Cettinje, May 6.-King Nicholas of
Montenegro has decided to ovacuate
the fortress of Scutari in rec aonse to
the demand of the Europea- powers.
When he took possession OF Scutari
on April %, after six months siege
which cost the lives of thousands of
Montenegrins and Turks, King Nicho-
las declared that he would hold the
city until the last drop of Montene-
grin blood had been spilled.
AS the European powers had decid-
ed previously that Scutari was to form
part of the future autonomous state of
Albania crisis was brought about
and the powers Immediately brought
strong pressure to bear to force him
and his troops to evacuate the place.
In the meantime Austria took ener.
getic steps to enforce the powers de-
cision and concentrated large bodies
of troops in Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Dalmatia. The powers In the interim
instituted a blockade of the Monte
grin coast. All these demonstrations,
however, seemed not to affect the de-
termination Of the king.
Some of the Montenegrin troops
were withdrawn from Scutari in order,
1t was said, to resist possible Aus
trian advance. Then word came that
Austria and Italy had entered into an
agreement to solve the Albanian prob
lem by military expedition and 1t
was known that the Austrian army
was preparing to march forward.
The attitude of Russia under these
circumstances was a matter of great
concern to Europe and when she
Joined in the pressure being exercised
on Montenegro great relief was felt,
as it had been thought she would re.
sist any attempt by Austria to order
her army southwark.
1t was suggested. during the negotia.
tions that the king of Montenegro
would receive territorial compensation
In another direction IL he would give
up Scutari and that his majesty was
preparing to accept this offer.

one of the chances the United states
took when it decided TO construct the
Panama canal was the danger from

mic zone and subject TO disturbances

1t is no fancied risk. as the expert

shows. The isthmus was shaken from

so substantially that they will stand

them.
This is one danger against which the
canal cannot be so securely fortified

How much truth there is in this

1t might be difficult to ascertain

come to the conclusion that South
Bend is not really such a bad place
after all; that vice conditions are
probably not worse than in other cities
of it's size.
This profound utterance comes after
years of defamation by the Tribune.
beginning when the last republican adj
ministration went out of office.
But the people of South Bend
knew better all the time.
With the keenest regret the people
Of South Bend have seen the city
heralded to the world as a den Of
iniquity when every one who has visit
ed other cities knew that vice condi-
tiOns in South Bend is far less odious
than in the majority of cities.
Every visitor TO the city who is
familiar with other places of like
character comments favorably upon
conditions in South Bend.
During all these years that South
Bend has labored to become world
famed" in a creditable sense the Trib-
une has done it's best to make the city
ill-famed throughout the state and
country.
Nor were its criticisms made with
a view toward helpfulness. Condi-
tions that are unavoidable in a city
like South Bend have been overdrawn
and exaggerated for a supposed polit-
zeal effect. Not content with SANDER
ing the fair name of the city, the Trib-
une from time to time prints the edi-
torial comment of the state Chased
solely upon its own slanders) as if it
enjoyed the i'll effects of its own
questionable conduct.
And now in the middle of a cam
paign in which Mr.. Miller and the
other ex-presidents of the Chamber
of Commerce would seize control of
the city, the Tribune allows" the
old town is really a good place to live
in. To curry temporary favor the
poor old Trib. is compelled TO belle
its assertions of a decade.
But even for the few weeks preced-
ing election it is worth something for
the Tribune to desist OBTAINING the
city that supports it.

And there was something in his voice

Once more he walked up and down

the nursery - angry, cOnvulsive
screams. The baby needed spanking;
Nothing else could stop It, he told
himself, grimly That crying was

purpose. Catherine his courage, ne

The baby stared at him in surprise.

couldn't draw away. He sat down
on a chair by the crib.

The baby still held to his hnger.
1t had stopped crying and was gurg-
ling softly. Its face was all wet with
tears With his other hand he got
out his handkerchief and awkwardiy
wiped them off. That soft little
clutch on his finger - somehow, II
thrilled him as nothing ever had be-
fore.
A half-hour later the nursery door
opened nOiselegsly, and Helen stood on
the threshold. But as the door was
behind him. he did not see her. Nhat
she saw was a sleeping baby with It's
little hands holding tight on 10 war

For a moment she watched them.
