In view of the fact that Montenegro
is no larger than a handful of counties
in an American state, it may be mag
ined that it took some nerve for King
Nicholas of that little kingdom to de-
clare war on the Turks. However, be-
fore he did this bold thing Nicholas
had assurances from the other Balkan
states and from Greece that they would
join him soon. Montenegro's excuse
for declaring war against Turkey was
long-standing quarrel over the
boundary question.
