NAVIGATION ON
THE LAKES OPENS
Steamers Racing for Duluth
and Buffalo.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, April "a
Wireless dispatches announce that
the White Fish blockade of ice has
been broken and that grain boats are
squeezing through, making good time.
This opens navigation from Duluth to
Buffalo.
The breaking of the blockade was
followed by a scene of great activity
aboard the hundred boats waiting on
both sides of White Fish After some
maneuvering the race for Buffalo by
the grain boats and the race to Du-
luth by coal boats was on. The 500
canals will be tested to their utmost,
it is thought, to handle the big fleet.
A softening rain, aided by a south
west wind, enabled Captain Flynn and
his bucking car ferry st. Ignace to
penetrate an almost impossible series
of wind blown ice packs.

Cettinje, Montenegro, April "a
After final desperate attack lasting
more than twenty-four hours the Mon
tenegrin troops forced their way into
Scutari. The fortress, since the middle
of October, 1912, had offered a stub
born and heroic defense.
The assault which gave the Monte
negrins Possession of the city which
has been the sole object of their war
against turkey began on Monday
night. The Montenegrin army took
the offensive along the entire front.
They surprised the Ottoman defend
ers by pushing right up to the Turk
ish positions, where they engaged in
bayonet fighting.
The Ottoman soldiers made a num-
Der of counter attacks and tried to
drive the attacking force out of their
works, but they were compelled to
fall back and leave their positions in
the hands of the besiegers, who re-
ceived constant reinforcements.
Obtain Foothold at Midnight.
1t was midnight Tuesday when the
Montenegrins obtained their footing
in the fortress and detaehments of
the besiegers entered the city at 4
o'clock Wednesday morning.
According to one report Essad Pa
sha, the Turkish commander-in-chief,
recognized the uselessness of further
resistance after Tarkosch, the outly-
Ing key position, had fallen. He is
said then to have ordered his troops
to cease their defense of the fortress.
Another report says that the Mon.
tenegrin commander-in-chief had been
negotiating since Monday with Essad
Pasha for the surrender of the place.
Although the Servian troops did not
participate in the final attack their
artillery was used by the Montene-
grin gunners and Ii is said that to
this fact their success was largely
due.
The act of capitulation was signed
by the Turkish commander shortly
after the Montenegrin troops had
reached the center of the city.
Upsets Plans of Powers.
BY taking Scutari King Nicholas up
set all the nicely laid plans of the
great powers for the settling of the
Balkan allies war against Turkey.
One OF the stipulations of the triple
alliance and the triple entente was
to give Albania autonomous govern
ment, with Scutari as its capital. Now
the Montenegrins have Scutari and
how to dislodge them without fighting
the little kingdom is the nut the pow.
ers will have to crack.
When the powers first served no.
tice on Nicholas that he must desist
he was quoted as saying.
II win enter Scutari at the head of
my troops or ! will never return to
Cettinje alive. We were fighting for
our lives and against starvation. We
had to have more territory. You can
not raise grain on rocks. Death in
battle is preferable to life the way
we have been forced to live"
While the powers agreed to the in
ternational blockade and five OF them
have participated actively in it, 1t is
plain that power actually proceed
ed against Montenegro 1t would pre-
cipitate complications which might
bring on the dreaded European war
