“Servian (Serbian) troops sent out, it is charged, by W. W. Howard, under orders of high government authorities, have ravaged the helpless Mohammedan population of Albania, ten months after the Balkan war. Houses have been burned, men and women killed, and the country laid waste. In the house shown in this photograph, taken by Mr, Howard two Albanian women were driven into the place and then the house was burned. They were burned with it.

“Mr. Howard has come to the United States with remarkable stories of the horrors of the situation in the Balkans. Though the war has been over for a long time troops of Servians continue pillage through the Mohammedan sections of Albania. He, tried to arouse sentiment among the religious organizations in Europe to do something but he failed.

“Now he has come to the United States, where he will ask the farmers to send seed corn to the Albanians that they may have a crop this year. If they don’t get a crop they will starve more rapidly than now. They have been starving to death at the rate of 60,000 a year for the past winter. The Albanian Relief Fund, which has been organized to help the suffering people, has taken headquarters at 90 Bible House, New York City.”
