Tirana reports the complete destruction of Durazzo. King Zog formally informed England, America, France and Germany of Italy’s attack and Albania’s determination to resist to the utmost. TIRANA, April 7 M. Frasheri. sx-Premier of Albania, telegraphed Signor Mussolini:— **We prefer death to dishonour. ■We know you possess enormous artillery, poison gas, aeroplanes and every other means of destruction, but we have courage and the spirit of sacrifice and resignation. Five centuries ago bloody hands belonged to Asiatic barbarians. Are you twentieth century barbarians in the West? This warning come from the soul of Albania. The Fascist army will only pass over the bodies not only of men but of women.”
