Wednesday wireless message was

came up with the Austrian vessels.

MILAN. October II. - Operations
against the fortified area of Cattaro
have now begun in earnest, and for the
first time in the course of rather pro-
tracted siege there is a real prospect
of the Montenegrins success. Their
lack of artillery is now remedied. Guns
have been dragged up the precipitous
paths which alone give access to the
crest of Lovchen. and a vigorous bonn
bardment has been begun by land and
sea.
According to telegram from San
Giovanni di Medua. the allied fleets
during the early days of the week did
not fire a shot, but contented them
selves with securing the Adriatic in
search of vessels carrying contraband
Wednesday they resumed the bonn
bardment for few hours, but serious
operations were not begun till Thurs

admittedly a debatable question as to
whether the French commander was
not entirely within his rights in max

CHURCHILL LAUDS
ANTWERP MARINES
First Admiralty Lord Declares
Their Services Were Timely
and Retreat Strategic.

LONDON, October II 60 p.m.).-Win-
ston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, who has been severely criti-
cised in some quarters for dispatching
naval brigades to Antwerp to assist In
the defense of that fortress. has sent
these organisations a congratulatory
message on their return. which is made
public by the admiralty. The first lord
justifies the action taken and says:
The loss of a portion of the first
brigade through a mistake in no way
reflects upon the quality or character Of
the division. The brigades Of royal
marines throughout the operations sus-
tanned fully. by their firmness. discipline
and courage, the traditions OF the corps

than this: The naval brigades bore them

with his infantry was afforded them
Need Was Urgent.
THE dispatch of the naval brigades to
Antwerp has interrupted for the time

training. They were chosen because the
need for them was urgent: because mobile
duties: because they were nearest and
could be embarked the quickest and be-

from being carried through. The de-
Tense of the inner lines of Antwerp
could have been maintained for some
days and the naval division withdrew
ence to the general strategic situation
and not on account of any attack or
pressure by the enemy.
The prolongation Of the defense. due
to the arrival of the division. enabled
the ships in the harbor to be rendered
useless and many steps of Importance
to be taken.
Effect of Delay.
1T is too early now to judge what
effect the delaying. even for five or
six days. of at least $4,000 Germans
before Antwerp may have had upon
the fortunes of the general battle to
the southwark. 1t was certainly pow
erful and helpful. apart from the mill
tary experiences, which have been in
valuable.
THE men of the division have been
witnesses of the ruthlessness OF the
German foe toward a small and inno-
cent state. These facts should In

the shortest possible time for further
service in the field. not merely as
fortress. but as mobile. units.

"A difficult question has arisen relat-
ing to Austrian officials in the town of
Lemberg. From persons of means they
have now become paupers, requiring
assistance. Another question is that
of credit. Numerous banks are without
their cash, which has been taken to
Vienna. These banks are sending a
deputation to Petrograd to solicit the
support of the Bank of Russia"
Local Police in Charge.
Referring to the police and the ad-
ministration of justice. the governor
said affairs at present are in the hands
of the local police, but that he was
expecting representatives of the Rus
sian ministry of justice to look into
the question. He continued:
I'm certain regions around Lemberg.
Nicolaieff, Grodek and other places
where there has been severe fighting
the population has been left in a state
of great distress. In Bukowina. an
Austrian crown land. bounded on the
north and northwest by Galicia. how
ever, there is little distress. except in
the towns. and as crops there are good
we are importing fod from Galicia.
THE relief of distress is being dealt
with by committees. including promi-
nent local residents, under directors OF
districts and controlled by a central
committe, whose chairman is Count
Vladimir Bobrinsky In cases of ex-
IRENE distress it is being arranged SO
that money may be advanced to those
in need.
Il have established in Galicia three
provinces-Lemberg, Tarnopol and
Bukowina. Perhaps we may establish
another province. following the line of
demarkation of the Russian popula-
ton which, on the maps of Austrian
Poland, is admitted to include parts of
the region about Sanok."

matter of providing revenue. he said, he
did not believe was the paramount issue
of the hour. and he was willing to re-

Senator Pomerene criticised some of
the democratic senators for referring

of the cotton states and the banks had
done to aid them. He read a letter
from a southern banker to other bank
