Beset on the north, east and west
by Austro- Hungarian armies and
with all lines of retreat cut off. ex-
cept into Albania, where hostile
tribesmen must be faced, Montenegro
has asked Austria-H Hungary for
peace. and her request has been
granted. The unconditional laying
down of arms by Montenegro was
made the basis of the opening of
peace negotiations. and Montenegro
acc epted these terms imposed by the
dual monarchy.
This announcement was made 10
the Hungarian parliament by Pre-
mier Tisza, and it met with an Ova-
tion on the part of the members of
the chamber. Thus comes the first
withdrawal of any belligerent from
either of the alliances that have
been fighting with each other since
August. 1914.
+ II had been conceded for days
that the situation of Montenegro
was a critical one. Although the

International News Service:
ROME, Jan. 1S.-Austria' s official
announcement of the unconditional
surrender of Montenegro created a
profound impression in Italy. 1t is
taken as a foregone conclusion that
the peace terms will give Austria
control of Mount Lovchen, the rocky
eminence which controls the gulf of
Cattaro. With Mount Lovchen in
possession of Austria. the age long
dream of Italy for absolute control
OF the Adriatic is shattered unless
the Italian armies can smash the
Austrian defenses and cut their way
out through to Trieste.
In return for Lovchen, Austria
will probably tell Montenegro she
may have Scutari, but Scutari at the
present time is held by Albanian
and Serbian troops and is under
austrian domination.

SEES A BOOMERANG
IN EIGHT-H0UR LAW
Samuel p. Dunn Says 1t Fixes
Standard Payday Only.

Mackinac Island, Mich, Sept. 10
Samuel =. Dunn, OF Chicago, editor OF
railroad magazine. who acted in an
advisory capacity 70 the railroad presl-
dents in the negotiations which pre-
coded the passage of the Adamson law,
suggested in speech here tonight
that the eight-hour law may prove
boomerang to the brotherhoods. He as
serted that the law fixes an eight-hour
payday and not an eight-hour workday.
This law" said Mr.. Dunn, docs not
limit the number OF hours that railway
employees may work in a day. II merely
limits the number of hours that The
railway may require them - work be-
fore il pays them days wage. In
other words, it fixes an eight-horr pay
day and not an eight-hour wcrkday.
at is certain that under this law, II
il should be upheld, the railways would
have 20 pay days wage for eight
hours work, but is it not equally OBJ
vious that the law prohibits them from
paying any employe in the train service
4 DAVIS wage before he has done at least
eight hours work? II says eight hours,
no more and no less, shall be the stand
ard. It would appear. therefore. that
under this provision, if the railways
should pay any employc a day; wage
for less than eight hours work they
would violate the law and subject them
selves to its pains and penalties"
Many trainmen in passenger service,
Il is said, receive full pay for less than
eight hours work.

Let the Progressives throughout the

Jacob Livingston Declares
Neutrality in Senate
Primary.
CALLED BY BARNES
TO SUPPORT BACON
'Gentleman's Agreement
on Controller Travis
Seems Fractured.

Jacob Livingston, Republican leader
of Kings, announced yesterday that he
would remain neutral in the fight be-
tween William NJ. Calder and Robert
Bacon for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator.
As Livingston had been regarded by
Calder's adherents as favorable to the
aspirations of their chief, his decision
to remain aloof in the struggle was a
distinct shock to them.
Livingston has deserted Calder"
was the cry they raised yesterday.
Men in sympathy with the Repub-
lican leader asserted this charge was
unjust. They said Livingston could
not have deserted Calder, since he had
never made a pledge 10 uphold him
The only combination there has been
between the two forces, they say. was
"gentleman's agreement"
At the beginning OF the contest the
leaders of the Bacon and Calder forces
got together and agreed not TO hght
each other personally. At that time
Livingston. who is William Barnes's
representative in Brooklyn, announced
he could not support Calder, but at the
same time il was agreed there should
be no public announcement OF the faet'
In this way, it was figured out, the
Calder men could be induced to make
no fight on State Controller Eugene NJ.
Travis, candidate for reelection, who is
opposed by James NJ Hooker. OF
Schenectady, who is q friend OF both
Livingston and Barnes. Had Livingston
publicly announced mis- support OF Rob,
ert Bacon, the Calder followers would
have leaped TO Hooker Immediately and
carried him along with their own can
didate.
Livingston has been on vacation
and while he has been away Barnes
stepped into the Kings situation and
began lining up his friends for Bacon
The Calder men, who profess to know
rothing about the earlier agreement
figured that as soon as the Kings
leader returned he would set at rest
whispered stories that he was for Ba-
con by declaring for Calder.
Stories that Charles f. Hughes in his
tour through New York State would
ignore Governor Whitman and Calder
if the latter should receive the Repub'
lican nomination for United States Sen
ator at the primaries, were denied yes
terday following a conference OF state
leaders here Chairman Willccx, of the
Republican National Committee. said
Hughes on September % would make a
speech on behalf Of Whitman and the
state ticket at the unofficial Republican
convention in Saratoga.

SENDS RADIO SIGNALS
IN NIGHT FLIGHTS
Aaviator Flies Two Hours in
Dark Near San Diego.

San Diego, Cal. Sept. 13.-Night
flights for experimenting in the trans
mission of radio signals from aero,
planes are being made at North Island
by Captain c. c. Culver, holder of the
worlds long distance radio transmits
sion record from an aeroplane.
With Lieutenant Herbert Dargue as
pilot Captain Culver has flown for al
most two hours each night. The aero
plane ascends several thousand feet,
but keeps within easy gliding distance
of North Island. where signal fires
indicate a safe landing place.
Tests in receiving long distance
radio signals are also being made.
The perfect atmospheric conditions
prevailing after nightfall makes avia,,
tors believe signals can be received
from stations north of Los Angeles
and from coastwise steamers.
