LONDON, Jan. 11.-Montenegro is
 being treated to a steam-roller at tack similar to that which crumpled up it's friend and neighbor, Serbia. The Austrian onslaught which has been a long time in preparation, IS now being prosecuted with great violence, menacing several important
 positions close to the Adriatic coast. The Montenegrin stronghold Mount Lovcen, has fallen, according to to-
 nights official Austrian statement.
 The attack here has been largely
 assisted by Austrian warships and the guns of the Cattaro forts. In addi-
 tion, the Montenegrins say the Aus trians made abundant use of asphyX- iating gas. A battle is raging on the whole of the northern and eastern frontiers of Montenegro. On the east the Montenegrins have been con- peIled to evacuate Berane.
 1 For tEe British public, the latest
 statements regarding the situation in | Mesopotamia will not entirely relieve ] the anxiety. British General Aylmer' $ l column, which is advancing to the re-
 lief of Kut- Fl -AmaTa, has met and
 repulsed a strong Turkish force, but
 it's present position is by no means 1 satisfactory, for it finds ill front of l 1t a Turkish army greatly superior in numbers Therefore it is evident that
 a successful juncture of the two Brit l ish forces although they are only
 twenty miles apart. may prove dit-
 ficult matter.
 There have been no fresh develop ments on the Russian front where
 cold weather again has set in, the
 thermometer at some points touching 1 20 degrees below zero. Although 1 temporarily the Russians have ceased i their attack upon the Austro Ger
 man lines, from the Pripet river to

 THAT WHICH CRUMPLED SERBIA

the Bessarabian frontier, information from German sources is that they are merely recognizing their forces.
 The Russians are reported as forti-
 them, and in this way their front has
 been gradually extended until they
 occupy about thirty-foGr miles of the east bank of the middle reaches of
 the Stripa river, d position which it
 is deemed here IS secure against re- capture by the Austro- o-Germans.
 So far as the western front is con cerned, the center of interest is still
 the Champagne region. According to French accounts. there was clearly nothing casual or ordinary about the big German attack which the French claimed they successfully stopped. The French lines here make a tempt ing salient, but the position evidently has beer made correspondingly strong. Paris claims that the French by vigorous counter attacks expelled the Germans from all except a small sec ton of the trenches which they had won in Champagne.
 i The domestic crisis over the gov ernment's compulsion bill has be-
 come much less tense, and it is now predicted freely that the government and the labor party may again be 1 placed on friendly terms and that ] the expected break in the coalition
 ministry may be prevented. John ! Redmond announced in parliament to-
 day that the nationalists would not
 further oppose the military service ! bill.
 The resignations of Arthur Hender- son, president of the board of edu-
 cation, and his two labor colleagues
 from the ministerial councils, have
 not yet been accepted.

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 11.-Reit erating his previous announcement that he intends to retire to private life, United States Senator John D. Works also goes on record as against a large standing army, in a letter just received by Dr. R. F. Winchester, of this city.
 After commenting on the importance of this nation remaining strictly neut- ral, the senator writes:
 "I am afraid we are being forced by interested parties, through the hys- teria and fears of disinterested people, to enact some legislation materially changing our standing army and other war forces. l do not like it in the least A large standing army is in imical to our free institutions and ob- noXious to the free ideals of free thinking people l hope we may avoid it but the prospect of doing so is not flattering just now"
