The singular differences OF character be-
tween the Servians and the Montcnegrins APP
pear in diplomacy as well as in war In their
recent hostilitcs with Turkey. the Servians
were beaten in almost every action by the Turks.
while the untamed mountaineers Of Montcne-
gro defeated the Turks in almost every one Of
the numerous battles they had with them. The
Servians do not fight like the Montenegrns.
Now that Turkey is anxious TO bring TO an
end the war with these two adversaries
and has begun the attempt TO make
treaties Of peace with each OF them. we
see at once in what different ways they conduct
negotiations. The Seryians are in hot haste 10
open them. but when begun, they show them
selves 20 be two-iaccd and tricky. and try by
every possible means TO cheat and mislead the
Turks. The Montencgrins, on the other hand,
are at first doubtful about making peace with
their Turkish enemy. but, as soon US proper
offers have been made. their prince steps for
ward announces his readiness to open negota-
tons. and to treat directly. We cannot say for
the Servians what We must say for the Monte
ncgrins. that they have shown themselves brave
on the battlefield aud manly in the council Of
peace.
