Montenegro declared war on Aus

both countries. At the outset Monte

the Serbians. Despite the fact that
the Montenegrins were poorly equip

gress, they held the small portion of
invaded Austrian territory until re-

was with the ferocity of fantaticism.

The crisis in Montenegro came with
the elimination of the Teutonic cam

KING GUSTAV
ISSUES WARNING
TO THE BRITISH

Stockholm, Jan. 17.--In speech
from the throne at the opening OF
parliament today, King Gustav de-
liyered what many regarded as a
warning to England against further
acts against Swedish commerce.
The king called attention to the
alleged "usurpation of power" by the
belligerents. While he did not detail
any OF these usurpations, the remark
was regarded as significant in view Of
reports that England is about to
blockade Germany and cut off the
trade between Germany and Sweden.
"Beliigerents," he said, have neg
lected In an eyer-increasing degree in
ternational laws or the protection Of
neutrals and limiting violence in war.
Sweden more than once has been OBJ
liged to intervene against the at
tempts to put her idustrial and COM
cercial life under the usurped control
Of an other power.
His announcement was greeted
with cheers.

action. practically authorizes any one
to shoot down the bandits at sight,

Carranza a chance to demonstrate his
power to punish marauders and to
prevent future massacres.
Neither the senate nor the house

solutions, many OF which directly
propose Intervention, until late this

hopes to consider the nomination of
