One day the officer in charge ol the prison camp took him aside and said: "Look here, if you'll shut your mouth I'll make you an officer in the Italian army." "0.K." said the Albanian. Next day Mussolini visited them, shook hands with the Albanian, and remarked: "So you are now an officer in the great Italian army?" "That's rig'ht," came tlie answer. "But oh boy, what a those I Greeks gave us at Koritza!"
