MONTENEGRO’S ACTION. Contrary to the inclinations of those people, as disclosed in thelr many years of strife and fighting, the Mon- tenegrins have agreed to lay down thelr arms, and- make terms of peace with - their Austrian con- querors ‘if Vienna reports are true. Finding themselves overwhelmed by superior forces without adequate sup- plies, without the necessary military equipment and with no evidence of reinforcements there is mnothing sur- | prising in" their “action. ' They ‘have recognized . the- inevitabls: ‘and - hdve ¢hosen the way of least resistance, but not without a hard fight amd a full shara of credit for the part which they have played in holding back the invaders. Though Montenegro is a very small country the fact that the Teutonic allies have disposed of their opposi- tion removes ome of the theaters of the war and like the withdrawal of the allies from the Gallipoli peninsula it leaves fhe larger proportion of the forcés “used in those operations for activity elsewhere. Montenegro will be under Austrian control until the end of the war at least and it will lose its stronzhold of Mount Lovcen, which is of 80 much importapce for the control of Cattaro bay. 'As a recompense it is likely to be promised portions of Servia and Albania if all goes well with' the central powers and victory finally perches on their standards, but even though- the en- tente allies ‘should ultimately get the opportunity to dictate the final peace terms_in the war it is not improb- able that they will give full recog- nition to the part which the black mountaineers have played in the war up to this time, and the sacrifices they have made even though they have been forced.to a separate peace. e e EDITORIAL NOTES. # There is nothing like a continued cold snap to put an abrupt end to stories about thin fce victims.

None available at this moment,” the sergeant would say. One of the officers thought he would have to get a wagon, no matter how. This attitude took the case out of the sergeant’s hands. Just then the base commander entered the outer room. The officer turned to him with an in- troduction of himself by himself and a vigorous clack of his heels. “Very sorry!
