MONTENEGRO is ANXIOUS
FOR THE WARFARE TO END
Speculation is Rife as to the
Attitude Italy Has Adopted
as to the Invasion.
: sALoNlKl is STILL SAFE
Offensive Of the Teutonic Allies
against the Allies Does Not
MateriaIize.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-It is authors
tatiyely announced today that the re-
ported offensive Of the Teutonic al
lies against Saloniki did not occur.
The rumors that the attack had been
begun against the forces of the Allies
apparently originated in the activity
Of the French in blowing up the
bridges connecting Saloniki with the
road over which the attackers would
normally travel. Bridges were de-
stroyed by the French not only at
Demir Hissar on the Struma, in the
neighborhood of Series, but also at
Killinder, south of Dorian. All the
bridges destroyed were in Greek ter
rltory.
The rumors that Austria and
Montenegro has suspended hostilities
for the purpose of discussing arrange
Montenegrin soil should be stopped
may be based simply on the fact that
the Austrian advance in Monte
negro has become SO slow that
suspicion of a suspension Of HOSTILE
tiesis naturally aroused. Many mill
tary critics, however, are of the
opinion that Montenegro is now in
such position that some form of ar
rangements with its adversary has be-
come imperative.
Speculation is rife as 10 the attl-
tude which Italy has adopted with
regard to the invasion of Montenegro
by the Austrians. which constitutes
grave menace to Italian interests. The
fact that Italy's superior fleet did not
prevent an Austrian squadron from
assisting in the reduction Of Mount
Lovcen which dominates the haroor
of Cattaro, is being commented upon
though experts admit that there is
not a sufficient basis of information
from which to draw deductions in the
matter and they suggest that ltaly's
action in the present juncture should
be awaited before judgment is passed
and that action would be naturally
kept secret as long as possible.
News Of the development in the
military operations In Galicia and
Bessarbia is awaited with much IN
teresst here and 1t is observed that
both sides are unusually reticent with
regard to the operations. Austria
usually sends out the first informa-
tlon on the military activities In that
region, but beyond general review
of the Russian offensive movement,
1t gives today but little light on the
happenings on its eastern front.
