War SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
CIATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 19.-Special: Be
set on the north, east and west by
Austro-Hungarian armies, and with
all lines OF retreat cut off, except in
to Albania, where hostile tribesmen
must be faced, Montenegro has asked
Austro-Hungarry for peace, and her
request has been granted. The un-
conditional laying down of arms by
Montenegro was made the basis of
peace negotiations, and Montenegro
accepted these terms imposed by the
dual monarchy.
This announcement was made to
the Hungarian parliament by Pre-
mier TisZa, and it met with an ova-
ton on the part of the members of
the chamber. Thus comes the first
withdrawal OF any %belligerent from
either of the alliances that have been
fighting with each other since Au-
gust, 1914.
1t has been conceded for days that
the situation of Montenegro was a
critical one. Although the army Of
the little kingdom fought valiantly
against the Austro-Hungarians, it
was unequal. because of inferior
forces, lack of guns and 1t has been
stated, a shortage in commissionary
supplies. to the task of holding back
the armies that had, in conjunction
with their allies. succeeded in crush
ing Serbia. Already the Montene-
grin capital and many of its impor-
tant towns had fallen into the hands
of the Austro-Hungarians, and the
invaders were well on their way to
Montenegro's chief seaport-Anti-
vary.
Last accounts had the Montenegro
government at Scutari. The where
abouts of the king is not known.
The British and Russians in Me-
sopotamia and the Caucasus region
respectively, are pressing the Turks
hard. The army of King George.
coming %northward from the Persian
gulf TO the relief of the British forces
at Kut-el-Amara, has driven the OF
tomans TO within six miles of the be-
leagured town in TiRris.
The Russians, in their drive along
the front of nearly 100 miles in the
Caucasus, have won additional points
Of vantage from the Turks, especial
ly in the Arasa and Sind valley re-
gions. Constantinople admits this,
but says that south of the Arasa
heavy casualties were inflicted on the
Russians.
on the other fronts little fighting
of moment has taken place. The
British and French guns in France
and Belgium have been busy bonn
harding German trenches, while on
the Russian front there has been
fighting only at isolated points, from
the Riga region to B%ukowina.
The Italians, through a concentrat-
ed artillery fire near Oslvia, taken
from them recently by the Austro-
Hungarians, have forced out the in
vaders and again occupied their for
mer positions.
According to the semi-official
Overseas News agency of Berlin, en-
tente allied troops have landed at
Phaleron, a port five miles southwest
Of Athens and once the port of the
Greek capital. The Berlin newspa-
pers, the news agency says, attribute
this as part of preparations looking
to the overthrow of King Constantine
and the placing of Eliphtherios Ven
i%zelos, the former premier. who al
ways has sided with the entente
powers, at the head of a Greek re-
public.

"The Little Country Theatre"

From "Drama for Rural Communities"
by Alfred G. Arvold. in the American
Review of Reviews.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture recently sent out hundreds
of letters to farmers wives asking
then, what would make life on the farm
more attractive. Hundreds Of the re-
plies, which were received from prac-
ticaliy every section, told the story OF
social starvation. They wanted some
place to go. They wanted to be enter
tanned. Moral degeneracy in the coun-
try, like the city. is usually due to
lack of proper social recreation. When
people have something healthful with
which to occupy their minds they
rarely thing of wrongdoing.
The impulse of building up COM
munity spirit in a rural neighborhood
may come from without, but the real
work OF socialization must come from
within. The country people themselves
must work out their own civilization.
