IF Austria Hungary is to. be really

constant talk abroad of compensating
Montenegro for her military successes
makes an especially bad impression.
The political and military prestige
Of Europe has suffered by the fall of
Scutari. II this injury to their pres
tige, this check TO their actions, is a
matter of indifference to the powers,
Austria cannot follow them along such
path. She must insist with all the
