Leonard Spray, its correspondent at

"This does not mean that by that

to the government that if hostilities
continue after that date, there will not
be left sufficient margin of money
for the empire to resume its econi-
mic life after peace is declared.
"The great representatives of Ger

pressure to bear on the government
to conclude peace before it becomes
necessary to retrench upon this mon

ing able to keep her commercial head

Therefore, they say, we must

INVITATION TO WILSON
Delegation of Virginians Calls Upon

Washington Jan. 2J-President Will

men Flood, Carlin and Glass, State
Senators Cannon and Addison and
delegates Myers, Browning, and Steck,
who were named by the Assembly.
Senator Cannon acted as spokcsmen
for the party. He expressed the long

and deliver an address to them, say
ing that they felt special pride III

President Wilson told the party Of

and invitation. and said he would coll

for speech should it be determined
later to make trip through the
Southern States similar to the one

ginning next Friday.
All that he has definitely decided
upon now, he said. is the Western trip,
but he has given considerable thought
to follow up the Western trip by Il
tour of several of the larger South

through the New England cities.

amendment offered in the Virginia
House of Delegates yesterday by
Delegate Hugh White, of Rockbridge.
Mr.. White also offered another joint
resolution for constitutional amend
ment providing for yearly sessions OF
the Legislature of 45 days duration.
Mr.. Birrell has introduced in the
house a bill to repeal chapter 273 OF
the acts of the General Assembly,
1908, entitled an act to incorporate
the town of Potomac in the County OF
Alexandria.
Promises to support the scheme for
making Virginia dry may not en-
brace the proposition to provide for
a morals commissioner to enforce the
laws to be passed at this session Of
the Legislature.
There are already signs that some
of the members Of the Legislature
who will dissent when the demand Of
the AntiSaloon League for an Office
for man of its own choosing is
handed to the General Assembly for
approval.
There are many who take the
ground that the Governor should
have authority TO enforce the law.
SO far single prohibition statute
has been submitted to the Legisla-
ture. and that has not met the APP
proval of the directing force against
liquor in that body.
Far from it. But the fact is that
the author Of that bill is one of the
dryest dry men that ever held place
in the Senate. But the bill was not
submitted to the general superintend-
ent of the anti-liquor forces, and
hence anything that does not carry
the imprimatur of this one man is
unacceptable.
The week just opening is expected
to bring the "real" prohibition bill to
the floor Of both branches of the Gen
eral Assembly. About one fourth Of
the session is already gone. From
this time on there will be much ac-
tivity around the building.

Supporters of Bill in British Parlia.
ment Simply Encouraged by News
From Stockholm.

London, Jan. 25.-France has urg.
ed England to declare an immediate
blockade, without waiting for furth-
er protests from neutrals, it was re-
ported today, on the eve of the formal
discussion of the blockade proposals
by the government in Parliament.
The pronouncement of French of
fcials has greatly strengthened the
position of Lord Charles Beresford
and other leading advocates of
stringent blockade decree. They pre-
dicted today that the sentiment in
theis favor will be disrlaydd so
strongly in the House of Commons to-
morrow that the government will be
forced to take immediate action.
The blockade advocates profess tc
have a large majority in Commons
in support of that policy. They pro-
fessed to have no definite information
as to what course the government has
decided upon, but declared that a
blockading decree should go hand in
hand with the adoption of con-
scription measure to prove to Ger
many that England is in deadly earn
est.
Reports that the Swedish Parlia-
ment has appointed a committee on
defense though. given an ominious in
terpretation in some quarters, only
gave fresh encou' '-agement to the
blockade supporters. They will ar
que in Parliament tomorrow when the
debate opens that by decisive and i'm
mediate action the government can
cut off objections from neutral sour
ces.
In a letter in the Morning Post to-
day, declaring for immediate block
ade of Germany, Lord Beresford also
protests against the action of the
British government i'll honoring pass
ports of German Americans. The Post
prints a letter from another writer
declaring that Englishmen are not
well liked in the United States and
that Great Britain should not go out
of her way to conciliate America.
The Standard declared today that
the government will make important
announcements regarding restrictions
on importations when the blockade
question comes up in Commons.

search for a negro, who at Z O'Clock
Saturday evening. attempted to com
nit an assault on Miss Pearl Morrl-

girl, the daughter of Mrs, Henry
Hatcher, of this city.
Miss Morrisett was returning to her
home on Grove street, and had just
crossed the Jefferson Street Bridge
which spans deep ravine, when a
negro suddenly sprang at her from
the darkness. Too frightened at first
to scream, she fought the negro, who
tore from her her heavy overcoat,
snatched off her hat and seized her
throat. In the struggle her hand came
in contact with long hatpin, and
she plunged it into stomach OF the
negro, who at once let go his hold
and ran away.
Half fainting, Miss Morrisett reach.
ed her home and gave the alarm. In
less than ten minutes ten policemen
were on the scene. where they found
the girls hat trampled in the mud,
her torn cloak and her bracelets and
combs lying scattered about. Red
scars on either side of her throat
show where she was checked.

SCUTAR| TAKEN
BY AUSTRIANS
Last serbo Montenegrin
Base of Resistance
Capitulates
DEFENDERS FLEEING
Towns of Niksic, Danilovgrad and
Podoritza Also In Hands OF The
Invaders.

London, Jan. 25.- The Austrians
have occupied Scutari after two-day
battle.
The fall of the last Serbo- Monteneg-
rim base appears to confirm previous
statements that no negotiations are
now proceeding between Austria and
Montenegro, as according to the re-
ports concerning the original Aus.
trian offers of peace, it was under
stood that the Montenegrins were to
hold Scutari as compensation for
Austria's occupation of Mount Low
cen.
Tclegrams from Vienna assert that
no negotiations are possible until the
Montenegrins have surrendered their
arms, but the situation is so obscure
that Lord Robert Cecil, Parliamentary
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
had to admit in the House of Com
mons today that the Government had
no knowledge of the present state oil
affairs.
The occupation Of Scutari, accord
ino TO Italian reports, followed on
desperate battle that had been raging
for two days, the Montenegrlns max
ing their final violent resistance on
the Tarabosh Mountains before Sou
tari. However, as they must nave had
but little artillery, most of their guns
having previously been captured by
the Austrians. they virtually had no
means of making an effective resist
ance. The Austrians in their lnva-
sion are no in possession of all the
chief ports and towns of Montenegro
and in addition the most important
trading town of Albania.
Scutari was occupied by Monteneg-
rim troops in June 1915, it being en-
planned in an official note issued by the
Nonteneprin Government that STRAIT
egic and political reasons lmpeiied
the Montenegrin descent on Albania.
An additional reason given was tnai
other Powers already had occupied
portions of that country.
Scutari is the most important trad
ing town in Albania and has a popu-
lation Of 10000. 1t lies on the east
hank of Lake Scutari, and has been
rebuilt since the earthquake of 1905,
During the Balkan war Scutarl was
the object of contention between Mon
tenegro and the great Powers. The
town was captured by Montenegrin
forces April %. 1913, after siege
lasting seven months.
The Powers previously had decided
TO include Scutari in the kindedom of
Albania, and King Nicholas had been
offered compensation in money and
territory on condition that he give up
the place. but the Montenegrin King
declined the offers. and announced he
would hold Scutari against the Pow
ers. AS result of his decision the
international naval blockade of the
Montenegrin coast was extended.
Later the Powers made another de-
mand on the King, and ne finally de-
cided to evacuate the town, which was
occupied by an international force,
Nav IA, 1913. Several months later
the international troops were with
| drawn.
When the Servian army retreated
before the invasion of their country
by Teutonic forces some of the Ser
Wan soldiers, on crossing the Alban-
ian frontier. proceeded to scutari,
where they joined the Montenegrins.
