H. S. Marchant
The speaker claims to be the only man who has ever entered Albania on foot carrying a couple of hip-baths. An amusing frontier incident resulted in this introduction of H. S. Marchant 's to that curious little country that may best be located by the average man, when described as the ' second small country on the right going up the Adriatic '.
Albania is one of Europe's most fascinating backwaters, a land in which until only ten years or so ago, the visitor might not travel without fear of brigands, but which, under the leadership of its far-sighted King Zog, is being rapidly changed.
During the eleven years of his reign, Zog has disarmed the peasants, abolished the veil for Mohammedan women, made blood feuds illegal, and created an extremely up-to-date royal city in his capital Tirana. Even so, Albania remains a primitive and picturesque land, a land with few roads, no railways,, and a population which, in the words of one of its natives, is composed of ' Mohammedans, orthodox Catholics, Roman Catholics-and those who have been to America '.
