REVOLUTION ON
IN MONTENEGRO
National Spirit ATouses People
Against the Serbians
ap The a aaocinted Preas.

BY The Associated Press
LONDON. Aug. 28-Fighting has
broken out everywhere la Montene-
gro and the whole country is in 4
received here. The situation is ex-
tremely serious and Serbians are
using strong measures In an attempt
to suppress the uprising.
I'VE seem to be In for recrudes-
cence of the Balkan trouble" was the
statement made to the Associated
Press from an authoritative source.
The Montenegrins have cut the rail-
way between Birthair and Antivaii on
the coast.
The SCerbians are receiving nssn-
forcements, but are not meeting with
success in their efforts to put down
the revolution. According to the adj
vices the Montenegrin national spirit
has thoroughly aroused the animosity
of the people against the Serbians in-
creasing.
The uprising IN Montenegro seems
likely to bring to a head the long
smouldering differences between the
Montenegrin supporters of former
King Nicholas and the faction adher-
ing to the plan for the incorporation
of Montenegro In the Jugo-Slav state.
King Nicholas has never recognized
the validity of the act Of the Monte-
negrin assembly last winter in ede-
posing him and has continueu>tQ
maintain the old royal Montenegrin
government, with its seat in suburb
of Paris.
Serbia is insistent upon the adhe-
sion of Montenegro to Jugo -Slavia
and claims that majority OF the
Montenegrins favor the union.
