Berlin, Jan. IT.
Umperor vVUllam. oillclitm announced
to be completely recovering nnd returning
to tlij front. Is roportoC In high riunrters
to be oh hla way to, tho Eastern theatre
of war.
It Is In tho east that well-informed
persons expect the next great hnttlos to
occur, and tho arrival of tho Kaiser thero
may be 'a signal for a renewal of the great
German offensive against tho Rueslnris,
which was halted by the Servian cam
paign i. .
Germans In gcnoral bellevo the var
will be won In Iluisln. The deadlock In
tho west Is one tha can be broken bv
neither Teutons nor Allies without enor
mous losses that uoihl make victory In
such operations ar empty one, according
to some German experts. They point out
that the length of the front In Russia
makes tho Eastern theatre of war the
only ono In which there can be any exer
cise of military strntogy.
The belief Is growing in Berlin that
there will be no campaign against Palon
lea. By Its victory in Serbia Germany
accomplished Its two-fold purpose of
making Bulgaila Its ally and stopping
the transportation of ammunition to Rus
sia from Salonlcn. Nothing further would
he gained by tho capture of Salonlca,
tho experts say.
Tho enlistment of Bulgnrla as an ally
of tho Teutons and the severance of
communication between Salonlca and
Ilurslu Is a blow at the Ruslans that has
been little appreciated except In Berlin.
Tho Czar's nrmy'got a largo part of Its
ammunition supplies from England and
Franco through Salonlca, Noiv It Is de
pendent upon Its own exertions and upon
the supplies that enn be carried oer the
Trans-Siberian railway or taken In
through Archangel, which Is completely
Icebound In winter.
MONTENEGRO SUES FOR PEACE;
FIRST BREAK IN ALLIES' RANKS
BERLIN, Jnn. 17. "c first break in the ranks of the Allies occurred
today Cnished and threatened with complete disaster nt the hands of tho
Austrian invaders, Montenegro sued for peace nnd has agreed to an un
conditional surrender of tho remnnnts of her nrmics.
Offir.W announcement of this fact was nnde in the Hungarian Parlia
ment by Count Tiszn. Tho news was received with great rejoicing in
Budapest and in Berlin when it was telegrnphed here.
"Parliament had just finished tho first paragraph of tho dny's older
of business when Count Tisza asked permission to interrupt tho discussion,"
said the dispatch.
"Count Tiszn then informed Parliament that the King and Government
of Montenegrp havo nsked for the inauguration of peace negotiations."
Austria complied with a demand that Montenegro lay down nrms,
the Hungarian Premier added. This demand was acceded to by King
Nicholas, the Premier said.
"Great demonstrations followed in Parliament.
'I 'We nsked in the first plnce that Montenegro lav down arms uncon
ditionally,' added tho Primc Minister, amid joyful shouts. Just at this
moment the news has nrrived that Montenegro has accepted. Since the
Ereliminary conditions have been enrried out, peaco negotiations will
egin immediately.'"
Montenegro did not sign the treaty of London, binding England,
France, Russia and Italy to conclude no separate peace.

DUTCH QUEEN HASTENS TO FLOODED REGION
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 17. Queen Wllhelmlna has cone to the Hooded' district
In northern Holland. It Is believed that tho loss of life In tho provinces of
north Holland, where breaks occurred In a lumber of dikes, will probably
reach 60. Refugees are flocking Into The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam, whera

A suit brought today by two hospitals
and by Mrs. Gertrude H, Tyson and Miss
trances Tjson, wife ana daughter or Dr.
T. Mellor Tyson, of 1506 Spruce street,
seeks to break an agreement made by
John and Samuel -Jamison concerning the
estates of Samuel and his sister Jane, who
aro said to have entered Into a suicide
pact In August, the "suicide month,"
1913.
Miss Jane Jamison and her brother,
Samuel, the former 59 ears old; the lat
ter, 67; jived in retirement on a beautiful
estate on Hare's lane, half a mile from
Radnor station. On August 31, 1913, they
were found by servants suffering from
the effects of poisons. Miss Jamison died
on the way to Bryn Mawr Hospital, but
her brother recovered. On the following
January 24 he shot and killed himself In
a vacant house near Ardmore
Brother and sister have left each other
the bulk of their estates. Between the time
of his tlrst attempt to end his life and his
second and successful attempt. Samuel
Jamison had an Interview with his brother
John, at which an agreement was made.
This, if It holds, would deprive four equal
shares of a certain part of Miss Jamison's
estate from going, one to Mr. Tyson,
and on her death to her daughter, one
each to the German and Rush Hospitals,
and one to St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.
It Is this agreement between the broth
ers (hat the plaintiffs In the equity suit
seek to have declared null and void, as
they would lose their shares If It Is al
lowed to stand, ir.4 the suit Is directed
against John Jamison.
