Berlin. Jan. 23.-tBy Wireless to
Sayville).-The following was given
out for publication today by the
Overseas News Agency:
In connection with the peace ne
Gotiations in Montenegro the Nord-
deutsch Allggemeine Zeitung publishes

the war began secret negotiations
We're in progress between Serbia and
Montenegro concerning the formation

secret. but fostered the plan. She of
fered assistance in the way of funds
and military instructors in order to
increase the fighting strength of Mon

The long standing antagonism of
Serbia and Montenegro toward Austria
makes it evident that these negotia-

policy Of Russian Slavism.-
This is the more astonishing in
view of the fact that Germany main
tanned a friendly attitude toward Rus
STA after the Russo Japanese war and
sought establishment Of the cordial
relations which had been traditional
for decades. The reasons why Russia
declined to fall in with Germany's
wishes have not been known until
now.
These reasons had to do with the
state of affairs in Russia. At that
time, the Russian government above all
else feared a revolutionary movement.
In order to ensure maintenance Of the

Supporters Gratified

Democratic leaders thoroughly in
sympathy with the Presidents views
on preparedness are gratified over the
purpose Of the Chief Executive to take
the field, inasmuch as there has been
apparent in Congress for some time,
tendency to adopt a waiting policy
among many members uncertain re-
garding the views of their constit
uents on the subject. The Presidents
tour it is believed, will serve the
double purpose of bringing out public
opinion and stirring up members or
Congress.
Opponents Waiting
On the other hand. opponents Of
preparedness see in the Presidents
trip an opportunity to further their
case by replying to his arguments in
the Senate and House.
Mexican Situation Relieved
Uneasiness over the Mexican situation,
which stirred Congress for more than a
week. has greatly abated and probably
will not be revived soon unless sensation
al developments should occur in Mexico.
Administration leaders regard the dam
ger of being forced into difficulties with
Carranza averted for the present and
even Republicans of the Senate have con.
cluded not to force the issue of interven-
ton at this time. Senator Borah, one OF
the foremost believers in the necessity
Of military action in Mexico by the Unit
ed States, has decided that there is moth
ing to be done at this time. When the
Senate foreign relations committee de-
clined to act on intervention resolutions
last week, Senator Borah had contem-
plated motion to discharge the commit
tee from further consideration of the res
olution. but a canvass of the Republic
cans showed them almost unanimously
against such a movement.
Democratic leaders in both houses ex-
pect Mexican speeches to be made now
and then as a matter of course but they
are satisfied that the situation is in their
control for the present at least. Some
time during the week Rep. Humphrey OF
Washington is expected to make speech
policy. Moreover. President Wilson's re-
ply to the Senate in which a mass of
detail regarding Carranza and Mexico
will be included, probably will arouse the
| interest of Congress again. 1t Is prob
able now that this reply will not be sent
to the Senate until the President returns
from his western tour.
Interest still is apparent at the capitol
in the European situation, but no legisla-
tive action is looked for. Embargo reso-
| lutions have been submitted to a sub
committee on foreign relations and no
report is anticipated for some time.
With regard to legislation in general,
both houses propose to travel slowly,
notwithstanding efforts of administration
leaders to speed up the legislative ma
chinery.
The immigration bill with its literacy
test will be reported this week.
Peace advocates will be given a hear
Ing Tuesday by the foreign affairs COM
mittee. when resolutions looking to for
nation Of peace commissions will be un-
der consideration.

Boston. Jan. 23.-The fremont theatre,
the Oldest playhouse in the city staging

believed to have started the fire. Frank
Orvitt. assistant treasurer of the theatre,
first noticed an illumination back of the
stage, but until it began to jump titfully

the place was on fire, he dashed to a
nearby engine house and pulled the first
of four alarms which were sounded.
The arrival of the apparatus found the
