Frank Mcintyre. chief of <he insular bureau of the war department. and w. T. s. Doyle. head of the Latin American division of the state department. The last word heard from the vessel was a dispatch from General Mcintyre on De- tober ?. which said the vessel would proceed along the north of the island republic and would leave October 6. The long silence has created considerable un- easiness in official circles, although it is hoped the Prairie merely has passed out of touch of cable stations and will soon report.

Hope to End the War

Paris. October 21-Fears expressed in Constantinople of possible aggression by Russia in the Caucasus while Turkey s hands are occupied in the Balkans are not shared by the French foreign office, This was officially reiterated tonight.

American Tells of War

London, October 2f.-A prominent American business man and former government official who has just re- turned from Cettinje gives some inter esting information regarding the sud den aggressive tactics of Montenegro in the present war. In an Interview today he said:
 The plan of war disclosed to me by King Nicholas has thus far been in- variably successful. The capture of Soutari within fortnight is ineyitable. The Montenegrins know the country as well as their own and stand in no dan ger of having their communication cut. Although the Montenegrins had been planning the war for three years their outbreak was premature-not a delib- crate part of the plan of the Balkan league. The Montenegrins were con cpntrated on the border. Each soldier had three days rations and at the end of that time even King Nicholas was powerless to hold them in the leash.
 "Montenegrin soldiers are well armed and equipped. They are splendid fight CTS. the only question is how well will they stand discipline, having been ac- customed only to guerrilla warfare
 "On leaving Cettinje, I visited the northern division of the Montenegrin army whose general told me he ex- rected to form a junction with q Servian column. The combined armies would then fight their way through Macedonia and form a junction with the Greeks between Uskup and Mon- astir. They expected by this move ment to keep large bodies of Turkish troops from going to the relief of Adrianople. where big battle is planned.
 T found every evidence that the Bal kan league was working in perfect har- mony, but the Montenegrn and Servian officials believe the powers will permit only one or two important battles before they intervene, and they are already fig uring a convention similar to that at Berlin. Balkan diplomats have confessed that the arrangement of peace between Italy and Turkey was such blow to their plans that had the note of the powers been presented week before the concentration on the Montenegrin border, war very likely would have been averted.
 ''The Balkan league. which surprises even it's founders by it's solidarity, was formed so secretly that no European dip lomat had an inkling of it's purpose'

Pomerene Cross- Examines

When Senator Pomerene cross-eX- amlned MT. Perkins there was an ex- 1iosion. Pomerene wanted to know whether Perkins had any memoranda of the S19, 9,500 sent to various states.
 "I kept none" Perkins said. 'I only know from the accounts of the people tc whom [ gave money how much gave. Why didn't you ask for this from your own party. You did not ask Ryan to account for his $f50,0O0.'
 T am not here to be iectured,' in- tefrupted Pomerene.
 Perkins then shouted at his inquis- itor:
 q know what you are here for all right, just as well as l know what I'm bere for"
