TORN BY DISORDER
Little Montenegro a Land of
Eternal Strife.
centurles-Old Customs Of Feuds and
vendettas Maintained - Republi-
cans and Monarchists Keep
the Country in Turmoil.

While the allied statesmen at Paris
deliberate on the fate of the na-
lions of Europe, Montenegro contin-
ues its century-lOng customs of feuds.
vendettas, shooting trays and inter
nal strife, and seems Outwardly to
give little attention to the fate re-
served for it by the great powers.
There is a semblance of local gov
eminent, but Serbia exercises a pre-
pOnderating influence In the affairs Of
the country.
There is a faction of the people
which desires a return Of King
Nicholas and the restoration of the
monarchy. There Is constant strife
between the rOyalists and the repub-
licans, the disorders usually taking
the form of fatal shooting combats
in the mountains. Feeling runs high.
The republicans accuse the mon
archiSts of hiring members Of the
cOmitadie, desperate mOuntaineers
who respect neither law nor life, to
kill the leaders of their party.
These shooting and stabbing affairs
usually take place in sections where
the rOyalists are the strongest. The
casualties sometimes are serious. Not
a day goes by but the American doc
tors attached to the Red Cross mis-
sion at Cettinje, POdgoritza and Kol-
acin are not called up to treat victims
of these encounters. At POdgOritZa
there have been as high as twenty
wounded natives at the Red Cross
hospital at one time.
There also are occasional border
fights between the MOntenegrins and
the Italians and Albanians. The feel
ing between these races is extremely
violent. When the Associated Press
correspondent was passing through
the small frontier town of PIavnitza.
at the head of Lake SOutari. there was
a massed company of $50 Montene-
grins preparing to attack an Italian
garrison on the opposite side of the
lake. Many of these MOntenegrins.
who were poorly clothed and
equipped, were mere boys of sixteen
and seventeen. Some of the older
soldiers had been to the United States
and boosted American citizenship. All
professed a desire to give up fighting
and return to America. The attack
on the Italians took place the next day
and many casualties on both sides are
reported.
Slightly smaller than the state of
Connecticut in area, Montenegro has
a population of less than quarter Of
a million. Even this small number
find it difficult TO get enough out Of
the soil to support life. The country
is rocky, desolate and barren. 1t
might be called huge pile of stones.
An American visitor remarked that its
national emblem should be a tomb
stone. Its mountains for the most
part are woodless and bare, and Its
valleys are made productive only by
careful husbandry of the soil and in
tensive farming.

PLANNED REVOLT
IN UNITED STATES
SENATOR FALL, CHAIRMAN COM
MITTEE, MAKES CHARGES
AGAINST MEXICO.
CARRANZA KNEW OF PLOT
Plan Was to Start Revolution In This
Country, Establish Western Capt.
tai and Give Border States
to Mexico.

hington.-Evidence that radicals
in Mexico, with the knowledge and
support of President Carranza, plotted
to instigate a revolution in the United
States and to seize the border states
acquired by the American government
IN 1S4S is contained in the nemoran-
dunn presented to President Wilson by
Senator Fall of New Mexico, chair
man Of the foreign relations subcom-
mittee investigating the Mexican sit
uation.
Plans for the proposed revolution
were obtained by the subcommittee
from the minutes OF a meeting last
Oct. IS in Mexico City Of Lodge %, an
organization OF extreme agitators and
members of the Industrial Workers Of
the World. The Mexican president is
linked most directly with the plot
through correspondence, in which he
recommends three men for special
consideration because of their connec-
ton with the plan, which they desire
to put into practice in the state Of
Texas. These men, the committee
states, have been identified as active
agents Of Lodge %.
The memorandum which contains an
abstract Of the evidence collected by
the committee was delivered to the
president by Senator Fall and made
public later.
The notes Of the Oct. Is meeting Of
the radical lodge declare there ap-
peared three delegates, two America s
and one Mexican. who had arrived
from the United States, and who
claimed that the society would be
able at the beginning Of next Novem.
Der (that is, November, 1870. to call
general strike of all miners and
metal workers in the United States;
that they have 100000 adherents in
that country, where they will be able
to seize one western and two Atlantic
ports; that a large number of Amer.
lean soldiers were preparing to take
sides with them, and that they pro-
posed to establish a capital of a re-
formed government Of the United
States IN the state of Colorado; that
when such a revolution was success
full, the Mexicans rendering their as
sistance, the border states which were
acquired by the United States under
the treaty of 1S4S would be returned
to Mexico"
The three men referred to are the

cured photastatic copies. The first of
these letters, dated June 4, and ad-
dressed to Manuel Aguirre Berianga,

"Senor Limo Caballo, bearer of this
letter, is the person who, In company
wit two friends, will bring to you the
manifestos and the plan which they
desire to put into practice in the state
of Texas
"This plan being very favorable for
Mexico, please aid them in every way
and give the necessary instructions in
the frontier states.

COOPERATION OF
FARMERS SOUGHT
ORGANIZED LABOR SEEKS THEIR
AID IN RECONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM.
CLAIM INTERESTS THE sane
Declaration Of Principles Adopted
Which Makes Direct Appeal to
Conservative Elements Of
All Glasses.

Washington.-The American Fedora
ton of Labor officials made another
effort to establish relations with farm
srs' organizations, the federation's GO
operation committee" appointed at the
Atlantic City convention, meeting here
With representatives Of several farm
ers' groups.
While only one delegate from a
farm organization participated In the
first day Of the federation's recon
structiona conference" it was under
stood the invitations sent by the com
mittee for another meeting were more
cordially received. Federation Off
eials declined to discuss the confer.
ence. saying that the committee would
make a report of the executive council
Of the organization. .ssv
In view of the declaration Of prin.
eiples adopted by the conference, 1t
was generally believed in labor quar-
tiers that the co operation committee
had made greater progress toward a
common ground on which to meet the
farmers representatives than has any
previous union group. Organized la.
Dor was declared by several spokes-
men to be anxious to get organized
farmers In the fold for the campaign
which the workers plan to wage in
The forthcoming election.
In this contention the statements
made in the declaration, adopted by
the conference, appealing to "all of
those who contribute to society to
unite in furtherance of the principles, -
were explained by labor leaders to
mean that organized labor must be
Joined by the producing classes If
its victory is to be complete" These
leaders asserted that the problems
faced by organizer labor are as much
the problems of the agriculturist class,
because they are both political and
economic.
Every pressure is Icing brought to
bear on the farmer groups to line
them up for labor's programme, it
was indicated at federation labor head
quarters. Efforts will be made to
show the farmers, it was said, that
the conferences declaration against
radicalism means as much to the till
or Of the soil as to the industrial
worker, and that the organized aid of
the country worker is needed in the
fight against "autocratie control and
rnonopolistic msneuvering Of the ma
tons raw supplies"
