M0NTENECRINS
 USING BURLAP FOR CLOTHING

N1KSICH, Montenegro, Via Paris May 25 Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press). ).-Montenegro is in pitiable state. The inhabitants are destitute. Dwellings are burned or smashed by shellfre. The young men are gone. There are no tools to work with, no seeds to plant The city dwellers have no livelihood. Each day the, American Red Cross gives every one kilo of bread of two quarts Of thick, meaty soup. American nurses visit the sick from sunup to sundoWn, each nurse attending to about fifty sick persons daily.
 Before the war most of the clothing worn by the Montenegrins was made by the women at home, either of linen or wool. Only small number of of- fcials and tradesmen used imported cloth. During the war no clothing was made and now the home supply is cut off because there is not enough labor to produce food and no one can spare time for spinning or weaving.
 AS result Montenegrin men, women and children are clothed Tn burlap saeking There is not enough sacking to go around and the noun taineers huddle in their huts during indictment weather. When one of their number, generally child, IS sent after the Red Cross ratlons ne or she is supplied by making a round Robin collection with sufficient sack ing to keep warm during the journey to the relief station.
 Malaria and tuberculosis are com mon and the children suffer much from the itch. due to the genral filthl- ness of conditions in the mountains and mountain towns. In the Iorlher residence of Prince Mirko, son or King Nicholas, near Podgorl'sa' American doctors and nurses malh- tain fifty bed hospital and treat daily about eighty patients.

 Owing to the hostility to foreigners shown by Montenegrins almost the only foreign element found in tne 1n- terior towns are American soldiers and officers and workers in American Red Cross uniforms. The American army trucks and ambulances are driven by chauffeurs largely drawn from the ambulance service Tn France.

ONLY one rational conclusion can be
drawn from the statistics of railway
earnings and expenses for the first
three months of 1919, the Railway Age
declares in an editorial in it's current
issue. That is, that the railroads are
today bankrupt industry and ''that
no increase of traffic, or increase in eff
ficiency of operation, or increase in
both, which there is the slightest pos
sibility will occur, would leave the rail-
ways anything but a bankrupt indus
try, if existing wages and existing
freight and passenger rates were both
retained" The deficit incurred by the
grow faster even than the most pessi-
mistic have feared. says the Railway
Age 1t was $58, 00C, 900 in March.
This makes the total deficit for the
first three months of the year approx
imately $3.50, 900. 900, or almost one and
a half million dollars day. In March,
when the decline in traffic was % per
cent, the increase in expenses was %
per cent! The railroad system of the
United States is earning only % per
cent as much net operating income as
in the three years ended with June 80,
1917, in spite of the fact that its gross
earnings are running about so per cent
more than then. The rates must be
advanced. and substantially advanced
If the railroads are ever to be convert
ed from bankrupt into prosperous
industry, and this whether the govern
ment operation is continued or private
operation is restored: -unless expenses
are heavily cut.

JUDGE MAKES PLEA >
FOR THE TEACHERS

Charleston, Sept. 16.-A plea for
more interest in schools and larger
salaries for teachers was made by
Circuit Judge Prince, Of Anderson,
in his charge to the grand jury yes
terday morning when the Court Of
General Sessions convened for the
September term. Judge Prince de-
clared that "smal salaries have
caused most Of the men and the best
Of the women teachers to give up
teaching as livelihood and as re-
suit there is a lack of teachers
throughout this State" -
Eleven cases were disposed Of dur
ing the day. In ten of these the de-
PENDANTS pleaded guilty. A total of
thirteen true bills were returned by
the grand jury.
On account Of this being the third
term for the grand jury the presid-
ing officer did not deliver lengthy
nor elaborate charge. He did, how
ever, make mention Of several things
to which he especially directed tho
attention of the grand jurors.
Judge Prince declared "I am sorry
to note the disinterestedness on the
part OF witnesses, many of whom
have failed to answer to their names.
l will find out why they are not here.
II do not care how any others
might act but intend that witnesses
shall not run nor block the court
over which am presiding. Bench
warrants will be sworn out for all
who did not answer to their names
this morning. Those who failed to
respond had better get into court be-
fore they are served with bench
warrants"
Judge Prince then requested that
the grand jurors take special inter-
est in the schools. He declared that
each grand juror should visit each
school in the county and urged that
they see that the trustees be investi-
gated and if any unfit for Office are
found, have them removed. He then
made a plea for more interest in
schools and for larger salaries for
teachers.

STEEL T STRIKE TO [
BEGIN MONDAY
No Action Taken To Prevent Strike.
There Will Be No PieketinE-To
Consider Plans for New Rsla-
ton Between Employees and :
Employers.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 17.-When
the national committee for organiz-
ing iron and steel workers which
met here today to. consider matters
in connection with the proposed
strike of steel workers, adjourned to-
night until tomorrow morning, John
Fitzpatrick, chairman Of the COM
mittee, made the unequivocal state
ment that the walkout would take
place next Monday morning as al
ready decided upon. He said no 'ac-
tion was taken at today's meeting to
postpone the strike, and that the
decision reached at Washington last
week would not be revoked. Mr..
Fitzpatrick said statement would
be issued tomorrow afternoon. The
meeting, primarily called to consider
strike plans, discussed the question
Of postponing the walkout until after
the industrial conference in Wash.
ington beginning October 6, as re-
quested by President Wilson. Argu-
ments were made against postpone
ment on the ground that the steel
workers, having gone 10 far in their
campaign for settlement Of grievan-
ces by collective bargaining, can not
turn back. .
Few details of the meeting were
permitted to leak out. Samuel Comp
ers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, according to re-
port is not unfavorable to a post
ponement If it will not work injury
to the steel workers. !.
When Chairman Fitzpatrick made
the positive statement that the strike
would 60 into effect next Monday
morning, he was asked if the strikers
would picket the steel plants.

men will 60 fishing" he said. eve

CARRANZA OFFERs
POINIED DEFENSE

A defense of Mexico against for.
eign representations, particularly
from the United States, regarding the
lives Of foreigners and their property
was contained in message of Presi-
dent Carranza read at the opening
session of the Mexican congress on
Monday.
Particular reference was made in
the message to alleged injustices
practiced against Mexicans in the
United States.
A long list of alleged offenses was
given under the section of the ad-
dress devoted to foreign relations.
The message also defended Mexi-
co.'s neutrality during the war and
protested against charges that the
Mexican government was incapable
and unwilling to protect foreign lives
and property.
In the message President Carranza
asserted that Mexico did not ask ad-
mission to the league of nations, be-
cause, he said, the league did not es-
tablish equality for all nations and
races.
He reiterated that Mexico had not
recognized and would not recognize
the Monroe doctrine.
Regarding oil legislation, the mes
sage said the government was willing
to conciliate, but would not sacrifice
it's national sovereignty.

GOLD SWORD FOR PERSHING
STRIKES SNAG IN HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 15.-The Kahn
bill, providing for the presentation of
a gold sword to Gen. Pershing, ran
onto a snag in. the house today.
When the Representative Julius
Kahn, Of California, chairman\of the
military affairs committee, got ready
to call up the measure under a sus-
pension of the rules, he discovered
an incipient rebellion against it. He
was informed by members on both
sides of the house fight would GER
tainly develop if he attempted to
bring it up.
Members taking this position de-
clared they were not much opposed
to the proposed honor for Gen. Per
shing as they were to the policy OF
showering honors on the army and
navy leaders while the enlisted men
were forgotten. Representative Kitch
in, of North Carolina, former Dem
ocratic leader, and Representative
Mason, Republican, Of Illinois, took
this view. Mr.. Mason was .outspoken
in his demand that something should
be done for the privates without
further delay.He referred to- the Pc
tition signed by $1,000 citizens of
the United States, urging that a bo-
nus equivalent to six months pay be
granted the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. Mr.. Mason said this material
recognition of the soldiers glorious
services would be Of invaluable help
to them at this time.
In face Of this opposition, Mr..
Kahn decided to delay calling up the
bill until he could get special rule,
for which he will apply tomorrow.
Mr.. Kitchen plans to make a speech
appealing for some reward for the
privates when the bill comes up.

Officials Believe Report Is Well
Founded One.

Washington, Sept. -16.-Officials
here, in the absence Of President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing, will
not comment upon the report that
the United States has asked Japan
to set a definite date for the return
of Kiao Chau to China. The gener-
al impression in ofiial circles is that
the report is well founded.
Japan's answer to such request
by the government would have an
important bearing on the Senate
consideration of the peace treaty as
one of the objections to it on which
opposition is being centered, is the
Shantung provision.
Administration supporters Of the
treaty feel a definite announcement
by Japan setting a date for the re-
turn of Kiao Chau would go far to
remove that point.
Various Japanese officials have
stated Kiao Chau would be returned
but time never was set.

ITALY CALLS THE 'r'
FIUME AFFAIR A
SOLDIERS MUTINY

Washington, Sept. 15.-The ltal-
ian ambassador, Count v. Macchi de
CeIlere, called on Assistant Secretary
of State Phillips today ard advised
him that the Fiume affairs was re-
garded by Italy as a mutiny.
The ambassador assured Secretary
Phillips that Premier Nitti was dis
posed to handle the affair with a
strong hand and that the Italian
government would steadfastly sup
port the premier in taking whatever
measures may be necessary to put
down the insurrection.
This government was also inform
ed;that Gabrielle D'Annunzio and the
soldiers who took Fiume under his
leadership could be- reached by the
Italian penal code. The giving of
this Information to the state de-
partment was construed to mean that
Italy not only proposes to suppress
the autiny with stern hand, but
that the Italian government will
bring the mutineers to trial by court
martial. ..
Unofficial advices received here on
the Fiume coup d'etat were to the
effect that it might assume a much
more serious phase than the Italian
government officials were willing to
admit. probable. 1t was said Dan
nunzio might possibly be supported
not alone by the army with which he
entered Fiume. and by the population
Of that city, but that it was not
without the bounds Of probability he
would have the support of the popu-
lation Of all the contiguous country.
Furthermore, it~was pointed out that
D'Annunzjo is a popular hero in
Italy and hear kind considerable
support in the public sentiment in
Italy for his bold enterprise, The
impression left at the state depart
ment after the visit of the aaian
ambassador was that Italy was going
to make a supreme effort to, settle
as soon as possible the issue, raised
by D'Annunzio to prevent any in
terfereIee by England and France,
both of which powers will undoubted-
ly stand on the peace conference dis
position Of Fiume. It will take a few
days Of thought to determine how
serious the occupation Of the city by
D'Annunzio may be.
