Summit of Mount Now in Aus
trian Hands Dominates
Cattaro Bay
CAPITAL is IN PERIL
Only Ten Miles Away; Tempo
rarily Lull Prevails Along
Eastern Front

London, Jan. 10. - The announce
ment of the occupation of Mount
Lovcen in Montenegro, although it is
not confirmed from entente sources, is
generally accepted here as true.
Cneasiness which is already freely
expressed in Italy is reflected in the
English and French newspapers. The
Joss OF Lovcen, from the point of view
of the allies, is serious owing to the
fact that its summit dominates
Cattaro bay, the Austrian naval base.
Before Italy entered the war, the
French had established a number of
guns on the mountain and had pre-
pared emplacements for ehavy guns
which could have swept the bay.
Austria by seizing it, torestalls this
danger and is in commanding posi-
ton with regard to Cettinje, the
capital of Montenegro when is a
little over six miles distant, although
sheltered by intervening mountains.
The Austrian advance, considering
the distance to be covered was much
slower than that made in the Teu-
sideration of the formidable obstacles
which the mountainous character of
the country presents, it is conceded
that the invaders are making steady
progress.
Nearing Capital
The question is being anXiously
raised as to why the entente allies did
not long ago send aid to the Monte
negrins, and in particular, why Italy,
which is more acutely affected by this
Austrian invasion, had not taken pre-
ventive measures. The Austrians are
now only ten miles from the capital
of Montenegro, calculating the dis
tance over the existing roads, and a
successful blow at the heart of the
country may have the effect, it is said
by military critics, of isolating the
troops who are defending the north
eastern frontier.
Gain In Champagne
In Champagne the Germans hold q
slight gain made as a result of the de-
termined offensive of last Saturday
and Sunday. The French military
authorities say that the German
forces which delivered the attack lost
| heavily, with three divisions they ad-
vanced in face of the French artillery

tack on "Watchful

Washington, Jan. II. - The
Mexican situation has been
brought to the boiling point again
bv the execution of the sixteen
or more Americans near Chi
huahua. In Congress, at the
White House and at the State De-
partment to-day it entirely dis
placed the submarine controversy
and all other international aaffirs.
Secretary Lansing after send
ing a demand for satisfaction to
General Carranza, issued state
ment declaring it was to be de-
plored that the Americans had not
followed the State Departments
warning against exposing their
lives in the guerilla warfare
region, and adding: Every step
will be taken to see that the per-
oetrators of this dastardly crime
are apprehended and punished"
Storms Break in Senate
In the Senate, an expected
storm broke as soon as it as
sernbled. Senator Sherman, Re
publican, introduced a resolution
proposing that unless General
Carranza gives proper protection
to foreign life and property the
United States should invite the
Pan-American nations which
have been associated in the Mex
lean negotiations to join in re-
storing ord Grand government in
Mexico.
Senator SheIman's resolution was
read to the Senate, and without com.
ment or discussion of any kind was
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee.

luton calling on tho president to ill
