New York. Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, formerly chief of the signal corps of the United States army, who was for several months attached as American military observer to the Italian forces in the field, and who recently returned from Rome, speaks enthusiastically of what he saw in Valona, or Avlona, as It Is sometimes called, the chief port of Albania, which the secret treaty of London, in April, 1915, allotted to Italy. Valona, he said, is regarded by the Italians as one of the keys to the Adriatic, and their oc cupation since December, 1914... when troops were landed because of internal disorder, has transformed It from a squalid fishing village to a seaport that Is on its way to attain an importance It has not enjoyed since the days of the Roman Empire. Dock have been built, buildings have been erected, and military roads, unsurpassed anywhere, have been constructed from Valona throughout Albania by Italian engi neers, he said. . ' . The general described , how - the Prince of Wied, placed on the Albanian hrone by the powers, was overthrown. and a republic set up with Essad Pasha as president. He, too, was forced out, and the little country was eft a prey to Austrian intrigue from he north and the machinations of the pro-German King Constantine of Greece from the south. On Christmas day, 1914, the Italian government, fear ing possible developments In Albania, sent the 10th regiment of bersaglieri to occupy the little fishing hamlet of Valona. 8aved Albania for Allies. By so doing," said General Scriven, "Italy saved at least the greater part of southern Albania from the horrors of Austrian and probably Bulgar occu pation, and, in addition, became the deciding factor In th4. great uljJmat success of the Balkan campaign, which now appears to have been the loose stone, n the arch that upheld the Ger man power. Doubtless some day It will be recorded that the world owes much to the brilliant stroke of military fore sight that sent this little force )to oc cupy an unheeded portion of the Bal kan coast, there to perform the duty of watchful waiting daring the trying months, that held the old Triple Alli ance In doubt. By this peaceful occupation a mili tary position was secured that later be came an Important naval station for the allies, as well as a strategic and tactical base of such Importance that had It fallen into the hands of the enemy, the great military romance of the Balkans, If played at all, would have occupied a far more narrow stage, and the whole of western Al bania would, have; been thrown open to the Germans. For this and for the later treatment of the "country and Its peo ple, I believe Albania and the world &we a debt of gratitude to Italy." "With the entrance of the Italians Into the war, military activity In the Balkans Increased. Additional forces were sent to Valona, from, which as a base Italian control was extended over all" southern Albania. The Italian troops, without viol erice, and. Indeed, at the request of the inhabitants them selves, occupied the interior towns, or the ruins, as some of them then were, of Tepeleni, Argiro-Castro, PrematI, Llascovikl, Santa Quaranta, and Porto Palermo. - Made Modern City of. Hamlet. - "When the Italians landed, Valona offered only the picture of a fishing village lying asleep in filfh on the picturesque shores of what s a really beautiful bay. . v . "With the arrival of the Italians the town awoke as If by magic. Italy went to work to make Valona not qnly habi table, but prosperous. Government buildings 4rose almost in the; night Docks were constructed, electric lights were installed. -Sanitation was not neglected. v "To my mind the greatest accom plishment of the Italians in Valona, and elsewhere in Albania; lies In the splendid military roads they have con structed. "Another "benefit v conferred by the Italians in' Albania has been the en lightening of the Inhabitants. Former ly there were no stopping places of a civilized kind for the stranger. The natives were so 'suspicious and often hostile to travelers that Albania has been shunned almost as much as Af rtcftor Thibet. Italy, made friends with the people Fojnce hs torch " --Trk' W1!1.
