Berlin, Jan. IS. by wireless to Say ville.-"Berlin newspapers says the Overseas News Agency, "in expressing g satisfaction over surrender of Mon tenegro, point to the political ab1ll- ties of King Nicholas and recall the fact that the Emperor of Russia call ed him his unique friend
 "It is argued by the press in it's comment that if King Nicholas was disinclined to follow the example of King Peter of Serbia, who at his home in an Italian palace, they say, awaits a final victory of his allies af- ter having been deserted by them. the reason is that he considers the entente cause lost.
 i "The newspapers also now find ln explanation for the nervous agitation at the Italian court during the last ] few days, it being thought probable that the heir apparent to the Mon tenegrin throne, Prince Danielo Alex ander, was preparing his relatives there for the event about to take place."
 '"The general opinion expressed is that King Nicholas had. asked from Italy help which she was unable to render, as we'll as from France and Great Britain whose vessels have for some time been avoiding the east coast of the Adriatic.
 Commenting on the military con- sequences of Montenegro's submis- sion, the newspapers point out that the roads to Antivari and Scutari are now open, and that by determined strokes Austria Hungary has shatter- ed the whole political structure rear cd by Italy in pursuance of her ef- forts to drive Austria Hungary from the Adriatic."

Washington, April 24.-If adver-
tisers use the mails to make their
customers believe that they will re-
ceiye more than they actually do,
they are guilty Of fraud, according to
a ruling of the United States supreme

the fact that the customers received
"their moneys worth" did not miti-
gate the offense.
The decision was rendered in re-
versing the district court of southern
Florida, which quashed the indict-
ments against officials Of the New
South Farm and Home company. The
indictments charged unlawful use of
the mails in selling ten-acre farms,
