 This announcement was made to tAe Hun2arian Parliament by Premier Tisza. Thus comes the first withora- wal of any belligerent from either of the alliances
 It has been conceded for days that the situation of Montenegro was critl cal Although the army of the little kingdom fought valiantly against the Austro Hpngarians, it is unequal be cause of inferior forces, lack of guns and supplies, to the task of holding back the armies that had crushed Ser bia. Gettinie, the Montenegrin capital and many of it's important towns had fallen into the hands Of the Austro- HunSarians and the invaders were OH their way to Montenegro's chief sea port, AntiVari.
 King Is Missing.

 dispatch from Rome Saturday said the Montenegrin authorities off, ciaily denied that Montenegro ntend- ed to adhere to any separate proposal of peace or te any armistice with Aua- tria. It was declared King Nicholass and his army and people would fight to the last man.
 Entered War Early.
 Montenegro entered the war August 8. 1914, when the government Of the country informed the Austrian minis ter at Cettinie that Montenegro con SlutTeG DefSeil III Il Stdte Ol Ndf N LlI Austr'a. Fer more than a year Mon- tenegro was comparatively free from hostile invaders and the MOtenegrins pushed into Austrian territory and for months held positions outside their frontier. Austrian attacks were lar -eiv confined to the southwestern frontier occasional bonlbardnents of Mount Lovcen and Antivari being the chief demonstrations against the little kingdom.
 The real drive against Montenegro began last October almost simluta- neously with the beginning of the TeG- tonic and Bulgarian operations ,hat resulted in the submission of Serbia.
