Paris, Jan. 13, 5:35 a. m.—4In view of the success of the Austrian offen- sive against Mount Lovcen, measures have been taken by the Montenegrin government to evacuate Cettinje im- mediately, according to a Scutari di- spatch, says the Petit Journal's Milan correspondent. The government, however, has decided to continue the struggle against the Austrians, the dispatch adds. Austrians at Mitchitz. Jan. 13, 5:15 a. m.—Austrian | advancing from Cattaro i\nd‘ Budna have reached Mitchi five | miles from Antivari, which is being bombarded by the Austrian long range guns, according to a dispatch to L/Oeuvre under Tucflay’s date. Russians Take Sadagura. London, Jan. 13.—The news from the ecastern front of the capture of Sadagura is regarded in military circles as probably true, although official announcement of the subject has not been received. The town, which lies a few miles to the north- east of Czernowitz and is a converging point for five good roads, is of con- siderable strategic importance and previous attempts to capture it have found it stoutly resisted by the Aus- trians. Experts say Sadagura is really of more importance than Czernowitz, on account of its stronger natural position and the greater facilities which it offers for communication purposes. . The report from Petrograd that the cffensive in Galicia and Bessarabia had been suspended for the present is garded as at least premature. The R an offensive which recently had been in process could not, it is be- lieved, be suspended suddenly, as it had been undertaken after careful preparation and launched with un- expected strength. Three Fold Object. . The object of that offensive is said to be three fold: To demonstrate to the Rumanians, on their very borders, that the Russian forces are able to | assume the initiative when they choose: second to divert Austria- German forces from the Balkans and the western front and finally to im- prove the general strategic position of their own left flank. Full effect of this Ru an offensive cannot yet be determined, military experts on the entente side affirm that the second object was attained, that the situation in the Bankans was sensibly relieved, and that the operation undertaken by the Germans against the French in “hampagne was robbed of its force. The fact that the French flag is ngw ‘waving over the Palace, on the 1sland of Corfu, which belonged to the ierman Emperor and that the occu- pution of the Green Island by the en- ente is considered as complete has, t is reported, already evoked a pro- from the Greek government.

The failure is declared to have been com- rlete and the strong German forces which were employed sugered terrible re steadily de- gn in Monte- n force reloping their camp regro.

Watching Labor Bodies, With the political fortunes of the sompulsion bill satisfactorily safe- suarded, in the view of the British ‘ public, attention is now turned to the attitude that will be adopted by labor organizations. The officers of the miners’ federation are holding a meeting in London behind closed doors. Teutons Attack Saloniki.

The station agent said he warned the two men to return, but they said they were armed and feared no trouble. Nothing later was heard of the party, and it is believed that they met the fate of the Watson train. Told to Leave Mexico.

Another, to train the dog to return half way to his master and attract attention by a short bark, and yet another to teach the animal to pick up some ob- ject belonging to the soldier, carry it back to his master and guide the lat- ter to the spot wherc the man lies awaiting help.

A Progressive Governor, (New Haven Journal-Courier.) The jnaugural message of Governor Samuel W.

He is neither radical nor reactionary. He has been a close ob- erver of current histor; and is not afraid to interpret it. Some of his recommendations are worth consideration outside of the state of Massachusetts. In recom- mending a constitutional convention, e seeks to have written into the fun- damental law principles which human cxperience shows are for the best in- | terest of the state. Unlike the re- publican leaders of Connecticut, Gov- ernor McCall favors the merit system of appointment to office. His stand upon this subject is exactly that of Mr. ft and exactly unlike that of the general assembly of the otherwise good old state of Connecticut. He favors a form of social insurance to protect the worker against sickness, unemployment and old age. He has apparently been unable to appreciate the M chusetts policy of baiting the railroads, for he recommends legislation which shall be constructive, not destructive nd confis tory. He would have the administration of the ns of the state based upon their tion as hospitals, He de- 1t the state has too many its statute books and should urdertake a revision and recodifica- tion of them. He emplores each senator and representative ‘“to do everything for the commonwealth and nothing for himself.” Of course, there are many other recommendations local in their char- acter and application but the spirit of the message as a whole shows a Ireadth of view and a catholicity which places him at once among the foremost of the republicans of the country. Incidentally, while we have no idea that the republican convention will come to New England for its can- didate, Governor McCall's handling of important phases of government in his message has impaired the presidential hoomlet of United States Senator Weeks, of that state.
