Vista-st. Placentia, has also increased its force. Operations after the first of the year are expected to be considerably more active. The Union Oil Co., for example, which laid off many men, is expected to resume productive work with vigor.

SHOULD HAVE USED "BIUE BIRD" SIGN A real estate sign "listen to the knocking bird" posted at Westminster was the center of discussion in a $52,315 damage suit, arising out of an alleged fistic encounter between Max Lapat and Edward B. Finley and Floyd Morris. When the sign was placed much merriment was caused by the rival factions, it was testified in court, but the dispute, it seems finally led to fistle differences. New York municipal flags were flung at half mast. In Westchester county thru which the funeral cortege made its way to roaming Sleepy Hollow, no work was done while the procession passed. In the city, school teachers had been instructed by the New York board of education to speak to the pupils during the morning session of the life and services of Samuel Gompers. The teachers told how this once penniless and scarcely tutored boy of London's lowly White Chapel district had come to America an immigrant and rose to an exalted position as a leader of men. Stress was laid by the teachers on the last worrisome Gompers uttered when he died at San Antonio, 'God bless our American institutions." BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY illy butted down the door of animal house and bounded in, the things that had been knocked over. BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY Billy butted down the door of animal house and bounded in, remember. Before the assembled animals could turn to who was coming, Billy had between the baboon and the or giving each a push that rocked them over and sent him rolling over and over on floor. Then he stood on his legs and knocked the parcel cage down on the floor. That he rolled it over and around the room until Polly did for mercy, she was so dizzy battered. But for a long time Billy showed no mercy as detested Polly and liked nothing better than to toss her hand. Is for Maggie he regarded her as deadly hatred, and she and Billy just as cordially as hated her, but she was very afraid of him. So the minute she saw him enter the room, she ran away up on the hers and bid, hoping he would see her. But Billy's sharp agile her fall hanging down he called to her. Say, you ugly, snappy monkey! You better take your in when you hide if you do want people to know where are. And you better stay where you are if you don't to take a hurry-trip to the man. For I should like nothing better than to butt you so far could never get back." Turning to the other bear and the bear, he said: Now stand up and shake and call your difference off stop this fighting and disgiving people in the night!" Billy turned to leave the when he saw Snub and standing in the doorway the night watchman. Billy fled out of the room and the men to straighten up the things that had been knocked over. "Say, Snub," said the night watchman, "will you tell me how that goat got himself untied and over in here? And look at that thar bear and baboon! Both their faces are swelled out big as your two feet. Bet that has been a free fight goin' on in here and I also bet that Billy Whiskers war at the bottom of it." "Sure enough! sure enough!" called out Polly at that moment from her cage over in the corner of the room where it had rolled. "You too been in this free-for-all fight, Polly?" asked Snub. "All the rest of the animals seem to be here but Maggie. I wonder where she is," and just at that moment Maggie swung herself down on Snub's shoulder. "So, hot! You have been scared to death have you, so you roosted high to be out of harm's way? Well, it is a good thing you did for if Billy ever gets near enough to reach you it will be your last day on earth, I bet," said Snub. "I guess we better go out and see what Billy went; for that isn't no known' whar he might decide to go next." said Nick. So the three men hurried out to see where Billy had gone, but their hearts sank in their boots before they had gone three steps for there were Billy, Nannie, Stubby and Button, all four, running through the big gate into the street, for the night watchman in his hurry to get to the animal house had neglected to shut it. And that was the last Nick, Snub and the night watchman ever saw of Billy Whiskers, Nannie, Stubble and Button.
