ALBANIAN LOVE AND HATE
Albania, whose future is now in question, has been compared to the Highlands of Scotland in the sixteenth century, when all the clans wero in constant feud ono with another. "Many a time," says Mr Foster Eraser, "I have thought of similarities between Albania and Scotland. There are parts of the country reminiscent of the Highlands. The passionate love of country is characteristic of both peoples.. The alertness of tho Scotch Highlander toresent insult is only equalled by the quickness of the Albanian to shoot any one who may disagree with him. Tho quilted petticoat of the Albanian is certainly similar to the Highlander's kilt. And if you hear the wail of Albanian musio in the hills you can, without much stretch of imagination, fancy vou are listening to the skirl of the' bagpipes." "
