London, Jan. Montenegro, follow
ing the breaking off OF peace negotia-
tions with Austria. has resumed opera
tions, IT was announced In Rome to-
night. King Nicholas and his sons have
again taken their places at the head of
their troops, determined TO fight TO the
last rather than submit TO the igno-
minious terms offered by the Central
Powers.
over the developments in Greece the
veil of the censorship continues to be
drawn tightly. The time limit Of the
ultimatum, said to have been presented
by the Allies two days ago, has ex-
pired. but it is not known what action
has followed.
That the position Of King Constan-
tine and the pro-German party is des-
perate, however, is the conclusion
drawn here from the royal interview
given out in Athens yesterday TO an
Associated Press correspondent.
The attacks made upon the Entente
policy in the Balkans contain all the
evidence, it is pointed out. OF recrim
nation for the silent pressure which
the Allies have exerted on Greece. This
has s,-eady gone so far as To seriously
weaken The position OF the throne IT,
self, though Il Is not believed that the
Entente powers have committed them
selves TO the Venlzelos movement for
the overthrow Of the King.
The interview Of King Constantine
occupies a prominent place in this
mornings newspapers. "The Daily
News which makes the interview its
main news feature under the heading,
AN Angry Outburst blythe King Of
Greece" also says Of it editorally:
at Is sbundantly evident from the
interviews granted by King Constantine
TO German and American journalists
that the businesslike measures the En-
tente Allies are taking for their protec-
tion have inspired the King with lively
resentment. That is not altogether as
tonishing.
"The conditions under which the
Allies are encamped and. soon will be
lighting on neutral soil are an anomaly
without parallel in modern warfare,
and involve in attitude equally anoma-
lous toward the neutrality of Greece.
Apart from the occupation OF the Sa-
lonica zone her railways have been cut,
bridges blown up, certain Of her ISL
ands borrowed and consuls accredited
to her put under temporary arrest.
"Such facts cannot and need not be
disguised They call for no defence
from the Allies, as Greece has no one
to thank but herself"
"The Daily News argues that
Greece broke faith with Serbia and
that she was responsible for the loss
of the Gallipoli Peninsula by breaking
a promise. and olso that the occupa-
tion of Saloniki had been at the in
vitation of Greece.
III German submarines have bases
on the Greek coasts" "The Daily
News" adds, they must be hunted
out: II the Greek railways serve the
PURPOSES of the Austrians and Bull
garians they must be obstructed or de.
stroyed. That was the obvious and
necessary corollary OF the Allies sc-
ceptance Of the invitation Of VI. Neni-
zelos 10 land at Salinica. And when
King Constantine likens his country to
Belgium he shows himself strangely
careless of his reputation for honesty
and common sense
The Italian government has decided
10 extend generous aid toward the re-
organization of the remnants OF the
Serbian army. II is said that fully 5o:ooV
Serbians have already reached a refuge
in Corfu. The Stefani Agency an
nounces that the King of Italy, during
his recent visit to Brindisi, held con-
ference with the Serbian ministers who
had arrived there.
An official French statement, received
here to-day by wireless from Paris
