NEW YORK. January 20-Cettinje, one Of
the smallest. If not the smallest, Of the few
remaining despotic monarchies of the world.
has Just taught a remarkable lesson to the
greatest of the despotic monarchies Of the
world. for until final settlement Is effected
in Russia 1T is hardly fair to say that the
car Is not still in reality despotic mon
arch. In the art of yielding gracefully to
the new order of things Prince Nicholas Of
Montenegro has set forceful example to
the great white car Nicholas, though prob
ably year or SO ago the autocrat Of all the
Russias would have smiled at the idea that
he could learn anything from the autocrat
or the mountain kingdom of Montenegro.
Yet In southeastern Europe in years there
has not been a more unique spectacle than
that of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro lay
Ing down his authority as an autocrat after
ruling for forty-f1ve years as an absolute
autoerat, master Of life and death In his
kingdom
The little capitol overlooked with enthu-
siastic crowds eager to witness the opening
of their first parliament and to render oya-
lions to their prince as he made his way
from the capitol to the council rOom In the
act or laying down absolute power the
prince delivered an impassioned and elo-
quent speech, which was cheered to the
echo.
General Rejoicing Over Franchise.
In the general rejoicing that followed

oncile himself to the new condition of things
Inc rlsht-hand man of the prince. Uvivoda
Plammenato. who had served him for the
greater part of his ninety years. said that
he could not bring himself into line with the
new development of the state, and begged
leave to retire from public life. The prince
acceded to this request.
Inc princes proclamation breathes
throughout the spirit of liberty. Its opening
paragraph states that every man belonging
to civilized society should be free citizen -
and his beloved Montenegrans' are assured
that this is and always has been the senti-
ment of their ''old prince and master"
The proclamation states that Montenegro
