IL convinced that the Allies cause is

The London papers do not regard the
Montenegrin surrender as OF permanent
value to the victors. They point out that
Montenegro's resistance to the Austro-
German hordes was hopeless at tho out

"However much local considera tions

however much 1t may have been facili-
tated by subterranean relations. II is
inquest ionable that the surrender would
not have occurred but for the German
