Bulld0zing the Montenegrins

The warships of Italy, France,
Germany, Great Britain and Austria
Hungary are blocking the Monteneg-
rim port of Antivari. Cettinje, the
capital of the kingdom, is not port,
and the combined fleet therefore lays
seige of Antivari. Russia has no
warship present, but she is a part of
the bulldozing scheme.
These selfish nations are acting in
the interest of Austria Hungary
which wants an Albania that can be
gobbled up later on. Montenegro
stands in the way. She not only wants
Scutari, but she stands in the way of
the annexation of the entire east
coast of the Adriatic down to the con-
fines of Greece. Anything more selfish
or arrogant than this effort of the
powers could not we'll be conceived.
Montenegro defies all of them. She
proposes, aided by Servia, to continue
the war with Turkey, including the
seige of Scutari, and public senti-
ment is with her throughout the
world. Even in Austria Hungary the
Montenegrins have friends. 1t will be
strange indeed if this cowardly at
tack upon Antivari is not strongly
denounced in many countries.
