VICTORY WON BY
AUSTRO FORCES
Mount lovCen is Captured
After Combined Attack of
WarShipS and Forts.

Associated Press Service:
LONDON, Jan. 11-Montenegro is
being treated to a steam roller at
tack similar TO that which crumpled
up its friend and neighbor, Serbia
The Austrian onslaught which has
been a long time in preparation. is
now being prosecuted with great
violence, menacing several import
ant positions close to the Adriatic
coast.
The great Montenegro strong
hold, Mount Lovcen. has fallen, ac-
cording TO Tuesday nights Austrian
official communication. The attack
here has been largely assisted by
Austrian warships and the guns Of
the Cattaro forts. In addition the
MOntenegrins say that the AUstrians
made abundant use OF asphyxiating
gas contrivances. A battle is raging
on the whole of the northern and
eastern frontiers of Montenegro. on
the east the Montenegrins have been
compelled to evacuate Berane
For the British public the latest
statements regarding the situation
ia Mesopotamia will not entirely re-
lieve the anxiety.
The British General Aylmers col
umn, which is advancing to the re-
lief OF Kut-El-Amara, has met and
repulsed a strong Turkish force, but
it's present position is by no means
satisfactory, for ii finds in front of
it a Turkish army greatly superior
in numbers. Therefore it is evident
that a successful juncture of the
two British forces, although they
are only 20 miles apart, may prove
a difficult matter.
Russians Rest on Arms.
There have been no fresh de-
veIopments on the Russian front,
where the cold weather again has
set in, the thermometer at some
points touching 20 degrees below
zero. Although for the moment the
Russians have ceased their attack
upon the AustrO-German lines from
the Pripet river to the Bessara bian
frontier, information from German
sources is that they have not given
up the venture but are merely re-
organizing their forces for another
formidable assault.
The Russians are reported as for
tifying the positions recently won
by them and in this way their front
has been gradually extended until
they occupy about "a miles of the
east bank of the middle reaches Of
the Stripa river, a position which it
is deemed here in secure against re-
capture by the Austro Germans.
French Belittle Attack.
As far as the western front is
concerned, the center of interest is
still the Champagne region. Ac-
cording to French accounts there
was clearly nothing casual or ordi-
nary about the big German attack
which the French claimed they sue
cessfully stopped. The French lines
here make a tempting salient but
the position evidently has been made
CORRESPONDENCE strong.
Paris claims that the French by
vigorous counter attacks expelled
the Germans from all except small
section Of the trenches which they
had won in Champagne.
