Citizens To Be Heard Today

troll OF the school system will be reached
this morning. when representatives of
the forty civic orga nizations that have
adopted resolutions opposing the suggest

mistakable language.
The occasion will be the opening OF a
two-days' hearing on the question of the
proposed change. 1t will be before Rep

That the fight will be drawn out is as
sumed from the fact that many Dis

on the matter and therefore are not

Declares Ruler
Betrayed Allies
R. Mackenzie, Rome Writer,
Says Nicholas, Of Monte
negro, Aided Austrians.
BY r. MACKENZIE.


Rome, Jan. B-Reports that the
Montenegrins were heroically fighting the
Austrisns were false, On the contrary.
they were secretly aiding them. They
even informed the Austrisns of the ar
rival of ships conveying provisions and
munitions from Italy. thus enabling the
Austrian submarines to sink the vessels.
King Nicholas has been secretly leagued
with the Austrians since October and
practically solicited invasions of his
country. which he betrayed with the
object of concluding a separate peace.
This explanation fully justiies the at
ttude of the allies, who knew that to
aid Montenegro. would be worse than
useless. Had they supplied guns and
ammunition to the Montenegrins, they
would simply have fallen into the
Austrians hands.
King Nicholas alone is responsible for
betraying his country. The majority o.
the Montenesrins, including his sons, are
opposed to separate peace, which Is
bound to lead, sooner or later, to the
dethrenement Of the King.

SPECIAL Gable to The Washington Herald
London, Jan. R-The Holland-Ameri-
can liner Ryndam. which met with a
mysterious accident In the English Chan
mel. arrived late tonight at Grayesend.
The liner has heavy list to starboard
and was down low In the water at the
bow.
Some secrecy is being maintained re-
garding the accident All of the pas
sensers who did not land at Falmouth
were kept aboard tonight, in accordance
with official instructions.
According to official announcement,
none Of the passengers were injured In
the accident, although It is admitted that
three stokers were killed and four others
seriously injured.
The liner left New York on January
with Isl Passengers The first intjma-
ton that she had met with an accident
came today when she passed South End.
1t was then noticed that she listed badly.
Offers of assistance were refused.
Nothing has been announced as vet
as to the cause of the accident. Some
rumors were current that 1t was
caused either by an internal explosion
or by striking a mine.
The movements of the Ryndam of
the past few days are unaccoutned for.
No concern was felt for the safety of
the liner, fnasmuch as Holland-Am
can steamers are held up for. two or
three days at Falmouth by the British
authorities.
Since she left Falmouth the steamer
must have passed around the southern
end OF England. This is out of the
course of Holland-American liners.
