Since War Began.
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 17.-Beset on the
east, west and north by the Austrians
and with all lines of retreat severed,
except into Albania, where hostile
tribesmen must be faced, the little
kingdom of Montenegro has asked
for and received of Austria uncondi-
tional peace.
This announcement was made in the
Austrian parliament today, according
to serni-official advices from Berlin.
This, if true, is the first withdrawal
of any belligerent from either of the
alliances which have been fighting
since August, 1914.
That Montenegro is seeking peace,
however, was not confirmed from en-
tente sources, and from Switzerland
comes the report that Austria had
offered peace terms, but Montenegro
had refused them. For days, how
ever, the plight of the. Montenegrins
had been desperate with the capital
and many cities taken and the army
exhausted.

ing held merely as &C orroborate

charge, if any, had been lodged
against Irving, the elder son.
According to statement, the POI
lice have served a senographic re-
port of conversation between the
young men in the Updike garage,
gave details of an alleged plot to
kill Mr.. and Mrs. Updil1e because the
police say, the son feared his father
would change his viii and leave the
greater portion of his estate to
other members Of the family.
Herbert, the younger son, accord
ing to the police, entered into the
alleged plot with the intention of
frustrating it. 1t was Herbert who
reported the matter to the police.
Irving told me first he was going
to kill father and mother more than
a year ago." the younger son told
the police. eve used to go down IN
the basement nights and talk
about it"
When arrested, according to the
police Irving first tried to implicate
his brother, and then made a COM
plete confession. The officers were
hidden in the garage, where they took
a stenographic report of the CONVEX
sation between the brothers, and
later, they say, the yfound shot
gun, and two automatic pistols,
equipped with silencers.
