LONDON, Jan. 20.—John Ropei
Parkington, the Consul General foi
Montenegro has received official
word that King Nicholas would con
tinue to head his troops fighting un
til the last.
THE HAGUE, Jan. 20.—Monte
negro has resumed heavy fighting
and the bitterness and weight of its
resistance to Austria Is increasing.
VIENNA, Jan. 20.—The weight of
Montenegro resistance to tbe Aus
trian advance has greatly increased.
It is believed that they have man
aged to receive some reinforcements
from the Italians or Servians.
ROME, Jan.. 20.—The Italia
press suspects Montenegro's sincer
ty they do not believe that an
1 serious resistance has been offere
to the Austrians advance and say s
quite openly.
According to the statements put
lished in LTtalla, Montenegr
secretly agreed to yield Mount Lov
i cen to Austria in return for som
unknown concession.
I They only made a formal defens
in order to deceive the Allies.
Military chiefs writing in the Ita
lian papers say that the capture ot
Mount Lovcen was Impossible if any
„ resistance was put up. If the Mon
a tenegrins had been short of ammu
- tition that might be understood, but
y even the Montenegrin generals art- i
1 mit that there was no shortage, but
a that they began evacuating Cettinjo
and Mount Lovcen simultaneously, I
- long before the Austrians appeared I
J before Cattaro harbor. j
Since then the Austrians have 1
given the Montenegrins every
, chance to escape. but they have

BOTH SIDES MAKE
CLAIM GAINS EAST
A
LONDON, Jan. 20,—Petrograd dis
patches claim continued victories in
their Galician and Bukowina ad
vance. Vienna says that the ad
vance while heavy has been repul
sed. That fighting still proceeds
there without any very defiinite gains
on either side- is probably the cor
rect version.
VIENNA, Jan. 20.—The hcavv
Russian offensive which started on
the drive from Bessarabia has prov
ed a fizzle and has been finally re
pulsed. The gains were only tempo
rary which the Russian made and
their losses were enormous. The
*
ability of the Austrians with an In
ferior force to keep back any Rus
sian offensive has been clearly de
monstrated.
j
BERLIN, Jan. 20.—The papers
are gloating over the collapse of the
Russian offensive. It is clear ac ]
j cording to the experts that Russia
is unable to make any headway be
1 fore the defenses of the Teutons.
j PETROGRAD, , Jan. 20.—Prom j
I Lutsk to the Rumanian border of
I Uukowina, the battling between (
Slav and Teuton is almost continu
ous. The Teutons today undertook a
heavy counter-offcnBive, but befo-o
svering Mils had collapsed and the
situation again shows the Russians
advancing.
Short engagements were marked
n the Dvina rogion, but the Teuton
jffensive there was short lived.
It is believed however that the
Germans will re-open tho sprin>»
campaign in the northern fighting
sone first as airmen are constantir
nailing recognoitering trips above
ind beyond tho Russian llncB.
