I , . . .. -. :. - - r A YVeekly Keview * Of The Great War ?< fi The capture of the capital of t Montenegro by the Austrians ii virtually removes the third of t,< the three buffer states first in- ^ volved in the war. The Belgians . 11 in France and the Serbians, iti Albania are continuing the fight, tl .. c/ he Montenegrins are cut off o fr* tn retreat and their king has S1 all but succumed to the in- v evitablo. Montenegro is sur- ^ rounded on three sides by the 11 Austrians and on the fourth side | ^ are the Albanians, hardly less ?' hostile to the Montenegrins. 'a The conquest of Montenegro is a' an important victory tor Austria, ol not because it adds much to her - territory or relieves her of a ^ dangerous foe, for Montenegro is both small and weak; but because it puts Austria in secure " possession of the hay of Cattarn. t: "the Gibraltar of the Adriatic." Q So long as this port was domina- w ted by guns on Mount Lovcen ( ' the Austrian warships were not tt' safe here. In fact in October, ct they were driven out of the in- ^ ner basin, the Gulf of Oattaro, a as well as the middle basin, 81 Teodo Bay, by the four guns of sc 4% inch caliber which the French marines stationed on tt / Mount Lovcen, If the Frenfch P hud carried out their Dlan of r( mounting 6-inch guns on the summit, the Austrian shipping P1 would have been swept from the ttl outer harbor and the forts about P1 the bay reduced. The concrete foundations had already been tl IS laid when in May, 1915, Italy en- ^ jb^^fered the war and undertook the ^ J defense of the Adriatic- hi f Hut the Italian navy failed to ()< r guard tlie. months of Cattaro as h closely as the French and Brit- h ish had done previously, so the tl Austrian submarines have got c' out and have been raiding Medi- -A teranean commerce with impuni- u ty. The Italians also failed to C keep their promises to send troops and heavey guns to defend Mount Lovcen, although Kt they have been free to cross the w Adriatic any time during the t' last seven months. 80 it seems C( as if Nicholas had lost his king- t' . dom through the neglect of his e son-in-law, the King of Italy, In reality the fatal d( lay was ^ doubtless duo to a difference of Of opinion among the Italian uu- b thorities as to the conduct of ?? war, some of them being strong b ly opposed to any participation T in the lialkans. Recently, how- t-1 ever, it was decided to enter up- "> on a campaign in Alban a and NV troops have been transported across the Adriatic to Durazzo t and Avlona, although apparent- C( lytCoo late to prevent tfie l>ol '1 gars and Austrians from over ? running Albania as well as Mon- , fi , te negro. 1 The French have landed troops g up >n the Greek isl.,nd of < -orfo, 2 IgWMW?? dMMW H ?ff ?

The German papers denounce lie ia<sing of the French flag ver Achilleion as a personal injlt to the Kaiser as well as a iolation of the Greek neutrality worse evoii than the occupa<?n of Salonica since Corfu, is ke Belgium, under a guarantee I perpetual neutrality by Engmd, Itussia, Austria, Prussia nd France in the treaties of t' November 14 1803, and March ), 1854. Corfu was up to that me under the protection of reat Britian, but the inhabi tnts longed tor union with their elienic brethren and irtanifeeitions cf disaffection were freuent. Finally Bulwer Lytton, hen Secretary of State for the olonies, took the unconvention1 step of sending Gladstone, be mse of his interest in Greek terature, to the Ionian isles as commissioner to learn the deres of the people, and as a con;quence the seven islands were un6ferred to Greece, which was jen placed under a Danish rince, George, father of the signing King Constantine. The Greek government has rotested to the Allied l'owers gainst this new violation of her eutrality, but is not likely to ike any further action since j le Allied troops already on reek territory outnumber the reek army. The Allied Lowers ave informed Greece that their icupation of the island is only jmporary "in order to save the eroic Serbian soldiers from faline and destruction." It is laimed that the German and .ustrian submarines have been sing the sheltered inlet3 of orfu for repairing, and replenihing their fuel. It appears that the German asitilt ot the French lines last eek was a nwtre serious affair iiat was at first reported. Aeirding to the French account le Germans bombarded their ntrenchments along a front of ve mlies near the butte of Le lesnil for four days, firing 100,30 shells in the last twelve ours. Then they charged, not 1 solid column as they used to ut in four successive waves. hree waves were stopped by ue curtain of lire from batteries f the French 75'sbutthe fourth ave gained tne lirst line of reaches for a distance of three r four hundred yards. Most of liis was recovered later by the mmter-attacks of the French, he Germans used asphyxiating as< s but to little effect, for the ind changed and blew the Limes back over their own ranks, he French unofficial estimates ive the enemy's losses as over 5,000. t- Throngs of peof SATURDAY NI s and lots of other gc rices on all our dvely close SATUF BIG CHAUTAl TOGET Next week is the week! Three days of the finest entertainment Chesterfield has ever enjoyed are sohednled for Feb. 4th, 5th, and 7th. In the forenoon of each day there will be addresses by such men as Mr. Swearencren. State Superintendent of Education ; E. J. Watson, State Commissioner of Agriculture, and our own respected cilizen, the Hon, W. F. Stevenson. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the people ot the town and surrounding communi ty that this Chautauqua is not a money scheme. Aside from a legitimate fee to the artists who are to entertain us there is to be no financial profit to anyone. This is an unselfish move by certain citizens with the praisworthy endeavor of furnishing a high-class entertainment that will be of distinct value to the com m unity. The attractions uro of a high-; class and will be both educational and pleasing to all. The following gentlemen pledged three hundred and sixty dollars to obtain for Chesterfield the Chautauqua: Emsley Armfield, C. L Hunley, H. M. O.lom, W. G. White, Jr., D. I*. Douglass, Walter Douglass, C. C. Douglass, F. M. Therrell, I- F. Mangum, J. O. Rivers, L. EL* Trotti, J. A. Welsh, S. A. l'orter. W. J. Ferry and I). 11. Douglass. If enough tickets are not sold these genr.lemen will have to go down in their pockets and make up a deficit; if more than enough tickets are sold to pay the guarantee to the Chautauqua management, $;?>0.00, the balance will be given to the Chesterfield High School. 1 FIRST DAY?FEB. 4TB BOOSTER D.
