MONTENEGRO ARMY
IS IN GRAVE DANGER
Austrians Making Drive to
Prevent Its Reaching Port
On the Adriatic
BY Henry Wood.

(United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
Rome. Jan. 24-Remnants of the per-
sistent little Montenegrin army are in
grave danger of capture.
After occupying the Montenegrin
seaports of Antivari and Dulcigna, the
Austrians are heading eastward to cut
off the retreat of the Montenegrins to
the Adriatic from Scutari, for if the
defenders escape and reach San Giov-
ANNA di Medu, ships will carry them to
Corfu.
AS rapidly as possible, the Serbians
in Albania are heading for this Greek
city, Within fortnight only Italian
troops in Albania will dispute with the
Austrians the possession of the eastern
Adriatic coast
Montenegrin officials confirmed re-
ports that King Nicholas adopted the
ruse of getting an armistice from the
Austrians in order to gain time for a
retreat, As result Of this it is believed
the Austrians will wreak bloody ven.
geance upon civilians when the trick
comes to their knowledge.

TO INQUIRE OF TURKEY
CONCERNING PERSIA
If Turkey Did Not Sink the
Persia 90 Evidently She
Was Not Sunk

Washington, Jan. 24-The United
States will inquire of Turkey regard
ing any knowledge she may have Of the
sinking of the P. and 0. liner Persia
Secretary of State Lansing said to-
day.
This announcement followed publica-
tion of press reports that Turkey was
the nation responsible for the destruc-
tion of the vessel, with loss Of over
100 lives including that of American
Consul McNeely.
Germany reported that her subma-
rines had returned to their bases and re.
ported they had nothing to do with the
Persia case; Austria has tentatively
reported she did not torpedo the YES
sci.
Ambassador Morgenthau at Constan-
tinople will ask the Turkish government
for information as Ambassador Penfield
asked Austria in case the latter the re-
ports, as anticipated, that she is ignor-
ant of how the torpedoing occurred.
With Austria and Germany eliminat-
ed, Turkey remains the only possibility.
Lansing indicated that this inquiry has
been planned from the outset. The de-
partment thinks that the inquiry prob
ably will not develop anything new, but
it win make the investigation complete

IMPERIAL VALLEY
/ RAILROADS QUIT;
FLOODS NOT OVER
Break In Leyee Lets Another
Flood Pour Down Through
Valley
CREST OF TORRENT DUE
AT VOLCANO LAKE TODAY
Damage at Yuma From Over
flow Quarter Of Minioli-
Death Toll Four

Yuma, Ariz., Jan. 2l.-As the Colo
RADIO and Gila river flood waters reced-
ed today the damage in the valley here
was estimated at $250,000 with four
reported dead. One is known to have
perished. A second flood crest is report
ed advancing upon the city, due to
reach here this afternoon.
Mexicans driven from their homes in
the lower end of town by the deluge are
being sheltered in tents and shacks
above the high water mark, on The site
Of Yuma's new business district. 1t is
intended to abandon the present flooded
business section and rebuild as soon as
possible on land 25 feet above the dan
ger mark.
Reports from the Imperial valley indi-
cate that all dams gates and levees are
holding except the California Develop
ment company lcvee which broke and
let the waters rush through.
AS the water IN the river is falling,
however, little damage has been done.
Railroads in Arizona and through the
Imperial valley are completely demoral-
lied. AN effort was made to route
trains through branch line on the
Mexican side Of the line, but 1t failed
and all cars were turned back.
Several parties of refugees, driven
from little ranching communities in the
paths of the floods, arrived here TO.
day. They reported that there were a
number Of other wandering bands on
their way here.
These people are destitute. Their
homes and lands have been swept away.
In many cases they drive before them
small punches of cattle and carry house
hold goods on their backs. One such
band numbers rs, including many wo.
men and children.
Stories told today by those who fled
from danger points show that many
lives were probably saved by couriers
who rode ahead Of the suddenly rising
waters, carrying warning.
This was especially true at the Six.
teen Mile post. Government employees
fled on horseback, escaping with their
lives but losing everything in camp.
The protection works in the Volcano
Lake region are believed sufficiently
strong to withstand the shock of the
torrent, but the crest Of the flood is
not due there until today.
A $4,000 bond issue may be voted
here for repair and relief work.
