proposed the present organizations of
the regular army be brought up to

Iondn, Jan. 11.--Montenegr is be-
ing treated to a steam roller attack
similar to that which crumpled Of
Serbia. Austria officially announces
the capture Of Mount Lovcen, the
great Montenegro stronghold which
stood as a menace to the Austrian
naval base of Cattaro in Southern
Dalmatia. Mount Lovcen, which lies
about six miles from Cottinie, the
capital of Montenegro, is five thou
sand, seven hundred and seventy feet
high. The Austrian onslaught is be-
ing prosecuted with great violence
and threatens other important Mon
tenegrin positions. The Austrians are
making extensive use of asphyxiating
gas. The battle is raging along the
entire northern and eastern frontiers
of Montenegro.
Latest reports say the British
column sent to the relief of Kut FL
Amara has met and repulsed the
strong Turkish force, but nnds itself !
in front of greatly superior numbers
and successful juncture of the two
British forces may prove difficult.
The Russian front is quiet, but it is |
believed the Russians are resting be-
fore resuming the attacks, particu-
larly on the Bessarabian front. At |
some points on the Russian front the
has dropped to twenty
degrees below zero.

Washington county, to pay certain
unpaid taxes. Mr.. Campbell, the re-
ceiver, Immediately busted himself Ia

of paying off outstanding indebted

He secured an order from the court,
with the consent of the bondholders
of the road to sell two hundred thou
sand dollars worth of receivers GER
tificates, with which to build the road
and complete it from Chipley to
Southport, thence across the bay to

Mr.. Campbell is due quite a little
credit for his management of this
road, and especially fer his being able
to procure money with which to make
this extension of the road.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Progressive

on the same candidate for president.
The national committee of Progress
sives with forty-seven states repre-

fore adjourning the committee adopt
ed declaration of principles, in
which the administration of Wilson
was criticised for alleged failure to
deal adequately with national honor

II send you my hearty greetings.
We, as country, are facing a great
world crisis in which for the last Is
months this nation has fallen far
short of It's duty both to its own peo-
pie and to the law-abiding and JUS
tice-loving nations of mankind.
"There is crying need that we
shall cast aside all purely partisan
considerations and disregard all but
the vital issues affecting the national
life and shall strive intellectually
for sound Americanism which shall
insist that every man who is within
our borders shall be an American and
nothing else.
1--WE must do justice to our people
at home; we must insist that they
have justice when abroad.
1--WE must insist upon the most
thorough going preparedness to pro-
tect our rights against all possible
attacks by any aggressors. Such pre-
paredness is the best guarantee of
any honorable peace.
1--WE must ever remember that there
cannot be such preparedness in things
material unless there is also that pre-
paredness of soul and spirit which
alone renders nation fit to perform
its high and difficult duties in nation
al and international life.

which adopts radical instead of evo-
lutionary methods of reform"
Danger of a Democratic defeat in
the congressional elections of 1914,
he said, was 'taverted only by the
European war which brought into
sudden contrast the presidents policy
of watchful waiting regarding Mex
leo, with the mad haste of the Eu-
ropean nations as they rushed into
war, and which made that policy as
popular as it had therefore been I'M

REPEATS THIS PORT
ONE OF BEST SITES
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Mew Orleans
would be a good place for a great
naval dry dock plant, Rear Admiral
Stanford, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, told the house naval COM
mitteee today.
Although Guantanamo and Pensa-
cola offered the best sites as indi-
Gated in his testimoney yesterday, Ad-
miral Stanford said he wanted to make
it clear that there were other points
on the Atlantic coast south of Cape
Hatteras which could be developed
into good bases. Every one had a
fault of some kind however.
A floating dry dock would be better
suited to New Orleans than a craving
dock, said the admiral, owing to the
great variation in the river level.
A floating dock would require ex-
penditures to prevent rust and depre-
citation, however.
"There would be difficulty in build
ing a eating dock at New Orleans to
accommodate the largest vessels Of
the navy" said the admiral.
st would be far less difficult to
maintain a floating dock at New Or
leans than at most points, because of
of the fresh water there"
He added that New Orleans was
superior in some respects to other

mined between New Orleans and the

amount necessary to develop the New

Sanford. He added that while there
were some fcilfties at, the New Or
leans yards pw, there were no build
ing ways onwhich vessel could be

Rear Adiral Stanford said the |
navy yard sbuld be Is miles from the
sea, so as t be safe from the fire Of
hostile shiI. A vessel might have
that rangeae added, but with no re-
liable destlctive capacity.
