Aged Montenegrin Leader, Pleading for
independence of His People, Awaits
In Paris Decision of Powers.

Austro-H Hungarian troops pursued by
the Montenegrin Insurgents occupied
Montenegro. Then the Serbian troops
occupied the country.
1T is only too true that Official
Serbia has succeeded in creating in
Montenegro a state of disorder. a po-
lttical confusion that she had for q
long time been preparing.
Her intention was 10 put the peace
conference face to face with an ac-
complished fact as far as the Serho-
Nontenegrin relations are concerned.
Taking advantage of main force.
Serbia proclaimed the annexation OF
Montenegro.
The representatives of Serbia are
endeavoring by all means to convince
the allied governments and public
opinion among the allies that this
violence committed by official Serbia
against Montenegro and unique in
the history of international relations
was pe2petrated in perfect agreement
with the majority OF the Montenegro
nation.
Nevertheless it has taken but a

/ accept as a proof of this already the
fact that the great powers refuse
Serbia the right to represent Monte
negro. Moreover. the cause of Monte
negro is clear and just.
The cause of Montenegro is identi-
cal with that of Belgium and Serbia.
with this difference. that the sacri-
fees of these countries were imposed
on them by the central powers, while
we voluntarily took our stand with
the allies We have sacrificed every.
thing for the common cause. II is
therefore natural that we should
claim our rights today. that is. the
integral res storation of our country In.
the same way as il was done for
Serbia and Belgium. The allies have
as was their duty. The Montenegrins
have no reason to doubt that these
promises will be, kept.
The actual events that took place
in Montenegro and that were pro-
voked by official Serbia have. to a
considerable extent. increased the
misery of the country. which cannot
receive its normal course of supplies
because of Generalization and uncer-
tainty of everything at present.
zone must not forget that Monte
negro has been at war since 1912.
that is, since the first Balkan war.
The protracteds length of its three
years of terrible slavery and disease
has cast the people of Montenegro into
extreme misery.
'It is enough to say that kiio of
bread has cost IS francs, for one
to imagine the SITUATION of nv
unhappy people Today the situation
is. somewhat improved, but is still far
from satisfactory. The people lack
everything. especially shoes and
clothes. Thorougb-going and quick

that the great and noble American
people who have shown no end of
benevolence throughout this war will
not refuse 1T here"

Brazil's foreign Office has estab-

division of its organization, and the
development is attracting most fa-
vorable comment at the State Depart
ment and in government circles here
Through this bureau. according to

poses to crystalline her support OF

darity.
The work of the new division is 10

ferences that have been held in the

Maintained by Allies.

Driven from his native land at the
time Austro- Hungarian and German
armies swept over 1t in their ruthless
drive toward Macedonia, the old king
sought refuge in France. Montenegro
being completely in the hands of the
enemy and subject to their exploita-
ton, it was impossible for the gov
ernment which sought safe asylum
here to maintain itself. and 1t became
incumbent upon England. France and
Russia to maintain the Montenegrin
regime.
Through diplomatic maneuvering,
which forms subject for a story in
itself. the 100000 a month granted
to King Nicholas and his officials was
reduced to nothing. Today the
Montenegrin government is practical
ly penniless. Though it is dependen,
upon private assistance to maintain
itself even in a humble way, King
Nicholas continues to lead a bitter
fight for the complete rehabilitation
of his country and for the freedom

Fight New Invaders.

The Montenegrins have risen I'm
arms to defend the sovereignty and
the rights of the country against the
new conquerers.
No success has followed the efforts
or official Serbia to corrupt by distri-
button of food and money those who
disapprove of this violence.
Montenegro is today the scene OF
bloody conflicts between the Monte
negrins and Serbian troops who are
trying to force the Montenegrin ma
ton to accept the annexation.
Numerous and unnecessary victims
are falling on both sides in this frat
ricidal war. provoked by the imperial
istic ambitions of official Serbia.
1t is unnecessary to add that the
object of official Serbia is TO prevent
the carrying out of the promises made
by the allies on the subject Of restora-
ton of Montenegro. But IL must be
insisted on that the action of Monte
negrin insurgents Is legitimate and
entirely in accord with the promises
of the allies.
"On our part my government and I
have done everything in our power
the bloodshed, by assuring the people
that the allies will appreciate the sac
rifices accepted during this war. and
will protect the rights of Montenegro.
But it Is not only the Nontenegrins
who have risen against such conduct
on the part of official Serbia. The
same thing has happened in Croatia.
1T is In the imperialistic claims of
Serbia that you must seek the germ of
this attitude on our part and or that
of the other Jugoslav countries

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di-

The way seems simple, but it is not.
Pepsin must be activated. The usual
method is an acid harmful to the teeth,
so pepsin long seemed impossible.
What has been found is a harmless

applied twice daily and left between the
