ARE AGAIN IN
7(THROES OF REVOLUTION;
NSERBLANS USE BIG FORCE

LONDON. Aug. 2S.-Fighting

tenegro and the whole country 10
in a state of revolution, with the
Serbians using strong measures in
their attempt to suppress the upris-
ing. "We seem to be in for n reeru-
descenee Of the Balkan troubles. !"
was the statement made today from
an authoritive source here.
The Montenegrins hev cut the
railway between Virpaxar and An
tivari on the coast, practically tie
ing up transportation to the inter-
Tor. The Serbians are receiving re-
inforeements but are apparently
meeting with little success in their
attempts to put down she revoIu-
tionary movements. Reports from
that section Of the Ba,sAns state
that the Montenegrin national spir-
j, has been thoroughly aroused and
that the animosity toward the Ser
bians is increasing.
The .uprisings in Montenegro
seems very likely 60 bring to head
the long smouidering differences
between the Monsenesrin support
ers Of former King Nichols and the
faction adhering to the 3 -- for the
incorporation of Montenegro in the
Jugo-Slav state.
King Nicholas never recognized
the validity Of the act Of the Mon
tenegrin assembly last winter in
disposing him. He continued to
maintain the old royal Montene grin
government with it's seat In the sub
urbs of Paris. Serbia is insistent
upon the adhension Of Montenegro
to the Jugo-Slav claims, and the
majority of the Montenegrins are
reported to be in favor of the un-
ion.
