GEN'EVA, Sept. . Italian troops have embarked on trans ports nt Brlmllsl for Avlon.i. tho capital of Albania, according to an unconfirmed report from Home. "In view of tho grave situation now existing throughout Europe, Italy docs not consider the offer of tho Albanian crown to a son of Abdul Humid, ex Sultan of Turkey, Is stifllclcntly lm poitant to Justify Intervention." sajs the Tribuna of Home, In an editorial on the Government's nnn ncutrallt. Turkey will reopen the Dardanelles tr navigation In a da or two, according to a dispatch from Constantinople. The European Powers have brought pres sure to bear on the Turkish Government since Its notification of the various diplomatic representatives that the straits would bo closed to It-attic, Tho pot is boiling over onco more in Albania. The situation In that artificial principality became so serious today that Intervention by Italy is not unlikely. There Is no doubt that such Intervention would mean a declaration of war by Austria. Necessity for "protecting Italian inter ests in Albania" may furnish the pie text Italy openly desires for taking sides In the war of the nations. There Is inoro than vague surmiJo to Justify this con elusion. It Is learned from re table sources that tho new crisis in Albania Is ex ercising the Italian Government and that positive action is contemplated. Simultaneous with the meeting of the Cabinet to consider the Turkish situa tion a proclamation was Issued forbid ding Italians to enlist as volunteers In the armies of belligerents. The prohibi tion was due to a movement for forming a corps of "Garibaldians" to serve with Essad Pasha in Albania and In Dalmatta. An Italian naval demonstration in the Aegean Sea Is being considered The English Mediterranean fleet and several French war vessels are now concentrated there, near tho Islands which belong to Italy. SENATE ELECTS TURKISH PRINCE. In Durazzo the Senate of Albania, dcf Ing all of the Powers, elected Prince Bur-han-Eddln, a son of Abdul Hamld, de posed Sultan of Turkey, as Prince of Albania. The Senate appointed a commie eion to go to Constantinople and deliver the Invitation to the Turkish Prince. Simultaneously Essad Pasha, the great popular leader In Albania, prepared to march on Durazzo with an army of 12,000. He has arrived at Dibra with a force and Is collecting an army for the over throw of the Interregnum. Essad Is popular in Italy and has en Joyed the favor and protection of tho Italian Government. When Austria dis persed his forces and took him prisoner, virtually, at the time Essad was pre paring to overthrow Prince 'William of Wled, Italy interposed, placed Essad on an Italian warship, guarded him and later welcomed him in Italian territory. ITALY TO PROTECT INTERESTS. The Italian Torelgn Office has Ignored the action of the Albanian Senate. It n. ill neither confirm nor deny the news that Princo Burhan-Eddin has been of fered the throne. There is cause for stating that Italy's attitude depends upon events and that Italian interests will be defended at any cost. Excluding the greatest of those imprests, which is the permanent veto of Italian territorial aggrandizement In Albania with tho con trol of harbors, such as Valona, that as sure dominance in the Adriatic, there 13 the necessity of protecting Italian prop erty and citizens ugaiti imperiled by civil war The pressure of public opinion In Italy Increases Every day finds the Govern ment's position more delicate. Every day the comments of influential citizens and writers, is bolder, more aggressive Italj'a armv and navv are read All that is needed is a respectable pretext This Albanian affairs may now furnish. Italy Id informed of Austrian piepara tloni in the fnla district. whre T'XOOO troops are believed to be assembled MINOR TERRORS OF WAR; ITS COMfiDY AND PATHOS An eloquent commentary on tho feel ing that exists between British officers and men. nnd a reason why the list of casualties among tha British commis sioned officers lins been so lalge Is fur nished In the following letter written hv n noncommissioned officer of the Buffs: "No regiment fought harder than we did, nnd no regiment has better officers, who wont shoulder to shoulder with their men, hut vou can't expect absolute Im possibilities to be accomplished. Mo mat ter how brave tho boys nre, when you nre fighting a force 20 to 30 times as strong. If some of .vou nt home who have sp-iken snceringly of British officers could have seen how they handled their men nnd shirked nothing you would bs ashamed of yourselves. We nre all de trmlnel when It Is fit again to return und get our own back." Hundreds of men from the Salvation Army missions have answered the call of Lord Kitchener for services loyally und promptly, stories of the gallantry and braver.v of the Salvationists nie now coming back from the front. One of the wounded served ns a motor driver In the io.vnl field artillery. He was a bandsman In the Salvation Army before war was declared nnd told of hearing other former Salvationists sing ing the favorite songs of the army on the battlefields at night. Tolling of the fighting, the former bandsman said "Shells were bursting all around us and I was struck by a splinter. It was only a flesh wound, however, so I bound It up and went ahead with my work. First It seemed the enemy was getting the bet ter of us, then he would letreat and so the battle went nil da v. Comtarie- were falling all around me. The Germans wore falling In hundreds. So thick were the dead of the enemy that when the order to advance was given ve slmpb had to force the motor over heaps of bodies. While following the ret! eating Germans six of us got lost Tor four Hon Is so clean one soldier did not know ho had been hit for three hours, nnd an other bullet went through two soldiers and lodged In a cavalryman's saddle. "If oLndon were to follow the example of the Russian capital and change Us name," says the London Times, "Cos mopolls might he a suitable title. For six weeks citizens of other nations have been pouring into England until London has become n vast hostel. Belgians whoso I homes have become smoking ruins, Frenchmen on whose lands the soldiers of three nations nre now fighting, Russians whom the outbreak of war surprised In some alien country nil have sought these shuies.

At the hint of war, uermnns wno wore In Paris flowed over to England This Invasion has turned London Into h city where alien tongues may be heard pverywhere. In omnibuses und trains, In the shops and theatres one sees foreign ers and listens to foreign speech.

It was on the fourth night that we fell In with the British ambulance sections, nnd one of the first sounds I heard was a wound ed man In one of tho wagons singing: " 'I'm a child of a king, I'm a child of a king, With Jesus my saviour, I'm a child of a king.'

Reports Indicate It sometimes takes a lot to kill a modern soldier. Sergeant Fougere, of France, received eight bul let wounds, a broken arm and other In juries, and although shot In the calf, thigh and ankle, escaped being captured by Germans, and limped ten miles to his regiment. Another JYench soldier re ceived six bullet and three baonet wounds and Is recovering.

Having disposed success fully of a few "Harpers," "Mitchells," etc., he came to the name "Montague." "Private Montalg," shouted tho ser geant. There was no reply, but when the name ms repeated a hnlf-heartcd "Here, sir," came from the ranks. "Why didn't you answer before?" de manded the sergeant. "Because my name is Mcn-tn-guo." replied the recruit. "Well," mapped the sergeant, "you'll do seven days' fatlgew." The next name on the list, Majorlbanks, brought no response, for tho sergeant pronounced "MaJore banks." A second call brought the mild response, "I expect you mean me, sir. My name Is 'Marshbanks.' " The sergeant almost reeled, but pro ceeded bravely with "Colquhoun." "Private Col-kcw-houn," he called. "Coohoon, sir, that's me," came a brisk reply from the front rank. The drill Instructor gave up and. clos ing his book, he weailly gave the order "number." When this was completed he said: "One hundred and twenty-one. That's right.

The British Official Press Buicatt has Issued a description of the operations of tho British force In France and the French armies In Immediate touch with It, communicated by an eyewitneso nt the headquarters of Field Marshal Sir John French. This account supplements thnt Issued September 21. It says: "September 25, 1914. For four days there has been a comparative lull nil nlong our front. This hns been accom panied by a spell of lino weather, though the nights arc now much colder. Ono cannot have everything, however, nnd enc evil result of the sunshine has been the release of files, which were torpid during the wet dnys. "Advantage has been taken of the ar rival of reinforcements to relieve bv fresh troops the men who have been In the firing line for some time Several units, therefore, have received their baptism of fire during tho week. ATTACK IN DARK. "Since the last lutlcr left general headquarters, evidence hns been ic- celved which points to the fact tha' during counter attacks on the night oT Sunday, the 20th. the German Infnntrv fired Into each other as the lesult of an attempt to carry out the d'ingerous ex pedient of a converging aihanco In the dark. "Opposite one portion of our position a considerable massing of hostile forces was observed before dark, and some hours later a furious fusillado was heard In front of our line, though no bullets came over our trenches. "This narrative begins with September 21 and covers only two day.s. On Monday, the 21st, there was but little rain, and the weather took a turn for the better, which hns been maintained. The action was practically confined to the nitlllery, our guns at ono point shelling and driv ing away the enemy, who were endeav oring to construct a redoubt The Ger mans, for their part, expended a large number of heavy shells in a long range bombardment of a village. FOUND TRENCHES DESERTED. "Reconnoitring parties sent out during the night of the 21st-22d discovered some deserted trenches, and in them, or neat them In the woods, over 100 dead ond wounded were picked up. A number of rifles, ammunition and equipment were also found. There wcie other signs that portions of the enemy's foices had with drawn for some distance. "Tuesday, the 2.d, was also fine, with less wind, and was one of the most un eventful days that has passed since we reached the Aisno uneventful, that is, for the British. There vvas less artllleiy work on cither side, the Germans never theless giving another village a taste of the 'Jack Johnsons ' "The spot thus honored was not far from the ridge where some of the most severe clos-e fighting In which we have taken part has occurred.

The ttusslnn reffards tha Austrian as a gentlemanly opponent, with whom It la n pleasure to fight. . Not thnt the Austrian docs not fight well. Tho struggle In 1'oland nnd fjallcla hns been as bloody ns that on the Meuse, nnd the Austrian, though beaten, has fotnjht gallantly ngalnst overwhelming numbers, better generals and better troops. Tho Austrians have never levied nny contribution on occupied towns, and have treated Russian prisoners and wounded with reasonable humanity.' It Is not easy to arrive nt a correct entlmato of the number of Austrian pris oners Interned In various parts of Rus sin. The Bourse Gazette, ono of the leadlni? evening newspnpers of I'etrograd, sets the llguro at StJO.OuO. Among tho Inrge contingent of prisoners nt Kiev Is Hip former Austrian commatfdant of Lent berg. The Austrian prlsoneis arriving In Pe trogrnd nre a decidedly mixed crowd. Tho first thing thnt strikes one nnoui them Is the extraordinary number ot SlnVs. Kiev Is overflowing with prisoners. They nro also streaming Into Pettogrml. They are becoming a national problem. "What shall wo do with our Austrian ptlsoners?" Is the cry of the moment. As a matter of fact, they nre being di rected to Vologda and other remote In tel nal Governments of Muscovy, where they will be ns peaceful for the next six months ns If they wero snowed up at the North Pole. To give tho Austrian officer his due, he does not often, when captured pes ter his captors for favois. Some Aus trian otllceis do not seem, however, to take the war setlousl. The best Aus trian troops are those from the Tyrol. They have had not qunirel with tho Slavs, and know nothing about them, while tho troops from eastern Austiln are iilther half Slav themselves or aro easygoing und not serious. This lack ol seriousness constitutes the great moral defect of the Austro-Hun-garlan armv. It explains the readiness of the Austrians to surrender nnd letreat.

I ., i rma M I M Car News Right from the Front The high-sounding claims of many car builders fill the air. But don't buy any car on the conversational powers of its sales man or the lure of its printed advertisement. You are interested in performances not promises. You want to know what the car really is what it will actually do, both under ordinary conditions of service and when it has to meet extraordinary conditions. It is the ability of the 1915 "Light Six" to stand up in extraordinary service that has made it the fastest selling Chalmers car ever built. We know how carefully this car is built we know the quality of the ma terials used and we know that in beauty, ruggedness, power, speed, comfort, convenience, and strength to meet any and every emergency of the road the 1915 Chalmers "Light Six" is a better car than any other "light six" selling within several hun dred dollars of its price. its construction, and its greater smoothness and ease in riding. This proof positive test is daily convincing scores of motor-wise buyers of Chalmers superiority. Put this Car Under Fire You don't want to make a bad investment of your money you don't want to buy a car that will prove itself a weakling when it has to meet a real road trial. The only sure way to protect yourself is to buy a car that has proved its stamina under the hardest demands of motoring. It is under rigorous conditions that the Chalmers 1915 "Light Six" most clearly reveals its great superiority over others in its price class. It is doing it right now for thousands of own ers everywhere. And what is more, thousands of owners the country over will tell you the same thing. Pay No Heed to Pavement Performance There's many a car bought on its pave ment performance that would never have been considered could the purchaser have seen it perform over rough roads. Simply skimming over a boulevard is not a test of a car in any sense of the word. That is why we urge you to take this Chal mers "Light Six" for a long trip over every kind of roads you can find. For it's then that the real quality of a motor car asserts itself. It's then you'll appreciate the higher quality of the Chalmers "Light Six," the greater power and flexibility of its master motor, the greater solidity and firmness of Quality First Of all "light sixes" the 1915 Chalmers "Light Six" is the car that can most successfully meet such serv ice because it is a "light six" built on the basis of "Quality First." A few big features of the 1915 "Light Six": a different kind of automobile beauty; unusually handsome finish; Pullman-like comfort; a 48 H. P. long stroke non-stall-able motor which "stays put"; graceful molded oval fenders of both strength and beauty; 4y3.inch tires "Nobby" tread on rear wheels; unusually complete equipment including Chalmers-made one-man top of silk mohair, quick acting storm curtains, five demountable rims, one-motion Chalmers Entz electric starter which makes the motor non-stallable, Klaxon horn, electric lights, etc. And perhaps the greatest feature of all, the unusually high quality in a car at such a price. We are anxious lo take you on this Chalmers "Real Test" Ride. Come in to day and arrange for it. Chalmers Motor Company of Philadelphia 252-254 North Broad St., Philadelphia Phone Spruce WW i .
