BLACK MOUNTAIN TROUBLES

Relations between Austria-llungary
and Montenegro are now the most
ominouS feature Of the Balkan sltua-
ton. The former powers warning 10
Servia not to assist her ally In reduc-
ing Scutari is now followed with orders
to Montenegro concerning the way in
which she may or may not prosecute
the siege This looks much Ike prac-
tical intervention by Austria-ilungary
in a war 10 which she is not party.
The object Of such meddling Is of
course quite obvious. Austria wants
nj all hazards 10 shut Servia away
from the Adriatic. and therefore Is un-
willing TO let Montenegro extend her
territory 10 the southwark. lest pas
sage TO the sea might thus be secured
for Seryia She also wants To put let
ters upon Montenegro by establishing
the ALBANIAN capital. under Austrian
lprotection. at SC1ltari. almost within
gunshot of the Monlenegrn frontier
Instead of at Berat. Elbassan or some
other point near the centre OF the new
state. Janina is of course the historic
capital of Albania, but Ausiria-tun-
gary apparently does not venture TO
dispute the Greek title by conquest 10
that place.
II would be- "A desperate undertaking
for Montenegro 10 resist Austria-Hun-
gary. Yet to yield would be TO make
the Black Mountain mere eDclave
between Austrian provinces. And an
overt act of war by Austria-Ilungary
against even the least of the Balkan
allies might play the part of spark
