The DIset Meuntsineess.

The Montenegrins. according TO des-
patches from London and southern
Europe, have driven the Austrians
from their soil. Thus the mite Of
the warning nations. the smallest
among peoples has won the only vic.
tory 70 far for the Allies IN the
present Balkan campaign.
These mountaineers and good fight
Ing men have always fought best
against an enemy whom they looked
upon a. an oppressor. Here was the
inspiration Of their I've hundred year
struggle with the Turks. when after
the capture Of Scutari they no longer
had to beat back "the swarms Of
Turkish Islam" they turned to the
north, there to fud in Austria an op-
pressor Qnite as formidable as Tur.
key had ever been.
Thus, when Austria decided alone
to conquer the Montenegrins abe
found an enemy that went into the
struggle with all the zest and the
bravery Of their forefathers. The
Austrians evidently made little prog
ress In older Montenegro they sought
to advance rather In Novi Bazaar, the
southern outlet they had SO long
coveted. and which came to Monte
negro as spoils in the Balkan war
They had held in Joint occupation
with the Turks the towns Of Plevlja,
Priboj and Priepolje and knew the de-
fensive capabilities Of the country.
The Montenegrins In meeting them
here departed from their old tactics
they always fought in their own hills
or passes, and they were generally
considered poor soldiers away from
their native mountains. II was
doubted II they could stand against
modern artillery warfare. Their
strategy was to draw their foe into
a narrow defle and surrounding him
cut him to pieces by savage on
slaughts. They. however. learned to
use artillery at Scutari and developed
into superior m%arksmen. as their exc
cution at this siege attested. They
evidently applied their new attain
ments to their ancient tactics. for the
reports indicate that they trapped
their enemy in the mountains and
forced his retreat from their land
with considerable loss.
The Montenegrin is not apparently
living entirely In the heroic past, In
what MI. GLADSTONE called the most
glorious Of "all the war traditions OF
the world" but has added to his in
herent natural ability as n warrior
the knowledge and training indis-
pensable to the modern soldier.

New Years Eve In New York.

New Years eve in New York Is an

1t Is now reported that JAMES n.
O'GoRMAN, whose term in the Senate
Of the United States expires on March
3, 1917, and whose will be
elected next November, will not again
be a candidate for his present Office,
but will devote his energy to the ac-
emulation of n competence after he
Is released from the public service.
In addition to this, 1t Is asserted
that WILLIAM G. McADoo, ut present
Secretary Of the Treasury, asplres to
fill the vacancy to he caused by Mr..
O'GoRMAN's retirement, and will en-
deavor to get the Democratic nomina-
ton for Senator in the primaries.
Mr.. O'GoRMAN's decision Is under
standable. Mr.. McApoo has coveted
every office in sight for n long time.
The reports are both credible. More
over. since the middle OF the dying
year the distribution Of Federal pat
ronage in this State, over which Mr..
McApoo has presided with enthusiasm
eel since his respected father-in-
law became President, has been so
managed as to give strength and sub
stance to a McAdoo boom for what
ever job that ingenious gentleman
might yearn.
As we contemplate the diversion Of
the pie to new applicants for prefer
ment in the recent past with the H.
Illuminating light Of Mr.. OGoRMAN's
proclaimed course to guide us, how
simple and clear and easily compre-
hensible the record becomes!

The memory of LISA seemed TO
warrant the opinion that the war be-
tween Austria and Italy would not
be very old when their navies fought
n great sea battle in the Adriatjc, but
until the running fight between the
Austrian dcstroyers and a cruising
squadron of the enemy Off Cattaro.
which was reported yesterday. there
had not been a collision worth re-
cording. As Italy has the stronger
navy ana the Kings son is in com
mand Of 1t. the inference Is that Aus
tria has taken n leaf out OF Germany's
book.

IroncIads In North Sea.

The British sailors in the North sea
have been encountering gales and fog,
interspersed with heavy snowstorms,
according to writer in the London
Navy and Army.
Vessels, no matter what their size,
facing such weather as this" he says,
find the upper deck practically i'm
possible either for exercise or drill.
AS the bow strikes the seas, spray will
be flung up, to freeze where it strikes
until the upper works become one
great mass of ice. On the bridges, can
vas screens are rugged to give what
protection is possible to officers and
lookouts, but this is meager ana the
men have to be relieved continuously.
"On the mess decks everything is
done to make life endurable by fixing
UP of tween deck stoves, but there is
very little real comfort attached to
these, because iron boxes, which the
mess decks really are, denuded of
every piece of superfiuous fitting
against the great day, cannot be made
comfortable"
