Only one. construction Is placed hero on tills Intelligence that Montenegro ml raits defeat and has passed, practically, under Austrian control. Another declstvo stags In tho Ualkan situation, It Is felt, has been reached and that this stage Is as unfavorable to tho Allies and more Important In Its eventual results as the overrunning of Serbia. Even If Montenegro and Austria como to terms the Austrlans will be compelled to keep a .heavy force In tho conquered kingdom., for tho possibility will exist of an nttaplf by ,lhc Italians and Serbians by way of Albania, Dispatched from Athens state that a comprehensive attack upon Hilonlca Ii being developed by the Central Powers..

FOUR GERMAN SAILORS ' ARRESTED AT DU PONTES Continued from l'aee One were arrested by Immigration Inspector Harry T. Davis whllo working In the Ban croft cloth mtH". Wilmington, from which plant tlieycould overlook the du Pont powder works. They were arrested so quietly that noth ing was known about It in Wilmington or in this "city until today. Warrants for tbelr arrest had been Issued by the De partment of Labor, and nt their hearing 'today, before Commissioner CJreenawnlt, they were held to nwalt the action of the department cm the cases. i "What is considered of tho greiitcst significance in regard to tho caso among Government olllclals in this city is tho fact that tho Department of Labor Is evidently keeping n. close tab on the whereabouts and activities of nil the Germans who hnvo come to this country on ships since the outbreak of the war. It was Intimated today that the Govern ment would not have gone to the Inllnlto pains of running down tlifbe men unless there, km "more tn It" than a mere breach of tho -mmlgratlon rules , Ono theory Is that the Government be lieves tho Germans now In custody nt 'Gloucester Know something of the where abouts of the ofllcers and certain mem bers of tho crow of tho Kltel Frledrlch. who left that German auxiliary cruiser before It watt interned at Norfolk. Ques tioning of the detained seamen may bring out this. Information, it is thought, MEN SPEAK ONLY GEHMAN Tho four men were asked today why they left their ships without permission. They Indicated that they knew only German, iind sa were addressed tn that language. "Oh, I don't know," said Altman. shrugging Mm shoulders. "I nun- pose because wa were tired of staying on boarq a ship locked up in port In definitely. We wanted to see something of the world and get to work. It's no tfun being idle." '-(typid you try to get work In the du Pont powder- works?" "What would have been the use nf trying tbat?" was bis retort. "Our Ger man names, woujd have prevented us from getting Jobs there." Interned . German sailors, or sailors from an,x country for that matter, who re allowed' to leave their ships .have to give their Word tonerum; .and are not . suppoaed'to' tako positions as residents of phis couijtry, unless they hove left the swvico Of their ships and passed the i-, necessary Immigration examinations to t ietermlne their ntness to remain in this untry.

STATUS OP SAlLOltS DIFFKHS. Tlio status of a. sailor on n belllgerant ship properly Interned Is different from that, of a sailor on a trading Vessel, In that the. escape of the former and his engagement in activities In behalf of his fatherland would bo a breach of neu trality, while tho escape of the latter would be merely a breach of the Immi gration rules, which require- examination to determine the Iltncsi of aliens to rcsido here. No ono In Wilmington, oulsldo of those who witnessed the nrtsts, knew that four "suspects" had been caught. There has been a great deal of trepldntlou among emplojes nt the du Pont Dlants on both sides of the river since the oxploslon of November 30, last, when 30 workmen wero killed.

A carpenter nt the Carne.v's Point plant, a man whose word Is reliable, re cently said that he had seen notices in December warning workmen to quit the mills before January I, as "something terrible will happen between January 1 and January Jj ' These notices wcio pasted up In various places about tlio plant, hut weic nil torn down bj tho spe cial police employed by tho company.

"It Is nonsense," Mild one of the at taches. "Wo don't know anything about ii. ot course, ami tlicieroie we can't talk." It was explained that the four Garinuux necessarily had not violated their parole or deserted their ships merely because they wero found near Wilmington.

U.S. U-BOAT POLICY BAR TO PROTESTS TO BRITAIN Suggestion Made Washington Has Lost Weapon to Prevent Trade Interference WASHINGTON. Jan. II. The suggestion that the United States baa lost Its chief weapon to prevent Ille gal Interference with American commerce by Great Hcitnln and her allies Is being Investigated by those Senators and Rep resentatives who have been advocating reprisals to force a change in the Ilrltlsh methods. This suggestion has been set up by the opponents of munition-embargo legislation, who hold that. In peremptor ily defending tlio right of Americans to fillip munitions abroad In Its reply to Austria, the state Department committed the United Stntes to a policy that cannot now bo reversed without causing much embarrassment.
