TVsililrmlon, Jan 17 Occupation of
Montenegro by S'erblin troops has re

according to an offlclil statement Issued
hero at the Montenegrin legation. In
surgents numbering about 20,0no have
succeeded In occupjlng several towns
from which the SVrblan forces were
driven.
The Insurgents, tho- announcement
said, Jiavo sent a delegation to King
Nicholas, at Paris, nsklng that Ameri
can troops be sent to Montenegro to
preserve order
fom weeks ago the Statu Department
was Informed by the Montenegrin com
mltteo for national unity that a con
vention of representatives duly chosen
by tho Montenegrin peoplo had met and
deposed King Nicholas and voted to
Join the country with the federation of
tho Pel is, Slovenes nnd Croits under
the Serbian dnast. Later represen-!
tatlves of tho assembly went to Helgrado
to report this action, and the country i
was formallv accepted by the King
Itegent ns a part of Grrater Serbia
Ihe Montenegrin Government has In-1
slstcd and has so Informed tno State
Depirttnent thit tho iissembly which de
posed Klnp Nicholas was without author
ity, as it never hsd been legally formed.
New York, Jan. 17. The text of a
proclamation by Crown Prince A'exan
der of Herbla, recent of tho new king
dom of the Serbs, Croits and Slovenes,
announcing the formation of a new
Government and arrangements for the
convoking of a d-emocratle constituent
assembly was made public here last
iilght by tho official bureau of lnforma
tlon of the kingdom.
The proclamation, signed In Itclgrsde,
the capital of tho new kingdom, said
that the Government had been formed
"In nccord with the chiefs and pleni
potentiaries of all the Serbian, Croatian
and Slovene pollllca: parties," and that
leaders from "all the threo religions
and all tho three branches of our race '
will have representation, including Mon
tenegro. The soil of the kingdom, ho sild.
would bo divided among the "neces
sitous" peasants "with Just compensa
tion to tho present owners," nnd the
Government will work toward the es
tablishing by tho Peaco Conference of
political frontiers faithfully In accord
with the ethnographic frontiers of our
wholo nation." Ilspeclal attention will
be given to obtaining for the new nation
full rights to "our" Adriatic Sea 'from

Five hundred pissengers, mostly
Greeks, Serbians nnd Itusslans, have
been drowned. Another steamship saved
150 of thO'o on board.
Paris, Jan 17 Tho war between de
mocracy and terrorism will be decided
largely at tho International labor and
Socialist congress In Heme this month,
according to Arthur Henderson, British
Labor leader
Henderson explained this was the rea
son the Government had supported
tacitly the proposal of British labor that
German and Russian delegates bo ad
mitted 'o tho congress
"Tho fate of tho worlds democracies
Is at stake," he sild 'Tho Issue Is dO'
mocracy versus terrorism. Between the
two tho Western World cannot long de
las" Its choice.
"Wo speak for organized society In Its
most real sense. We are prepared to
stand between civilization and chnos.
Now that tho Governments nro begin
ning to realize that fact, there Is little
likelihood of their reverting to tho old
Idea that we (labor men) dro to be
feared "
Mr. Henderson said the Allied Labor
lies and Socialists have drawn up a
program of their principles, the reforms
they desire, etc. which ro ready now
to present to tho representatives of the
Central Powers and neutral nations. The
Berne congress will differ from the
Peaco Conference hi this re'pect, as
tho Allies will be occupied in Pails for
months In reaching an agreement bl
presenting their program o the CentJ
Powers.
Tho British labor leader expressed
hops that America would be rer
sented, but said he had received no lij
matlon of tho intention of Samuel Gel
pers, president of the American Fd
tlon of Lnbor, and his associates.
Is known, however, that Mr. aomt.l
Intends to confer with British tnvJ
