WAR SUMMARY

The Balkans continue to take precedence
in the war news, both Montenegro and
Greece being points of notable interest
The situation in each is somewhat cloud
ed by the paucity of direct news and the
decided conf1ictions in such advices as are
received
Further reports regarding the resump-
tion of hostilities between Montenegro and
Austria, following the rejection of peace
terms by the former, are lacking and there
is small disposition in Teutonic quarters
even to admit that there has been any
break in the negotiations.
In the field of war in Asia dispatches
last night from Petrograd claim further
Successes for the Russians against the
Turks in the Caucasus campaign, the Rus
sian official statement declaring that the
Turkish army had been defeated and was
