,Austrians Continue their Way Southward After Taking the Capital, Cettinje. Aus trian Cruiser is Sunk.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The flag of Austro-Hungary fies over Cattinje and the victors continue their march south towards the fortified pert of Antivari, driving by force of numbers the sol diers of King Nicholas. Montenegro is encompassed on all sides. except in the south by the invaders
 If the Montenegrins are driven across the border into Albania they will face foes in the Albanian tribes men. The newly acquired positions of the Austrians, dominating the Adriatic have not sufficed to keep her warships unharmed. An Austrian cruiser of the Novara type was sent to the bottom of the Adriatic by a French submarine, operating with the Italian feet There is little fighting on any of the fronts except by big guns and sapping.
 The Entente fleet again bombarded the Turkish positions on the Gallipoii peninsula. Nothing developed of the promised attack on Saloniki. but ad- vices from there say the British and French continue to land large num- bers of troops.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-France declined for military reasons to per nit shipments of condensed milk by a charitable organization in the Unit ed States to Germany and Austria for the babies. Ambassadors Page, oi London. and Sharpe, in France, were recently authorized to inquire if the governments of the allies would per init such shipment if the American Red Cross agrees to make the distri. button and make sure the milk was used for the right purpose.
 The State Department received Sharp's report stating: "The French government on January 13 stated that on account of military regulations il is unwilling to authorize the ship ment of milk either to Germany or Austria even if the American Red Cross supervises the distribution.

 RUBBER
Four Men and One Woman h. dicted in New York on the Charge of Conspiring to Violate Customs Laws.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1i.-Four men and a woman were indicted by the federal jury on the charge of con spring to violate the customs laws by shipping contraband rubber to Ger many. Those indicted are Edward Webber. the cousin of Berlin bank CT: Paul Schmidt. Webber's partner in the rubber business: Max Jaeger. a German maker of automobile acces- sories: Mrs. Annis Dekkers. a native of Holland; and Richmond Weinberg. a naturalized citizen who operates a rubber factory.
 Assistant United States Attorney Content says Dekkers was to have been the go-between. her sex and the fact that she made many ocean trips was relied on to protect her from suspicion.
 The rubber was to be carried by her as personal baggage. it Is alleged. Four and half tons of rubber were obtained before an attempt at ship ment was made. according to Content.
 Mrs. Dekkers took passage on the liner Ryndam. bound for Rotterdam with four trunks and eight packing cases filled with rubber. marked per sonal baggage. 1t is alleged On in formation given the customs authori- ties by British agents Mrs. Dekkers' baggage was held and she was not permitted to sail

 PLOTS
Correspondence Found on Captain von Papen Evi- dence of Deep Laid Plot to Wreck Munitions Plants.
PAPERS SEIZED AT
 FALMOUTH, ENGLAND
Cheek Stubs and Bank Books Show Disposal of Large Funds for Different German Consulates.

LONDON. Jan. 14.-Copies of cor respondcnce seized from Captain von Papen. the recalled German military attache. when he reached Falmouth on his way to Germany. have been turned over to the American embassy for transmission to the State Department. They show that von Papen made ire Quent payments 10 persons charged with responsibility to blow up muni- ton works and bridges in the United States.
 One entry shows that von Papen gave s709 to Werner Horn. who was arrested in connection with the blow ing up of the Canadian Pacific bridge at St Croix. Maine. The day before this check was issued, the German embassy paid s2000 to von Pspen's ac- count. Another check stub shows that about two weeks before the explosion at Seattle on May 90. 1915. von Papen sent $500 10 the German consul at Se- attIe. On February 19. 1915. he sent $500 to the German consulate at New York City One letter from General Friederich A. J. yon' Bernshardi. dated Posen General Headquarters. referred to the pro-Gernan publicity campaign in American newspapers.
 von Papen's check stubs. bank books and letters from the Rigs NatIona. Bank, Washington. show about 800 items of many routine expenditures. Some revealed payments to persons who have figured in activities of Ger man agents in America and to at least one spy who shielded in an English prison. The bank books show that he received sS4e0 and pal dout $S0o0 in January, 1915.
 When von Bernstorff was shown dis patches telling of correspondence talk en from von Papen. he said:
 T don't believe it."
 He declined to be quoted but made it plain that he doubted any incrimi- hating documents taken from von Pa pen. although he advanced no theory as 10 how the correspondence describ- ed had been connected with him. The impression was conveyed by German diplomatic officials that von Papen wa sconnected with the documents by British agents. their argument being that it is incredible that von Papen would have carried such cOrrespon- ience. knowing the ship would be in a British port.

COYOTES WILL GO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.- Rabies infected coyotes in the mountain district of Northern California, are travelling in packs. They are attacking towns driving the residents to the trees and moving trains; chewed iron gates; attacked sheep herders, farmers, hunters, and school children. and have given scientists the first chance to study the actio nof crazed CO., votes, according to the reportof Dr. George Ebright, president of the state board of health, re- ceived.
 In many small mountain towns in Modoc and Lassen counties, Ebright says, the entire commu- nifty has been drivento shelter when packs of coyotes ran out from the wilderness to attack any living thing that crossed their path. The schools in many of the remote sections of the counties bordering on Nevada and Oregon have been closed.

 CHANCE
Apprehension and Punish ment of Murderers of Amer jeans will be Left to De Fac to Government.
 ADMINISTRATION MEN
 MAINTAIN POSITION. Republicans Urging Interven- ton Are Accused of Insin- cerity; Carrancistas Show Disposition to Aid.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-The Car ranza de facto government will be giv-
 en full opportunity, without interven- ton of the United States, to capture
 the murderers of Americans at Santa
 Ysabel and demonstrate their ability
 to. restore order and protect foreign
 rights in Mexico. This was the out standing fact after the meeting of the cabinet and conference of the Presi- dent and Chairman Stone of the Sen ate foreign relations committee. and another day of stirring debate in the Senate. Administration leaders in the Senate firmly outlined the position of the government to face denunciation from the Republicans side Senator Works, Republican. proposed a reso- lution directing intervention. No di- rect communication from Carranza reached the State Department
 Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas, sador designate. announced the dis patch of troops to capture the out laws and Carranzas purpose to visit "condign punishment on every partici- pant in the massacre" This message is regarded as indicating the character of the reply to Secretary Lansing's representations. which are expected by tomorrow. The Mexican embassy is without other advices regarding the bord;t hunt Naporo1 nhraoo,, cold TO be at Queretaro. where he had been summoned for conference. He is likely to remain there The work of hunting the Villa forces in Chihuahua will be left to Generals Gavira and Trevino.
 Measures to facilitate the removal of Americans from the district where their lives might be in danger were discussed with Arredondo who later telegraphed Carranza that every assis- tance would be given Americans and escorts provided to accompany them into cities where strong garrisons are maintained Arredondo went further than Lansing suggested, recommend ing forcible removal of foreigners to points of safety in case they objected. The Department is advised that a large number of Americans are leav ing northern Mexico.
 It is estimated that, not including the Mormons at Casas Grandes, there are still at Parral, Durango. Madeira and other points more than 300. It is feared a majority of these will remain despite warnings. Lansing stated the United States would protect the Amer jeans remaining ito the best of it's ability but in such cases the govern ment would not feel obliged to use force where the people are indiscreet' Lansing compared the situation in Mexico to that in Europe at the begin ming of the war when Americans were ordered out by the State Department. This elicited positive declarations from Stone and Lewis that there would be no countenancing of de mands from Republicans for interven- tion Both charged the Republicans with insincerity.

The Turks say they discovered the enemy's retreat, launched an attack and bombarded the landing stages.
