BULLYING A LITTLE NEIGHBOR
What is Europe going to do with
little Montenegro?
This is the question that is agitat
Inir European chancellories, aiid it
Is more or less interesting to Anieri-
cans, .-'. ;'
The cynical disregard of equity
which Europe has shown' in its deal
ings with the Balkan nations comes
strorfgly t the fore in this 'question
of Montenegro.' Every other of the
Balkan group lias sciied and is hold
ing a particular share nthe spoils
of war, ; Montenegro has only , this
city of Scutari, which the powers say
must be awarded to the new indepen
dent kingdom of Albania. . : " v
The only excuse for the making of
this new kingdom. Is the desire of
Europe to truckle to Austria. That
country wishes to drive a wedge be
tween Servia, and incidentally Mon
tenegro, and the sea. Austria long
has looked for an outlet on the Aegan
If the strong young Balkan confed
eracy owned that part of Turkey
known as Albania this ambition must
be given up forever; f 'With this as an
independent kingdontf however,, it is
possible that in years to come Aus
trian influence may worm its way to
to a protectorate. - .
Montenegro, however, wishes a city
that Austria has decided' shall go to
the new country. Montenegro, it is
said, intends to make Scutari its capi
tal instead of Cettinje, now exposed
to Austrian attack. The little coun
try defied the orders of the combined
European powers, and ignored a fleet
sent to make it submit in order to
secure the coveted prize for a week
and more. . ,':;;,; ,:;..;.:. .' V
Now Austria says that if Europe
will not unite to ous,t Montenegro, it
will undertake the task alone. ,A1
ready troops are wider way, S If force
should be used agninut the Montene
grins, It is very unlikely that Russia,
Montenegro's old time friend, would
stand by and nee it crushed. In this
fact lies the danger of the situation
Europe Is alarmed for fear the pres
ent crisis should precipitate the long
expected general war.
Will the powers be able to agree as
to what shull be done with Mos It ne
gro? If thoy do agree, will they act
in concert? Will the Balkan nations
submit to the coercion of one of their
number? The.se are questions that
the next few days will answer.

MUTUAL IGNORANCE.
Quaint Story of Dumas and Scriba, the
Playwright. "
Sardou bad his eyes opeued by tbe
plays of Scribe. At that day It was tbe
fashion anioug the youuger literary
men to sneer at Scribe as It 1? today,
by the way. to sneer at Etardou. Scribe
was called a "potboiler.", a maker of
mechanical plays, a man who wrote
neenea to fit scenery aiid a maker of
plots rather than of plays. ' AppalHtig
tales were told of hiui by unsuccessful
playwrights. Ii was whispered that be

chased ideas, revamped them and thus
acquired tbe large fortune which be
was i"u enjoying.
