has been plucked, out of a maze of
legal sounding words, "whereases" and
"wherefores" and the like, the follow

About a year ago young Chilcoate
became infatuated with a Miss Lulu
Bond, now said to reside on Easthaven

possible. He decided to adorn her

ROME, Jan. 19.-That King Nicho-

DENY CHARGE OF TREAcHERY.
PARIS, Jan. 19.-Charges that Mon.
tenegro had been guilty of treachery
to the entente allies were denounced
as 'basely untrue" at the Montenegrin
legation here today. The legation
confirmed the Vienna announcement
that the Montenegrin army had capi-
tulated but issued an official state.
ment saying that Montenegro sur
rendered only because the munitions
of the army were exhausted.
According to advices from Geneva
the forces that fell into the hands of
the Austro-H Hungarian troops as a re-
sutl of the surrender numbered 3d.
900 infantry and LOO artillerymen.
General Koevess, the Austrian COM
mander, had demanded that the Serv.
ians fighting with the Montenegrins
also surrender, but most of the Serv-
ians succeeded in escaping across the
Albanian border, the Geneva dis
patches state.

ON APPROACHES

The following has been submitted
by DR.. l. S. Harold relative to the
Main street bridge:
The old covered bridge built in 1884
by the government. that spanned the
river where the >resent temporary
bridge is located, vas only about 100
feet in length. The fills to the east
and west could properly be called the
approaches to the bridge.
On account of the increased traffic
and the building up of West Richmond
there arose an agitation for the build
ing of a level bridge from the bluff
on the west side of the river to Third
street on the east. BY some sleight of

Second-The diplomatic situation in

Third-The surrender of Montene-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Great Bri
tain's plan to tighten her blockade
against Germany may create a new
problem to perplex American diplom
acy. but the added restriction imposed
probably will not have the effect OF
reducing to any great extent the trade
of the United States with neutrals, &C
cording to the view expressed today
by acting Secretary of Commerce Ed
win E. Sweet.
"England's action brings us face tc
face with another situation-the pos
sible dangers of which, to American
trade. cannot be definitely foretold al
this early stage. but it is inconceivable
that the nations commerce shall suf
fer greater hardships through the stop
