INVASION OF MONTENEGRO
IS PUSHED BY AUSTRIANS
Strategic Position of Mount Loycer
is Taken-To Attack Cettinge
From It's Summit.

The Austrians are continuing re-
lentlessly their invasion Of Monte
negro and have captured the strate-
gic position Of Mount Lovcen, the
guns of which dominated the Aus
trian naval and military base at Cat.
taro. For days the Austrian guns
at Cattaro and Austrian warships
from the Adriatic had been hurting
shells against the Montenegrins a:
Lovcen, the capture Of which, the
Austrians figured, not alone would
end the menace to Cattaro, but
would bring the Austrian guns with
in range Of Cettinje, the Montene-
grin capital.
The fighting in Montenegro con-
tinues all along the northern and
eastern fronts Of the kingdom and
although the Montenegrins are offer
ing a steady defense, they are being
overwhelmed by superior numbers o.!
men, guns and machine guns. Be-
rane, near the eastern frontier, is
one OF the important positions taken
by the invaders.

This supposedS order to "kill all
