MOMTEMtGRINs ASK
PROMPT RELIEF
FROM ALLIES
PEOPLE REPORTED TO BE DY-
ING FROM STARVA-
TION

NEW YORK, April 4. = Prompt
relief for the people of Montenegro
who are officially reported to be
dying from starvation is urged in
a letter written by Alexander De-
vine, an English friend Of Monte
negro, to Herbert c. Hoover, the
food administrator in Paris, a
copy of which has been received
here. In his letter Mr.. Devine
charged that there had been very
gross unfairness to Montenegro in
the endless delays and obstacles
which had been placed in my way
in efforts to obtain relief for the
Montenegrins.
Mr.. Devine wrote that he first
appealed to the British authorities
in behalf or the Montenegrins in
1916, but that UP to the signing
of the armistice mot as much as a
grain of rice ever was permitted
to enter Montenegro" After the
armistice he renewed his efforts
and finally was referred to Mr..
Hoover in Paris, but for two
months was unable to obtain a
passport to go to Paris and see
him and Colonel Anderson of the
American Red Cross. Finally, Mr..
Devine wrote he had arrived in
Paris to find Mr.. Hoover absent.
Meanwhile, he declared. American
relief ships had arrived at Cattaro,
but 'the relief fell into the hands
of the Serbians and aided them in
their political purposes against the
king and the country" These de-
lays and obstacles. Mr.. Devine told
Mr.. Hoover, demonstrated unfair
ness to Montenegro and. he added,
IT have no mi Of having OBJ
tanned justice during these long
weary months of waiting"
Since Mr.. Devine's letter was
written a commission has been
sent to Montenegro by the Ameri-
can peace delegation in France
and has reported that the situation
in Montenegro is desperate and the
people are actually dying from
starvation. The American Red
Cross has been trying to supply
them with food.

AMERoNGEN, April 8. All
who come into close connection
with the former German emperor
these days are astonished at the
change which has come over his
behavior in relation to people with
whom he is brought into contact.
His naughty has disap-
peared. He no longer takes it for
granted that he is the supreme
lord to whom all must bow. Any
service given to him, even by the
humblest of gardeners in the en-
ploy of County Dentinck, is re-
warded with apparently sincere
thanks and sometimes even with a
genuine h~andshake, a thing not
looked for by the highest of his
courtiers when he al still at the
height of his power.
Virtually without exception, he
passes three hours every morning
between breakfast and lunch at
his voluntary task of saving logs
in the grounds of the castle. The
last ten minutes of each hour is
given up to q spell Of rest. during

BORO

HILLSBORO, Ohio, April 8. -
This town, the home of Mother"
Thompson, credited with being the
founder of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, is arranging
for a big national celebration when
America goes dry on July /.
Leaders of various temperance So
cieties will attend the celebration.
Those planning the event claim
that Hillsboro is the birthplace OF
the national prohibition movement.
They say that on Dec. "a, 1873,
a number of women Joined forces
and set out to rid the district of
its saloons.
The story of how these pioneers,
headed by Mother" Thompson,
sailed forth day after day and,
kneeling before the saloons, pray
ed and sang them out of exist
ence," is a matter of history, the
celebration managers say.
Some of the members of Moth
err" Thompson's little band are still
living and will participate in the
celebration. Z

LONDON, April 3. = Intense in

ernment's announcement that the
long projected tunnel under the
English channel to connect England
and France is soon to be construct
ed. The cost of the enterprise Is
roughly estimated at 100000, 900.
Some say the tunnel could be COM

A commission in Paris which has
been discussing this project also is
considering the building of tunnels
under the Bosphorus connecting
Europe with Asia and n from
Gibraltar connecting Europe with
Africa.

h;s wife putting questions en- all
sorts of subjects to those Ia at
tendance.
AS a rule, the former emperor is
extremely laxative. He dwells
greatly on happenings in Germany,
both past and present. Often he
is in a complaining mood, when he
blames all and sundry for what
has occurred. 1t does not seem
to enter his mind that any of the
fault lies with him. At these
times he expresses sorrow for the
asperity of his utterances. On 9TH
err occasions - these are more
rare - he closes up like a clam
and not a word can be drawn
from him.
He has everything he can posi-
bly, require in the way of creature
comforts, but without actually be-
ing imprisoned he is confined to a
very small area, for he has not
dared since before Christmas to
put a foot outside Of the castle
grounds. as he fears contact with
the outside world.

SImplon tunnel under the Swiss
mountain of that name, and which
is 12M miles in length, the long
est at present in the world.
Speaking of the problem of
building the tunnel, English ensi-
neers say the sea itself offers no
difficulty, that the only risk lies
in the geological formations. The
first layer under the channel is
white chalk, and beneath this is
a belt of gray chalk some 500 feet
thick. The great question is
whether the gray chalk is impervi-
Gus to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined,
but expert opinion favors a spot
just behind Dover and, in France,
a point close to Cape Grisnez.
The tunnel will be capable of
handling 10000 passengers and
10000 tons of goods each way in
"a hours. Ordinary railway roll
ing stock, including sleeping and
dining cars, will be able to use the
route.
