Or Cettnje was officially announced.
Crowds paraded the streets for several
hours
Reports from Allied sources that the
Austro- Hungarian and MonteneErin

are contradicted by an official report on
Balkan operations issued by the Vienna
War Office, which states that the pursuit

Is being prosecuted.
The report, transmitted from headquar-
tsfs under date of January IA, says:
'The Montenegrins. abandoning their
Capital (CettinJe). are in retreat in the
whole south and west front. AustrO-
Hungarian troops pursuing the enemy
have passed the line of Budua-CettinjeI
Grab-Grahovo and entered Montenegrin
territory east of sBileca and near Avto-
vac.
"Austro-Hungarian troops near Grahavo
captured three cannon, with. their gun
ners: also 800 rifles, one machine gun and
quantity of ammunition
