ALBANIA INVADED
BY FOUR ARMIES
Practically All of Montenegro DC.
cupied by Teutons.
NO MORE FIGHTING, BERLIN
Oisa rming Of Defeated Army Continues
Without interruption - Twelve
Cannon Captured by Aut-
TRANS at Scutari.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Practically all Of
Montenegro is now overrun by Austro'
Hungarian troops, and four separate
invasions of Albania are under way.
Part Of the archives of the Serbian
government were captured by the Aus
tro-Hungarian troops that occupied
| Scutari.
King Nicholas of Montenegro, who
has gone to France, has abandoned
Austrian war Office reports that there
are strong armed bands which do not
recognize the authority of the king
and which are still keeping up fight
against the Austrians.
No Anxiety Over Greece.
Military men predict that in fort
night every inch of Albanian soil, as
well as all of Montenegro and Serbia.
will be in the hands of the German
allies.
The conquest of the Balkans by the
Teutonic and Bulgarian forces has
been SO successful that anxiety over
the future policy of Roumania and
Greece has been reduced to q mini
mum in Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary.
Antivari and Dulcigno are in Aus
TRAN hands, giving the Austro-Hunga-
rian forces absolute control of all of
Montenegros territory on the Adriatic
littoral.
The seizure of the Adriatic coast has
been a bitter blow to Italy, and there
is good ground for believing that the
relations between Rome and the allied
capitals are not so cordial as they
were six weeks ago.
The next detectives of the German
allies in the Balkans are Durazzo and
Avlona (Valona), the two chief ports
on the Albanian coast. Durazzo has
always been recognized as the seat Of
the Albanian government.
Essad Pasha, the self-proclaimed
ruler Of Albania, who fed from Scutari
when the Austro-Hungarian forces ap-
preached that city, is now at Durazzo
witt. small force.
Russ at Top Speed.
Russia is using every ounce of her
military strength in the eastern the
ater of war and in Armenia and. Per-
STA to create diversion and relieve
the pressure Of the Teutonic allies in
the Balkans and the Turkish forces in
Mesopotamia. ,,..- .>. E. ........
-: No Fighting in Montenegro
Berlin, Jan. &C.. (via sayville).-The
following announcement was made at
the general headquarters of the Aus
tro-Hungarian army ~, ..,.
"All foreign reports about new
combats in Montenegro are inven-
tons. 1t is confirmed that King Mich
olas has left his country It has not
been ascertained in whose hands the
real government rests, but this is CON-
pletely without importance.
The disarming of the Montenegrin
army progresses without interruption.
At all places where Austro-Hungarian
troops arrive the Montenegro bat
talions surrender without delay.
I'm Scutari the Austro-H ungarians
captured ~ cannon, 500 rifles and two
guns"
