Lcndon reports of today are to the effect that advices of undoubted authenticity have been received at the British war office, stating that Montenegro has asked Austria to grant her an armistice This Is taken to mean that the little noun tain kingdom. after having fought iEdomitably against the inevitable for more than year, is about to capit- ulate. The news was not entirely unexpected in London, as word was received there from King Nicholas several weeks ago asking permis- sion of the allies to conclude a sep arate peace in the event that 1t proved to be impossible for him to trians, as the king did not want his country to meet the same fate as did Serbia and Belgium. The Austrian troops are stated to be at the gates of hntivari, and it is pre- dicted that, unless Montenegro agrees to "aaitulate, Cettinje, the capital of the small kingdom, will soon fall.
 Very little news concerning the battle now in progress before Salo- niki is getting through the censor, recording to dispatches from Rome However, it is asserted that a battle of immense proportions Is in pro gress The force of Teutonic allies attacking the defenses of the city
 is much stronger than that of it's defenders, although the British and French armies are being continually reinforced by troops brought from the Gallipoli peninsula. The Teu- tons are also receiving reinforce. ments of Bulgarian and Turkish troops and they have ample oppor- tunity to bung up all kinds of heavy artillery with no fear of op- position. German generals are said to be in command of the Teutonic fOroes.
