The paper t proceeds to refer to the Sex-hian ! camax'illa composed of irrcsponsible j raegaloxnaniacs capable of any ' crime ancl says that Italy won't lose , her head. Fascist Italy knows whence comes the help and coun- , sel given to Belgrade," presumably a referenoe to- the Bolsheviks. Finally the paper emplxasises Italy's | desix-e for peace, but adds: "Italy \ won't take threats lying down. We j can' no loliger indulge in vain 1 words. Our slogan is "Aci in ! Silence." j The "Giornaie d'ltalia's" corres- J pond»snt at Tirana states that in face s of the alleged1 military preparations by Jugoslavia the Albanian Govern- ( ment has begun defensive measures. j Mountain guns have been sent to the northern frontier and the authori- j tk?s are prepai'ing for a large concentration of forces.
