and the Serbians are said 20 be feed
ing only those Montenegrins who sign
the pledges to support union Of
Montenegro with Serbia. Those who
refuse are left to die from hunger or
are disposed of in more summary
fashion. according to the Montenegrin
minister.
In Cetinje. Podsoritra and NiLchitch

methods of the Serbians in gaining
control of Montenegro at d time when
Montenegro, without resident govern
ment and any systematic means of re

Montenegrins generally were dis
armed by the Austrians during the
period of occupation, but such crude
weapons of war as they retained since
have been removed by the Serbians IN

people, unless some other nation or

dogs, and thousands of persons. WHO
suffered tortures during the period of
Austrian occupation. now are even in
more pitiable plight. as the result of
Serbia's consistent effort to throw

the charges made by Milo NJ. Vouio-

me today.
Internal conditions in Montenegro
are terrible. Not since the early DAYS
of the war, when Montenegro
vaiiantly resisted the southwark ad

OPPOSES PROPOSITION
TO ABOLISH SUBMARINES
NJ. Laubeuf. Engineer, Says French
Navy Would Be Hopelessfy
Inferior Without Them.
BY PAII SCOTT MOWRER.
CabIexram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1910.

PARIS. France, February 7.-Criti-
cising the alleged Anglo American
idea of aboiishing the submarine from
the world the eminent French engt-
neer. NJ Laubeuf says that without
submarines the French navy would
be hopelessly inferior TO the Angie
Saxon navies The submarine, he
maintains, is the only means Of coun-
rterbalancing the power of the cruiser
and it's abolition would leave the
cruiser supreme.
The argument that submarine war
fare should be forbidden because the
Sermans nisused il, says NJ. Laubeuf.
can easily be reduced to absurdity by
arguing that artillery should also be
forbidden because the Germans mis-
used it IL firing gas shells. The truth
is continues the engineer, that the
German submarines were useful in
le ultimate naval warfare as well as
in illegitimate attacks. s they sank
five English. cruisers, three french
and four English armored cruisers,
three French and two Italian cruis-
ers and also a large number of aux
Hilary cruisers, patrol boats and trans
ports.
Submarines contends the French ex-
pert are the only means of defense OF
small nations against the great. and
concludes:
If the peace conference wishes to
insure world peace let 1t begin by
aboIishing Goliath's club and not
David's sling. If submarines are
a abolished let cruisers also be abol-
ished, Let our delegates make this
counter proposition and see how it
will be. received

Wants High School Built.

Upon the motion OF A. L. Mckay
the Commissioners will be urged to
begin work at once On the construc-
ton of the new Eastern High School
and Gallinger Hospital in the south
east. Mr., Mckay called attention to
the fact that If the government would
take the initiative in the building
program that private builders would
follow and this would create work
FOR the present unemployed as well
as others who will be returning home
and looking for work. Mr. Mckay
also said that several new schools
throughout the District were to be
built, and work on these should be
started without delay.
The Commissioners will be asked
to order the removal of two useless
unoccupied and dilapidated wooden
structures in Nichols avenue at the
end CT the cement sidewalk, and also
the ruins of an old house on the
Wheeler road, which was partly de-
stroyed by FIRE, and owned b. Mr..

Desire to Choose Course.

Montenegrins are not so much oppos-
ed to Joining serbia as they are to
being forced into sach an alliance
without the people having the right
to say they are ready 10 join with
Serbia voluntarily. They have no OBJ
jections to entering 9. Jugoslav state,
but they feel that they should have
the liberty of choosing their own
course. AS consequence the APP
parent efforts of Serbia to control the
situation before Montenegro has had
a chance 10 speak aroUSeS those old
antipathies against coercion.
All the enunciations of brother
hood of man and self -definition of all
peoples will not Immediately change
the character of the Montenegrin. AS
a result unless Montenegro is given
chance 20 decide in a fair and square
way her future course without the
semblsnce of force on the part of any
other nation, then Monteeegro is sure
TO resist now or at am time in the
future. the minister declared
The people of Montenegro are ex-
pecting President Wilson 10 enter the
arena in their behalf during the ses
sions of the peace conference. They
believe in him above all European
statesmen, Minister Eouiovitch de-
clared
Our only hope is the justice of

pie elect negro or a Turk to head

pie are carried out. Just simple, plain

Ready to Die for Liberty.

As Minister Vouiovitch stated 10 me
today. Montenegrin people always
have been ready to die for their Lib
critics. For centuries the Turks tried
TO conquer them, but failed. Just as
the Turks tried 20 snatch. away their
national birthright and failed. just so
shall the Serbians fail, ne said, for
even should, by some chance. the peace
conference in Paris decide that Mon
teneCro should be placed in the So
called Serbian confedera ton, these
mountain people of Montenegro viii
resist until the last drop of Monte
negrin blood has been spilled
The Montenegrin will fight forever
for his liberties, as he has done in
the past, the minister declared Posi-
bly, the best iIlust; ton of this is
given by NJ Vouiovirch. He declared
the worst anathema that one Monte
negrin could direct to another was:
Go die natural death" So many
Montenegrins having died for their
country, for their personal liberties,
it is generally considered the true
Montenegrin eventually will die as his
forefathers did, A natural death is not
one the true Montenegrin Graves.
