BY WILLIAM PHILL1p sINIMs.

Paris. Jan 25-King Nicholas, the
aged ruler of Montenegro. believes his
little nation should enjoy the same
right of self determination as larger
countries He expressed confidence
today that the peace congress will en-
force the application Of this principle.
| In an interview with the United
| Press, Nicholas declared that Serbia is
attempting forcibly TO annex Monte
negro. rather than join with her in
/ formation Of q new Jugo-Slav state.
This alleged attitude Of Serbia is be-
tNeped te have constituted one of the
elements which resulted in the warn
! ing issued yesterday by the supreme
war council. that claims @ territory
seized by arms win receive no recogni-
tion from the peace congress.
ON DOUBTFUL GROUND.
Nicholas. who is living in the Hotel
Rue de Rivoli, is watching the work
of the peace conference closely. to
determine whether he is to he king
without a kingdom on the ruler of an
independent nation. He declared he Is
ain enthusiastic supporter or President
Wilson's policies, and that he is will
ing to abide by the Wilsonian test as
applied to Montenegro. even If It
means the loss Of his CROWN
The Serbian army occupied Monte
negro Immediately following the sign
iEg of the armistice. after the Monte
negrins had driven the Austrians out
of the country said King Nicholas.
The Serbian government then hastily
attempted to annex our land by force
The Serbian agent 6Prinee Alexander)
did not hesitate 10 assume the Monte
negrin crown which I wore. and stin
wear legally. after q reign OF nearly 60
Years.
PEOPLE RESISTED.
HI wished 10 go before the peace
conference with the union of Serbia
and Montenegro as an established
fact, explaining to the delegates that
this WAS the Will of the Montenegrin
people. The Montenegrins rose In
arms to defend their rights They,
like the other Jugo- Slavs. wished 10
become part OF a confederation mod
elled on the United States, where many
Of our soldiers lived for many years.
They wish to see President Wilson's
peace proposals applied to Jugo- Slavia
that is, that the people should decide
their own fate

people, bat Serbia insists that any
move by the Slav people should
receive sanction Of the prince regent !
of Serbia. Profiting by the extreme |
misery Of my people, who have lived |
under war conditions since 1912, the
Serbians have attempted to win the
hy distribution OF silver /
and food, these going only to those
who did not oppose Serbian activity.
But this game was Unsuccessful |

The next primary election will be
held in Maryland on Monday, May G.,
next, for which battle the forces in
the Republican and Democratic parties
are already lining up. The primary is
held at an early date because of the
custom of holding national nominating
conventions in June or July. The ma
tional committees of the two parties
will meet in Washington this month
to select the dates and places of meet
ing of the conventions.
At the primary in Maryland there
will be chosen candidates for the Unit

now held by John Walter Smith, can
didates for Congress in each of the six
districts, and sixteen delegates by
each of the two parties to the national
conventions.
Each county and each legislative
district of Baltimore will elect on the
unit plan, delegates to the two state
conventions, each of which will nomi-
nate candidate for Senator and elect
delegates to the national conventions:
four delegates at large (The Big Four)
and two from each of the six congress
sional districts.
The candidates for Cogress will be
nominated by direct vote of the people.
With the exception of the sessions
Of the two national conventions in
June or early in July, Maryland will

A NUT TO BE CRACKED.

"Why not give increased salaries
for teachers rest and work for high
err standards and ideals?"
Answer this question yourself, re-
membering the following facts:
Great numbers of the strongest and
best teachers are still leaving the pro-
fession because of inadequate pay.
The number of teachers in the pub
lie schools this year below 81 years
of age is greater even than during the
late war.
The attendance at Misunderstanding
institutions is twenty per cent. less
than in 1916, and county superinten-
dents report that very few young men
and women now look forward to teach
ing as life career.

ers are more capable of observing

now less tran twenty vacant school
houses IN Garrett county, and plans
are now being formulated by which
these school houses will be supplied
with teachers in very short time
Each community should make every
effort to secure for its school teacher
to take up the work, which method has
been followed in most of the school
centers of the county with the most
excellent results, as are poined out in
this paragraph:
In the Baltimore Sun of November
goth, we read as follows: "The mini
mum age for teachers in Iowa has
been reduced from 10 to II for the re-
mainder of this school year. Action
in reducing the age limit was taken
by the Board of Education examiners
to adjust the serious shortage of the
teaching force for rural schools.

han, says there are between 700 and
800 rural schools in the state stand

erected in the village cemetery here.
The F. S. Chambers Marble and Gran

FOR LEATHER THEFT
Roy Bush and Walter Frost Taken
Into Custody at COnnellsviIle.

On Sunday afternoon upon informa-
ton received from States Attorney
f. Ray Jones, of Oakland, officers at
Connellsville, Pa, arrested Roy H.
Bush and Walter Frost, alias Fred
Besser, as they stepped from the
Fairmont train at Connellsville. The
men were arrested upon the charge of
stealing quantity of finished leather
said to be valued at 500, which was
the property of Charles R. Savedge,
of Deer Park, the father-in-law of
Bush.
The leather was found at the ex-
press Office at the Baltimore and Ohio
station in Connellsville, consigned to
Fred. Besser, at that point. Frost
admitted the theft and exonerated the
other man in statement to the Con-
nellsville authorities, giving as his
reason for taking the leather that
the owner had refused to pay him for
IA days'wages due at the time.
Monday Mr.. Savedge went to Con-
nellsville and brought Besser back to
Oakland with him, allowing Bush to
go upon the strength of Bessers bare
statement, but since Besser's incar-
ceration in the Oakland Jail a number
of articles stolen from the store of C.
II. Browning at Deer Park have been
found on the premises at Deer Park
frequented by Bush at times and now
Besser has reneged and is trying to
throw all the responsibility upon
Bush.
